It depends on what I’m reading. If I’m reading a book I enjoy, I absorb the pages as if a movie is playing in my mind. I don’t see the words, only the images of however my imagination creates it.

If I’m reading something technical or work related, I can’t concentrate because my mind is unable to bridge that gap between the text and my imagination. I find myself bored within moments and I skim the text looking for keywords that are relative to the problem I’m trying to solve.
You're being incredibly disingenuous.

> Where I live it's pretty common to have a 6-7 year old gaming PC with SSD, and RAM upgrade among less tech savvy people.

Why would a "less tech savvy" person have a gaming PC?

That's not what a gaming PC is for…

> i5-5350u from newest Macbook Air is actually way slower than 9 year old i7-960, and it's sufficient for most people.

1. i7-960 is the processor from the Mac Pro. i5-5350u is from an ultraportable laptop.

2. The "newest Macbook Air" hasn't been substantially updated in around three to four years.

> Four year old Nexus 6P has latest system version

There's many things wrong with this statement, so let me break it down.

1. Nexus 6P came out in September 2015, so it's not even three years old yet.

2. Nexus 6P will not be getting the Android P update, which is currently in beta.

3. Nexus 6P is the high-end flagship phone literally backed by Google. No other Android phone is going to get updates as long as it does.

4. iPhone 6, which came out in 2014, will most likely be getting the update for iOS 12.
This is the key here, and really the point I was trying to make.

Very few large projects like this are based on hourly billing / time and materials.
Proper procurement would do fixed price contracts (outcomes based) with a set number of contract variations in place. Where large consulting companies / system integrators secure their margins (and tangentially try and screw over their customer) is by making the fixed price offer really attractive and then to hard on scope as requirements change to pump through as many contract variations as possible at a premium price.

>Regardless, after the declining baby boomer population finally loses their political influence, millennials will step in and fix the problem themselves

The millennial children of the 1% will inherit those houses and once the boomers are gone they will find another scapegoat to blame while they try to justify their parasitic streams of rental income.

Americans are weirdly susceptible to being divided along identity politics lines.

The whole "boomer vs. millenial" thing is just the 1% engaging in a game of scapegoat, divide and rule. By blaming your mom, you're helping them.
Imagine if this had happened to Apple, everyone and his dog would be rolling over each other villifying them.
I've noticed a lot of people setting up UK limited companies for similar reasons - you can do it online for a few pounds and there seem to be very few checks done on your identity or business plan when you do so.
You have people trying to mix cryptocurrencies and torrents as well to achieve this exact purpose. The two main ones I know are Upfiring (https://www.upfiring.com/) and VTorrent (http://vtorrent.info/)
Fiction in most cases uses descriptive language, with a lot of cues for imagination to kick in. It's something different compared to reading scientific articles in journals. In such article you need to follow the logical reasoning and decision-making, considering other possibilities and outcomes (especially when reading the problem analysis and conclusion parts).

Both cases have similar pattern in terms of wandering off for me, but they are not quite the same. Reading for joy means enjoying the products of your own imagination, but sometimes it shoots over the line, I guess. Reading for work is more tedious, because its not for fun, hence the guessing distraction, like "yeah, I get it, but what about this and that?" Having understood the problem, reading the solutions then seems kinda obvious.

There is a difference, but both follow the same pattern, so: yeah.
Ok. But firstly, he/she doesn't fear your competition now, or when you open.

Secondly, this seems to assume that his product is easily replicable, and that you'll be able to find some untouched environment in which to plonk yourself down and get free business.

Far enough away from his store is likely in a position where there is no business. Plus we have a phrase for easily replicable businesses in economics: low barriers to entry.

And they're exactly the kind of businesses that have the longest tails of miserable wages and miserable returns. What's more, because every man and his dog can do them, there is no untouched environment in which to plonk yourself down and you have competition from everyone.

Those who invested in their skills over the long term, are talented, grow their skills, understand the market, get lucky, and/or used their privileged advantages wisely take the prime real estate/positions, and they thrive there. And for the most part, they do not care about some upstart newbie who thinks "making coffee/food is easy" opening up next door, any more than tom hanks loses sleep about all the wannabe actors turning up in LA.

