If resolutions were so powerful, why not have monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly resolutions? Imagine the things we could accomplish if all it took was to attach a goal to a discrete unit of time. My new day resolution is to get some more sleep.
How do you plan on shipping every day, being more accountable, and staying focused when you take enough time off to visit 6 different countries in one year? Sounds like resolution #6 should be to stop bullshitting yourself.
Why do bottom gay men walk like women? But then again bottom gays appear to socially imitate a number of behaviors that are biologically optimized for women like voice, gait, and body language.
They also benefit from a healthy trade surplus thanks to Globalization boosting their manufacturing and labor exports while getting away with being highly protectionist when it comes to domestic production.
Their authoritarian government is nimble and decisive when it comes to implementing policy and they have no loyalty to any one economic or political philosophy. The Chinese are just really good at playing the game, the rest of the world is years behind.
Western Liberals have lower self esteem, a less optimistic outlook, and an overall lower level of satisfaction with life that shapes their world-views [1]. Research indicates that it's not so much that they believe there's not going to be a future, they just don't expect their own futures to get any better and transitively, they are unable to conceive a world that gets better over time.
Except no-one's paying for it. It's a useless product solving a problem few people have. It's a hardware company with no margin for error that will die an expensive death. I have done and built things and profited immensely from them. When you get defensive over valid criticism that isn't even directed at you, it shows that you're the one that will never get there. Even so, I've never charged 1000% margin for so little value added.
I have never felt this fear. If the furniture doesn't go together then it's IKEA's fault and I'm sending it back. They've failed in their UX design. IKEA furniture needs to be easy enough for the common denominator to assemble, it's a significant part of their brand value.
I hadn't heard of the company Sense before I read about this blog. I looked up their product... 300 bucks, are you kidding me? And it requires licensed installation on top of that, so maybe even more in labor. Who's buying this stuff and how is their margin defensible from Tesla or somebody selling Raspberry Pi kits for $25?
Not to mention if your only competitive advantage is price, there always is or will be a source of labor that is cheaper than you. For example, a number of startups I work with are now moving their IT support and basic dev to the Philippines. The quality of work is equally bad or worse, but it's even cheaper than India and the language barrier is comparable.
The quotes you provided in the article weren't clear on this: did you mean to say that some of these companies don't deserve funding or that it would be a better choice for them to continue to grow and operate without raising capital?
Wow imagine a UBI concept that has a barrier to entry dependent on one's merit and qualifications and stipulates that the recipient contributes a certain number of hours per week to a pursuit that generates a positive economic input. This is a brilliant idea, if only somebody had come up with this earlier.
Aren't the pictures of Donald Trumps "thicc ass" attempting to climb a hill while playing golf considered sexual objectification, harassment, profaning somebody’s personal space in a public context, and a denigration of late-manhood?
One's a cartoon depiction, another is a real photograph taken without consent. Why would they take down the former but leave the latter to proliferate?
Yes, let's wait until after the holidays so at least 1 month has passed before we publicize the breach, that will surely get the consumers to understand where we're coming from.
I would like to hire you as VP of Public Relations for my company.
Not to mention there are an infinite number of 5 minute tutorials on YouTube. You don't have to be trained, you just need a set of eyes and a brain. I'm glad an increasing number of phone manufacturers, not just Apple, put form factor and durability above user laziness.
I think it's because such a small percentage of competing applicants are likely to have substantial projects anyway, you may as well focus on the common denominator of the interview, which are the data structures and algorithms questions.
If you look at the traffic data, part of that is the growing proportion of users from the EU and India. The EU is a continent suffering from pandemic stockholm syndrome and Indians are not likely to be a fan of anything that keeps them from a green card.
I would say less than 30% of HN posters are professional programmers/engineers. Most are 20-something unemployed wantrepeneurs from Reddit and the remaining minority are academics/scientists/doctors/financiers.
What's the right-wing counterpart to Shareblue? I have never seen something equivalent to the effectiveness of modern "grassroots" messaging campaigns sponsored by certain democratic chessmasters. The fact that full-time protester is now a decently paid and socially acceptable job is incredible.
