I agree with you completely on that -- but even to call them low status is in my opinion simply inaccurate. Even teachers who aren't paid well are still not "low status" like a bartender or custodian or something that would more commonly (not saying I agree because I'm not a fan of such labels..) be considered a "low status" occupation.

One of the things I appreciate about Japanese society is the fact that pretty much anyone who has a profession is proud of their profession, is paid well for it, and it's generally not considered proper to look down on someone for their position. Everyone contributes to society and that's how it should be.

Ask HN: How do you deal with customer feedback?
Hi guys! I was wondering how you deal with customer feedback.

How do you manage feedback and feature requests? Is there a tool you are currently using? What framework/system do you use for prioritisation? Are there any pain points in your process?

I would really appreciate your answers.
Thanks!
My point that I was trying to make is that DNSSEC being focused on authenticating the existing DNS record data, and not on the control and protocol plane, leaves it out inside of control issues. Sure it enshrines the existing roots and the ultimate authorities for the correctness of DNS, but this is already true, and going against it means a fork of DNS in a sense which doesn’t seem like anyone really wants.
I’m in general agreement with you. If governments actually cared about ending ending oil dominance they would continually increase taxes on it to financially force consumers and industry to pursue alternatives. And then use all of those tax revenues to fund renewables, public transit, and climate repair technologies. Outside of a few countries this isn’t even close to what happens in reality. Everyone will continue to squeeze as many dollars as they can out of oil drilling until demand drops to the point where it’s no longer profitable, some number of decades in the future.
It's like cash, i frankly don't care about value either but a form of payment that is not tied to me specifically where I can exchange the money for goods and services is crucial to me. Not much different from a cash giftcard i can use to pay for things online

On a side note related to this idea, I wonder if Millenials overcompensated by going to the extreme on the opposite side of the triangle (quantity, price, quality). On Saturday I went to a beer/wine store that's in a predominately young professional/student neighborhood. When I lived in the area about 8 years ago there were maybe 20 craft beer brands. Beer came in 6-packs, and was priced at about $11-15.

Today, there's maybe 100 brands. Almost all come in 4-packs, and are priced between $15-$20.
> Ms. O’Connor is far from the only one cashing in. Hundreds of “ok boomer” products are for sale through on-demand shopping sites like Redbubble and Spreadshirt, where many young people are selling “ok boomer” phone cases, bedsheets, stickers, pins and more.

I like how one of the first reflexes when criticizing a generation of ecological catastrophes is to over-consume. Reminds my of the boomers' "Che Guevara" merchandises.
Actually this phrase started around October 15th on TikTok. The phrase’s use in related videos grew rapidly and had not existed before. It’s real sentiment.

The fault with this article is that it focuses on merchandise.

Generational names have always been created by authors to sell books. Adam "Ruins Everything" Conover did a talk at a marking conference where he pulled up old copies of Time magazine talking about the entitled baby boomers from decades ago; almost identical to the same articles about every other generation.

Generational titles were NEVER used to lift anyone up. They were used to sell books, sell newspapers/magazines, blame everything on the youth who knew nothing of hardship or some other fake-rage bullshit. The age ranges are arbitrary and the names that stick are pure chance and/or marketing.

Why is NYT referencing a moronic TikTok video anyway? Is NYT now trying to compete with Buzzfeed?

> things like pulling out of Syria to enable the Turkish murder of the Kurds to continue

That's an incredibly disingenuous take. America has no business being there in the first place, so there is nothing wrong with having US troops leave that region.

By your logic, the US is responsible of all the atrocities in the world where it doesn't have special operators acting as human shields.

Besides, your FUD is a bit dated. Kurds simply went seeking protection with Syria and Russia and in the end, not much happened.

One way is to use the BitShares model together with stop-loss orders, like this:

https://intercoin.org/economics.pdf

In order for that to happen, it has to be trading on multiple exchanges and for it to fail, all the exchanges’ stop-loss orders must fail at once.

