Why Humans Fight
> How did you develop your listening skill?

By being rational -- the following method works well for me. YMMV.

I reframe this problem as: Always assume the other person's limbic system has been activated; what will it take to calm their limbic system?

I do not have the exact source handy, but IIRC it can take any time from 15 minutes to 4 hours. From experience, I concluded that the only rational moves during that time are:

* Listening (the feeling of company and support)

* Pleasant sensory stimulations, for example:

- Scent: hot tea, fresh fruit

- Touch (only when appropriate): pat on the shoulder/arm, hand-holding, hugs

In contrary, during that time, any move that requires the other person's prefrontal cortex functions (planning, decision-making, abstract thinking, etc.) is almost always a wasted effort. (So don't make this type of irrational moves.)

> Most men can train their entire lives and will never have the skill at chess José Capablanca had when he was six, simply from watching others play the game.

This is a massive exaggeration. There's no way it's true.

> Just as an average man cannot ever reach the level that chess grandmasters had when they were 8 years old, even if he trained for his entire life.

I found the results of the world chess championship 2018 U10. [1] The best ones of the 10-year-old kids here are rated slightly higher than 2000 elo. And 8-year-old ones play significantly worse. (Also with the Internet these kids have access to all the knowledge in the world and typically have top coaches which Capablanca hadn't.) Do you really think it's impossible to reach 1900-2000 fide for an average man who trains the entire life?

I think when you're worth 192 million to begin with you can afford to have a rosy outlook not imaginable by many other first-time founders.

It should be easy to grow exponentially from there until you reach the ceiling of your available opportunity. The only reason I could see for embracing outside investment would be to further accelerate the growth, plus pursue additional opportunities, and share the resulting wealth.

In all fairness your employees would all be shareholdrs no differently than your investors.

I would assume your employees will be paid decently in addition to their generous share of the company.

Otherwise your _employees_ will be needing some serious dividends to make ends meet or else their substantial ownership will not do things like feed a family along the way to a liquidity event.

Which is also a possible approach.

The world is your oyster when you've got 192 million, even if it was just in US currency.

Regardless, if you want to maintain certain control of no less than 51 percent of shares, you would be limiting the company to no more than 96 employees otherwise they will then own more than half by themselves. And you even less if there were outside investors, so it would have to be scaled judiciously depending on how you want to allocate the initial 192 million.

And of course each employee would have to be worth over 2 million to the company from start to finish or it would not be sustainable.

Also I think your parents should be entitled to a better deal than Andreessen Horowitz.

>Do you know of any other companies that have taken alternative/different approaches in the past?

Bernie Madoff founded a company which had an alternative approach, but it turned out to be not that much different than other rosy-picture practicioners who were always quite questionable.

There's a big difference between actually having aggregated wealth versus just paper that looks like it is so.

AWS is definitely the leader. But Microsoft Azure is giving them a run for their money, and is stealing away a lot of the big clients. Azure is adding new products quickly and adding features to existing products to stay competitive with AWS. I've noticed that Azure seems to be much more "focused" than AWS. Meaning that AWS has a lot of random/niche services. Azure doesn't compete against these, but focuses on being ultra-competitive in the core services that enterprise customers really want. And I do think AWS execs are spending a lot of time talking about Azure and trying to keep the competitive edge. I don't think AWS execs are spending much energy worrying about GCP.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a bit of a joke. I really don't think it is all that competitive. Its trying to stay caught up and they do offer a lot of similar services. But their documentation is all over the place. Their service administration is a disaster. You can tell that each product is built by separate teams that only meet together once a quarter over Zoom. Its very disjointed. GCP is definitely trying to play catch-up. That isn't to say that you couldn't build a powerful platform ontop of GCP, many respectable companies are doing it. Discord is one that comes to mind that is (or at least was...) built entirely on GCP. I don't want to say it is shit. But its not as cohesive as Azure and AWS.

Basically AWS and Azure are the two core competitors. I really think that in practical (non-niche, using core services) they are neck and neck. GCP is in the race, but definitely lagging behind the others.

This is definitely an important thing that more people, especially tech people, should keep in mind. However, this doesn't really apply in all situations, and I actually disagree about the example which you give.

When someone shares a problem with you, you may want to ask yourself two questions to evaluate whether you should give advice:
1. Can you suggest any action that the other person wouldn't already have taken if it were feasible? This isn't necessarily limited to you being a subject matter expert, it also includes situations where personal or interpersonal factors are at play: for example, when the person you're talking to is very shy or reluctant to formulate clear demands, empowering them to talk to their manager can be very beneficial. On the other hand, if they already are a person who feels very comfortable with meetings and social situations, they will likely already have considered the option and decided that it won't help, so you're adding nothing useful.
2. Is the problem at hand highly emotional, or is there something else suggesting that solving it right now is crass? For example, if your coworker told you that the family dog died, she's probably not looking for advice on funeral arrangements.

So, what it comes down to in the end is considering the context. Some people might be very happy to receive advice, and might be very thankful in the long run if you encourage them to talk to their manager about a career step they have been meaning to take. Even then, of course, compassion is never misplaced, and people will always be thankful if you show understanding for how the problem troubles them emotionally as well. If you want to encourage a shy person to have a conversation, you shouldn't pressure them. And so on.

