It's a matter of upbringing and whether you are dominantly a logical/thinking type or an intuitive/feeling type.. if that makes sense. Don't worry about being inferior, there's no better or worse in life, there's just better or worse adapted to a certain situation or task.

You are just 18, still a teenager, don't worry, you'll pick up social interaction soon enough. Also there's no social interaction that is generally _the_ one way to behave. A part of mastering it for you may also be finding _your_ people, with whom you can vibe, so to speak.

Spend some time alone, without Internet and feel inside/observe yourself. Find out what _you_ really want, not what Youtube or society tells you, you should want. This is very, very, very important. Otherwise you may waste a serious amount of time and happiness on trying to force yourself to be something you are not. It's crazy how much energy is spent on that alone on this planet. I bet you if we could capture that energy, we would have colonies on 3 planets in our solar system and warp drive to explore beyond.

Good luck!

My advice would be prioritisation. In decreasing order:
1. Make sure intruders can't misuse your data/resources.
2. Make sure your data doesn't accidentally go missing or get corrupted.
3. Make sure the the resources are sufficiently set up for other people to get their jobs done.

So, with a security background you have the most important of these already. The next most important is handled with backups. Then the rest is less critical.

Next, you need to decide whether the system as it currently stands is basically working but needs little adjustments, or needs redesigning from scratch. Take a few months of observations before you decide this.

Document the issues that you deal with. Make notes on the nature of the problem, the priority, the expected effort required to deal with it, what happened, how much effort it actually took. An issue tracker is a good way to do this, and I'd recommend using one even if it's a small company.
The sockets also go up to 32 amps while being seamlessly backwards compatible with lower amperages (via keying the ground prong). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS/NZS_3112
Here in the states we do not step 240v down to 120v. Typically a home has 240v split-phase service with 240v available L1 to L2 and 120v by using L1 or L2 to neutral. Our circuit breaker panels alternate L1 and L2 bus connections internally so a column of single breakers will alternate between L1 and L2 for balance while a double breaker will get 240v by connecting to both busses. A 240v double breaker has a physical connection between the trip levers so that an overload on either leg will trip both.
This should not only be legal, this should be the law. A manufacturer/vendor should be obliged by law to hand out keys to allow the user to own the device that was bought.
There is some good advice here, so take this as an "in addition to", not an "instead of".

It may be worth checking if you are neurodivergent in some way. A number of people close to me have had mid-life realisations that they are on the ASD and/or ADHD spectrums.

Naturally not everyone that struggles with social skills will be neurodivergent, and vice-versa. But there is some degree of correlation so it may be worth considering.

Oddly, TikTok has been a pretty accurate diagnosis tool. If TikTok shows you a number of very relatable neurodivergent-related videos then that may be a useful starting point. If it just shows you a bunch of dancing people, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I literally just said "if you have just one, you might get lucky". With that, I was trying to prevent exactly these responses - if you run a company with a reasonable amount of employees and any kind of inventory (or those employees work for you in/around your house, where your stuff is the inventory), some of it will disappear.
I've had a plug like that from another manufacturer, and you can get them easily as after-market parts.

It is a shame that the mü range by Made In Mind is dying, I have one of their USB2 models and it is rather convenient to pack. They are a tad expensive compared to others though.
The area around Swiss sockets are more bulky in practice because (a) wires come out at 90 degrees to the wall and (b) adapters and extensions and whatnot are required to plug in wall-warts, which are really common these days, whether it's USB power for various gadgets, cordless vacuum cleaners, video Alexa (not USB-powered), etc.
> that everyone knows how to operate

These machines are almost impossible to operate without a remote. But remotes are not standardised; nor are the UIs the machines present. As a consequence, I become the only person that can efficiently operate my TV. And when I switch TVs, it takes me a month to learn how to drive it. The girlfriend doesn't have a chance.

Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake.

If TVs were cars, each brand of car would have different arrangements of controls; some would have a joystick for steering, some would have manual accelerator lever like a boat, some would have a horn operated by a foot-pedal, and they'd all have completely different gearstick locations for the different gears.

I need three different remotes to operate my TV: one for the TV, which I use only for switching inputs; one for the Sky STB; and one for my audio amplifier. I need all three to set up a viewing session. This is nuts, not least because none of these remotes is specific to the device they're paired with; each of these remotes has non-functional controls that are obviously meant for some other model, because they have no function or meaning with my model.

Disused remotes pile up in drifts in a cardboard box in my spare room.

Maybe in some distant future, the industry will come up with a standard for remote controls and user-interfaces, such that once you know one, you know them all, and so that any remote can be used to control any A/V device. This would drastically reduce the number of prefectly-good remote controls that end up in landfill.
Compared to UK plugs, the Australian pins are very thin and the earth pin is optional. This makes it easy to insert a plug at a slightly wrong angle and make electrical contact without the socket gripping the plug at all.

