This is why I have protonmail aliases, a burner second phone, and an x1 virtual cc. While I can't stop the enshittification, I can fight back by remaining pseudo anonymous and compartmentalize each service.
What you described is aliasing, not compartmentalization. To effectively compartmentalize requires a different email, phone, and CC for every service. By only having one alias of each, the ad networks that are sharing information about you with partners have no obstacles tying together your habits when they see the same proton email, etc across several vendors, even if you have a different name on your alternate products. After these have been matched enough times, there enough of a profile on you to effectively know who you are, even if it is just probable instead of proven.
You mention proton, which allows several emails on a paid account, and there are several competitors offering a similar service with varying success, so this should be no problem to implement. There are also companies that offer anonymous CCs, although they are slowly not working. Privacy and Ironvest are two that used to work but I'm not sure if they still do. I'd be interested if you know of CC companies that still work most of the time at vendors. Regarding phones, there are several sources for this as well, depending on whether you want long term or just one time use numbers, but these likewise have been failing as security measures increase.
I've done several of these. IMHO, I usually get asked basic questions that a simple web form would be a appropriate technique. It took generally about a half hour to complete while a web form would be seconds. I think it's the wrong tool for the job.
I think you're onto something. Replace "developers" with "doctors" I that statement and you've described healthcare in the mid 1900s. Replace with "masons" and we describe the medieval times. There is always a specialized class
I'm going to date myself here. In 199x, we had a 286 and loved a game called "Command HQ" that had lovely gameplay and sound to boot! Then we got the ol' Packard bell 486 with a sound blaster. We played the same game (which had midi output too) for the first time and my father and I cried -- it was unbelievable.
That's when I first became enamoured with the "art of the possible" and this has driven my career.
I fully believe that doom could have had pc speaker sound; after all w3d did!
Background: 25 years of tech. If there's a job done in or around IT, I've done it and done it well. I started with dumb terminal migrations and build world-class databases today. As I like to say, I know the whole data stack from "Silicon to SQL". Lately, I've specialized in building amazing engineers. If you need an amazing team of engineers (think NASA or SpaceX) over a team of amazing engineers (think Justice League or Avengers), then I am the leader you need!
It would look something like this[1] except with slower visual propagation.
Note that this camera (like any camera) cannot observe photons as they pass through the slits -- it can only record photons once they've bounced off the main path. Thus you will never record the interference-causing photons mid-flight, and you'll get a standard interference pattern.
AlphaPhoenix mentions in the description that he wants to try and image an interference pattern, and it seems possible.
Though it wouldn't really be showing you the quantum effect; that's only proven with individual photons at a time. This technique sends a "big" pulse of light relying on some of it being diffusely reflected to the camera at each oscilloscope timestep.
Truly sending individual photons and measuring them is likely impractical as you'd have to wait for a huge time collecting data for each pixel, just hoping the photons happens to bounce directly into the photomultiplier tube.
Dumb question, and I might not understand the difference. Don't we already have synthetic gasoline in the form of trufuel and the ilk? I can buy that at walmart; expensive, sure, but is indoor-safe and lasts forever. Smells good when it burns as a bonus!
No. Trufuel is fossil fuel derived. It's just distilled and mixed to a much tighter tolerance than typical gasoline. Synthetic gasoline is derived from atmospheric CO2 and water, effectively reversing combustion via the Fischer-Tropsch process or Methanol-to-Gasoline.
