Allow me to disagree with you.

"Soon, a few key employees begun downplaying this ability of mine"

"begun searching for motives to belittle our work. Things have now gotten to a point where even my boss is refraining from defending us."

What IF... Your university have a high "pedigree" but the education and your skills are really not great?

It may surprise you.. But what if you are "average"? Or Worse.. You are smart but did not work/study hard?

Now you have 2 options:

1. Be angry and defend yourself and your actions as you are doing and use "top notch" university as a shield.

2. Consider what I am saying and search for "real" feedback.

#2 is very hard because people are so afraid to offend or loose their time discussing with someone that does not want to listen that they avoid giving feedback.

My strategy at similar situation was sit with my "enemies" and say:

"Ok, I can sense we are not getting along and may work is not to your standards. Can you really really give me feedback and tell me what I can get better?"

Now be aware.. One of my "worst" enemy rant for 40 min. talking about how I do X, Y ... etc. Mostly were his personal agenda but in the middle of that I grasp two things. And that really help me.

What I want to mean is:
When people complain our become your enemy is not about YOU but it is about HOW they PERCEIVE YOU. They don't know you are a nice guy that teaches for free in a poor kids school or that your a nice neighbour that helps your senior.

They only "know" perceive you for small hours and with their glasses.

So if you adjust two or three things on your "representation" you can make leaps in positivity.

My Enemy perceived that I was not hard working despite I was the most hard worker. So Every Friday I went to his office and talked about what I did on week and my plan for the next.

In two months I was the "best employee" working the same load. Surely I did not work more but his "perception" was that I did...

You know... Humans...

PS. I really want to help you in a positive way
Thank you! I'll fix this :)
There are two kinds of graph databases, property graph and rdf semantic graph. Neo 4J is the former, which I don't think is that useful in primarily only showing some kind of relation between things. The rdf semantic graph approach, however, captures the semantics of the relationship allowing inference and queries not normally possible with rdbms.

It's an easier cultural change in thinking from rdbms to property graph, but also not a huge improvement in terms of what you can do vs an rdbms. Going with a full semantic graph where the relationship is also represented by a node with unlimited relationships, and moving and thinking in hierarchies and inference, is a complete cultural change with an impressive productivity and capability improvement not possible with rdbms. Allegrograph is a good example of a semantic graph which can handle trillions of triples.

It’s pretty easy to get a simple setup to do single color prints at your local arts and craft store. Speedball brand sells the ink and press and various other bits and bobs. You can either carve in linoleum which is softer and easier but less precise, or in wood. We’ve done Christmas card this way a couple of times and the results have been great if a little “rustic”.

OTOH, doing multi block, perfectly aligned woodblock prints like the ones in the link is quite difficult. There’s no shortcut, you have to carve each color block by hand.
Read Introduction to Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang; should be all you need. There are the MIT OCW lectures that you can use too.
This is who to hire for credit score increase
It was here I met UNIVERSAL HACK9. My credit score was at 536 and I needed to buy a house and was told that I need to be at less 600 to qualify for a loan. I have two crazy accounts on my report one of which was reported twice. I was working with a repair company to get it off but they could not and I want to know how I can increase my credit score. I read earlier about universalhack9@gmail. com how he has helped tons of people, I don't have any family or close friend here as I just migrate almost two years now. So I contacted him and just some weeks he raised it to 776 wow something I was aiming for 600. Thank you so much universal hack9 I now have a house of my own. You can reach him on UNIVERSALHACK9@GMAIL. COM
The spatial audio demo only works relative to distance, not position. If you stand next to a speaker and spin around, the audio remains the same.

It also confused me, they should probably have done something in 2D instead.
This is all very true and relevant, yet still its also true that we see lots of stories from founders regretting that they never established market fit before sinking years into development. This is probably the pattern for 90% of indie game developers, but it crops up in other contexts as well. Once they finally know they are at the end of that road to nowhere, they do have regrets, and they have had other ideas in the meantime that they did not pursue because they were dedicated to the current project.