Nothing can be pegged with absolute certainty, though, unless you liquidate everyone’s position before the peg breaks. Look at how Soros broke the Bank of England.
Good point. The eyes are wrong in FF, everything else looks almost the same though :)
Similarly, I try to add it to all my side-projects that accept payment. I looked at a few payment providers and settled on OpenNode, as they had the right mix of an easy API, quick support and good documentation, though I would like it if they supported more cryptocurrencies.

If you want cryptocurrencies to succeed, you need to make them widespread as a form of payment. I already lament Steam and Stripe removing Bitcoin support because of the rampant speculating, let's not do more of that.
If you present a problem to a government official that can be solved in a simple fashion or by a complex scheme that also grants them more power, they will go for the power every single time.

From their perspective, it’s just a bonus that they can cloud it in the sophistry of “its for public safety”.

One issue is that it's a lot of work that, in my experience, usually doesn't go anywhere. You found the problem and worked around it, gave their people what you had, but they keep asking you to try things and gather more data for 3 weeks while you're trying to get shit done.

Can't tell what point you're making, but when my brother left his job at Google our grandmother asked what that was going to do to his pension. As if companies paying pensions was still a thing.

These people grew up when a factory job could support a family of four, and companies hired people with no experience and then paid actual benefits.

Boomers benefited from very generous circumstances. To suggest they earned the postwar economic boom is laughably misguided.
>The big thing you seem to be missing is governments should be doing the will of the people, and the will is there for GenZ, but not for the Boomers.

I think the main thing you seem to be missing is that's not how it actually works. The will is there for the energy companies but not the people because energy companies pay for campaigns. Do you think boomers really want ridiculously high health care costs? At their age? Or perhaps it's the insurance companies and the AMA pushing that? Do you think people like paying tax preparation companies every year, even though the government knows what most people owe, or do you think the tax preparation industry pays for that inaction? Do you think people like getting arrested for smoking pot, or the politicians are maybe being influenced by the police and prison unions to keep that sweet, sweet paycheck coming?

When the politicians ignore the will of the people during the your generation, are you going to lay the blame on your generation as well? Will that mean your generation doesn't believe in global warming, or maybe it's something else?

I don't think those are remotely related.

Price increases may just be inflation and even 10 years ago you could find tons of craft beer stores with huge selections in cities big and small. (Beer is one of the easier small businesses to get into; still expensive but they tend to be less likely to fail if you get the consistency of batches right).

Maybe that store just decided to expand from a small selection to attract more craft beer people. That's a really freaking weird conclusion to draw over the history of one bottle shop.

> In a remote-only organization, communication is necessarily all done in a matter that's transparent and not transient like face-to-face communication. You claim doing so remotely is more difficult but do not substantiate this. You claim that face-to-face discussions are effective... for what reason? What about face-to-face communication makes this more effective? Just a bunch of unsubstantiated claims made here.

The problem is when communication are broken, you don't even know who you are supposed to talk to. In that case, I think it is quite obvious that doing it remotely is harder than if everybody is on the same building.

> If remote were the norm you could easily make this same claim about the lone on-premise team whose communication is isolated from the rest of the organization.

That's correct, the problem is the same. It has been my experience that as soon as things go south in a company, you have a vast advantage if you and your team work in HQ. It has almost always been my experience that the projects that got the most pull politically (and hence resources) were the one pushed by managers in HQ, or with an existing strong relationship that was created... by being at HQ.

> Again, assuming remote was the norm your claims make no sense. It would be trivial to see how much workers were communicating with each other in a remote team.

You are the first manager I have met who claims this is trivial, remote or not.

Also contributing probably is the rising risk that if you don't pump that oil as fast as possible and sell it now, you might never be able to sell it. This is weighing on the Saudi Aramco IPO. Although probably not as much as the general opaque and untrustworthy reports from the Saudis as to how much oil they have left.

