quoting Eric Blair, the British govt. propagandist married to a govt. censor is a bit cringe though

If the power went off tomorrow -- and stayed off for a year -- is there still credibility in what you do?

Yes. I'm a data scientist, so I would have to get out the pencil and paper and calculate by hand. Although at my rank, I would be managing human calculators to do it for me

Stress calculations for the Vickers R101 airship took 3 months, by hand.

You'd be handing out hand-printed flyers saying pencils are the instruments of the big govt. sent to chain us all to our desks.

Even software engineers by hand have no produced any thing relevant in years

You clearly know absolutely nothing. Relevant to what?

You have no idea what I do, although I have told you before, yet you assert it is of no value.

I get paid very handsomely by my employer for the results.

My problem solving pipeline goes quicker every day.

I have an idea while walking the dog, write up the spec, and a couple of hours later it's running code - all while making dinner and spending time with the family.

I'm using it but I'm not staring at it. It is both personally liberating and a force multiplier.

"happiness and pleasure are your goals"

  1. video your child's first steps
    or
  2. share the moment with your child

my dad spent hours with his video camera on our holidays. no-one has ever watched the tapes

the amount deaths and damage is a spurious metric too

population is bigger and has encroached on more fire prone brushland and coasts where the damage happens

I think you're probably right. Sentiment analysis will classify negativity. I'd even go so far as "Not posting any positive stoires at all" would do so.

Discord requests govt. ID if it thinks you are under 18.

Everyone who complied just photos of their ID leaked.

A thing everyone predicted would happen.

It's fairly obvious but I'm not forced to use my Tesco Clubcard to log into Twitter.

And my Digital ID won't give me cheaper food or let me scan my own trolley, swipe my card and walk out.

I'm from the time before computers and, obviously, before the internet.

I was part of the BBS world, phone a guy's phone number and browse his site - the true wild west.

Probably The Dark Web is the equivalent now. Eventually freedom always squeezes our between the fingers of the tyrant.

He explains how they try to control prices. Do you trust a rabbi's word now?

Anyway, Maximizing Revenue is not orthogonal to buyers controlling prices.

They claim inflation but that is only part of the story.

The Rate of Inflation is a measure of the rate of change, not a cause. It is not a force. So already you seem to have misunderstood the topic.

Prices of goods are set by the buyer. People either buy them if they consider them sufficient value or not. Even for goods forced on them such as vehicle insurance, some people opt to take the risk. If it is utilities they work out straegies to reduce consumption.

You wouldn't dare say "you have poor impulsive control and rush to violence as your only solution" to his face.
