Did I capture the sentiment of the hacker new crowd fully or did I miss anything?
Perfect usage metrics. Store staff spends 35hr per week using my software in a ~7 employee per shift setting. No churn.
Bootstrapped past $100k ARR on my own, just onboarded a co-founder.
This should have been retaliation of the western world years ago.
But.
The described use cases have homogenous workloads. Hence simple architecture. Extrapolate the rest.
And of course there are for sure cases of people increasing complexity for the sake of being needed. That's a topic for sociologists/psychologists to reason about, not for engineers.
This thread is in the midst of discussion of a public person tortured for 3 years and murdered and the whole country knows that.
What authorities are you talking about? It's criminals upon criminals.
Humanity must ensure that an individual has the way to realize their potential. Freedom to raise and freedom to fall.
The internet changed everything. The information flowing freely and allowing critical thinkers to get out of a swamp they found themselves in. At least this gives everyone a chance to see.
The other thing is immigration. Your case about the US is thankfully different because one can get on a car and leave to another state or urban area. It's not as easy to get out of russia. Get a visa first. Maybe. If you have education and fit into a category. Do not fit? Too bad, there are great places like Kazakhstan that are available though.
How can an individual have both the critical thinking and still have the gut to contribute to this?
I grew up in rural russia. It's much much worse than what you see on the facade. My neighbour was a police man. His 15 years boy raped a kid from local orphanage and captured it on a video. No justice followed, because his dad is a policeman. No one spoke up. Everyone just accepted it, as they always do. When he grew up he became a policeman. It's not even the most screwed up story that I witnessed. This is beyond fucked up.
It's a case of mass inheritable PTSD. All males I knew in my family tree were violent drunks, all females were bitten up housewives. This place is surreal and should not exist. And my family was somewhat functional compared to some neighbours.
I abandoned everything there and got out as soon as I could make any money. I wish every person capable of critical thinking just leave this dreadful place and let it descend to the middle ages.
If we consider our consciousness to be a narrative that is based on our life experiences, then a more realistic method would be to voice-record your unfiltered emotional sincere thoughts for 30 minutes a day for a 1-5 years.
That should be enough to simulate your consciousness: - it contains the signal of what bothers you - it contains the signal of what psychological problems you have - it contains the signal of your emotional state whether it's caused by hormones or objective events - it contains the signal of what you know about the world
