My 2 cents…

Anxiety is the emotion, not the internal conflict that leads to that emotion. You are having the exact same anxiety in both cases but the cause appears to be slightly different.

So the real question is not "what kind of anxiety is this?" but "what causes this anxiety?".

The problem, here, is that impostor syndrome, if that's something you actually have, is very likely to skew your perception and prevent you from answering the question correctly. In the first situation, "is way above my skill set" may just as well be your impostor syndrome kicking in, so how can you actually tell if you need a confidence boost or a kick in the ass if internal signals can't be trusted? I guess external signals are the only alternative.

Do the people who put you on that project actually know what you are capable of or do they have a history of bad resource management decisions? How do you compare with others on the team in terms of experience? Is it something you have already done or something new? Is it the same for everyone in the team? Etc.

In any case, a clear, honest, unbiased answer to "what causes this anxiety?" is what you really need to go further.

By the way, the "good" thinking and the "bad" thinking are both done at the same place by the same entity so you should give up on that dissociation between "my brain" and "me": there is only one pawannitj and he/she is as responsible of the "bad" thinking (internal conflict, impostor syndrome, etc.) as he/she is of counteracting with "good" thinking. Deflecting responsibilities to "my brain" is not a healthy way to address your problems.

Eric Ries's https://ltse.com/ is one alternative.
I strongly suspect it'd be impossible to figure out which anxiety a given problem falls in to on your own. A good mentor would be able to help you differentiate between the two.
The signal value of “being exposed to a link about surveillance and clicking it” is pretty darn low. Unless you’re in North Korea I wouldn’t worry about it.

Projects like this remind me of why we need to use public money for space exploration. The extreme constraints on space exploration drive new innovations and ideas that can flow down into our everyday lives.
> That's kind of a childish argument to make - "why should we do it when x doesn't anyway? Hmph!"

Well it’s a _global_ problem. The US isn’t the only party here. Emissions in the US have been going down and in India and China they’ve been going up[1] like crazy. And yet the US is constantly harangued about reducing emissions and concerns about India and China are hand waved away.

KMT is related to Taiwan even though they want closer ties to CCP
No, they aren't. India's per capita CO2 output is tiny. China's is middle of the road. Per capita is the only way we can talk about CO2, because otherwise we get true absurdities, like Denmark or Ireland being allowed to pollute as much as the US. (The world will not support 200 countries polluting ad much as the US.)

There's also a simple solution to getting trade partners on board. It's called a carbon tariff.
Yeah it’s like there’s a generation or two of ass-kicking women working their way through the brackets. They started hitting the low one on the 70’s and filtering into the 55-61 bracket in the mid 90's. Maybe they just aged out around the time of the recession.

> To get similar (albeit much, much sharper) results

Tbh it's not that hard to get sharper results, this was shot on a 40 years old camera, with a 50+ years old lens using a cheapo carbon fiber tripod ( 25+mph wind that probably rocked my camera quite a bit)

They did: "Clearly, this cannot work with a handheld camera; the phone would have to be placed on a tripod, a rock, or whatever else might be available to hold the camera steady."
> When Bezos insisted that the original 2007 Kindle include a cellular connection so customers could download and access e-books from anywhere, people thought the idea was an exorbitant flourish (...) When Bezos encouraged a free-shipping initiative, executives pushed back, nervous about its impact on earnings. (...) So when it came to the Fire Phone, says one former product lead, "Yes, there was heated debate about whether it was heading in the right direction. But at a certain point, you just think, ‘Well, this guy has been right so many times before.’"

It must be extremely hard/impossible to challenge Jeff Bezos when you're... well when you're not him.

However, the examples given here of Jeff being right, are about features that benefit customers (at a cost that some people thought was too high).

But the problem with the 3-D functionality wasn't that it was costing the company too much. It was that nobody could figure out how it would be useful -- at any cost for Amazon, or the customer.

I remember the videos promoting the Fire phone with random people saying "wow"... they reminded me of the Windows Vista videos, with random people looking out their window and staring at deer in the morning sun.

If you have to pay actors to say "wow" in a video maybe there's a problem.
I've had three "learner drivers" in my family and I spent quite a few hours as the "safety person" during their apprenticeship. During all those hours I never touched the wheel, brake, or gas. I gave advice occasionally, but never felt that the "learner driver" was driving unsafely.

