Gerrymandering backfires when voters change parties easily and frequently. Loosely held party loyalties keep politicians on their feet and forces them to focus on actual voter's issues.

When voters dogmatically lock-in to a party affiliation for decades/generations it leaves politicians with zero incentive to listen to them and shifts their focus to drawing safe-districts.

The best way for voters to be heard is to radically reject all party-lock-in-narratives and fire anyone who is in a safe seat - irrespective of everything else.

Re:Ask HN: Pros and cons of working at a startup in 2019? on Sunday February 24, 2019 @12:46PM (#19239593)
I have tried recruiting many of my close friends from FAANG companies to my well funded startup.

It starts with them talking about feeling miserable in their jobs and that they badly want to quit.

I then ask them to try something new, join my (or another) startup (or another company). Then they get paralyzed by the pros/cons of various options, (salary, stock, commute, role, title etc. etc.) they end up not making any changes at all and continue feeling dissatisfied.

I have come to believe that dwelling on these pros/cons doesn’t help anyone and just causes analysis/paralysis related misery that is completely unnecessary.

It is better to pick one thing and then focus 100% on making the most of it. After a while, if you notice it has stopped giving you joy/learning/growth, make a switch, try something different and again focus on making the most of that.

Being clear in your head about what you want to do, why you want to do it and aligning your actions/efforts 100% with that clarity is the most valuable thing there is to have in life. The rest is noise.

Re:I made my son cannabis cookies. They changed his life on Sunday January 08, 2017 @12:52PM (#13350925)
This is not unique to the US and not even unique to the modern era. The "common enemy" is the glue of every civilization. Build a case against a scapegoat and rally public opinion to wage a war - this is essentially the job of every form of government. Let's wage war on poverty, corporations, the 1%, unions, drugs, immigrants, corruption, terrorism... the list goes on and on. You can go back to the Bhagwad Gita, the Bible, the ancient myths... and the story doesn't change very much.

Connecting our day to day efforts to a larger unifying purpose is a powerful driver of change and an essential leadership skill.

I believe Sam is better at making such connections than most people I know.

Re:Ask HN: What should we fund at YC Research? on Saturday January 30, 2016 @07:59PM (#11004689)
Ask individuals/teams to propose research projects that they want to work on.

1) What are you curious about? 2) How will you go about finding the answers you seek? 3) Why do you think this is important?

Like YC core - focus more on the people, less on the ideas. Allow the ideas to change with the research journey.

Self motivated curiosity leads to the best research.

'Funding agencies deciding what problems are important' is the broken piece of other research labs.
