Now I'm waiting for Effective Ventures Foundation (Centre for Effective Altruism) to voluntarily return all donations made by SBF or FTX share-holders. If they do not, all their credibility is lost.

I agree, Taipei is a nice place to live and Taiwan is an amazing island. But do you work completely remotely (for a US company)? Do you have any experience with local businesses or starting something in Taiwan? I've lived in Hong Kong and I'm interested in your insights. My email is in my profile.

HEPA Air Filters "There are three modes: circulate with outside air, re-circulate inside air and a bioweapon defense mode that creates positive pressure inside the cabin to protect occupants." This is immensely useful in Chinese cities!

Good comment. The contrast between banks and Goo/FB in data collected is significant indeed. But then also the ability/inventiveness of Goo/Fb of what can be done with the data is far more powerful than of the banks'.

Interesting. Could you, please, elaborate on this? I would like to learn more about this issue so any good sources of information would be highly appreciated.

Great. I love mountainbiking and was serious about it for more than ten years now. I agree with all you are saying. I would add that there are still opportunities to improve and build better bicycles. Especially the recumbent bikes community is very actively hacking better machines. I have some friends involved and was able to try several prototypes - if I have the extra money to invest I would definitely support this. It is innovative, useful and fun! I have also used a bicycle for commuting in every city I've ever lived. It is probably the best way to explore the surroundings and get to know the city map. Just note: I have experience only from Europe and Eastern Asia. David, I would be happy to visit you someday with my bike in Padova.