I assure you that 15 year old young adults drive much better than a Tesla "self driving" computer with millions of miles and millions of hours of training.
What do you mean by : "I'm tired of companies that try to solve the same problems over and over again." ? If they struggle with one problem is because it's an important one and it needs to be fixed, but the solution is not 'yet' available.

General cheating story:

My wife is a professor (ya that again:>). As an accounting professor they do a lot of their homework/projects in excel. Excel, of course, saves the information of the document creator in it's meta-data which is trivial to look-up. She'll routinely get 5 or 6 of the exact same file (with the same origination data) for the same project. Overall, she'll catch 10%-20% of her class cheating in a given semester without even really trying.
Shit, it's a document? I just saw Flashblock come up and assumed it was a video.
I'm involved in multiple startups using Java - both the language and more broadly the JVM (Groovy, Scala).

Despite all the bad news you might hear, as long as you stay clear of the bloated enterprise stuff it's a great platform and environment for a startup.

Hosting used to be an impediment but these days VPS make it dead easy to run Java stuff.
My wife and I have decided that we're just not going to fly at all unless it's really critical that we do so. Anything inside 1,000 miles or so, we'll just drive. Anything outside of that we're just not going to travel. That means that we don't get to see some parts of our family, who live on the other side of the country, and we're not happy about that, but it's a necessary sacrifice.

I'll have to do some traveling for business, but that won't be with my son. Until there are sweeping changes for the better, no airline will have our personal business.

Every piece of important information is larger and clearer on the left. Obviously there are flaws, but I think it could have been redesigned in a much more effective way.
Great advice, thank you- will make a note of these things for when we start deploying. At the moment, I think we will only need one EC2 instance attached to an encrypted EBS volume with the database on it. We're not using RDS. When you say encrypt PHI traffic between servers, you mean like EC2<-->S3?
There is an individualistic notion here that you, personally, need to be the leader of a project to change the world. Or if not the leader, one of the founders. Perhaps that's inherent in founding a startup. There are not many people involved, so if it's going to succeed, it's up to you. (Sort of. It's also up to your customers.)

But I think a lot of people would be just as happy working on a project along with many others to change the world, provided that they have confidence that it's a just cause, has a good chance of succeeding, and they're treated reasonably fairly. When these preconditions align (in perception if not in reality) you can get something big.

Assuming the digital copies had an adequate bitrate, it's possible that the differences you're hearing between vinyl and digital are attributable to 'loudness war' brick-wall limiting. Some studios choose to use different masters for vinyl and digital which can make vinyl sound better.

You would think the environmentalists on the left would would look at the population projection tables and exercise a little more common sense about immigration. Apparently they have no sway.

We're well on the course to a peak population over 400 million, which is way beyond any sane carrying capacity for north america in terms of environmental foot print given american standards of living.
If you are a designer, you know that clients like to find something to criticize or change; the same is true with HN commenters. Thanks for the site, which taught me some useful things.

That was my impression as well, though it seems inconsistent with the point of government. The sole distinguishing characteristic of government, that which sets it apart from all other forms of human organization, is its capacity to legitimately perform acts that would be considered criminal for anyone else to do. Absent the legitimacy, they would be a protection racket; absent the power, they would be a non-profit organization.
That means that the US can purchase things without having to first go through (expensive) currency exchange,...

Expensive? The Bid/Ask spread for EUR-USD is (at the moment I write this) 1.4582-1.4584. Hedging your forex risk can be expensive, but exchange is not.
It's a classic lease vs. buy argument. If you only need a resource for a day, then relatively speaking, it's cheaper. However, if you pay the rental fee every day for a year, it gets more and more expensive than an outright purchase. The comparison largely depends on the time scale you look at.

The main reasons I'm aware of that provisioning dedicated servers take longer is because you have to deal with data center logistics. Which rack does it go in? Which VLANs does it need to be in? What bandwidth is the customer paying for and how will we route the uplink? If the customer has other machines can we put these new ones in the same rack without overloading the PDU?

There's a lot of hidden work that goes into data center management.

