This is in essence what Vajrayana buddhism uses as its locus. Instead of seeking to destroy desires, as early Buddhist traditions do by working on breaking them apart and inspecting them, reductio ad absurdum, they seek instead to reshape d

The Request Network may beat them to it, in terms of making crypto accessible, since it aims to provide a paypal-like, currency agnostic portal for payments. But I still like the project, and will follow it closely.

It's worth noting that it is likely many private blockchains will still use and interact with public blockchains, such as to embed the hashes of private blockchain blocks, to ensure integrity of a chain with undoubtably fewer, and ther

Sam Harris has a great book called "The Moral Landscape" on this very subject, of toxic social values and how morality relates to the purging of such values. There's also a Tedtalk he gives, which essentially explores this i

Since BTC is paired with the blooming crypto markets and platforms of services they provide, it would be easier to blow out a spark in a gently accelerating hurricane of gasoline fumes and powdered creamer. It's not a bubble, it is the

You're right, in Theravada alone, there are 40 types of meditation, most of which could be considered a mindfulness meditation. Though it seems like when we talk modernly about 'Mindfulness Meditation' it's only referenc

There is a sound device that acts like a laser, where ultrasonic waves are created such that their interference pattern interact at a specific location, to drop into audible sound at that location only. Perhaps it was something similar, but

This has been around for a while...just lock the keychain, or change the autolock timeout. Nothing to see here, but the user preferences of someone leaning towards convenience instead of security... http://stackoverflow.com/

Seth Godin prescribes this behavior as well, and acts on it if his eBook distributions are any evidence. Giving things away for free in a genuine way is a great way to make money if you are clever about it. There is nothing wrong with mutua

In the forums before release Emotiv changed their pricing (reduced) for raw sensor access, but they still wanted to get paid for it, which most of the users strongly disagreed with them on, as the idea of limiting the hardware's usability l

I don't mean to offend, but kindergarden teachers are rarely cognitive neuroscientists. The whole idea of having no idea, of having nothing and no ego is to get you out of your own way. People get caught up on the words, concepts, and ideas

Contemplative Science by B. Alan Wallace. It's about stripping out the analytical tools of Buddhism for study of the mind and creating a robust and consistent tool set for scientific inquiry into the nature of the subjective mind. Very inte
