It really depends on what you're smoking. Sometimes my brain turns to mush for a couple hours and sometimes I come up with brilliant ideas I never would have thought of while sober. I credit it with helping to pull me out of depression

I'm not worried about open conflict, I'm worried that the internet will become a battlefield and our businesses will be caught in the crossfire.

I just want to sell my software, why does everyone have to fight?! Thank you for these links. I'm trying not to get wrapped up in conspiracies but am increasingly worried by the mounting conflict. I'd love to hear a calm, reasoned

If he were an American citizen I'd be fine with what he's doing, but since he isn't I don't see why he should have any say in how we govern ourselves, even if we don't do it well. The fact is Clinton's opponen

Even the oligarchy has multiple factions. In the most partisan era since the civil war how could the White House expect to release a statement that Russia is attempting to subvert our elections without being called out as fraud? They either

It's an old unverified post on reddit being reviewed by republicans in the House of Representatives . Has everyone gone mad? We are literally paying our representatives to waste time reading Reddit based on a tenuous connection and

It's not. I'd recommend Jane Jacobs' "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" to anyone interested in a comprehensive picture of what it takes to make cities livable: https://www.amazon.com/Deat

I used it because I didn't understand what I needed and wanted to stay in the Docker ecosystem to try to limit tooling issues. Kubernetes sounded like more than I needed given what Swarm offered. Turned out alright because I was able t

My anecdotal experience: I only started working with Docker and distributed systems in January and I've been through a couple iterations of provisioning, deployment, and orchestration since then - started with docker-machine and docker

Sitting in one position while making only minute movements and staring at a screen causes significant strain if you don't balance it out with exercise.

Personally, I always felt that if I'd been born 50 years earlier law, architecture, and mathematics would have been good alternatives. I've also been taking painting classes for a couple years and have found great logical structur

When creating art one must maintain an awareness of how all components fit together to create a beautiful piece that works as a whole. It's important to know what you don't know even if you have no urgent need to learn those thing

That's what it does - it alerts drivers, and when their hands are off for some amount of time the car will pull off to the shoulder and stop until your hands are back on the wheel (IIRC).

Mind-expanding drugs and doing things I like doing have removed the need for extrinsic motivation to produce. I've never been able to keep up a solid habit (except weight lifting, of which I enjoy the benefits).

Facebook uniquely knows the social network, communications, whereabouts and psychological makeup of ~1 billion individuals across the world. They've demonstrated the power to manipulate their users' emotions. Ford manufactures mot

I think technology is more accessible to people, and even if the general public doesn't understand it they at least feel they can refuse to participate. But it's hard to avoid a bank account and the finance industry manipulates th

It's novel but it's an ephemeral novelty. It disappears as soon as you're home and back in your old ways. Better to understand the internal source of dissatisfaction and address it directly.

The hardest part of coding for me is starting, and pushing myself through the slog of details that wiser developers already know how to handle. It's difficult for me to really push myself when I can hop across the hall and ask the loca

Looking forward to the day when SpaceX finds a way to launch satellites with massive batteries that harvest solar energy from orbit and transports them to and from Earth (to feed Tesla's recharge network).

Great advice, I am currently lacking there. Thank you! Edit: A follow up if you don't mind - have you investigated multi-agent autonomous systems or agent based modeling?

First of all, I now enjoy talking about myself :) I stopped assuming I knew everything, and a childlike sense of wonder returned to my life. I began looking beyond what was directly in front of me and sought out more comprehensive generaliz

Marijuana helped me realize there was a lot about myself I didn't understand and launched my investigation into more effective thought processes. I've become much more driven and thoughtful since I began smoking as an adult.
