I'm in exactly your boat, also interested in an answer. I'm amazed how far I've gotten with a fuzzy understanding of both fundamentals and details, and trial and error. But I'm not a muddle-through engineer anywhere else

No, we should precisely look to let kids "down easy" from their errors, rather than ban activities that can lead to those errors, for the very same ends that you're advocating. When too many possible mistakes have big irrever

Yes, you're absolutely right. I guess what I should have said is that those things are parts of the American mythology, and I would really like the country to start living up to them.

A modern wealthy society that allows a bad-but-understandable move by a 16 year old girl to basically wreck her entire life, is a cruel society. Also don't overlook that America is also supposed to be a country of redemption and second

The capacity for self-education is not innate for most people. Developing this capacity requires dedication, the ability to delay gratification, significant emotional regulation, and most importantly it requires knowing how to learn. For op

After Theranos and Magic Leap I've really downgraded the degree to which "huge investments from big incumbents" can be considered a reliable signal for quality.

For a long time in many places, living in grinding poverty was and is "normal" and "natural" for most people. Living with all sorts of insecurity - food, physical safety, shelter - all normal. Evolution only selected for

I use WSL with ConEmu professionally. ConEmu has all the usual terminal bells and whistles. Overrall it works pretty well, I'm rarely reminded that this isn't Linux or a Mac (as long as I'm just looking at the terminal). I st

This immigrant didn't hear that overtone. What I heard instead was the chagrin of recognition. It's not only a lack of influential grandparents, but also the attenuation of communal bonds and instincts that comes with being poor,

"Survival values" is just right, and key. I've lived this divide (1st gen Russian), and as a teenager could not comprehend why my parents constantly pressured me to study physics and maths, which did not come naturally to me,

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I'm not sure I agree with you about ownership, but it's a point worth considering, as are your other points. Also, I like the idea that it's not services themselves that ar

I'm curious about what a respectful and user-controlled smart household appliance looks like and how it's built. Thanks for pointing out that there is a non-BS vision of IOT, hard to remember that sometimes.

I would add: we as a society need to start thinking about how to halt the service-ization of everything. The smartphone is a general purpose handheld computer that's been captured and turned into a rent-extraction device by being re-co

50% at 3.1GHZ would make for one noisy experience here. Either mine's a lemon, or, more likely, there's no way to get a CPU like the i7-8550U into such a small case without causing thermal issues.
