Is this not, like... super common?

I'm experiencing a flood of referral spam from these same domains. Seems like thousands of other site owners are too.

When will Google respond and step in? Clearly the GA4 tag is being exploited and my blocking efforts have failed, plus new domains are popping up.

With this particular solution, I agree.

But LLMs and RAG in general couldn't be further from crypto in terms of utility.

TLDR;

> the Delete Act would empower the CPPA to develop a system by 2026 that allows residents to make a single data deletion request across the nearly 500 registered data brokers operating in the state. The CPPA would also be charged with enforcing provisions of the Delete Act, such as requiring data broker registration and ensuring brokers delete an individual's personal information every 45 days upon receipt of a verified request.

It's hard to be accountable to oneself. But it's easier to be accountable to others.

So, feedback from others motivates me.

Seeing people visit my website, even if only a few dozen or hundred, is motivating.

$45k/month is more than a "side hustle."

And Tony's products ARE useful. Or else people wouldn't buy them.

Value is subjective.

How is that "super-weird" or "specific"? If anything, your idea of advanced pieces not being "up" is obscure.

> I really can’t think of a less inspiring goal than playing “advanced” or “technically challenging” music

Really? You can't understand how aiming to conquer a highly technical and musical piece is inspiring? It's the same as tackling any other difficult goal.

Music at a less technical level isn't meaningless, but it's an inherent limitation on your musicality if your repertoire is limited by technique.

Technique facilitates greater musicality. Sheet music facilitates greater technique.

Regardless, do as you please, but it's like saying, "I'll never learn code, because I can build no-code products!"

It's objectively a ceiling if you can't work towards playing the most technically challenging music.

It doesn't have to be Bach. You will struggle to learn ANY advanced piano without sheet music.

Sure it's for "beginners," but I'm saying it will inherently stunt their growth compared to putting in the work to learn sheet music.

Yes, this app could serve as an introduction to piano, but ultimately relying on it will be detrimental to long-term growth.

I think the app would b more useful if it helped teach sheet music (which can be frustrating for beginners) through this friendly UI.

I'm sure you can play piano, but I'm also willing to bet it has put a ceiling on the types of pieces you can learn.

Have you tried learning a Chopin Ballade or Bach WTC fugue without sheet music?

I wouldn't call it "fairly common."

There are certainly outliers who play by ear or rely on improvisation, but musicians in all genres rely on sheet music to develop their craft.

Looks cool design-wise, but who is this for?

Although the upfront cost of learning sheet music is a few weeks of study, it quickly becomes worth it due to gains in speed of learning and sightreading skills.

Maybe this can introduce people to piano and get them playing quickly, but it'll ultimately stunt their development.

I don't quite understand hypertension medication.

It treats high blood pressure to lower the number for its own sake, but isn't hypertension really a symptom stemming from a root cause?

Can't tell if facetious

Russell Brand has 1.4 million followers on Rumble

> If he is demonetized, then his videos won’t get ad placement

Not necessarily true. YouTube definitely runs ads on demonetized videos and channels.

True but not all academic essays are meaningless (a lot are).

College admissions essays for instance play a significant role in admissions at top schools.

> As of June 30, 2023, we had 1,458 customers generating over $50,000 of ARR, representing growth of 94% year-over-year.

Of 130,000 customers

Indeed.

Ultimately, unrelenting inquiry came to: "I am."

Funny how many "I"'s and "my"'s in this piece.

This was especially ironic:

> "I want to kill my ego, or at least substantially break it"

There was a study[1] recently about isometric exercises (wall sits, planks, etc.) being most beneficial type of exercise for lowering blood pressure.

I've also anecdotally found that supplementing magnesium glycinate seemed to help.

Perhaps consider getting some thyroid blood tests? (T3/T4 free, TSH) Mine was elevated which contributed to higher blood pressure.

Also since you're vegan, perhaps check for vitamin, mineral, and nutritional deficiencies.