All this aside, I have a side-project, and I'm not looking for any validation of it, just classic "build it and they will come" type thinking.
I think you're misinterpreting the tone of the parent's comment as an endorsement, when it is likely in fact a critique.

Marx's commentary on so-called democratic states: "The executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie" rings quite true today. In China they've perfected this by getting the pesky petty grumbles of the population out of the way.

Yeah, maybe. I don't buy it. As far as I can tell, there's not some big global conspiracy of "the powers that be" -- there's just a bunch of random stupid humans doing the best they can.

The problem of climate change is just too big and happening over too long a timescale for us to address. None of our personal or political systems are evolved to deal with it.
In my opinion these advices apply mostly to B2B and enterprise segment, where you sell to much smaller group of people and it's easier to articulate their needs and demands ahead, and where each individual sale is a significant achievement.

So, are there any examples of something that started with the selling first building later?

Sure, for a small operation that is not particularly innovative you can do that. You can first sell someone a house and later build it but I am not aware of a product that made it big by consulting the potential users without having a product(MVP or even a POC) in hand. Usually, it seems, people start with a product that they have some kind of awareness of its purpose and value, measure the reactions and iterate it thereafter.

I mean, if selling first and building later is the right way to do a start-up, there must be people who actually succeeded with their start-ups by selling first and building later but I'm yet to hear about one.
> developing advanced nuclear power

Deploying renewable energy generators is just so much fast and more flexible, and demolition (either controlled or uncontrolled) isn't such a risk as with a nuclear power plant.

Stopping our existing coal power plants while cutting down on energy consumption; Sure, it's an educational problem but during WWII people collected scrap metal for the war effort.

The Amish are far from arbitrary with what technology they allow. When new tech arrives they experiment with it, and then see what affects it causes on the community based on a few metrics they value highly.

When the car came, they saw that cars made families and communities live further apart. They didn’t like that, so they went back to horses.

When the phone came they liked the ability to connect and the ability to call for emergency services, but they didn’t like the gossip factor. So they installed their phones in separate booths outside their homes, so everyone can see who is using the phone too much.
I keep asking. How to organize at the middle layer ? Not govt or nation wide, but smaller areas. I believe starting small reactions in parallel could accelerate things. Otherwise it's still talk.

China is a capitalist state run by converted former Marxists using the language of Marxist-Leninism to administrate an authoritarian market economy.

They've in a sense found a way to use Marx's critique of capitalism towards its opposite intent. Marx saw the authoritarianism inherent in the market and how it was tied to wage labour exploitation? The Chinese Communist party has harnessed that authoritarianism to increase exploitation to its maximum.

The Communist Party in China are as "communist" as the later Roman emperors were "Christian."

It's very easy for an audiophile to start going down the slippery slope into madness.

It usually starts with amplifiers, then speakers, then source equipment... and then they start rearranging furniture, tearing out drywall and putting absorbers everywhere, and then it starts all over again in a cycle.

I find it best to stick with a nice comfy pair of headphones and keep expectations low for everything else. If you're only managing the volume of air between your ear drums and the headphone cups-- that can be done to an obsessive level for vastly less cost (and without divorce) than if we're talking about a whole living room.
> It's like saying a Ken Burns documentary lacks the creativity of The Avengers, because magic powers and superheroes don't exist in the prior. Or trying to compare a book about the personal relationships of a cancer patient (I'm thinking "The Fault In Our Stars" specifically here) to the Harry Potter series.

It sounds like the most obvious eng-lit analogy to Jin Yong in this respect would be T.H. White https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._H._White . White is possibly better regarded than Tolkien overall, though he's a bit less well-known. OTOH White tends to shy away from descriptions of fighting and supernatural conflict to a much greater extent than Tolkien, so maybe Jin Yong (whom I don't know at all) is more like Tolkien in that respect.

