Yes, I know thank you, with "entire GDPR" I meant banner only, as upper comment was about cookies and banner... but it came out wrong.

I agree. I have seen so many consents where by default everything is on, there is no turn off all button. And when you go to partners list there is long list of 600 companies. But what grinds my gear the most is "Legitimate interest" ?! which somehow overrides your prior consent do not track me...

That is all nice and rosy but it practically simply does not work... I am just stating obvious from what I see on daily bases.

There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can’t.

The entire GDPR is utter nonsense. At the end providers are using different tricks so user give up and just say "ok + next", as going through list of partners and clicking on each of them is just crazy.

I just hope that at some point someone will calculate amount of time lost by clicking on these banners.

edit: Don't get me wrong idea behind is important, but practical implementation is just terrible. Either enforce it, exercise it or upgrade law to forbid any hint of user tracking, in the way it is implemented right now is just wasting people time and nerves.

I personally, and I hope many other users would benefit from having more data and less words. I would prefer to have my personal and company Tax page more as dashboard with alerts and notification for important approaching dates, than what exist now. I would like simple lists/tables with numbers own and amounts paid. Currently, you will see final numbers but finding out history will take you on journey of clicking on multiple links. There is too many links, and searching for simple transaction history sometimes was quite challenging.

There is on other thing I find illogical on HMRC site, why do we need to register for each service online, waiting of some secret code? There is already username/password, and also SMS verification, also GOV knows what type of company/personal taxes we are registered for, why do we need to register separately for each service?

Sorry, you have not understood, aphantasia is my daily state, explained event was one off. Thanks for Hypnagogia.

I was trying to say, that I would like to know how to induce that state somehow, so I could "fix" aphantasia.

I had those dreams from time to time, it looks equally disturbing like those AI memory images: https://imgur.com/ocplHAy

Sometimes it is very fast morphing shape of objects and events, morphing into other shapes and events ...

But what is most disturbing is that during the dream everything looks logical and known, it is feeling like tapping to some higher source of knowledge, but as soon as I wake up, it seems my brain shrank to regular size and cannot read from the same book, so "symbols"/"letters"/"words"/"sentences" which were understandable there I cannot read anymore. Forgive my lack of words, it is like in those movies where protagonist gets turn to a cat or dog, so he at that point his cat/dog brain cannot understand humans and human talking/thinking anymore...

Annoying part is that, attempting to explain people how does it feel and look like sounds worse than when teen boy trying to talk to a girl he has crush into...

I also cannot recollect visual things in mind eye. It is strange to explain but I am good with inventing things and imagining complex things but I cannot see anything in mind eye. It is not visual it is more as abstract "shape", shape is not good word as it is visual, in my case try to imagine shape more as intuition or feeling. I do not know how to explain.

I was kind of annoyed by this finding that I started trying different ways to imagine objects. Few months ago interesting thing happen, I woke up really early and stayed up after 2am, when I got in bad, I was in state that I passed state of sleepy, so my mind was fully conscious, (state you can choose do you want to get up or not at any time), and then stream of images appeared from single point, that point grew and like accessing some optic cable hole, and it was vivid very vivid like reality. It lasted just a few 10 - 30 sec before I was knocked of and started sleeping.

It look like my left side of brain (logic) was so tired that handed over everything to right side (pictures colors) additionally leaving spectator (chartering voice) awake for little while. I am no medical person just interpreting subjective experience so do not take any of this as fact. I just remember that at at that point that I had feeling that Logical side of brain imposed some kind of dictatorship on imaginative side of brain, because of job or past experiences. That time logical brain was too tired after more than 20hrs of coding and thinking so it seems went away for a sleep fraction of time earlier than the imaginative side. :)

There you go, an idea for business :) - an "mutual" account that will crawl pages on those sites - then share them without login

I am to sleepy and this idea is stupid as hell ...

I do not drink coffee, only bitter taste I can cope is beer :D

Without reading, I remember few years ago when every other weeks in major media I was reading Coffee good for your health, Coffee bad for your health depending what party was sponsoring study or article...