Also the pins can get bent out of alignment fairly easily, which almost never happens with UK plugs.
> Also doesn't help that many councils seem to think that shared bus/bicycle lanes are bicycle infrastructure.

There's a big lesson here about Publish or Perish. Science today is extremely difficult because you can't do science while having to be productive as quickly as possible. It's like asking an artist to sit at their desk from 9 to 5 every day and produce at least 5 Great Works of Art per year.
Is God a Taoist? (1977)
True human connection is an special event. Most of your life, you need to be able to go about your day, while everybody else is also going about their days. Most people are not interested in a two sided connection with you specifically - they have other people that they are already spending energy and effort in connecting.

Superficial connections are the bread and butter of socialization.
As your first move I'd suggest start pushing managment for a new hire. Four locations and only one person managing them? That doesn't sound feasible in the long run and it's definitely not fair to you.
Yup. Great free service. Also this practically would only disrupt new registrations as there is more than enough time window for renewals anyway.
Because type system unsoundness leads to real bugs when people (quite reasonably) make assumptions based on the belief that it is sound. I think on the whole TypeScript does an OK job (considering that most languages have unsound type systems too, including Java) because it’s certainly better than nothing but it’s still something to watch out for.
What a great opportunity to learn on the job!
Here are my few tips:

I used it with Windows 2000 and Linux.

Interesting, a lot to ponder on with regards to "The Divided Brain".

The diffused mode could be the broad diffuse attention while focus mode is the the narrowly focused attention. It seems like there is specialized parts in the brain for attention with one hemisphere for narrow and the other for broad. But I think that this is just one theory and it could also be the case that these two modes are more evenly distributed throughout the brain.
I've backed up a load of photos (mostly raw, 5 discs so far) onto 100GB M-discs. They seemed like a good choice for long term archival storage - they don't need to be kept in ideal conditions - humidity isn't supposed to be a problem, and leaving them out in the sun is apparently fine! Plus drives for reading them are cheap and readily available.

The discs themselves are quite expensive in terms of cost/TB - somewhere around 50-60 GBP from what I've found.

I have more confidence in their ability to not lose data if left on a shelf and forgotten about for several years compared to hard drives. I have the same data stored on a ZFS pool too.

I think the thing about social skills is that a lot of it is about unlearning, rather than learning.

Let's say you're chatting with someone you don't know, one to one. You feel like you don't know what to say, so you try and think of something and move the conversation in a new direction; maybe you read a little bit online about social interactions and try to use that in your conversation, but it feels like it falls flat.

My experience is that this is because each social interaction you're having is a call for you to become more aware of yourself. At the point when you felt like you didn't know what to say, maybe you were filled with anxiety or shame, maybe you felt humiliated that everyone else seems to know these rules for social interactions that you don't. Maybe you felt uncomfortable about the other person's body language.

So, rather than trying to learn basic social skills, you need to learn more self awareness, which will eventually lead to unlearning the anxiety or shame or whatever else came up during the interaction. This will give more space for you to be present with the other person, and you can look for a sort of flow to the conversation. Next time maybe you just leave space for a couple of seconds and they continue the conversation, or something fun pops it your head spontaneously. It's not about trying to find the rules that exist that everyone else knows, it's about trying to find the you that exists underneath your anxieties and pain and other difficult feelings that you haven't yet delved into or fully experienced.

I think generally being blocked up in social interactions is due to unresolved experiences earlier in your life, and I found that psychotherapy helped me a lot with this, and also meditation and yoga. Also, some social interactions are a lot more complex than others, for example more people may mean more complex (although some people may find group situations easier).
Normally I would defer to your superior knowledge, but sadly I have done some amount of relevant university-level study of this subject with teachers that were experts in the field. They have always maintained that theories about how sapience develops and exists are just that: Theories. There is no solid proof of anything.

Since your response leans on "seems" and then deflecting to saying that the opposite of your claim should be proven (even though both are equally unknowable), I'm going to assume you don't have solid evidence one way or the other about it either.
Well, what it does is reinforce the idea that privacy is a luxury. You can get it ( to an extent ), if you pay enough.

The idea of there being unwritten rules or, how I usually phrase it, "I didn't get the memo" is one of the symptoms of being on the autism spectrum, as is more of an affinity with tech than people.

And that's absolutely fine. Don't try and play their game, just be in the moment and let things wash over you. Accept you don't understand people, they aren't a thing to figure out and pick apart.

Trying to min/max human interaction is more for sales, marketing and management people, and those come across as absolute psychopaths. And I'm confident you see right through their schtick, because you are more observant than a lot of people - whether you realize it or not.

But yeah. Read up on things like introversion and autism to help you with personal acceptance, this will reduce the anxiety you may feel when interacting with other people because you understand yourself - and by extension, others - better.

As for basic communication skills, there's plenty of guides out there but it'll be things like "Listen instead of waiting for your turn to speak" (and realize there may be others who are waiting for their turn to speak without being as aware of it).

