Email has been around for a while. People really like it. Older hackers (Torvalds) seem to in particular. I ignored it too. But I'm realizing the best conversations happen over it. A lot of older internet users generally use lists (or priva

I sold myself short — I moved to a place I thought was a second rate. And what do you know? It was. Truth is my belief limited me. I was bound to confirm it. I ignored intuition — I should've connected with people. Focus on what I want and

It seemed more productive to smash my hands with a hammer than to Twitter. But I like the connections (and conversation) I'm making. When I tried using it for news, I got bogged into the day to day hysteria.

How do you stay motivated? > How do you stay in love? Wonderful turn of phrase. I'm inspired now to search around for articles about how couples keep stay in love for decades. I'm sure they use some of the same "algorithms" that peo

This concept sounds similar to the point you make: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depressive_realism

And yet this is realistic. Wouldn't you expect a big, clumsy organization like the Empire to be inept at design? They should've outsourced. It's inefficiencies like this that keep people like Boba Fett employed.

Have you looked into healthy fats? My skin likes pastured (grass fed) butter, coconut milk/oil and very dark chocolate. Vitamins D3 and a DHA & EPA (Omega 3s) source like fish (krill oil) should do the skin well too. Also green and whi

Thanks for the feedback. I understand where you're coming from. If I could simplify your view: Stuff happens, deal with it. I don't mean to ignore the nuance. But to generalize it further: the universe is stuff happening that you can't cont

Thanks for the feedback. I should've been more specific. But I felt asking a specific question while easier to understand, excludes people by definition. Like if I asked, why did you decided to startup? That excludes employees. So I asked "

Dropbox helps gets things done but stays out of the way. It's so subtle I forget I even use it. That's exactly what I like in a program.

You're right. But I actually don't think beans (or white rice) are that healthy — they're fairly good. I left that out because I don't want to get into a "narrative war" on diet again. But I can discuss it later.

And it kills foggy brain. But the best effect is you know it's healthy, so you don't feel bad. Tea too. Green and white tea are high in antioxidants. Drink up.

Washing removes sodium. It's good for health but not taste. But canning soaks them longer, which is better for digestion. I doubt startups want to spend the time to soak manually. There's a tradeoff. Can sludge is nasty. And other bad stuff

What I like the most about your story is how you framed the solution to your problem subjectively. You improve yourself instead of destroying them. Everybody wins.

The danger is and always has been centralized control (and not just in software). No one should own the web OS — the web is ours. Stallman & Co. foresaw this (at least) a decade ago. He's right to be worried. The real issue is: what are

I agree that cynics sometimes bring us to earth. But you have to question their motives too. Here's a good post on that: http://lesswrong.com/lw/ym/cynical_about_cynicism/ I'm especially on guard against cynicism because it seems to be a
