I think the feedback should be taken with a cool head. You need to:

1. Ask yourself "why am I reading the feedback at all?" Is this because I am just curious or is it because I want to learn something actionable that will benefit myself?

2. Is reacting emotionally going to help? We teach kids to not react too emotionally at school but then we oftentimes can't do the same as adults.

3. Why would the other person give you negative feedback? Is the reason stated in the feedback or is there some underlying cause (you started on a wrong foot, he/she doesn't like you, etc.)

4. Are the things in the feedback something that you can fix directly or indirectly? There is no need to worry about things that are outside your influence.

5. Are the things in the feedback something that you want to fix? Somebody gave me the feedback that I program slowly (I am developer). I actually do it on purpose and the person lacks the experience to understand why. Of course, no need to point it out loud. On the other hand, I can think how to improve the message.

6. Is there anything you can think of that can benefit yourself? Use feedback as a potential trigger to do some potentially deep thinking about yourself. I sometimes benefit from feedback in ways that would be very difficult to directly link with the feedback itself -- it just happened to start a fortuitous line of thought.

7. Always thank for feedback, whatever it is. Tell people you value the fact they came to you and that you need to think what you are going to do with this. Tell people that in the future, you would like them to continue coming to you if they have any more feedback. Don't get defensive and ABSOLUTELY NEVER get hostile.

It is a little bit of process I go through every time I receive feedback.
Why does this, of all things, have to be electric? It's a wing suit. They're basically strap-on death. Their glide ratio is somewhere between a really bad plane and a brick, they're unusable in any shape or form for real transportation. They could've had gone with a jet or even a rocket engine and it wouldn't have made the thing more dangerous or less green or anything.

Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I don't really see what they were seeing when they made this.

This study demonstrates only that the 60 participants in it are suggestible.

1. All participants in the study had previously been on statins and had stopped taking statins because they experienced side effects. Any results obtained from this study are not generalizable.

2. They did not separate the participants into groups. There was no control. A better design might be to have 1/3 of the group take actual statins for 12 months, 1/3 take a placebo, and 1/3 take nothing.

Nah, China will dominate because we the western world have at least some scruples and decided that economic growth must not come with complete disregard for worker safety or environmental concerns. But for some reason, if we just pay China to slave drive their people and pollute on our behalf, then it’s ok.

Please tell me why you think I’m wrong.

While I don't disagree with your remarks, I'm curious whom you're educating here and why; parent post makes no statements about controller/view/service/repository responsibilities, only that something very often needs to exist between frontend and backend to mediate, filter, enrich, and so on.

Yeah, the bonding process seems like immersion when learning a language, I figure that the handler's lost all connection to that unique world they were immersed in and couldn't cope. Kind of like losing your self identification when people rely on their jobs to give them an identity. Who are the handlers without the Neo Dogs?
The regret you feel having lost a year would probably pale in comparison to the lifelong regret at not having tried to achieve your dream.

There's plenty more positives you can take from this experience.

1. You learned how crippling your social anxiety can be (perhaps you already knew?), so maybe you can take some steps to work on that.

2. The door of indie developer is now firmly closed, which means you can explore new possibilities (whatever they may be), with wholehearted commitment not distracted by the siren's call.

3. You learned just how supportive your partner is. They stuck with you and are still with you. That's gotta be a good thing right?
A definition of "free trade" that excludes the kinds of things free trade treaties typically do just doesn't seem very helpful for describing the world.

You really think the wealth of fiat currency is from seigniorage?

For a better measure of understanding how economies are operating, look at GDP (PPP).
I'd like to offer a counterpoint to starting a billion dollar startup, instead of trying your best to be a billionaire - you can pursue multiple small bets that can pay you better than your current full time job. That way you don't have to sacrifice your interests for financial independence.

I spent the last 2 years working on a research heavy startup that I felt would change game development forever, it was hard from an engineering, research, marketing and sales standpoint.

Late into the second year I started to feel burnt out and decided instead to write a robotics textbook which got way more attention to both myself and my project in about 2 months worth of work than 2 years did. This then got me to take Twitter a bit more seriously in terms of making friends, peers that I can easily see turn into collaborators or customers in the future. Sort of an audience first approach as opposed to product first approach. Tools like Twitter, Medium and Substack make this approach a lot more feasible today.

