Jealousy is a thing. The quickest way to lose friends is to tell them you're a lot richer than they are.

Is there a way I can install an open source phone OS on my old Android phones to keep them patched? I'm not prepared to keep buying new phones just because manufacturers only provide intermittent updates for a year or two. Anyone got a

Yep I'm thinking of heading to Europe and to be living there on Brexit day. I reckon it'll be a reasonable time for the EU to say "OK, whoever was over here then can stay". I haven't decided where to go yet though.

Kundalini is a bunch of feelings?!?! I haven't had a full-blown conscious experience, but I have been woken up in the middle of the night feeling like I've been connected to the mains, so much energy surging through me. I've

What you're describing can be helpful, but I'm describing a state where you fundamentally go beyond any involvement of thoughts including a countering internal dialogue. By many accounts, the key indicator of being in this state i

This is a bit tricky to explain. It's a shift in perception to something that lets you view thoughts without getting caught up in them. So countering one thought with another isn't it because then you're still in thoughts. Ho

Meditation has massive potential for very real, profound experiences. There is much that science doesn't understand about our bodies yet but that has been empirically discovered over the millenia. Meditation can certainly be boring, bu

Doesn't that sort of attitude play into TfL's hand in London? Another example of Uber not willing to play by the rules, especially ones arguably safety-related?

If you're advanced enough to remain aware even while sleeping you've probably already adjusted your life to be quite balanced.

The GDPR relies on international treaties to make the location of the business irrelevant. Any company processing data of EU citizens must comply IIRC.

I wonder if sites doing this could be sued under a computer misuse act.

Rubbish.

Oh yeah, so you do have a choice if you want to live in a cave.

GDPR will change that. Fines of up to 4% of global gross should make them adhere.

Yes, if you capture IPs/anonymous user IDs, perhaps user agents etc.

I wondered how long it'd take for the BuiltWith competitors to appear after the article a few months ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10316060 ). The golden rule of business: If you're onto a sweet money-m

"There is nothing exceptional in exceptions" No there's not, but it's a royal pain the arse to have to keep passing them up through your function calls to the level that actually cares about them and will do something ab

Chromeless looks promising. Being able to run a load of scrapers in parallel at certain times could be useful if time sensitivity is an issue. E.g someone sends you a batch of URLs to screenshot and each site takes a while to render. You co

IANAL but I suspect the forthcoming GDPR will make this illegal for EU customer data. It gives users greater control over their data, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that it corresponds with this judgement, i.e. if a user determines

Yes. It's a way of thinking that is communicated by words. Same as speaking a foreign language for me. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the same parts of the brain are involved. To elaborate, in some spoken languages you h

I want to be able to handle errors, pass them up a few functions then log a stacktrace. I don't want to panic everywhere since robustness is important.

I've done my first project with go. Goroutines are undoubtedly cool and I like the strong typing. * Unfortunately error handling sucks (no stacktrace by default? Let's go back to the days of peppering print statements around just

Which is fine if you happen know what it was designed for prior to starting your project, and can also be 100% sure your project will never mutate into anything else...
