I've wondered for a while about how good computer models can be when modelling complex systems. We can't model water flow well, what fundamentally differentiates this from modelling climate?

Whoa holy smokes yeah I missed the mark on that one. So Vulkan is a replacement for openGL, essentially a new api to gpu's in general? Is that closer to it? In the future I'll phrase the statement as a question if I'm not 1

It can take a long time just to get the opengl type programming understood. I've been studying this: http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php which I think does a terrific job explaining many of the import

I think of basic income as a venture capital firm that treats us all as individual startups. Lots of value can be generated by people doing what they find worthwhile on their own terms. Some people will sit around playing video games all

Did you read the article? What facts are you even basing your claims on?

Counting is thinking. The idea is to not follow wandering thoughts. When you get it your mind is silent, and you are fully present. You can hear everything around, not even a ninja could sneak up on you.

Part of the whole venture capital startup game is diversification if investment. VC's expect a lot of their startups to fail (angel investors too), while a few grow and maybe if they are lucky one of them takes off.

This helps achieve the objective in general semantics of 'silence on the objective level.' In other words, that none of us have access to reality unfiltered by our senses and our linguistic programs, so it is best to not make sta

It's interesting to me that VC's would look at this and not immediately think of an easier to monetize version of couchsurfing, which was already very popular at the time.

I'm guessing people will use this right before they push their first beta version, just as a quick sanity check against devices they don't already have. Most compatibility issues will probably arise from supporting pre-ICS device

This is really a very important reason to do drugs in the first place, especially psychedelics. They show you how much of your reality/perception is based on a temporary chemical/biological state, not what you previously thought

It's like this in silicon valley in general. Now that I have a regular 9-5 that I don't have to take home every weekend, I don't hesitate when I'm called upon to go above and beyond. Also, I work smarter when I'm
