   Accessing certain states of mind requires momentum above all else. Thus it is very valuable to meditate intensely for sustained periods of time. Otherwise, most people have little chance of breaking through.

   Part of the point of intensive retreats is to create suffering. In this way you can examine it and potentially be free from it.

   If you're going to be doing a startup, meditation, sleep, and exercise must be the foundations of your daily routine.

   Quite to the contrary. Keeping a meditation journal is an invaluable, underutilized tool that allows students and teachers to see patterns that arise during meditation sessions, diagnose progress, and recommend next steps. If you want to s

   Probably. Most serious yogis have something they're dealing with that they want to "solve" and that drive to solve the problem is exactly what leads them to success i.e. awakening.

   The problem with Goenka retreats is that they don't tell you about the Dark Night stages. If you have a map for what you're facing, its much easier. - http://alohadharma.com/the-map/

   In the past I mostly used modafinil for driving long distances, which it was exceptional for. Now, I simply sip Yerba Mate the whole time and get a very similar effect.

   Thanks for putting this out there. It takes guts and self awareness to write something like this.

    A system that aggregated CGMS data from multiple people and used Gaussian Processes to predict blood sugar would likely be the most accurate you could get today.

    What algorithms do you use? Gaussian Processes?

    Meditate every day. Start with 2 minutes and work your way up to 20 minutes. The book, "Mindfulness in Plain English" is a great place to start. Good luck!

    The author's repeated ageism in this article is ironically immature.

    I'm a jiu jitsu instructor. A choke held for that short of a period of time is not dangerous. Mr. Garner, may he rest in peace, likely died of an asthma attack or some other complication from the stress of the encounter. Chokes are on

    Forgive my ignorance, but do we pay VAT on anything in the U.S.? Hell, we don't even have sales tax in my state. Why do Europeans put up with it?

    The antidote to this mental calcification is meditation. As I've become more skilled at meditation, I view things less through my old filters and more as they are, in this moment.

    I live in a ski town, this might explain why my family tends to sleep so much. I try for 10+ hours per night, which would make sense if I need extra time to replenish seratonin.

    foolrush - you seem well studied on the subject. Are there any books you'd recommend?

    Amazon S3 would be a much better choice for files considered obscure. A well designed decentralized system will have to spend a decent amount of effort to ensure that the long tail files don't drop off of the network. If you want fas

    I'm one of the pioneers of peer-to-peer file delivery from the late 90s. It turns out that decentralization is a hammer looking for a nail. Almost everything is simpler and more nimble when you centralize. The future espoused by thi

    Thanks for pointing out the fallacy of the Platonic view. Its an insidious mistake that most people make. On the notion of the self not 'really' existing, its important to note the distinction between those that say that the sens
