Summit

Generally, anything from 3 times a day to once every 3 days is considered the range of normal.

Sure but that doesn’t change the lack of competition. For my address, I have two non wireless providers, and one of them is copper only and capped at 50 down. So not a lot of choice if an ISP is screwing you.

Ah yes, I will just go to another ISP. Wait, there’s only one.

What’s challenging about paywalls and not wanting to spend money is not necessarily not wanting to spend, but convenience and cost. If it costs me 10 cents for each blog or tutorial or github page I look at while working on a project, or 1 cent for every funny video, that adds up. And do I have to put my credit card in for every site? Hope that every site has good enough security to prevent payment information leaks?

And I don’t think anyone is interested in a Netflix-style internet that fractures into 6 different subscriptions to get every site you need on the web.

Yeah, but I really don’t want my computer to look like my phone. And I hate that they keep moving toward that and “app-ifying” computers (specifically windows).

But then how can I maintain a lurking status?

It doesn’t help that plenty of places still follow old IT guidelines that are bad, so they all get lumped together. E.g. change password every 45 days, can’t BT the last 10, must have 4 characters different, and we don’t have a password manager.

I’ve just started using Summit and they show accounts less than 30 days old. Really slick ui too.

I’ve used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.

It absolutely does. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ there is a KFX input plugin. Also, if using an older version of kindle for PC you can batch download your whole library and import to Calibre.

It’s balanced by light switches being outside of the bathroom, which I absolutely hate.

Sports is a big one that comes to mind. Or competition shows people want to live vote for.

Beyond my normal use case, I still think there are some Internet things that are “big screen” tasks. Too many websites still have poorly optimized mobile interferfaces.

Yeah, obviously it’s not the point, but I would love a ban on car data collection instead.

I agree that’s how math works, but by reporting a negative percentage with it colored red is misleading at best. Perhaps a better metric would be +/- |(percent change)| where + indicates profit growth and and - indicates profit reduction?

How is -0.5B -> 2.33B a -564% change?

Not always

Ships absolutely practice turning everything off.

Ah, I think I misunderstood the conversation, then. I apologize for that. I was considering quantum sensors and other quantum computer adjacent technologies, I suppose. Not just the classic idea of a quantum computer/showing quantum supremacy.

I appreciate the conversation, but it does seem like you’re dismissing everything to fit with your narrative. Quantum computing is absolutely a new and emerging field, I was just trying to showcase that it’s farther than 21 divided by 7. From wikipedia, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetocardiography, MCGs are pretty much by definition a quantum sensor. The technical aspects of the paper linked goes in to how their device is different and why it does not require cryogenic cooling.