> Society has already accepted: helmet laws, seatbelt laws, mandatory health insurance, age limits for alcohol and tobacco consumption, food and drug regulations, etc.

not everything on that list is terrible; in fact, it provides a good opportunity to illustrate my point. not wearing a seatbelt makes it likely that you will become a lethal projectile in the event of an accident, so i'm okay with seatbelts being required. as far as food and drugs go, i think people should have access to as much information as possible about the things they are putting in their body, but i don't think they should be prevented from selling raw milk or dangerous drugs. i also think it is fine to prevent children from doing any number of risky things, as they are not mature enough be fully responsible for their actions. my problem is with treating adults like children. unless what you do with your body actually harms others, you should be left to do it in peace. and no, the fact that other people choose to waste resources cleaning up your mistakes does not constitute harming them.
I didn't say it was a conspiracy. It's a net, systematic effect caused by individual decisions in their self-interest. The concentration of power is an aggregate effect of the method of economic production we have.

That said, don't kid yourself for a minute that the people with large amounts of capital don't meet and discuss these things amongst themselves. They have both public-facing institutions (political parties, etc.) and private ones for this purpose.

> A directory gives you a list of pointers to data and files. A folder contains that data and files (though directories can conveniently contain them, too)

From an implementation perspective, you are correct. But that doesn't rebut what your parent comment is saying.

> On the web, any URI that ends with a "/" is specified to look first for an index file--such as index.html--which should contain a listing of links to files and other directories.

That is not my experience with most of the web. I've seen it, but not really that much in the past 6 years.
Same here, I HATE CAPTCHA's.
> The population is expected to operate vehicles without putting others in danger, not credentialize in how cars work.

Exactly! We require "car literacy" in drivers before we allow them to use them. Pretty much every advanced economy has mandatory driver licensing.

A driver can trivially press a few levers and slam themselves into a barrier at 100mph. But they don't do that, because they know, through experience and education, that it's a terrible idea.

That's the exact opposite of the approach that would have cars restrict their own usage into a narrow set of patterns and refuse to function otherwise.

WRT the last half of your comment: I think that's reasonable. Generating random passwords for users is a fair approach.

Account security exists on a spectrum. I don't think anyone (reasonable) is arguing against that, we're talking about mutable state here, actual _actions_.

What I'm railing against, is this idea that every webpage on the internet needs to be behind a CAPTCHA that does a bunch of invasive data collection including probably asking the user to perform a Mechanical Turk task in order to _access a website_ without even logging in.

It happens all the time. A website doesn't like my IP block -> forced through a bunch of nonsense. The site operator probably isn't even aware because they're using an upstream service which does it for them.

What a silly assertion. You can ignore evolutionary impulses with your brain when said impulses come from your brain.

Your brain can’t override how your metabolism and gut work. Your brain can’t change the bacteria in your gut, or the shape of your teeth.

Omnivorism is not an impulse, it’s an attribute of the species. It’s part of who we are.

This driver was digitally signed by Realtek, which means that the authors of the worm were somehow able to break into the most secure location in a huge Taiwanese company, and steal the most secret key that this company owns, without Realtek finding out about it.

In addition to everything else it’s doing, the worm is now playing us back a 21-second data recording on our computer screens that it captured when the centrifuges were working normally.

Wow, that was a fascinating read. The amount of resources and the level of sophistication is mind boggling. Somehow it feels like the finest brains alive are either working on making more deadlier weapons or on thwarting other people's efforts in making them.
As an average potential software engineer in the Midwest, it's at first exciting to see these salaries, but I also feel the need to check myself and realize that, in some ways, this is another universe to which I probably don't have access.

