Have you found any notable stories where someone genetically prone to stress has meaningfully overcome it? I tend to worry and control my environment but never quite find a sweet spot between knowledge and ignorance.

Re:Ask HN: How did the Starlink POC work? on Saturday October 29, 2022 @01:46PM (#33386303)
Yes, proof of concept. Surely piecewise we already had most of the components working. But wouldn't a project which aims to relay data packets through a satellite mesh and match the performace with submarine fiber cable need to show solvable challenges? I doubt that just by independently running tests in equatorial and polar regions one can draw favourable odds for the coverage of earth's surface. I can only imagine the tests Starlink would have done in the early days.
