Ask him! I bet he has a lot of the critical insight about what works best for him. (Maybe he's already expressing it?) And I also bet that asking him is the correct first step to integrating the insight he doesn't have. And I bet the fine details matter.

  "when Leonardo painted the portrait of Ginevra de Benci in 
  the National Gallery, he put a juniper bush behind her head. 
  In it he carefully painted each individual leaf. Many 
  painters might have thought, this is just something to put 
  in the background to frame her head. No one will look that 
  closely at it.

  Not Leonardo. How hard he worked on part of a painting 
  didn't depend at all on how closely he expected anyone to 
  look at it. He was like Michael Jordan. Relentless.

  Relentlessness wins because, in the aggregate, unseen 
  details become visible. When people walk by the portrait of 
  Ginevra de Benci, their attention is often immediately 
  arrested by it, even before they look at the label and 
  notice that it says Leonardo da Vinci. All those unseen 
  details combine to produce something that's just stunning, 
  like a thousand barely audible voices all singing in tune."

We all experience levels of communication that go beyond sufficient or effective. There's probably a zone of virtuosity that's hard to get to but invaluable if achieved where his way of communicating best is obviously neither defective nor deficient but uniquely, non-fungibly, performant and contributive. I feel unlocking unaccessed virtuosity is the key to achieving the truly apex outcomes we all want.

Kudos to you for striving to be inclusive!

EDIT check this out:

  "Benefit: More opportunities for quiet voices
  In many teams there are a combination of voices, some 
  quieter and some more assertive. Having this diversity on a 
  team is really beneficial, but can make it hard for everyone 
  to be heard. Quiet voices can find it harder to find a space 
  to interject their thoughts, or prefer to take time to think 
  about their response before communicating it, risking the 
  topic ending before the thought is shared.

  Text communication doesn’t discriminate against this 
  difference in communication style. Everyone can share their 
  ideas at their own pace, and the reader never knows how long 
  it might have taken to put thoughts into words. There’s no 
  waiting for turns, and order is more often determined by who 
  is online when, and what time in their schedule they have 
  blocked out for messages."

Not all institutions are subject to "local laws".


Rose. Don't be so down on yourself. Maybe you're just on the brink of blossoming.

You just need to do it! It's not the models and theories of phase change— it's the phase change. And perhaps you shouldn't be pursuing all the things you think you lack. Do you feel the work you have done is meaningful? It's not yet having the impact you'd like??

Abraham attracted many followers but they were not all inheritors of his mantle and his mission. They were not all loyal to the mission he passed down. Does that mean that he was not successful? Of course not, he's the most successful of the patriarchs because his success includes Yitzchak's and Yaakov's success.

Your post does not seem to consider the creation of money which is a contemporary issue: cuz #crypto.

Maybe you should be making money. Literally creating money instead of trying to "make money".

If you're familiar with the process of titration and the cornucopia of similar processes it must build up and up until the process reaches the point of phase change — and then: the titrating step.

It's obvious why people give up along the way.

But for those who stay and do not sway: night can turn to day.

EDIT: maybe the key is to intensify, like when striking a match— to light a fire. Intensify into a spark, you have ample kindling!

Most of all wild humans!



Is this usage pattern not common in your English? It's quite common in mine and is accepted by pretty much everyone without batting an eye, except, maybe, only maybe, some English instructors.

Where are you from?


Either way works for me, but "The missing continent that it took 375 years to find" might be suitable for everyone.


You should also post on the arc forum which shares code with HN: http://arclang.com/forum

They're both written in arc by pg: http://www.arclanguage.org/


fwiw, the version of the forum forked over there (Anarki) no longer uses the table layout. But that codebase has no direct relationship at all to the one used in HN.


My understanding is that the arc forum doesn't run on anarki, it runs on arc 3.2 pg's last release.


Were you unaware that the founder of Zoom is an American or are you implying that the company is Chinese despite that?


Nobody implied this. Clearly stated was the concern of the majority of development being in the PRC impacting US government use of Keybase.


That was after the edits/updates.


Edits and updates I made within minutes. The replies to my comment ultimately forced me to be more thoughtful in my words, resulting in me being able to better lay out my thoughts.

I specifically left my original comments in there because I don't want to pretend that I said anything perfectly right from the beginning, without the help of others.


Are you a bot?


Given the username and that it's a copy-paste of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22949500, I'm guessing some form of deliberate mockery or harassment.
