A wire shouldn't take that long, but ACH will take 5 business days. They might be thinking of that.

You picked the most extreme example of any account. I'd bet Elon gets a lot of hate-follows. They won't like his tweets. You can see many real people replying to his tweets, so you can tell he gets plenty of engagement. For other

The algo gets on my nerves sometimes. I don't need to see tweets from Jordan Peterson just because someone I follow, follows Peterson. I like using saved searches to find stuff that has a minimum amount of engagement: https:/&#x2

I wouldn't trust Cory Doctorow's anecdotal evidence on Twitter usage. His Like/View ratio is very low, and overall engagement for someone with 486k followers is some of the worst I've seen. Part of the issue is he spams

How do you spend $55/month on a VPS? Isn't that the amount you spend on a reasonably popular application host? He obviously is more of a software developer than an sysadmin, so maybe it's just a poorly optimized personal app

This seems so odd to me. A CEO's politics never factor into deciding to purchase a product. Would you tolerate a poor product experience if you agreed with the CEO's politics?

It doesn't seem like you've said anything backed by facts. The number of employees in hospitals dropping at the start of the pandemic supports that hospitals were under extra stress. Also, it's logical to assume that a crowde

> '2 weeks to slow the spread' Wasn't that to prevent over-crowding of hospitals? Were hospitals not over-crowded?

Unfortunately, Mozilla has become too politicized in the past several years for them to be productive in this area. They also have a habit of shutting down projects that aren't immediately as successful as Firefox.

If your position is that digital assets should be banned, you're a little late for that. Digital assets are defined in the US as property by the IRS since about 2014, and a commodity by the CFTC. Furthermore, giving someone US dollars
