I had a few major events in my life that woke me up to these same concepts. " full-time employment was not on a trajectory that would bring me full happiness ever. And life is short." - exactly. Change is also very important to keep me goin

My quality of work would suffer for those few hours, I wouldn't be able to go at 100%.

You drink wine every night? My schedule is far too buy to allow that...perhaps that is part of it? You are in a relaxed enough schedule to have some shutdown time every day?

by mrtron 18y ago
I can manage that schedule for a few months, but after that I need to shutdown for a week or I start to go crazy.

That seems like a very sustainable schedule, and similar to mine. I wake up about an hour later (go to bed an hour or two later), exercise just before dinner, and do my planning in the morning. Other than that it lines up pretty much the

I also think it is a direct result of the power of the giants. In the US, the RIAA can sue individuals for large sums of money. In Canada, you can't sue for any amount - you have to show damages. So if downloading a song was copyright inf

I agree the system has some major flaws. It is better than the alternative system with the RIAA prosecuting people for 10,000$ per song in my opinion. I don't want my money going to poor 'artists' that are just manufactured entities by ma

Canadians pay levies on recordable media (and have since cassette tapes) that goes to the Canadian recording industry. Initially it was deemed legal to tape the radio for personal use. Now that has moved into the digital age. It does not w

I do not agree what is deemed copyright infringement in the US is wrong and harmful in all cases. Luckily, the Canadian government agrees with me. A 2005 ruling states "Downloading a song for personal use is not an infringement.".

For someone with the whole Internet as their resource, I would consider it beyond lazy. It is ignorant to treat them the same. Copyright infringement has been responsible in increases for 'victim', both in exposure and revenues. Theft has

I would be willing to subscribe to your newsletter after reading your comment. Do you accept tipjoy? Doesn't that blow your mind? Without this free medium and my 'theft' I would never have even known of abstractbill.

I'll throw my name in that hat too. (22, 38, 75, 11) Don't hold it against me :) Most of my friends are INTJ/INTP, we sent this around in some emails a few months ago.

Why? Their priorities are socializing and getting by. It is their choice, and I think it is ignorant to judge them 'idiotic'.

I think it is disruptive in the sense that the cost/utility for SSD are soon going to cross with regular hard drives. Something like 90% of disk drive manufacturers failed the transition from floppy disks to the 3.5", and it feels increment

I really hope they detect frozen water, and organic compounds trapped in that frozen water. From that discovery I would hope a space colony race would develop. It is depressing how little space exploration has occurred since the first of m

I don't think TipJoy launched too early. They have a good product and it works. I think they need to continue focusing on execution as they appear to be - and keep their burn rate low because they may be in for a long haul educating users

People who can self teach well are the minority, and many of those people still go to university/college. I am not shortchanging the value whatsoever. I think being autodidactic is incredibly valuable - but I don't believe whether or not y

Becks says you enjoy beer, aren't a beer snob, but likely don't drink to excess regularly in my professional opinon. If you said Natural Ice...clearly either a drinking problem or stuck in the college days. Arrogant bastard? Beer snob. Smi

You don't buy any cable box and hook it up and have it magically work. You don't buy any computer and easily throw any OS on it (drivers, etc). Specifically cell phone companies like to make money on the back end and offer up cheap cell ph

Work experience can be extremely valuable in starting up. I would even recommend going through the startup process as an employee if possible to learn some good and bad practices. Personally my parents think I am crazy for attempting it.

No offense intended, but BRL does not appear to be a popular choice. It may have existed, but so did other possibilities not mentioned too, the idea was to summarize what choices your average developer had. I would also add that a lot of pe

I normally don't push products, but I can't say enough about slicehost. It is very reliable, a great simple admin for adding dns entries, setting up backups for your VPS, etc. Just another good quality option. Similar price I believe.
