Here's a great clip of Varoufakis discussing the port of Piraeus as a specific example (but also examples in Africa) of how reasonable the Chinese are to deal with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJatdtv4jQ

I would argue that, yes, you do in fact need either a book or a teacher. Meditation practices and traditions didn't spontaneously develop in a vacuum, they were created in the context of spiritual traditions such as Buddhism. Non-attac

There is a lot of nuance to this and if you are really curious, you should check out Mindfulness in Plain English... you can find it free online. But, a quick, short answer - meditation is like going to the gym for your brain. In meditation

Meditation isn't really about minimizing thoughts. You can't stop thoughts from arising, its just something that your brain does. Meditation is more about training yourself to not attach to those thoughts, to let them go. And that

I went from a career that I felt not only did not advance humankind but was actively harming it to a new career with a job where I feel like I'm not really advancing humankind. Gotta say, the grass is greener. I sleep a lot better at n

You just need it for the flight, you take one half an hour before the flight. You can research the basic biological mechanism online but the practical effect is that your body just doesn't react to fear, which allows you to deal with t

Not sure if the light medicine you mention is a beta blocker but if it's not, call your doctor up and ask for propranolol. It will prevent the adrenaline dump and racing heart beat. You might still be a little mentally nervous but anxi

Popular with others is a bit different than popular with your manager's managers, which is what the OP suggested. But one good way to get noticed up the management chain is a combination of high impact deliverables and self promotion s

Pre or post agriculture? Post agriculture I suppose it is pretty easy to argue that times were tougher in the past (medieval serfs got more days off and did way less work than we do today, but I'll concede that I'd rather my kids

The essay is much deeper than this. Graeber is speaking directly to people like you (and me, until I read this article a few years ago) who believe all actions are rooted in evolutionary adaption. Graeber does get a bit woo-woo but I really

The most important thing for me to really cement something is producing (vs consuming). Reading docs, watching videos... those are consuming. Of course you do have to do these things to get started. When most hackers thing of producing they

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American. It's a really sad state of affairs back home. I vividly recall the first time I got pulled over here in Europe for making a traffic mistake - after I payed for the f

Specifically chemical process simulators used by Chemical Engineers are all very, very long in the tooth. I sold and trained other engineers to use these products for years. They are fine in the sense that thousands of engineers around the

Not talking about CAD/CAE, that's not my expertise at all. I'm specifically talking about chemical process simulation. And React obviously gets used for the GUI instead of something like Delphi. As I said, for the business lo

Plugins are too easy for me to disable. Somehow editing /etc/localhost and redirecting time wasters to locahost requires higher activation energy for me and works so that's what I do.

Even if Putin himself could read your searches, would you care? I guess don't use Yandex if you're a Ukrainian soldier but otherwise what are you worried about?

I'm still just appending `reddit` to my Google searches to try to find results written by human beings, although I am not optimistic that this technique will work for much longer (or perhaps even 100% of the time now).

The developers working on these types of simulations typically have a background in a more traditional engineering field like petroleum engineering or chemical engineering. Not saying that it isn't possible to break into the field with

He's not right, he's just victim blaming. It's not reasonable to expect college students who are barely adults to have to defend themselves against abusive professors who have a position of power over them.

With 15 years of experience and a bunch of new engineers on your team, your job is no longer to build shit. It's to help everyone else on your team build shit. If that's a problem, you might need to find a new team. I hear that Ne
