At the same time I spent 8 years learning it day in day out in high school and university, so it's hard to tell how far you'll get with just self-learning.

It also depends on what you want to do with the knowledge. Perhaps just go book browsing to a library that has a good set of books about electronics, to find what you mind be the most interested in. Libraries associated with electotechnical schools typically have plenty of these books.

There were several business opprotunities just this year that vanished just because email providers of people who inquired to me over e-mail blocked my responses with 5xx error. Those people just think I ignored them, but in reality it was their provider censoring e-mail. They're not in control of their e-mail so they will never know.

What's actually creepy here is that some unknown person is sending unsolicited messages about a group of people organizing to harm the receipient, and seemingly doing this en-masse for many users.

I have different rules for different addresses. Public e-mail adresses and e-mail adresses that are meant for online services. Public ones are permanent and filtered and mailchimp and similar don't get to send mail there. The other type of address is whitelisted and disposable. Everything ends in the same mailbox. Works like a charm.

You never know what will be the initial trigger for change, who will be inspired or whatever. Take this guy: http://www.ecns.cn/2018/01-02/286632.shtml Why should some basketball celebrity and his campaign have so much effect?

It's orthogonal question to the effectiveness of going somewhere and shooting some people.

We managed to save him, by taking him to a psychological crisis management center, where he stayed for a few weeks, got a big change in his daily routine, found some new friends and was able to recover.

Might as well be that she simply was unlucky, that she stayed in contact with people who added into her fears/anger and paranoia, instead of pulling her out of her daily context and meaningfully opposing what seemed overblown and crazy about her thinking, helping her see alternative ways to achieve what she wanted, etc.

It's not like it's one way transfer of value from companies to users.

So why your rhetorical question?

It's work in progress, but should be easy to reason about and work with even without using coroutines.

I didn't optimize for space at all, twitter's json is quite wasteful.

It circumvents the tweet/account removals done by users or Twitter. Also I can do any kind of search/data processing I want.

I guess I'm not alone. You can't hide your data once they are made public.

It's interesting what is possible once you start treating web services as a data source. Sometimes there is much more exposed than is visible or easily consumable on the page and you can filter/search/consume the way you want without all the clutter/feeding algorithms around the original page/service.