I even remember having a sort of disdain for freelancing because I thought it didn't scale whereas if I did pursue it more seriously I'd imagine I'd have had more direct solo enterprise sales experience, met more clients, figured out what their problems were and solving them instead of imagining an ideal where game developers would solve their problems like I wanted them to. Seeing my savings decrease every month took a mental toll on me, I figured there would be a light at the end of the tunnel and I essentially feel like I miscalibrated my goals. Instead of trying to build a billion dollar startup, I should have spent more time figuring out how to never need a job ever again.

The benefits of the multiple small bets approach is that when you're wrong it doesn't cost you 2 years of your life, you're less fragile to sudden decreases in income from one small bet, you don't have a boss, pandemics don't affect you, you choose your peers and hours etc.. Making your first few dollars online (not from a paycheck) changes you, makes a you a lot better at pursuing opportunities when they happen.

After COVID hit I started looking for a job again and my interviewing experience was very interesting to say the least. I described very honestly my failures and startups loved my story and appreciated my openness - bigger companies on the other hand essentially told me that well your startup didn't work out so you must be lazy and dumb. The outcome is what determines if I'm a good founder or not but it was really painful being lectured by people who had never taken a risk in their lives.

I see so many founders dreaming of huge companies going towards IPO when I can see solo founder companies being a lot happier if they pursued multiple small bets instead. You can't hedge your life over multiple billion dollar startups with a 1% chance of working out but you can certainly hedge it over multiple small bets each with a 10-30% chance of success. What's good for the aggregate or society isn't necessarily what is best for you.

OOoooh.

Yeah that makes sense. Better to sell shares of your SaaS company at 40x revenue and let your customers and investors lob the con man sentiment at you. Survivorship bias breeds this behavior :)

It's significantly less substantial than CPTPP is.

There is little of harmonization except clarifying some rules of origin issues https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/roi_e/roi_info_e.htm

It contains some tariff removals. Tariffs have lost importance relative to other issues because they are already relatively low. The world has gone trough nine rounds of GATT and is on 10th.

I think this signals that ASEAN countries are willing to play China and the US against each other in trade.
The main issue seems to be improper communication and process between the frontend/backend devs. The informal solution is to agree on something like a swagger doc. The proposed solution is to expose all the fields. I'd be careful on this as unwanted fields could be unecessarily exposed. A workaround addition to this is to make a blacklist filter of fields to not expose before sending and send everything else as a passthrough.

Nobody has any faith in the Chinese stock market and the ability of the market to find efficient prices.

The entire Chinese banking system is essentially bankrupt.

Chinese companies are forced to accept suboptimal business decisions to further CCP goals.

In spite of the incredible inventiveness of the Chinese people, companies in China outside of PCB-level board assembly are weak and uncompetitive, having been the beneficiaries of government protectionism (how many countries use Baidu for example).

Except for a video-sharing website for teenage girls.

And a network switch manufacturer that is subsidized and owned by the government.

And the population is getting old before it gets rich, with no social safety net.

What does fiat currency even mean in a closed society? Is China solvent or not? What can we say about government debt when private banks are forced to make bad loans at the government’s request? And what can lenders expect back when the government doesn’t respect private property?
worried about india or the agreement?
Let's be honest, 90% of E. European were oppressed/repressed themselves. Unless you were in the 5% communist party elite, your life under communism was full of oppression everywhere.

'Race Relation' are a luxury of wealthier western countries. When you are struggling for food/heat/shelter yourself, it is hard to worry about other's problems.

I think it will take at least one more generation for things to slowly change.

Ask HN: Who is disrupting the manufacturing/logistics space?
With the pandemic, it became apparent that a lot of our manufacturing was tied to a single or very few international sources.

With the interruption of that single source due to the virus, we suddenly found that lots of goods that would normally be in abundance were suddenly scarce or impossible to find.

Even when domestic shipping, factory, and similar employees were allowed to go back to work, we found that so much of our supply chain was inexorably tied to international sources that we still could not deliver many of the crucial supplies we needed.

It seems apparent that there is a _strong_ opportunity here for anyone who wants to help companies move their supply chain domestically, or even possibly automate it away from cheap labor abroad to machines. There's also plenty of opportunity for companies to diversify their supply chain, so that any one point of failure doesn't jeopardize the rest of the chain.

Who is currently trying to build solutions in this space?

Do you have a startup that you're working on here? What are the challenges you're facing? What makes your solution better?

