Yeah, that sounds somewhat familiar. To add, I recently read this book :“love+work” by Marcus Buckingham. His insights are really good at what decades of research have taught him about loving your work (and how to get there)

Absolutely. Sometimes you get a comment thread where some specialists add way more than “average” commenters could actually add. I like it because it gives insights in difficult subjects!

On things like facebook usually our “guard” is down. We just assume at some point that if someone feeds it to us, it’s vetted already. Usually a lot of context is missing with for instance a scary headline. In that sense context tools could

Your startup is probably to early. As in, at some point it might be a necessity. And it’s been studied that we believe something first, and then apply reasoning to it. We skew towards our preferred bias by belief.

And knowledge drain? I mean the codebase must be substantial?

I like the goals and intent behind it, that alone is worth it. Most comments here don’t even debate Noams welcome words. A platform that isn’t a wild west race to the bottom of ad revenues? Sign me up! Micro payments for valued content? Hec

Interesting. I wonder if it is being studied as well.

People I know who have done Ayahuasca seem to me have had adverse effects on their mental health. Not the one timers, but going regularly. It’s subtle, but it seems to me they got worse regulating their emotions and rationality. Unfortunate

Yes, but only if they can prevent side fumbling, using state of the art hydrocoptic marzul vanes.

Yeah, badly worded, sorry. A significant investment for some is probably more apt.

But that’s pretty pricey right?

Maybe in the first 5 years it’s just what it is now, and then it goes into the repository. I am going to assume most sales are in those years.

I actually bought more books by checking out the book first for free (often the sample part of an electronic book is not helpful) But I might not be representative.

Thank you for your in depth reply, it’s a fascinating language!

Is there a (reconstructed) “purer” form of Basque that is no longer spoken, or is that lost in the mist of time due to intermixing of roman/spanish?

It’s not often you see people distinguish between smart and unwise. I agree with your assessment. For me, smart is about navigating difficult obstacles and overcoming them. Wisdom is overseeing and having insight in what your actions (inclu

Graphics are also so-so. Unless you do really specific graphics work (like movie cgi) it’s a no go for a lot of professionals.

Don’t you think it has more to do with a sedentary lifestyle vs a hands on lifestyle (lots more physical work 50 years ago, both out of the house and inside)

That’s more applied arts though, not free arts. But I agree with what you are saying otherwise. In the short run I don’t see any big chances, but overtime it’s going to be another tool. I guess curation becomes an even a bigger thing than b

Art is not the same bracket as machine work. Art is a cultural expression and experience. It’s not about who churns out 3000 paintings the fastest, otherwise some speed painters would have won. I can highly recommend the book “But is it art

Both probably! The movies made hacking look inspiring and hackers were a source of inspiration with movie makers/writers.

Yeah it was a pretty expansive sense of “we” there!

Guessing here, but probably from William Gibson Neuromancer, where the term originates. You have the 1982 movie Bladerunner. And there is also the 80s blockbuster War Games, that deals with hacking. These all had a big influence in the time

I really can’t comment on the designers idea, but it really depends on the agency and the workflow. Sometimes you have these crazy stages in the design process where the client choses the design by committee, and you get the blandest dulles