There's no panacea or This One Trick though. Social skills are a much broader, more complicated, and informal area of expertise than ML or other 'hard' skills are.
Think about other people, their possible motivations and needs instead of about yourself.

They are not in your situation and so have different priorities and views but they are still human. The more you anticipate their needs and avoid overburdening them with yours the more skilled you'll become.

> A year of haphazardly watching YouTube videos and reading papers and I learned enough to start contributing to real research. But 18 years of human interaction and I'm still missing out on social skills apparently. It's like everyone else has a degree in all these unwritten rules that I'm just supposed to know

Did you watched youtube videos about manners and interpersonal communication? Or read books or advice columns or reddit subs about the same thing? You did not learned machine learning through pure osmosis and watching the machine calculate. You read papers and theory.

Some social skills are easy to pick up by observing, if you have talent. But others have to be actively learned.
It is bordering on racist to suggest that because things are US produced they will be Quality over Quantity. What you actually need to win is Quality and Quantity. The same arrogance the US manufactures had about Japan and got their as kicked.

At seems like you have some delusional fantasy that the world could run on locally made artisanal goods and that those goods then magically have more 'soul' (whatever that is) and would be better for the environment. And even if that was the case, these products would still depend on international supply chain.

Its equally false to suggest that everything outside of the US is made in sweatshops. China doesn't dominate because of sweatshops, but because going down stream, mining, refining. These are complex operations, requiring lots of educated engineering, capital and vision. Look at a company like CATL that is powering much of the worlds EVs. This is a company that exploded in growth in a highly complex industry.

> Paying more for something better?

So like car from Japan, Europe and soon China?

Where are you getting those high quality electronics, batteries, refined rare earths and so on? Please tell me the US companies who produce all these amazing things that are so much better then those from the international competition

> It wasn’t long ago at all that we were making most of the stuff we bought.

Who is 'we'? The US? Your family? Are you advocating to go back to per modernism where every woman was doing 40h of weaving for the family to have cloth?

The US never produced everything it needed. In modern history international supply chains are a thing.

And this was most true after the US literally bombed the shit out of Europe and Japan. And China was destroyed by Japan. Soviets and China turned communist. Maybe do that again and you can again do that? Even then it was the US and the British empire.

> Call out every company you see that doesn’t make their products in the USA and ask when they’re going to stop selling out their own neighbors just for a buck.

You can't fix problem by calling people out. If you force companies to make 'everything local' then they will simply no longer be internationally competitive.

If you seriously think to just cut of the US from the rest of the world would lead to a higher standard of living you are sorely mistaken.

Your level of understanding of the connection between international trade and living standards seems to be totally lacking. Your suggestion to just 'guilt' (or assuming with fines or whatever) every company into buying all local is a surefire way to completely destroy the economy and the competitiveness of the US.

And its simply anti-democratic. People might be willing to pay 1% more if something is marketed as locally produced. But most of the time people don't actually care. And they never cared. People care about themselves and their families and their standard of live. If Japan makes better cars, they will not simply buy American because its made in Detroit. The same goes for everything else.

If you want to improve standards of living, just cutting yourself of from international trade is literally the worst thing to do.
Few ideas:

- for some reason after teenagehood, nobody wants to talk about things explicitely. Whatever you really feel, gets under the rug and you fake your way through the day

- ironically, it seems that we are very much exactly the same (need for recognition, acceptance, fear, desire for a space to express your self, low judgement, need to feel valueable.. which is probably a mirror of a fear to be lonely.. having a role secures your position in the social tissue)

- people aren't books or things, you cannot run experiment on them until you understand.. everything is variable and coupled (quite the opposite of scientific experiments :)

somehow my social skill theory is: people are kids, they don't know what to do and will overreact under emotional stress.. If you read the situation like this and realize that most only wanted a cool day and no problems in the first place you may be able to interface with them in better ways.
> Why do adults cycle so slowly there though? 12km/h is a moderate running pace.

A couple of reasons. One is that it's a nice pace for getting to where you want to go without being all sweaty when you get there. Another is that the bikes are built for practicality, not performance. As such, they're cheap (so when they get stolen, it's annoying but not the end of the world), they often are single speed with coaster brakes (less to go wrong), heavy (so built solid), and comfortable (mine is like riding a couch.) You're also often biking with a swarm of other people and so just keeping the common pace is nicer.

I find that my average Amsterdam speed is about 15kph, and that's probably slightly above average, based on anecdotally passing more people than pass me.

If you're cruising on a non-electric bike at 30-35kph you're probably a lot fitter than is typical, or showing up a bit sweaty and worn out. On my 3-speed Gazelle that is very heavy but can also carry two people and a case or two of beer (though I did find the limit of that, so long as combined we're under about 170kg or so it's OK), I really only use the 3rd gear to do a fast burst probably up to 20-25kph in "oh no the ferry leaves in 3 minutes but it's normally a 5 minute ride" situations. But I feel it when I get there.
