Absolutely resist the urge to dazzle them with your technical prowess. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR SHIT. I will not point fingers at any specific companies since I have no interest in being sued, but I have had technologies stolen by 5 different

You can absolutely become depressed through meditation practices, but typically this is a sign that you have made some progress but are not breaking through. Intuitively changing techniques (for example, to Advaita) can be a good strategy.

"However, I don't know you yet, and it would be a mistake of mine to share his real teaching with you if I don't confirm how genuine you are." What a crock of horse shit. For other people's sake I really hope you d

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible suggestion. I ran a company successfully for 8 years and at times made this same mistake in thinking. The only time you can hire above is when scaling a successful product + sales model - essentially

This is a great idea. I would be careful going too cheap on the recommended pieces. For example, on the Theo James, there is no way I would buy a Haynes T-shirt. If super-cheap is your target market, then great. But, you could also go

You could be dynamically responsive to black market demand. If there is high black market demand, make it available more easily through legal channels. In the case of antibiotics and antivirals I do not currently see high black market dem

High cortisol levels make you stupid. Its not about who can handle burnout the longest, its about creating a healthy life rhythm that is sustainable and fueled by passion, not obligation. One of the big things people overlook is getting en

A better title for this research would have been "Steroids seem to help people win fights" As an MMA coach, I think a more likely explanation is the wider faces correlate to high testosterone, including steroid use, which in turn

On a given topic, I believe the best textbook is an inferior medium to the best lecture. Rather than blathering for 1300 words, I provided links to some excellent machine learning lectures.

I saw the explanation and I don't buy it. In pretty much every occasion that I've found a textbook valuable, I've found lectures by the authors far more valuable. David Mackay's lectures are incredible and go much furth

How many of you guys actually hook up any of your equipment to a hard line? I've used nothing but wifi for years. I'd be more interested in ultra-high speed wireless that could stretch to 30m and get me to that fiber node.
