I don't think suffering by itself can really be enjoyed, but it can be a way to realize or learn things about yourself. Pain is a very subjective sensation, and severe pain can cause you to close up and recoil from or fear that sensation.

I appreciate your enlightened thinking. I hope that it does not fall on deaf ears.

I believe this sort of analysis can only be written in retrospect. And I'm not sure it's very accurate. TiVo faced a wide array of business challenges and I doubt they would have avoided any of them if they had release their device as some

Good list. I think it'd be hard to overstate the importance of #4. The mind relentless tries to make sense and rationalize everything around it, whether in creative work or anywhere else. Unfortunately the world exists in a state of ambi

I do fear the paperclip maximizer. And did they have to make it solar powered? When will people learn?!?

When a house is sold at a loss that particular stream of mortgage payment dries up entirely. Essentially all of the non-paid off loans had their collateral (houses) sold and were declared closed. At the point no money will ever flow into

Is there any context for this video?

What a load of crap! This is some strange entitled rationalization of his friend's fear of commitment. And it's an attempt to legitimize the author's own fear of commitment. > I’ve worked for a handful of companies over the course of

I don't thing the metaphor holds up. If you vaccinate your child, why do you care if other children are vaccinated or not? Your kid is immune...

Hmm... I thought the scourge of 1975 programming was ignoring the vast and growing gap between the speed of the processor and the speed of RAM. 2010 programming has to deal with the fact that chasing a (non-cached) pointer can consume hundr

Self could be your mind/attention, but there's no reason you can't expand your idea of self to include your ego, mind, entire body. I suppose the question is: will you take responsibility for what goes on within your skin?

If you're not in control of yourself, who is?

That looks interesting... funnily enough zen is my current practice, and it's impact on my living has been and continues to be profound.

Have you tried meditation? Specifically vipassana or zen meditation are probably good ways to start tackling the whole package...

Take full and complete responsibility for the fuck-ups and people will give you a break. No hedging, no explanations... nothing that can possibly be interpreted as rationalization. Express only pure remorse and gratitude and the mood wil

I'd say that becoming a parent will definitely come between you and your idea of happiness. You'll have to re-evaluate your relationship to happiness and satisfaction (and sleep and pain) and that in itself is difficult and not fun. In the

Seems like they have developed a good approach to the problem. Hopefully people can smooth their ruffled feathers enough to discuss the meat of the problem.

Nobody trusts programmers to scale a Lisp codebase up as the company grows at rate that satisfies stockholders.

You just need to develop some sort of "liquid battery" and pump it in some sort of receptacle, or tank, in the car.

IIRC the Top Gear segment was "produced" to show the car out of juice... i.e. don't draw any battery life conclusions from Top Gear's methods!
