I get that, too. I struggle to even play "Over the Rainbow". Moving the hands, coordinating the hands is still a big brain fuck in week 1. But, I'm not sure how much a teacher would help me at this stage. I think I just have to practice more, recall which key plays which note, and nail down the individual parts. A teacher might be more valuable later down the line when I somewhat know what I'm doing and correct my path.

Search for another job offer in a place you fancy, then talk to your manager about it.

I've said this in many similar threads but programmers/SWE are among the most privileged workers in the world economy and the grass is NOT greener on the other side. SWEs make enough money they can retire in half the time as the average worker if they so desire, so I'd stick it out and focus on other things in life outside of work for fulfillment.

For a start, if you're monitoring your whole house, getting to zero load while keeping the sensor powered on is not trivial :)

For another, in my experience a lot of current sensing options are just a bit.... suspicious on the accuracy front. I've had resistive sensors tell me 1W is flowing through a plug with nothing plugged into it. Turning off a resistive load but the measurement slowing falling back to zero over several seconds, instead of dropping immediately. Solar monitoring current clamps that claimed zero current when the power company's meter said we were exporting 20W. Fancy £800 fluke clamp meters tell me 2A is flowing when there isn't even a cable in the clamp. Clamp ferrites getting broken in transit and producing bad results. Installers putting the CT clamp the wrong way. Installers installing the power meter the wrong way around, because the installation instructions assume you want to meter import not export.....

Current sensing is surprisingly hard to get right :)

> Strictly speaking you don't even know whether space and time are not indefinitely divisible in our universe, there are good reasons to think so, but it is - as far as I know - not a certainty. There are even good reasons to think that space does not exist in the same sense as temperature does not fundamentally exist and is something emerging from something more fundamental.

Yes, I agree, our knowledge is imperfect and the truth may be different.

> But whether or not our space and time are indefinitely divisible, just denying this assumption seems like the cheap way out for me, sidestepping the more fundamental issue that applies even if space and time are indefinitely divisible.

Here we disagree. I think the whole point of the exercise from Zeno's point-of-view is to make you question your assumptions.

> So let me offer you a different view that does not hinge on the divisibility of space and time.

I didn't find your resolution very satisfying - it seemed to boil down to "motion is clearly possible by demonstration" and "you can't make an infinite list". Both of these things are part of Zeno's argument (the second in a different form).

> And again, just walking to the goal will include any task that Xeno would ever have asked you to do

When you get down to the quantum scale, is this still true? Does it even make sense to talk about a human moving a very small fraction of the width of an atom?

> The list does not even have to be limited to countably many tasks as in the original paradox, it could contain uncountable many times, say the entire time between 11:11 and 11:12.

Would it surprise you to learn that I think the universe is at most countable, if not finite?

I wanted to say that the human still commands the genertor to make a form of art using prompt. But then I've got a shivering feeling that someone might connect generator (of prompts) to another generator to another... and then close the loop.

Anyway, I've always said (and keep saying) that art is what (visibly) distinguishes humans from animals. And machines.

this isn’t just IAB, this was noted as standard behavior for large data brokers by a privacy researcher [1] years ago

Email and phone number matching is part of their core service offered by Oracle’s Bluekai, one the largest data-broker platforms in the world [2]. They have most large global companies using their platform.

> You can convert users' email addresses and phone numbers to SHA-256 hashed IDs called oHashes and send them to the platform. They will be synchronized with the network of user profiles that are linked together in the Oracle ID Graph, which is used to manage IDs and user attributes for all Oracle Data Cloud platform customers.

> This synchronization optimizes the targeting and communication of your users across desktop and mobile devices and media execution platforms. oHashes enable you to increase your offline to online match rates, connect your Responsys platform to the Oracle Data Cloud platform, and execute cross-device targeting.

…

> the [normalization / oHash] function enforces UTF-8 character encoding, lowercases all characters in the email address, verifies that it has the “@” symbol, and removes all special characters, punctuation, and spaces.

…

Both Google and FaceBook also expect clients to send phone + email (hashed) to build retargeting lists from customer data. They each have a different name for the feature [3]

For a home release, I get it... and at the same time, I don't.

I'd like to quote the philosopher George Santayana, who I don't agree with that much but certainly agree with on this quote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

If we, to use the expression, whitewash all that happened in the past... we'll forget how terrible a place it used to be. So, I would agree that Tom and Jerry cartoons might not belong in a home audience - but that doesn't mean Warner should be incapable of, saying, releasing a true "for collectors" limited-release version of all the unedited shorts with a warning ahead of time.

I don't understand your reply. I didn't say that people growing up in different times would act the same or that people with identical genes would act the same. I'm arguing that different people will act differently in the same circumstances. If you want to establish that OP is absolutely correct, you need to show that people with different inclinations and abilities act the same way as each other when in identical circumstances. This seems self-evidently incorrect to me. People have varying amounts and types of mental faculties and so make different choices, even when presented with the same situations.

Yep. The current mode of operation to simply trim the output of solar and wind in case of oversupply is an utter waste when the power could be used in power-to-gas plants.
I wonder if there is a way to poison the system. E.g., flood it with accounts that look very attractive to bidders so they pay a lot for adverts that never pay anything.

