Sounds like the theory behind http://waypoint.fm Basically, everything is doable if its broken down into small chunks. The methods for stuff that people have already done should be shared.

It is too easy to get caught up in the idea that " everything is bad" when all you focus on is negatives. It sets the tone for your day, and alters your overall opinion on things. A better alternative would be to have a clear, accurate, a

Thats the thing: I don't know what the most important thing for me to be doing is. So the best thing I can do is figure it out. Putting myself in a position of wealth and power opens more doors so that I have more opportunities to figure

For some, the concern stems from this line of thought: "This is my one life, and after its gone I'll never get it back. I need to make the best of it." So then we imagine what the best life could be. We don't even have to try hard to ima

I believe I remember him pointing out, of all the things that need energy on earth, most of them use the sun as their source either directly or indirectly. Plants are obvious, and animals rely on plants. While products of evolution aren't

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Do you have some source to back up why that is "not going to happen"? I can't imagine a scenario where Google wouldn't allow it to link to Twitter and Facebook, especially considering that Goo

I'm not entirely sure of the capabilities of Glass. For instance, battery life and an ability to persistently have the camera on and displaying an overlay for extended periods seems difficult. Some of the Glass ideas I like but haven't he

I think this is a good question. My first conclusion I drew as an undergrad was that since I cannot currently grasp the purpose, I need to put myself in a position where that would be more likely. My grades went from just barely passing t

Thanks for posting this. That phrase is the conclusion I came to in the parent comment of this chain. I have not heard that phrase elsewhere though. I wonder if he means it in the same way as I do? I'll have to check out his book.

This is the first time I've publicly posted about this, and I'm glad to see that someone (you!) understands it. You're comment is spot on. I'll add a bit: Venus says life has no purpose. After venus makes that statement, what does venus d

Its not surprising that it depresses me. You say "choose the purpose for ourselves" but how can one be absolutely confident they are making the right choice? If they are not absolutely confident -- then why would they let the guiding prin

If the purpose of life is to "build as many feeling entities..." then that is what should be done. You see, it is the way that we arrive at our understanding of the purpose that convinces us that it is right. By using the scientific metho

I previously struggled with intense depression that lasted about 4 years. At the end of the four years, I had a realization that was so powerful that I haven't entered a period of depression lasting more than a week in the subsequent 4 yea

False. My assertion was that Larry will be looking at this data based on him providing flu shots. I then posited that there is a connection between this page and Larry's flu shot charity -- not that one caused the other, but implied that

I'm sure Larry Page will be looking at this data after personally paying for free flu shots to bay area kids. In his article he mentions "...flu shots can have a big effect in preventing flu in the whole region...", so I wouldn't be surpri

He makes a point of all of these companies having been ugly at the outset. I don't disagree, they were, however the landscape has changed. In the past, when the world was really still figuring out what the web is, it was okay to be ugly -

Haha I guess I've always been a science nerd. I loved the chemistry set always wanted an ant farm so bad I built one not long ago. My brother (the 7 year old) is on a similar track. He gets giddy and runs around over new books, he loves

I definitely agree with your answer. In my case, the gift is for my half-brother who is 18 years younger than me and lives 2.5 hours away. Luckily, he is a kid who begs to buy books and will ask me questions about what I know about number

Ahh, no it looks like I can't. I think it is my company's web filter. They do block out a fair number of ports.

Precisely. This reminds me of, albeit less dramatic, fear mongering akin to Colin Powell announcing to the United Nations that the USA has proof that Iraq has WMDs. Of course when we showed up in Iraq, Colin Powell ended up looking like a

Some teams I've seen blindly follow the 'mobile first' strategy without thinking about what device their application is best suited for. Microsoft Word, Photoshop, and advanced developer IDEs are good examples of software that should be de

Differently from most other comments, I didn't see this as Einstein being a jerk. I more feel compassion for him since, to me, this list is like an admission of his solitude. It must be quite lonely being so unique as Einstein. Most peopl

I find my Linode really useful for x11 forwarding to use Firefox in public places, or to get around web filters. Might be worth a mention of how to do this.

I'd like to know more about remembering things that I don't put forth effort to remember. Does anyone know about this? For example my mom asked who the angry chef on TV is and somehow I immediately knew "Gordon Ramsay!" even though I don't
