I'm not saying it will fully replace google, but I find startpage.com to be much better than DDG, and I am leaning back on google search less and less

Everest uses biometrics to tie your information to your wallet. The tech is actually pretty cool in my opinion - they have the Everest ID coin itself, but I am more interested in the identity management part of it.
I'm not sure I'm 100% on board, but the tech is really interesting and their approach to privacy seems much better than I would expect from an offering like that. The aim is to be able to offer Know Your Customer using their identity platform to a mulititude of services.
Everest.org is their site
Re:Robinhood’s sinking value is proof that “free” can often be costly

They deserve every bit of failure they cultivated. We all know when it's 'free', that you are the product -- but a LOT of people who didn't realize that had a very expensive eye opening experience Jan 2021.
I hope when it's over Vlad and all the other people at the top there rot in jail.
Re:The FDA is proposing a ban on menthol cigarettes

Every other time this has come up, all the black people I know were pissed off that they were going to be banned and pretty vocal about it.
I don't see why it would be any less likely that the menthol exception was due to listening to black peoples opposition to the ban.
