I play piano, sax, guitar, and I can sing well enough. I'm garbage at songwriting and composing. I immediately see the value of using this tool to scaffold an idea out. I think being able to export lyrics and chord progressions would be an amazing paid feature to keep this as a freemium product.

I think there's a large education gap surround EVs that needs to be filled. Hopefully more articles and experiments like this continue to appear. If you have an EV, consider spreading the word - good and bad. It's important to talk about all aspects to both bring more users into the EV fold, and address existing issues.

We can't even do something as simple as upgrading the post office vehicles without bringing in defense contractors. Give me a break. Put that money towards a company of peace, or at least the company that will cost USPS the least.

I would like to humbly submit a 4th change. The large keyboard, but with narrower black keys. I have the hand size and range to play well on a large keyboard, but my biggest struggle has been my wide fingers being unable to fit between the black keys (only by a few millimeters).
I have large hands and I used to be able to play very well, but in college it began to get harder and harder to get my fingers between the keys.

I'm a full stack developer that works well with clients and coworkers alike. Currently working as a developer, but there's no room for growth. Looking to relocate to anywhere on the West Coast (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, etc.)
Interested in management positions in the future, and looking for a company where I can grow into management.

From technologies like Hotjar that record your mouse movements on a given webpage, to simple IP address logging (who visited this page on our site, from what referrer, etc.), people really have no clue how closely their actions are being monitored.
However, as with lots of data analysis, their personal information alone means almost nothing. Their data in the aggregate of all visitors' data is valuable for analyzing conversion rates, if and how their banners are working, etc.
I can't speak to the ethics of this, nor do I care to. I don't believe it's right to track so much interaction without duly notifying the customer it's happening, but I have very little aside from a sense of common courtesy to back that belief up.
The experience has given me a new appreciation for JavaScript blocker extensions, which before I had believed are no longer really needed. It's also given me an insight as to the value of an e-commerce page over a physical store location.
For example: Say I go to my local Target. If I'm looking at cameras, and the sales person asks if I need any help, or whatever, and I say no, they go away, and the interaction is over.
But lets say I go to their website. Immediately, a personal session with this page is created for me, even though I don't know it. I'm tracked from the home page, to their electronics sections, to the Camera subsection. My movements in figuring out the search filters is being tracked, my mouse movements over the available products is tracked, all adding data to create a "heatmap" of that webpage.
Even if I don't buy a thing, I've given them little pieces of information to be used in analyzing their site. My visit will be considered a failure to their marketers, and the data surrounding my failure to buy will be used to retool their site in the hopes of getting people like me next time.