How about just wearing a mask ?!

Are you planing any commercialization? maybe Steam?

The team were they on paid or volunteering bases?

It is so beautifully made, how many artists worked on this, how big is the team? What kind of tools have you used?

Similar explained in the movie "Brain on Fire" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_on_Fire_(film)

not = now Sorry...

Well I get your train of thought but we had one othery type of steel for quite long:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_C._Gillette#/media/File:G...

But it is fair point I am not interested to find more what kind of steel do they use for those sharpeners.

This reminds me to The X-files quote/theme/leitmotif "I want to believe".

I am prone to think that this again some kind of gov mass psychology Rorschach experiment, where they say if we show you this image and if we say it is flying bunny how many times do we need to show and repeat the same until you start believing it is a flying bunny ...

By the way I am not saying other sentient being do not exist in the universe, I am just saying that with that technology you would not give a fork about what humans want/need/wish ... therefore it is more likely it is some kind of political hocus/pocus

I beg to differ:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_swordsmithing

And: The PVA adhesive was invented in the early 1950s (Elmer's glue). Since then it has been improved and now we have the yellow glues (Carpenter's Glue, Titebond, etc.) and even now the cross-linking PVAs (Titebond II).

so 7 decades...

While the modern pencil was invented in 1795 by Nicholas-Jacques Conte.

Lets just open some wine and see if we can get back into it...

:)))

I think wood glue is most harmless type [1], and you do not need as much as it shown in video for the presentation purposes.

On the other hand, maybe friendly (non-glue) version would be with the contra-screw or clicking mechanism at the end. But it would be very hard to maintain lock while you cut the pencil/s pass the joint.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_glue "It is chemically similar to edible gelatin and is non-toxic if ingested."

But on the other hand you have different types: https://impressionsofaholobiont.com/2018/09/03/non-toxic-wat...

This is an idea so simple that just stumps me in awe. For entire life I was looking pencils being thrown as they are short to write with. Simple amazing.

I like ideas as such, where someone rediscovers long standing problem everyone forgot or they are not noticing anymore as a problem, and then they make potentially very successful product.

It raises a question is what else is lurking there deeply frozen?

I just wish I have read this 12 years ago... gold for Paul.

I'm saying that more people suffering from other type of mining does not justify more lithium mining just because it is polluting less in comparison to another long establish industries.

Instead it should concentrate people thinking power to solve those other issues in mining industry of metals as gold, copper, lead, nickel, iron, cadmium...

Also going outside and seeing that it is beautiful kind of sounds as ostrich way of dealing with problems buy turning on the blind eye concentrating to things in local vicinity, convincing yourself that all is good and we should move on.

That looks like a fallacy reasoning. In the same way if we would compare any harm that is happening on our planet to let say: Solar system, galaxy or universe, combined with age of a star, so it would be negligible and therefore justifiable?

Collateral damage is justifiable unless you are not that damage isn't it?

Better reasoning could begin with the question: would I leave my comfortable home, go there, and live there in community where water is contaminated by lithium mining sludge. Would I drink that water every day? Is there anyone who is suffering so I could enjoy comfortable life?

This is amazing development taking in consideration how devastating classic lithium mining can be for surrounding nature. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-batteries-environmen...

At the same time by this method lithium it can become available almost for all countries on the planet (minus 45 that do not have sea).

In a way this is strange question, and topic, how to decide what is and what is not relative to determine what is bullshit job.

Yesterday something else interesting happen, "Yana Sizikova: Russian tennis player arrested at French Open over match-fixing allegations", what is that to do with anything?

From one angle just imagine someone was arrested for playing game. Imagine child on playground being arrested for playing with marbles. But, things are not that simple this adult game was connected with money, and everything what has connection with money we give some kind of value, so much that we are keen to put someone in prison.

In the same way, we grow economy, create roles, watch our security, value things, help others trying to go around fundamental question that needs answer - who owns and who has right to access resources in the society where everything is fully automated?