I'm fine with context-based adverts based on and next to the content I'm reading, and have actually found some good products & services that way. But the tracking is not ok in any form (and from what I've read, basically doesn't work and is also defrauding the advertisers), so anything to destroy that model would be a net benefit to society.

Early in my career I used to turn off all job search functions when I was working a job. Didn't take calls from recruiters, LinkedIn was set private, etc.

In the last decade I leave it all running and continuously stay in semi-passive job search mode. My LI is wide open. Recruiter wants to send me a job description? Sure, I'll read it. I've gotten a few decent raises that way without really trying.

TLDR: you should always be prepared for a layoff or rapid job change. Don't wait until you're being handed your papers.
You can't really compare books and cartoons because of the big difference in how they are consumed, especially by kids.

Kids seek out cartoons and will happily watch them for hours. A problem parents often face is getting their kids to stop consuming so much video entertainment that the kid doesn't want to do things like go outside or exercise.

Most kids on the other hand have no interest in books like "Tom Sawyer" and are only going to read them when they get assigned in school. There the books will be accompanied by lectures and class discussions that put them in historical context.

There's an important distinction here between the concepts of "wanting to" and "knowing how to" and how they impact someone's decision to attempt something. For example, your car may break down and you may ultimately decide to have it towed to a garage and repaired by a mechanic even though you may very badly "want to" repair it yourself. You make that decision because you understand that you do not "know how to" fix it yourself. The outcome of that scenario can be very different based on the degree to which you want to or know how to approach it.

Similarly, someone who decides to avoid a one on one interaction with someone may very badly want to make a connection with someone else but they decide not to because they don't know how to appropriately handle such a situation. This may not be entirely anxiety driven since many people will have repeatedly attempted one on one connections and failed badly, leading them to believe perhaps rightly that they don't know how to and so they must lean on some other device such as socializing only in group settings where they can build off of others' social skills.

I'm not saying it's impossible for anyone to learn how to successfully connect one on one with others, I'm just asking that you not assume that everyone has the same learned skills and knowledge that you do.

>The bigger issue I see is the desire to link everything to a phone number.

Yep, I've had my youtube account since before Google bought youtube in 2006. Just this week I noticed that I am no longer able to put URLs in the descriptions of videos I upload to youtube. I have to "verify" by giving them my phone number before any clickable URLs are allowed in descriptions. But apparently all URLs are clickable URLs. Additionally, even videos I uploaded in 2008, if I go to edit their descriptions now and I originally included a URL, I cannot submit it.

Phone number "verification" is nasty. I suppose this is the end of my almost 2 decades of using youtube to host videos.

As for email spam prevention, I've run my own mailserver with a domain since 2011. I give each service an actual unique email address and then just catch-all emails sent to my domain. It works great.
I wish the first priority for the project would be to make it easy to integrate into other applications, instead of building a full fledged browser. To break the monopoly of WebKit/Blink browsers we need a competing rendering engine that is being developed outside the Google/Alphabet umbrella.

Because you're arguing "too many" without being able to define "enough." The fact that the number is big doesn't mean anything here. Is 100 billion too many stars in the galaxy?

> humanity itself is better off with less humans living at the same time?

Humanity isn't an entity, but each of those humans is. Every single one of them a life as rich and complex and deserving as your own. What path are you suggesting for reducing that number, destroying some of that complexity and richness? This cannot be responsibly debated in the abstract; any concrete policy will result in constraining the self-determination of many of those people. How would you have it done?

You're misunderstanding the decision at the time. It wasn't a case of "more research needed for decision" but rather "decision needed before more research".

There isn't really any data showing a clear net negative outcome for any age group. And even if there had been some doubt, the overall picture, was and is that vaccinating everyone is saving lives and it had to be done as quickly as possible. Waiting for more data would have cost more lives. And the results show that decision was correct.

Should nuclear be shut down? Between sustainability and political solutions
> There’s No Planet B

The mere need to state this suggests we are facing a serious problem internalizing our condition. We are not taking seriously the implications of human choices and actions when multiplied by billions.

The sustainability of our living on Earth was not even a visible problem 300 years ago [0]. It is far more of a problem now and could become a terminal problem 300 years from now.

300 years is nothing in the scheme of things. We should be scared. Not in a superficial, panicky way, but in a deep, culture-changing way. Obviously the problem does not yet hit the present generations severely enough (hence the luxury of idle talk). But it will certainly hit the ones following in the near future.

I appreciate the frustration and I am right there with you as a user.

However, it is actually hard (and costly) to manufacture and quality control physical switches that will survive the life time of a warranty + a few years (in terms of mechanical failure, dirt, corrosion, water ingress, etc.). Once you appreciate this then it is pretty easy to see how the design choices of using capacitive interfaces are a no brainer for consumer electronics and appliances.

On top of it you have the marketing push of capacitive interfaces = modern.

It's about exploring new social contracts. Here on Earth we are stuck with whatever social arrangements we've developed over the millennia, we can tweak here and there, but we can't start with a blank slate.

Profit-wise, that's probably right (especially if people are listening on $5 plastic mechanisms crammed into a $99 decorative suitcase), but I'm now pretty careful to check the reviews on Discogs before I pick up a new pressing.

It doesn't cost all that much more to make sure the pressing sounds good when played on good equipment.
