I placed my first-ever order on the Google store last year for a Pixel phone. Then a FedEx employee left a voicemail asking suspicious questions about my package. Then my phone went missing. FedEx later said they had no record of an employe

Reminds me of the original version of blockles [1] on i'minlikewithyou (later OMGPOP) [2]. That was one of my favorite games back in the day. From reading the Wikipedia article, it looks like they were a YC company too. [1]: https

I have no memory of opting in, I checked under Settings -> Google and "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" was set to "Off", and the MassNotify app was still installed on my phone. It has no icon and the only way to find

Would it be reasonable to assert pure proof of stake is less risky than delegated proof of stake? I don't claim to be an expert in crypto but from what I've read it seems like pure proof of stake is a leap ahead of other consensus

Algorand has been Proof of Stake for years (2019 MainNet launch) and it's actually carbon-negative [1]. It's a shame more people don't know about it. Its founder is a Turing-award-winning MIT professor (Silvio Micali) who sol

What's stopping Mercury or Brex's partner bank from pulling the carpet out from under them too? The bank I switched away from to join Azlo is archaic and frustrating to deal with but I'm having second thoughts creating an acc

I also have tinnitus from chronic ear infections when I was a child. I find that the WHM doesn't get rid of the high pitched hum but temporarily adds a white-noise-like sound on top of it.

The first strategy I completely agree with. Growth happens outside of your comfort zone. The second and third strategies I don't completely relate to. If it works for you, great. The fourth I would somewhat disagree with. You need to k

I think the actual product images are more tangible to the customer compared to the illustrations. My gut feeling is that the new design and repositioning of the elements on the page don't make a huge difference aside from drawing atte

I understand the supposed reasoning, although in my own experience the uniformity of the fries is very spotty nonetheless. Usually employees don't spread the salt properly or they don't hold the shaker long enough for all the salt

I worked in a franchisee-owned McDonalds circa 2011 and I agree with the sentiment of this article. At the time they were trying to be all things to all people. Instead of focusing on their core strength: burgers and fries, they expanded an