You move far enough away, and you lose out on all reasons that the original business person wants that position specifically. And if you're good enough to induce demand where-ever you set up, odds are its because you're good enough (probably through 30+ years of experience) to do so.

By all means, imitate successful strategies. But my first advice is not some fantasy regarding being able to find a magical good-transmission person (how do you identify them with your lack of knowledge? How do you know the restraunter isn't barely making minimum wage or burning through his inheritance like so many I see around here despite big lines?) or a magical good-transmission-owning-consultant (again, how do you know one, all consultants will tell you they're good and will be willing to take your money as long as you pay them).

No. My advice would simply be to find a couple of fields/skills, preferably ones that aren't looking like they're already going the way of the dodo already, and work your butt off getting good at them.

If you think you want to run a restaurant/coffee cart, start working in restaurants, or as a barrister/roaster.

If you think you want to run a transmission joint, go work in one.

And if you want to turn it into a business, learn some basic economics/business on the side. Low barrier to entry businesses have the lowest expected returns, and every successful business is more complicated than it looks.

You could do that, if the one megawatt of solar power came from the roof your building because you built solar panels on it, as Apple has done.
There is the risk of cascading errors. You can take many examples of beliefs that persisted for many decades, or even centuries in times past, that were simply wrong. But these wrong beliefs were often supported by layer after layer of corroborating evidence. The issue of course is that a derivative measurement takes the original measurement as a given, and then creates new formulae based on the result of the first - so you end up with two things corroborating the same view, even though its wrong.

So I guess the question is what measurements are completely and absolutely independent? I don't recall in strata aging if the formation rate was alone used to determine age - so far as I recall the ages were dated by cross referencing known 'benchmarks', but then you've just created this very effect by assuming the age and then using that calibrate your method.

And for what it's worth, I am not suggesting that the dating or other methods are incorrect here. Just pointing out some possible issues in this logic.

> Backed by EU funding to the tune of €410 million, the funds are aiming to raise up to €2.1 billion of public and private investment

> In 2016, venture capitalists invested about €6.5 billion in the EU compared to €39.4 billion in the US.

> Moreover, VC funds in Europe are too small – €56 million on average compared to €156 million in the US.

> The six funds will take stakes in a number of smaller investee funds and cover projects in at least four European countries each. These investee funds will help finance small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps from a range of sectors such as information and communication technologies (ICT), digital, life sciences, medical technologies, and resource and energy efficiency.

Are you sure it's an email client you're looking for? The client is just the software used to read the mail; it's independent from the server that sends and receives it.

An email client won't help much in terms of privacy if gmail is still your email service provider.
> due to some queer placement of the NTFS filesstem structures

It isn't really queer: some core, regularly accessed, structures are deliberately in the middle of the filesystem to reduce head movements in the common use case of it being a single volume (or the most significant volume for the currently IO tasks) on a spinning-disk-and-floating-heads based drive. This essentially splits free space in two from the very start so an 8Gb volume is going to start with two ~4Gb ranges of unallocated space not one single 8Gb range.

ext* filesystems distribute group descriptors, superblock backups, and other structures, around volumes instead of keeping them at one end, for simialar reasons. See https://www.slashroot.in/understanding-file-system-superbloc... and much other online documentation. (though spreading the superblocks around isn't a performance thing, it is to reduce the damage potentially caused by localised physical disk corruption)

The queer part is software coupling itself so tightly with the storage layer such that it can't cope with a file not being physically 100% contiguous. The example in that link sounds like a virtualisation method trying to be very aggressive about optimising the mapping between guest disk access and physical storage (which might convey a small performance benefit) - if you are optimising like that then you are probably better off trying to use raw block devices rather than files on a host filesystem.
As I learned, my habit of kinda omitting the obvious and wander off to the non-obvious relations behind it all the time seems to be rare. I've never met another person who does that.
My rise to riches was relatively recent. I was making 100K/year 10 years ago and 200K/year 5 years ago when I moved to the West Coast.
"That shows how ridiculous a 27% target for 2030 is"
Yeah well, if your country has plenty of wind coming from the ocean and you are not a big industrial nation with a lot of energy demand, then 27% seems to be a low goal...

