I think the reason the Chinese are so angry about WWII is straightforward. Japan tried to delete their civilization. Killing people is different from killing *a people*. The former is just history. The latter requires Germany-level penance, and even then Jews hold grudges.
I understand this well because this «civilizational» thinking is very natural for Russians, and WWII was a similar experience in Russia. WWI was just another, bigger, bloody horror. Had we lost WWII, we would have ceased to exist as a people. People have collective identities.

Nextjs 16 确实肉眼可见的快了！推荐升级！ 如果是部署在cloudflare worker上，据说OpenNextjs下周也将支持Nextjs 16，这样的话，部署在cloudflare worker上也没有问题了。 快了快了，MkSaaS也快要支持Nextjs 16了

Three ways a spot a top 1% startup 1. Ambition bordering on “ludicrous” @bobmcgrewai (early Palantir, OpenAI): “Both Palantir and OpenAI were considered ludicrous when the companies were first started." @soleio (early Facebook, Figma, Dropbox): "I was surprised by the ferocity and ambition of the early Facebook team." @seanrose (early Slack, Box, Meter): “If a company’s thesis is marked by extraordinary ambition, it’s probably worth paying attention.” @rsms (early Spotify, Figma, Dropbox) explains: “The logic here is simple: If everyone says, ‘Yes, that’s clearly a great idea, and you have direct competitors on day one, you are definitely late to the game. Even if you excel and go above and beyond expectations, the chance of making a meaningful difference in this world is small-ish. However, if someone has sailed across the sea of exploration, waded through the bog of research, and is still going on about an idea, there’s a small chance that they are ahead of the rest of us and see something I’ve yet to see.” 2. Judging today’s product is a trap @soleio said that when he first logged in to Facebook, “I remember being disappointed. The version their team had described was light-years ahead of what I saw that day.” Likewise, Figma was more prototype than product the day Dylan laid out his vision to me for building a collaborative design platform.” @cjc (early Stripe, Notion, Linear) had a similar perspective: “Many of the companies I’ve joined were developer products or products that were meant for teams, so I couldn’t truly try the product myself, as I’m not a developer or didn’t have a team use case for it. So in general, I discount my own thoughts about a product in those cases.” @seanrose told us that “in the earliest days of Slack, it was rough around the edges. To quote @stewart, it was a "giant piece of shit." The bulk of the vision was there in that beta period from 2013 to 2014, but still awaiting refinement.” 3. Founders, over everything @cjc (early Stripe, Notion, Linear): “The founders (and early team)—nothing matters more than this to me. I’m going to work hard, and I want to win, but I want to do it with people whom I want to see win too. When I joined Stripe, I joined more because I thought the people were special. I had more conviction about the company itself later.” @seanrose (early Slack, Box, Meter): “Quality (and authenticity) of founders have always been the most important variable to me.” @rsms (early Spotify, Figma, Dropbox): “People and mission. Who and why (not as much ‘how’).” @bobmcgrewai (early Palantir, OpenAI): “The common pattern was an incredibly ambitious goal combined with a credible team.” There’s that ambition again. To close, in the words of @cjc: “If the three most important things in real estate are location, location, location, the three most important things in startups are people, people, people.”
