I recognise the waste in waiting time, but I also think we are still increasing productivity more than enough to make up for it.
Personally I solve it by multitasking harder. Whenever there is a waiting time for a download or other stuff I simply start doing something else. I'm not going to waste my life watching loading bars for a living.
I don't think increasing user-friendlyness is a good solution. It's pretty much what caused the issues to begin with. Every time Windows or the apps make something more user-friendly it always results in more buttons to click and more updates to keep up.
I also spend an unreasonable amount of time just rearranging the windows in comparison to back when apps had keyboard-only GUIs with functions layered in different pages or tabs. I obviously don't think that is a good solution today either, but it goes to show that the bloated operating system has a lot of the blame.
Say you want to do something simple like renaming a file, you'll need to open an app to show the folders and files and also 100 different functions that are of no use for the specific task, position and scroll it where it's visible, navigate by mouse or keyboard and then do whatever you wanted. My point is that just operating the operation system is something that requires 10s of seconds over and over again every day. There's a long way from thought to execution for the simplest task.
The good thing is that it enables a lot of people to do so without any training at all, so maybe that makes up for it in total.
Oh boy..I'll bring you up to speed.
When I was a kid we used to roll down hills in wheels. Those were the Goodyears.
What do you call 365 condoms? A fucking Goodyear.
It's almost as if the generation that taught us to "decide with your heart", "do what you love", "you can be everything you dream of", etc.etc. has suddenly decided to focus and rule the world by irrelevant talking points instead of staying true to their own beliefs and teaching.
I hope that whatever happens in the next decade at the dying breath of that generation will not set the precedent for following inhabitants of this planet. I, being gen-x, am doing as much as I can to enable people to younger than me to have better opportunities than I ever had. (Union stuff.)
The difference being that I acknowledge that younger people are more capable. My parents generation never understood that. They still cling to the belief that age equals wisdom. Maybe their parents taught them that. There is some truth to it, but he cutting point is a lot lower than they believe. The peak of capability is probably closer to 25 than 80...
Edit. Anyway. The world depends on the American election. Mostly because the world needs USA to be successful in order to maintain a stable balance in world politics. The last Trump period was basically what fucked it up in the first place and I have no expectations of it being any better at a second term, on the contrary.
Please vote for Biden. Sure, he's old (please attend to primaries next time...) and Hillary was too, but Trump is still the most senile of them all. I get it. It was funny to vote in some jackass to stir shit up, but that's not really what happened. All he achieved was to play golf and let radical idiots run the place down..
It's not even about the talking points. He spits in every direction, so it doesn't even matter. He will not fulfill any of the most modest expectations of any of the talking points whether or not you agree with them. He's going to play golf and let random asslickers run the place, again. That's not democracy.
So, what happens if you order a bomb at the McD?
Those mistakes would be easily solved by something that doesn't even need to think. Just add a filter of acceptable orders, or hire a low wage human who does not give a shit about the customers special orders.
In general, AI really needs to set some boundaries. "No" is a perfectly good answer, but it doesn't ever do that, does it?
Evolving evolution in a biblical context? My ass.
Ha, that was unintentional. I'll leave it as a proof of concept.
Religion is a whispering game between generations. The message is heavily distorted by bow.
Your quote is not from the OP article, or maybe it's been changed.
I'm not sure what you're up to but if you are using software to do it, perhaps a multiband compressor would be more suitable than an EQ.
Burn the hex.
