I've worked as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) for over 12 years across startups, midsize, and FAANG companies with a focus on automating tests and processes which are often repetitively mundane or large time sinks. This ranges from writing said automated tests for web and mobile devices to the frameworks that run them. I also have experience in managing teams of people that take care of these tasks.
I enjoy the time saving nature of automation and have a genuine interest in maintaining a high degree of product quality. While my work has been SDET related up until now, I am open to developer roles as well since there is a high degree of overlap.
If you would like to get to know more about my experience work wise or personal projects feel free to send me an email.

I've used parsyncfp2 which I think is just another implementation of the same thing and I've definitely seen 2x-3x throughput improvement when transferring over large distances.
As you mentioned it definitely depends on how the ISP handles traffic.
I have yet to try but I've heard good things about hpn-ssh as well.

How does this differ from parsyncfp2?

When I was dogfooding their Horizon/avatar products I would often provide this kind of feedback on surveys.
I no longer work there anymore.
On a serious note testing VR stuff was only a minor side thing I occasionally did and unrelated to my main scope.

I suspect it's for the same reason not everyone runs adblockers on their browser. Either not knowing about the alternative or laziness.

I think EVs will head in the complete opposite direction in that sales will slow down and they will continue to be a minority.
Ford just killed off the F150 lightning and EVs (but also new cars) are still expensive purchases in a time with a lot of economic uncertainty.
While Chinese companies are making affordable options all the markets seem to love putting tariffs on them in order to keep their homegrown automakers alive.

Why?
We can just get 7 engineers to work on each laser in parallel and it'll be done in record time!

Yeah I did clicker training for her to learn fetch and she know how to.
She just seems to have zero association between the "fetch" word and action.

I think we have the same cat.
I also did the clicker training for paw/fist tricks and sitting pretty quick. I took a pause with the stick pointing because she traumatized herself with a stick toy and is quite avoidant to sticks.
Sprint toys are her favorite and she'll fetch those or bring them to me to throw when she wants treats.

I'm impressed by the degree of selective catS possess. They can responds to like 5 different names if in the mood while other times won't event flinch even after repeating 20 times.
While my cat doesn't seek my approval, she is definitely highly food motivated to the point where she was faking wanting to go outside and thus put a harness on (which she does not enjoy) just for the treats she would get.

I would love to believe this but given my experience with my cat even single words are tough for them. For example my cat knows how to fetch her favorite toy but doesn't respond to the word "fetch" at all even with positive reinforcement (treats). The word "fetch" just doesn't mean anything for her even though I've paired it with the action of her fetch many times we play.

Maybe they'll gamify it with credits and make you watch ads for in order to gain them and thus use the service for free.

They disable so many features when you remove "Smart features" i.e.
Grammar, Spelling, Autocorrect, Smart Compose/Reply (those templated suggested replies), Nudges, Package tracking, Desktop notifications.
Google really wants to punish you for doing that.
The Dyson one definitely seems to use more tech but probably does a similar thing.
I don't know where or not either of them improve brushing by a significant amount but if these companies want to spend their money on research then why not?