In my opinion it's because if you buy the site then you're buying the users as well. For example if Google purchased Twitter instead of building a clone (Buzz) then they would've inherited Twitter's users. Instead they did build Buzz and it was/is a flop.
I think this is exactly the point of the article. Your own reactions dealt directly with the money. The girls in the article used the money to create complicated social rules.
We are all adults in the same society. Do you think it's possible to look at the history of technology before 1960 without looking at, say, Einstein's skin color?
Not sure that's 100% true. Many places may indeed skip over someone like that, but there's no law I've ever read that says "if someone sends in a picture, you can not consider them for a position". Perhaps if you know of such a law, you could post it here?

I think he's arguing that Backbone.js in itself is fine but since it doesn't do much you have to add plugins or write your own implementation of the missing parts.

The issue with that is that the learning curve is now higher because the chances that a developer knows those missing parts that you added or coded is increasingly small.

Btw, I'm a heavy Backbone.js user so I still think it's a better option compared to other MVC flavours but I do have the problem that a lot of things related to data binding and UI animations is custom built and have the issue described above.

Oh god don't get me started on the ESF... That's a classic cartel if there is one. Did you know that they don't let you keep the wages you own? All the money is pooled and then split at the end of the season according to seniority and number of hours. What a scam.

In ye olden days when I was not gainfully employed I subscribed to the New Statesman (to the left as spectator is to the right) as well as the Spectator.

3. A substantial portion of the variation in complex human behavioral traits is not accounted for by the effects of genes or families.

This is the one that I can't understand how do they know. Consider the case in which some behaviour is the result of a combination of genes. One of them is on in 95% of individuals and off in 5%. When one of them is on, the fen. is on. It's still genetics but, unless you are certain of every gene that takes part in the combination, how will you know?

Actually, when they say that behavioral traits are heritable, are they saying that these genes are identified or is it just statistics?

You're right, CryptoNets used a data layout optimized for throughput with a batch size 4096. Since then we've done a lot of work on low latency inference with our CHET compiler [1] and my colleagues with LoLa [2]. It all comes down to the data layouts you use.

While I agree that alcoholism is sad, this is a non sequitur. Unless you have knowledge about the founder of this service that isn't posted on the site, neither of us know that he is or is not an alcoholic. Plenty of people get drunk without being dependent on alcohol in any way, and it does not help those suffering from alcoholism to ignore that.

I mostly use Simplenote for ideas and loose notes, and Quip/Evernote for more structured notes. All three sync to all my devices, and while neither are perfect for my needs, they are OK.

The problem comes from keeping everything organized (impossible with Evernote and Simplenote with their lack of structure, impossible with Quip since it's docs/spreadsheets-only) and in a way that works with my mind and workflow.

I'm working on sketching out what a unified personal knowledge management product might look like, which combines a kind of "inbox" of sorts of resources and notes coming in, and also a "personal wiki" with structured docs, and a number of people I know are also thinking about what a 'perfect' knowledge management system would look like. Let me know if you want to bounce around some ideas around.

I don't think it's impossible to have a first class bash or zsh environment (or even necessarily a non-emulated POSIX environment) but like many things in software it may take time and a few iterations to get it right and as mmphosis says below how do you manage the complexity.

Thanks for giving me the feedback that you're using the environment for web-development.

I've often wondered as I look over feedback like yours if one of the reasons some web developers prefer NIX is because a good many tutorials are written assuming a NIX environment. Would love to know your thoughts.

No, cheating is gaining an unfair advantage in some kind of competition by violating the clearly specified rules. Your definition certainly is not how the word cheat is commonly used, and I have no idea where you came up with it.

I think you are thinking of "plagiarism," which sometimes intersects with cheating, sometimes not.

There are a lot of apologists here, and they're all missing the point. Google App Engine has a large number of random issues and limitations which, while they each individually seem like they ought not to matter, add up to a substantial risk for a project running on it. I'm currently working on a project with a web component, and considered GAE. I chose not to use it, because some of the stuff I encountered in the documentation is absolutely terrifying. You're supposed to handle exceptions from the datastore? Really? The best you can possibly do is retry, but if that was going to work the library would be doing it automatically... so I guess it's saying that your app might just randomly fail sometimes. No https with a domain? I guess ever taking credit card numbers is off the table. Thirty second limit per request? Sounds reasonable, except for all the complaints about the app engine taking thirty seconds just to load the Python interpreter and compile their code. That sort of shit will sink a project; until App Engine has had a lot more time to sort out its issues and mature, I want no part of it.