If you're at a larger company, what industry trends are you noticing with respect to this? What solutions do you seek/are you presenting in-house?
I am skeptical. I think people like Koch have been fanning the flames for a long time, only to now see that the monster rose up and threatens to eat them. They'd like to put the genie back in the bottle, but it's too late for that.
Can you elaborate more on this? Are you familiar with implementation of engines like Thymeleaf or Jackson, for example?

It definitely is the culture of some of them. I'm in a country with social security, but there are groups of them in organized begging (also stealing by word of shop owners, but that is less visible to non-shop owners)'. I wouldn't claim "they" are all like that, but unfortunately the beggars are the most visible group.
The organized begging definitely is a kind of culture that family members grow into.
Then add that affect lol. In production you don't just apply one filter and be done with it, and you don't just apply the filter evenly, you want to layer mask and add something dynamic to it. A proper tutorial won't tell you about all the other filters, just the one specific effect it is talking about.
I believe DMCA also applies to circumvention tools.

I don't personally agree that youtube-dl is a circumvention tool since all it does is emulate what your browser does anyway, but I presume that is the argument.
Are these way safer than say the base jumping type wing suits?

Obviously they're powered so they're different, but I remember a lot of wing suit debates where even professionals felt that the envelope between 'safe' and disaster on wing suits was way too small for even professionals to use. A lot of that seem to have to do with the jumper's sense of how stable they are / compared to how stable they actually are and how that could get way off at times and even pro's weren't able to manage them well enough.
The issue with term limits is that it gives a potential perception of bias related to whatever they do when they leave.

An example of this is in agencies like the FTC, where people leave the regulator and end up in well paid jobs in the companies they are supposed to be regulating. Even if there was no bias in their decision making people point to it and it undermines confidence in the system.

I had a negative knee-jerk reaction to your comment and I will attempt to explain myself here. I am not claiming this is how you meant your comment: What you wrote really reminds me of the "we should be colorblind and that will fix American racism" argument. However implicit biases are a thing and past damage does not get fixed by simply being colorblind (rather it festers). Similarly, your comment sounds like "just do not be racist" is a trivial thing to do, while usually subscribing to that view just makes you more susceptible to your own biases that you are unaware of. Very active thought is required to avoid in-tribe knee-jerk behavior. Maybe it is easy for you, but then I claim you are underestimating how difficult it is for others, even when they are well-meaning.
agreed. it’s a non-profit with some gov’t funding, but major donors and sponsors (advertisers), along with competitive pressures from other national media, hold significant sway over their (im-)partiality. it’s concentrated capital again using our heads and hearts to hoard more money and power for themselves.

> Stop? Nope. Vastly reduce reliance? Yep. Remove all subsidy to this mode of transit? Yes.

We agree

You make an important point, the exact one that makes me doubtful that EV transition should be subsidized, again.

EV incentives will go to the same actors that created these conditions and is going to pay for the same infrastructure that made our cities a living hell.

Instead of banning cars, remove the need to use them.

Instead of subsidize car makers, subsidize the rethinking of the entire mobility plans

If people won't need cars, they won't use them

If people feel that they invested in new "safe" EV cars, even the young people who show no love for cars (not wrongfully) will start using them, because they are new, they are modern, they are safe and probably smell good too and for sure they signal that you care about the environment, so you won't keep them hidden in the garage, you'll use them as much as you can (also to maximize the investment)

Which will bring us to the same point we are now: much of the cities public real estate is eaten by roads and parkings while walking is disincentivized because everything useful, from IKEA to the shoe shop, are in some giant mall out of town unreachable without a car

We need to get rid of cars as a social need, EV or not, it is a really bad habit to rely on them other than for fun and the occasional emergency
I don't really see how trying to find a way to sacrifice one's cushy job and income instead of free time is "having your cake and eating it too"
Real talk:

Doses of radioactive elements from high atmosphere Nuclear weapons testing persist in trace amounts in all living things on Earth today. Dispersal of radioactive elements would be faster and point source radioactivity thereby reduced by that due to the nature of the medium into which it was released and the very short duration of the release.

Fukushima because it lacks these characteristics.

Blow up all the shit you want.. nuclear energy (when it fails, and every failure is too often) is way more disruptive then nuclear weapons. Evidence? See Nagasaki today vs Pripyat today.
