No one has really mentioned mindfulness (the "muscle" or "skill" grown by the exercise of meditation) It seems like the real question in this thread is "How do I avoid being distracted" more than anything else.

Basically alphabetical order, but if you don't say lexicographical, it doesn't sound as smart. (I am assuming it's a more comprehensive term, having to do with other characters, other than simple letters, so that if integers

Interesting take. I'm also a huge carnivore, to me there's nothing better than a rare ribeye or filet. It's going to be interesting to see how the synthetic meat movement develops. If they could "print/grow"

Sam Harris's Awaken App. I've used Headspace and other apps; they've all helped with stress. Sam's approach seems to be more procedural, more of a step by step (if such a thing as true mindfulness can have a step by st

Here is the high-level break down I plan to provide. Again, high level makes me think it should be pretty brief, considering the amounts: Salary 127,500 Hardware/demo equip 20000 Software Assets 7500 Consultants/Tech Suppor

People confuse the term meditation and mindfulness. Maybe like development vs programming. Mindfulness is what has been spreading, but usually it is intoduced as meditation. I didn't downvote but I can't imagine someone vomiting

Piggybacking on this (slight point on semantics but still important in terms of framing the discussion) Don't tell them, SHOW them. The advice about displaying all of those things, almost like metrics or hitting a benchmarks is key. T

My wife is an attorney at an appellate court and tells me she doesn't think a high majority of judges even know what a PDF is. I'm guessing this patent is put there to give a big company like Facebook some basic legal framework to

Webinars are a big thing and most users get invited to many of them, however, usually there is no interaction. If there is a chance to ask a question, it is usually confined to some VIP's who are involved in the webinars themselves. I

40 hours has been historically used to determine full-time status (and full-time benefits) like health insurance. It's one of the reasons I think this schedule is so hard to get away from.

Have your watched every video produced by YC? I've applied this last round and if I get in, I'm pretty it was because these videos helped me write a clearer and more concise. Even if I don't get in, these videos have taught m

You still had "wins" and hurdles you had to overcome. I'd leave it there. If asked, focus on those wins. If I were building a drone company in 2006, I could say I overcame engineering hurdles to design the product but fail

Thank you for taking the time to explain that - it seems the "abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality,from what is strangled, and from blood" is obviously a literal interpretation. "From what is strangl

Paramedic here - two main areas of concern regarding blood in the prehospital/emergency setting - 1 - Volume - You need enough fluid in a closed system to maintain pressure to push that fluid. 2. Oxygen carrying capacity - Oxygen binds

I'm curious about the range of derivation from blood. For example, if I took a sample of your blood and made a product that was essentially cloning your blood, would that be the same? Some people's spiritual rejections lie more i

So, I kinda did this - I needed a developer for my startup but couldn't afford to pay one. So I learned myself, though I didn't use a bootcamp, just tried to build what I could and learn more from MOOC's like udemy or youtub

You need to find a way to development mindfulness. There are many apps but when you are talking about being able to manage your feelings, think of this way; those monks who sat down and burned themselves alive as a protest...that's wh

I think this is inevitable and not a bad thing but I wish we were able to talk about this better as a society. What you are describing is a "transition" to post-scarcity, as everything becomes automated and jobs are eliminated. An
