As someone who leans agnostic, I would say this is a strawman argument. Unicorns and religions/gods are not related.

Read the article, sounds like both parties are just blowing smoke. At the end it tells us current investment into this market was less than 100b last year. So 1tril is a 10x investment of the yearly we see today. It also suggested the entire chip industry is doing about 600b in sales. So Sam is looking to take a 10x investment into the space?

Altman's fundraising goal of $5 trillion to $7 trillion far exceeds the present valuation of the worldwide semiconductor industry, which recorded sales of $527 billion last year and is anticipated to hit the $1 trillion mark by 2030. Meanwhile, chip manufacturers invested $99.5 billion in chip fabrication equipment in 2022 and are projected to allocate $97 billion for fabrication tools this year.

I mean I believe the numbers they come up with, that they want to 10x the space. But it's a ludicrous goal that doesn't really make sense in practice. Every CEO would love to take on 7 trillion dollars of investment to do anything and would scream it from the mountaintops.

I just don't know that what they are saying is meaningful at all, at least Sam's 7tril claim

Could you elaborate on which? I've seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like "grocery trips are $N these days" is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be "my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!"

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

Fastmail supports aliases as well. I'm not sure how they are from a privacy side overall tho

Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving smaller vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

I'm also the moderator of a community that Stamets has quit, so I know that losing him is a blow, because he posts a lot of content

Eh no worries, not really a loss when most of the posts were a deluge of low quality content. My feed instantly got better after that block..

I don't feel the need to defraud the government and our limited social welfare taxes. I'll happily tell my employer white lies about family who don't exist, but never the government.

The feline investigation bureau?

Surprised you don't take this sort of detail up to your skip level. Corporations are not entirely blind to issues in all cases. Actually, I bet you have raised these concerns. For all the folks nodding along, talk to your boss' boss!! You owe it to yourself to try

This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).

I don't think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.

You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.

I think that's why you haven't found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don't include tracking. You'll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.