> It's really a wonderful story of the triumph of open source philosophy over the IP licensing model

It’s not an “open source philosophy over the IP licensing model.” It’s bankrolling a codec with content, device, and middleman revenues rather than content player revenues. The $_ dollars that Sony or Panasonic got for every DVD player through patent licensing has simply been replaced by the $_ that Google gets for every ad impression on YouTube or sale in the Google Play Store. It’s not a philosophical shift, merely a business model shift enabled by Internet video distribution.

There isn't any other reason for these platforms to have any kind of usage whatsoever as of today. The creator of one of those so-called blockchains is a known scammer himself, so I guess it makes it full-circle.
They don't need to do anything, but IMO they should be doing more to enrich the email experience. Have your rock solid standard IMAP implementation, but if you've got a web client and apps for Android and iPhone why not make them better? I'm tired of having an inbox full of emails which I know I can't do anything with now because they are waiting on some other event to take place, I just want to be able to hit a Snooze button and have the email disappear for a few days.

I just coined that word, but you are right that it is polarisation in a sense that it's either too light or too heavy.

However, what I mean by "Averagisation" is that all the content begins to look like the previous one and as the trend is to drift either to the most monetizable or most politically extremist.

I wouldn't call this polarisation because these are not polar opposites. The "nice, advertisers friendly" content is not polar opposite to the extremist content, they co-exist without any conflict. So, the content becomes more from the same, just they are in two categories.

The Case Against an Autonomous Military
As a thought, I've put time and effort into a potential solution for this, for a different (non-CAD) project though.

I could be wrong but your mind wandering off on a tangent while you're reading might be a sign of creativity. Creativity could be when you find relationships between two things that might not have been initially connected in your head. Your mind wandering could be your brain literally making new connections between the new material you're reading and existing material in your brain. Also, I think comparing and contrasting information is a way of learning. I'm basing this from a book I read, A Mind for Numbers, and they have a chapter that explains how the brain works and thus how people learn.
Compare an older snapshot to current for unexpected changes? Though that is difficult (probably not practically possible in the general case) to automate because telling the difference between rare but expected changes and unexpected ones due to corruption could require quite some intelligence/intuition.

No backup+test stratergey can catch everything. You just have to be sure to catch everything that you practically can (and need to factor your time & effort and the importance of the data, into the judgement about that is practical to do and what is justifiable or unavoidable risk).
IMAP can also send other instructions like Delete.

You might want to consider POP3.
I'm working on a bunch of lexer and parser related tools for personal use.

The reason they're cool is that it automates a lot of the tedious, error-prone stuff that I've been doing by hand as I experiment with grammars and the like.

Sure, there are a ton of tools out there to generate lexers and parse tables and such. But using them doesn't help me understand how they were built.

And using them doesn't produce the same sense of accomplishment or, at least for me, /depth/ of understanding.

I try to document the tools as best I can so that fellow students who are interested in such things can learn or make use of them. :)
>I think 1/8 billionth of human effort could be directed to a great local burrito shop.

> Why would a "less tech savvy" person have a gaming PC?

Kids. Adults buy kids new hardware to play latest games, and older stuff that is replaced is good enough for them.

> That's not what a gaming PC is for…

Repurposing old hardware for new uses is what being eco friendly is about.

> i7-960 is the processor from the Mac Pro.

No, it's a processor you would go and buy off shelf (hard to imagine, I know) and use in a decent gaming PC in that time, that happens to also be in a mac pro.

>The "newest Macbook Air" hasn't been substantially updated in around three to four years.

It's for June 2017 model, latest that was on Wikipedia. Is there a newer one which is twice as fast?

I wanted to state that for quite some time people don't actually need better hardware for web browsing or watching movies. This is a response to claim that 2010 PC users with Windows 10 being so rare, and that Mac mini from 2012 still having updates making it something special.
