For anyone interested in the neuroscience behind this, I recommend reading Judson Brewer’s book the Craving Mind. He did the first fMRI studies of meditators and makes explanations entertaining, interesting and accessible without sacrificin

Very cool project - thanks for giving me the background. Just clicked around and enjoyed checking it out. Sounds like you learned a lot and built a valuable tool, well done!

Doreen, I’m sorry to hear you spent a lot of time suicidal. If you don’t mind me asking, do you think that comments like mine are self serving / and ineffective at actually preventing suicide?

Quick PSA: If you are contemplating suicide you should reach out to professionals for help. You are not alone in this struggle and deserve to be happy and live a fruitful life. What do you have to lose by talking with a professional?

Good idea and good luck with this, especially the timing. I was just reading Judson Brewer's book on mindfulness and addiction (The Craving Mind) and he mentioned December is the most challenging month for people to quit smoking, not t

Although it is more complex than say heroku, there are so many features, and eventually you may want them. Also the pricing is very competitive , if developer time is expensive. Need to send emails, there's SES. Want to dynamically put

I hope this makes people reconsider if they really need a new laptop, iphone, etc. I think a lot of people would pay twice as much for their devices if they could guarantee the workers weren't being exploited.

Maybe consider formulating your requested change in writing and present it to them one on on, either in person or via email and ask for feedback. Keep bothering them until they either respond thoughtfully or make it clear they won't. A

When you're spending more time at work than at home, occasionally it's nice to have a beer at work. Don't get me wrong - I'd rather be at home, not working, drinking a beer but it's natural that drinking and work co

PAs can do a lot of the same things that physicians do, and are of vital importance but are distinct from physicians. For one, physicians in the US complete 4 years of medical school, then a residency, and then possibly a fellowship. On the

One baseline to think about is SOC-II compliance. You'll also need training for your organization and certain designated people that are responsible for security. You'll want a third party to audit your architecture / pentest

Interesting question. The same technology (IR laser projector) is used inside Microsoft's kinect (except they use a stronger projector), and people play that for extended periods of time, so definitely not the first consumer electronic

And I mean the name, 1Blocker - I think it was marketed at some point in time as the only blocker you'll ever need, just for them to release a new version with a new name.

If you are interested in learning more about psychedelics, and their context in 2018, I'd recommend UC Berkeley Professor Michael Pollan's latest book "How to Change Your Mind". It is a really nice, easy to read primer o

If you have 2 tmux servers with different hotkeys you can totally nest them safely. I have a different hotkey prefix for my machine and then leave the default for servers. Works great!