Thank you for honestly sharing your perspective. Unfortunately a fear-based approach reliably creates what it fears. If the proponents of a culture want others to do adopt their culture, they may do so by inspiring others through their compassion, generosity and self-sacrifice. This is the trust-based approach. Unfortunately it is rarely done because it is counter-intuitive and requires systematically setting aside all anger, forgiving when forgiveness is not deserved and making oneself vulnerable. Both approaches often result in casualties, but while one results in people dying attempting to enforce their will on others, the other involves people dying in an attempt to show compassion. The latter is profoundly persuasive in favour of the giver of compassion while the former incites profound hatred.
Yeah thanks but it's not that I want to build a guitar amp; I'd just like to read a little about the difference between guitar and headphone amps, different design decisions for headphone amps generally, things like that.
Because Windows was a POS program originally written on top of MS-DOS?

UNIX and VMS never had such oddities.

Directories became Folders around the time Macs went mainstream and then Windows 1.0 arrived and the whole "Desktop" metaphor took off in a big way. Before that, only technical people used computers.

All of it got dumbed down but not very well. It was tech people deciding for non-tech (idiots) what they thought would help and it all became an awful hodgepodge.
I think perhaps you misunderstood the context of my original comment. I was responding to two questions:

1) Why is Jin Yong marketed as "The Tolkien of China"?

2) Is Tolkien more creative than JY?

Both have subjective answers. In my personal explanation of my answer to number 2, I suggested that the moral complexities that JY characters deal with is an act of creativity on JY's part but cannot be directly compared to the world building on Tolkien's part. That is a personal judgment and a subjective call, and both of our answers to the question of Tolkien's moral complexity is the same.

And yes, I would rather you just say that directly than be passive aggressive and rude. I don't proclaim to be a Tolkien expert. I don't proclaim to be a JY expert, just a fan. I have offered my opinion on this forum in answering 2 basic questions; I don't think anything about that opinion or its delivery was one that deserved such rudeness.
The Wheel of Time has some great world building, but also some terrible. The Wheel has a lot of different cultures that all feel like they have an identity.

At what level of crisis does one country with a large enough arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles target the largest population centres of the world as the last resort to reach sustainable levels of humanity?

Is this being war-gamed at the highest level of any of the big three world powers that have this kind of arsenal?

How many times in a row with the likeliest variables does the modeling have to result in
"them or potentially everyone" before the decision is made to press the big red button?

Who decides the variables? What population numbers are we talking? What about retribution?

What about more subtle alternatives? Taking out an entire country's power grid under the guise of a terrorist act, let the ensuing chaos be it's own form of population control, then comes the big bang under cover of chaos it is more difficult to attribute.

This sounds like a dystopian story which would get turned into a bad movie with a happy ending starring The Rock or Tom Cruise being reunited with their daughter who was at college in one of the targeted cities but as luck would have it was visiting less fortunate rural orphans when it all went down, and she still had her makeup clutch.

I really don't know if I should have posted this or not. I've spent the last hour reading the other comments and the overwhelming feeling i get is that there's very little hope. Someone even quoted Peter Watts, so i can't be going too far thinking that this a real future option can I? I don't even know if i think its a remotely realistic scenario, but i do know that war is humanity's most effective population control with historic precedent.

I had a toy project which housed all its data in Postgres and I needed a bit of graph traversal, really basic stuff. I almost prepared some ETL to load the data into neo4j/redisgraph, but then I found out about recursive CTEs in Postgres.

Granted, they won't let you do nearly as much as some advanced graph algorithms, but the ease with which you can use it in your operational data store is amazing. And with proper indexing, I could do a traversal in hundreds of milliseconds.

It could also be assumed that students would learn this on their own time. You can see similarities in other areas - personal finance, taxes, and cooking are all essential skills, but are rarely taught in schools.

One argument for this is that, because these skills have plenty of publicly accessible resources and are relatively simple, students can be expected to learn them on their own. More complex subjects (ie, calculus, biology, etc) should be reserved for school, as students are unlikely to learn those on their own time, without a teacher / mentor.
