Something similar happened to me with cofounderslab.com. I paid some $60 for full membership, asked a question and got banned. Threatened lawsuit if they don't refund me and they did. Still can go fuck themselves, didn't visited their pathetic site ever since (many years ago).
Playing western movies was the whole purpose and beat by far any other form of entertainment. So imagine my surprise when discovering people were using these wonderful devices primarily to record stuff...
One thing you might wanna check is your B12 vitamin blood level. I paid some 20$ once to get that checked and was on the low side. A colleague of mine tested herself after hearing me and was well below limit, doctor straight went to inject her with vitamin shots.
Apparently it causes irreversible neurological damage if too low for too long.
And I'm no vegetarian (B12 is only found in meat). But seems like a lot of people don't absorb it well. There's more in liver than regular meat so I make myself liver with onion stew from time to time (only way I can eat it, grilled liver I find repulsive). Also... don't exagerate on the liver coze you might get hypervitaminosis A for a change :) Oh, and when you eat your liver for B12, avoid side dish salad. Vitamin C blocks absorbtion of B12 it seems so you'd be eating that liver in vain (for the intended purpose, it still fills you up).
I've worked with analog computers, they were used in control systems. I understand that Moon landing used analog computers along digital ones as well.
Basically you can do PID (proportional, integrative, derivative) calculus on them using plain analog electronics. Very specialized and nothing to get overexcited about.
It's like calling these biological machinery "computers": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Human_computers_-_Dryden....
Bottom line "quantum computing" has nothing to do with the classic field of digital computers (personal PCs), it's a stupid, deliberate misuse to borrow from the legitimacy and respectability of an established field.
The term should die in a fire. "quantum crap putting" is a lot more appropriate given all the crap they put in the headlines to fool the guillible.
Like coffee: I like a hint of sweet in my espresso, but Cola is like dumping 4-5 spoons in a small cup of coffee. Becomes sugar syrup and that's all one can taste anymore.
I know, it takes man's interference to create this shit.
Chemistry is a wild beast, like this other monstrosity created by man: https://youtu.be/dAhiqGZCwNQ?si=ITR3lsEFmzzbJFsg
Dacia https://ro.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_1300 was such a vastly superior car to Trabant that it even transpired from popular culture into shows as Archer. Unfortunately like the computers, production was largely confined to citizens so not many might have heard about them (automotive and computer industry) abroad.
What you are regurgitating is spoken precisely from the vantage point of a well fed ignoramus.
Come back when you already have a year into the job and then say "lost my job". Now it's just "didn't get a job", an entirely different and very unremarkable thing.
But at home I have side projects or learning projects. I get the 3 hours back and can spread them throughout the day. One hour in the morning, another one when I'm bored or tired of the job etc. If I go to the office it's nothing but a rather unappealing job domain and nothing else. Too tired in the evening to learn anything anymore, too stressed and still sleepy in the morning as well.
So fuck the office, they'd have to pay me 50% more to compensate for the time lost in transit and I would still not take it.
I have an electronics book from =~ 1950, Romania (still under Soviet occupation at the time). For literally every invention listed there like radio or the vacuum tube, they cite the recognized inventor (Marconi, Lee de Forest) then launch in a visceral diatribe against capitalism and imperialism and state that the thing was first invented by some Russian mujic (peasant), along with it's name, village and picture. But capitalist pigs somehow stole the brilliant but poor guy's invention and pretended it's theirs.
So it happens, not just in India. There is an entire retarded cultural movement, I forgot the name, where some God-forgotten tiny place like say "Elbonia" pretends, with evidence, that they invented everything and were everywhere before everyone.
Like, I brought my first 386 SX-25 Mhz home from college campus when vacation arrived and so replaced the ZX-Spectrum that my younger brother was using. Arrived home late in the evening, my brother was nearly delirious with excitement but didn't have much time to play with the PC coze parents demanded he goes to sleep, afterwards what big deal, there's plenty of time to do whatever in the morning (parents sensitivity never changes).
He told me he barely closed an eye that entire night, checking the clock every half hour waiting for the dawn. When I woke up it was day outside and my brother was typing on the PC keyboard.
Today (almost 30 years later) he tells me nothing in the World can replicate that experience. You could offer him the most preposterous Windows gaming machine or ridiculously expensive Mac, he'd check it for like 5 minutes, say "nice" then shrug and go to sleep :)