The question raised is specifically about the inevitability of the unification that actually happened in 1871 and 1990, not about any idea of larger German state. The article does not mention language at all as far as I can see, nor cultural connections.

Overall this article not really answering anything, though. The answers are t0o high level and short to treat the subject seriously.
How was it a disaster?

When West Germany merged with East the impact upon GDP wasn't dramatic and it was a democratic choice.

Indeed it went so well, I dare say it was a motivator towards more integration within the EU and will say the EU went on a pokemon phase not long after in member growth. Which even the EU phrases as "Re-unification of Europe" https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/policy/from-6...

So the re-unification of Germany had many aspects too it that get overlooked.

"al dente" isn't really a quality _part_ of a piece of pasta can have. If the whole thing is al dente... that's just undercooked.

The entire appeal of cooking it that way is having the variance in texture in the same piece. It absolutely makes sense to design a pasta shape that optimizes for that. In fact a lot of pasta shapes already do, whether or not it was intentional.
> asset inflation in stock

I disagree somewhat with calling it "asset inflation." Base salaries in tech have also been rising, and while I can buy that the S&P 500 might be inflated up to 50%, big tech stocks have gone up a lot faster, and it's been driven by fundamentals. Just compare their earnings to 10 years ago. Annoyingly, there isn't a comparison to the S&P 500. Palo Alto home price increases look a lot more like that than Bitcoin.

I agree with this. I think design has a serious principle-agent problem.

A beautiful design will live forever on your personal portfolio, but no one can directly experience usability there. So designers are fighting competing incentives to do what’s right for this product, and what’s right for their professional image. I think this is partly the cause for trend toward stylish-but-less-useable.

Basically many mentioned everyone will know the Monalisa in Louvre is the original one or the starwars characters are owned by Disney.. Well the reason everyone knows that is because all those names built an outstanding brand and that's why everyone know the name "DISNEY who was the first creator of this NFT is a real deal. Same goes for watch market (Rolex, AP, RM &...)

So in the case that I save an image of unknown artist and put it in the blockchain and create a new NFT, considering that the artist behind the art is MR.NOBODY. Then who the hell can find out the real work was NOT done by Me until MR.NOBODY BECOME MR.SOMOBODY and find out about the fraud.

Keep in mind the date the NFT was created can't necessarily be a validation point alone since the date is only obvious when people got to know MR.NOBODY. (in other word, MR.NOBODY built a successful brand and became MR.SOMEBODY).

Any counter arguments which can help me and others to understand the scenario better ?

Unlike Excel, AI truly can deliver a competitive advantage when used judiciously. In the right situation, it can deliver that small catalytic boost that lets you see just a little farther than before. And incremental advancement is the basis for almost all scientific or commercial advancement.

That said, deep CNNs and LSTMs have delivered only a fairly narrow set of catalytic advancements to date, even fewer of which have changed the status quo in big businesses, where R&D ROI really adds up. Accurately identifying the next use of AI that will meaningfully move the needle is beyond hard.

But hasn't that always been true of all forms of innovation? That's why so many are keen on AI today; as hard as it is to wield, it still seems to be the sharpest arrow in our quiver.

I would disagree with calling "ethereum" the fork. But even accepting that premise, it's still an example where exactly one version gets to live, and the one made by a group of average people is the one that died. There is effectively no forking allowed, and implementing a fork of bitcoin is just a slipshod alternative to BIPs.
Absolutely - tone of voice matters a lot.

Oh, that _heathen._ There are better ways of disposing of unwanted books; a classifieds listing advertising them as being free if they’re all taken in one go would have been even easier than burning them.

One does not burn books. That’s just _evil._

Personally the issue hasn’t been financing because you can get outside financing to fund any renovations already.

What I want is an intermediary that takes the money and acts as an escrow and only gives the contractor payment once observable metrics have been completed, e.g. bathroom was completed with permits pulled and inspection done by the city; 4/4 recessed lights installed per agreement, etc.

In my experience the biggest issue for contractors and homeowners is one party not living up to their end of the agreement.

In other words I want to be able to write a contract like code and want guarantees about what I’m paying for. If and when unexpected things happen they should’ve already been explicitly discussed in the contract.

3. They then go on to disable your actual recovery options that they've deemed "less secure".

I recently tried to sign on to my grandfathered Gapps account to reset its activity timeout (Google demands I perform the account recovery process for every login). This time, Google decided I couldn't authenticate with my longstanding recovery email, instead demanding that I use some long cleared browser/tablet session (lol, such surveillance culture assumptions).

I was eventually able to contact what appeared to be a real live human in GSuite support that took on my case even though it was a free account (after going a few rounds of them referring me to gmail account support, and gmail support bot referring me back to them). So believe it or not, it is possible to contact a human at Google.

Of course after I got the grandfathered Gapps account back, I was trying to figure out what it's actually good for, especially now that they've restricted adding domain names. The only things I could find are if I wanted to use gmail on my personal domain (no thanks), or if I want my published Google identity to include my own domain name (shrug). So back into storage it goes, this time with an explicit "2FA" tablet.
