For a lot of people, if their data is being used as a benefit, then they should be properly compensated for that. They're more likely to be trying to comprehend how to keep food on the table.
94107 is a discontinuous zip code. It contains both SOMA (where I live) and Potrero Hill which you have quoted. What was the prediction?

Certainly, I am a great believer in the market. If they believe the price is insufficient, there is no reason to sell. I am only offering them this information for free so that they may set their price in a more informed manner. I'm doing that because I have a related semi-religious personal principle https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Observation_Dharma
No. It goes back to the 1990s when we used Data Entry Operators to key mail details that could not be read by OCR. This is all so the mail goes into the truck sorted. That is the most important part of the mail delivery operation.
The fact that you can get pictures from this system is the innovation but imaging has existed for much longer than this product.
IIRC Microsoft is rewriting some of these backend services in Rust, although not because it will increase security but because it lets them get better perf than existing solutions without the safety tradeoff they'd have suffered to go to C++ which would have been their option 15-20 years ago. I don't know whether Sharepoint was on that list.
SharePoint is primarily written in C# [.NET Framework 4.8] and leverages ASP.NET; there would be no reason to rewrite the majority in another language. There is some C++ in SharePoint Search (and a few other components here and there).
IIS which SharePoint runs atop of is written in presumably primarily C.
You can decompile most of SharePoint if you ever need to peek at the code. That's a huge advantage to figure out how it works.
> then everyone benefits from cheaper widgets and you get paid for it.
Ah, but the original widget manufacturer bought a Senator, and so now there are onerous widget regulations that specifically target me while leaving them unscathed.
Don't you know widgets could somehow be dangerous in the hands of.. uh.. the Chinese?
> The real economy
It's possible it stopped existing decades ago. To quote the character of Dr Burry: "It's possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system."
This is one of those things that sounds profound, but if you actually think about it, is obviously bullshit.
Of course there's a real economy. By definition, any time you have a bunch of people buying and selling things to earn a living—and we've got over 300 million of them doing just that in the US—you have a real economy.
That doesn't mean it's the same as the economy that's being paid attention to by the media or the government, but the idea that "the real economy stopped existing," let alone "decades ago", is....well, it's not even wrong. It's a complete category error.
The only way you can possibly assert that in the face of obvious reality is to start redefining terms until they are effectively meaningless.
More directly if the game engine only updates player state every 60 seconds (tick rate) then is this 4ms advantage actually present for the 240Hz case?
Further if your network has more than 4ms of jitter then I don't think you can make any concrete claim in either direction.
My theory about why it helps gamers to have a higher frame rate is that for something like a whip turn, with a low frame rate, your brain has to take a brief moment to work out where it ended up looking after the pan. But if your frame rate is high enough, you brain can keep updating its state during the pan because the updates are continuous enough not to lose “state” during it. This means when you finish the fast move, there is no delay while you reorient yourself for a few milliseconds.
Yes, because the visual feedback on your client matters as well (faster reaction times).
Also, it means each frame is more recent. Also, higher refesh rates reduce the mean variance between the timestamps of rendered frames offered by the GPU that are drawn on the monitor, meaning the visuals are smoother. The smoothness is pleasing to the eye and makes it easier to focus.

You have "social anxiety." You are not in a "moat of low status." The status is purely in your own mind and not something calculated and assigned to you by the world.
