Yet another regulation to control people. Taking your freedom away one law at a time...
Can't imagine what life in 2050 will look like. By that point, you will have a mandated government inspector living in your home to make sure you comply
Its pretty clear at this point that people want this kind of control implemented, its in the ”zeitgeist”. I have not figured out why, but it does seem that people are more scared then ever.
Its a bit weird on HN where people generally understand this problem regarding privacy, but in other topics like this one they act like the general populace ”put the speeders in jail!”
The cost of browsers not having extremely-basic things that they either started to implement then abandoned in a nigh-useless state (login, frames) or never even tried to have but really, really should have once it was clear "web apps" were here to stay (datasource-backed lists and tables, table sorting without more custom JS than a sort function, drag-n-drop) is truly enormous. Who knows how many millions of person-hours.
Niceboard is a founder-led, profitable & bootstrapped B2B SaaS startup. We are the preferred job board software for hundreds of organizations (associations/non-profits/staffing companies etc...) running white-label job boards. We've paid out over $2MM in job post earnings to our customers and helped thousands of candidates find jobs and hundreds of employers hire great talent.
I'm looking for a founding Account Executive who will own the entire sales process from prospecting to closing. Ideally, you:
* genuinely enjoy sales, talking to leads and customers and closing deals
* are hands on, can move fast and work independently
* want to acquire tons of closing experience
* want to sell a great product (our customers LOVE Niceboard and some of them earn 6 figures with it —aka product pays for itself)
* are interested in working directly with me (the founder), helping take Niceboard to the next level and participating in the company's growth
* are hyper focused on performance
If you’re a hungry salesperson who wants to help us in our mission of connecting people to jobs they love while working in a cool, no-nonsense remote (North America) environment, join Niceboard!
To apply: send me an email to olivier[at]niceboard.co with a short intro, your resume, and the main reason why you're interested in working with me/Niceboard.
Make sure to mention HN in your application - ideally in the email title!
It is definitely related to self-worth, because the contract you make is not with another person, it's with yourself. And when you respect it, it increases your self respect and worth.
I don't see how that's the case at all. A sense of obligation (how much you value someone else) has nothing to do with self worth (how much you value yourself). If this was the case at all, a great treatment for low self esteem would be to commit to stuff for others, since that'd automatically make you valuate your own self more
>If this was the case at all, a great treatment for low self esteem would be to commit to stuff for others, since that'd automatically make you valuate your own self more
How do you know this is not true?
If your sense of obligation is seen as a value function for people, it follows that your self-worth is the value when you plug-in "self". Helping others and volunteering is indeed something that brings satisfaction and could help heal your sense of self-worth. If you value another person higher than yourself, by helping them you would establish a connection between their worth and your own. You potentially went from lacking any evidence of positive self-worth to having concrete first-hand evidence that you are worth something to someone.
I can see that. And your counterexample is also pretty apt.
I guess universally it may not be true, but I suspect for some it very well could be. Just depends on the value function you ascribe to (knowingly or unknowingly).
It should also be said that this topic is more complex than these simple models. I've heard it described that Narcissists essentially refute the evidence rather than allow it to poke a hole in their bubble of self-worth; All of that to say, there are many moving pieces beyond just how you value things that add up to your self-worth.