We used to worry about peak oil, where a supply crunch would cause the price to skyrocket. Now it's clear it will end in a whimper with demand just trailing off until only the very cheapest producers are still in the market. Too bad Canada, Brazil.

It's a good thing to be clear, and can't happen fast enough.

I suspect we as a society need new legislation to deal with these sort of issues. Before, much of this was incredibly difficult to impossible so legislation and regulation was entirely avoidable and relatively rare occurence could be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

At this point, technology has enabled this sort of behavior at mass scale, now revealing far more personal and useful information about individuals.

A feasible model to work from may be go look at the healthcare industry and HIPPA requirements/liabilities and adapt as needed. Certainly not perfect but it's a good starting point for widespread data laws.

The question is, will our representatives actually give teeth to real data protection legislation (not a facade with no teeth only enacted by name) in the US or are they too deeply in bed with industry that they'll protect business rights over real people who suffer real direct damages.
I could use the exact same argument to propose banning Americans from GitLab. I'd also have much better empirical grounds for doing so, given how much is known about the extent of US espionage.

There's a growing hysteria in the US about China, which is leading to increasing signs of discrimination and harassment of Chinese people in the US. This sort of demonization of an entire country and the politics behind it (preservation of the US as the world's dominant power by containing China) are very dangerous. The thing that makes it most disturbing is the way people across the political spectrum have bought into the idea of the Yellow Peril, and are now okay with discriminatory policies, the trade war, and challenging Chinese territorial sovereignty.

Is it any different for stock exchange / company news though? It's all written with an agenda, even the time of publication matters. Bloomberg is a party that tries to be neutral in that regard, but even there, whoever gets and absorbs the news the fastest will have an edge over the rest of the market.

Anyway it's neither here nor there what the research says to be honest; there's major, wealthy players that see (saw?) an opportunity in crypto, pumped up the price (if it happened via Tether then it was via freely generated, pre-mined coins), then gradually cashed out again but in real dollars this time from the somewhat lagging "plebs" who wanted to follow the upwards rollercoaster.

>Not even argentinians, that just buy as many dollars they can.

A friend from Argentina was lamenting to me that's not very much after new currency controls were imposed through December.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/argentina-el...

On Monday, the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina moved to limit the amount of dollars that can be purchased to stanch large outflows of foreign reserves from the country and keep the peso steady, according to Al Jazeera.
Dollar purchases are now restricted to $200 per month via bank accounts and $100 per month in cash until December. It's a huge cut from the $10,000 limit and currency controls imposed in September to protect the economy following the August primary election, where a surprise sweep by Fernandez sent Argentina's stocks, bonds, and currency sliding.
Partly because some cities have no-ride zones where scooters and bikes are banned outright or supposed to be speed limited.

The boardwalks in some CA cities fall into this category. You can ride in the street parallel at whatever speed you want. But on the boardwalk, you're capped at X mph (usually <10mph, if I'm remembering correctly).

Yes, the city could just use traffic enforcement to issue tickets. But, I'm inclined to have software enforcement and not hire more traffic cops.

I’m not familiar with that. I’m familiar with the notion that social media giants should behave more like utilities, but that view is based on the sheer volume of speech that they can manipulate even to manipulate our democracies. However, even that view is not ubiquitous here. The other meme that is more widely held that seems similar to what you are describing is support for net neutrality, which again asks private ISPs to behave as utilities, but for different reasons than those given for social media giants.
> China has always had double standards. They make it hell for U.S companies to do business there

Here we go. "CCP is bad and China is bad, so every Chinese is bad". This kind of logic is not very healthy, it just like saying "Google(Or insert any company here) is bad, let's punish their employees", it will hurt those employees (way) more than it hurt Google.

Put the story into context, if Chinese engineers cannot find a job oversea, they will probably go back to China and contribute to a Chinese company that operate under CCP's rule. Will that be a good thing for you eventually?

I bet CCP is also counting on the rising nationalism in the US as well, to drive Chinese engineers back home with their valuable knowledge.
