> I mapped out all the public bathrooms in a six block radius. Nobody wants to pee next to their boss. It’s disgusting and humiliating.

... what?


Anyone got any more information on "Basically an iPad in 1981" - the Ohio Computers Centerpoint?


var i=0;

var b = {};

b.valueOf = function () {

  return ++i:
};

if (b==1 && b==2) {//success}


  var i=0;
  var b = {};
  b.valueOf = function () {
    return ++i;
  };
  if (b==1 && b==2) { console.log("success")}


Maybe good advice, but I'd recommend having a few months wages as a cushion.


Better to have an MVP and a few customers (paid or expressed paid interest) first. That's what I did + the cushion.


I assumed the work he was doing was at a higher level than that - i.e. creating the software which allows the end user to see these annotations. In this case, it would need ongoing maintenance, which would be done best by a full time team who understand the code.

Either way, if he's good at what he does, it would make sense for the company to keep him on even if they move him to another project.


This is an incredibly well written reply; it sums up the basics of mindfulness in a very short space. Have you written any more on the subject?


Huh, thanks.

Much of the language and frame I use comes from Daniel Ingram's "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha". You can check that out if you want more. If you've got some meditative experience, that has some good stuff. If you're coming in from entheogens, that is a great book to read after a couple breakthrough experiences. One note though: Ingram is considered controversial by a number of people for some reason.

As for my own stuff, I have written a cheatsheet at some point: http://www.quora.com/Meditation/Whats-a-nice-little-cheat-sh...

... though I will be updating it soon from the things I've been learning from practicing pranayama and yoga.

"We've worked to resolve this and to create a mutually beneficial solution" - well, go on, what is it!?


This is a very weak feature to be touting as a reason to move...


Aspects were not the feature they touted as the reason to move. That would be decentralization. But the parent post said there were literally no features besides privacy, and I wanted to point out that that isn't strictly true.


Especially as you can share with self-defined groups in FB.


That really puts life in perspective. Enlightenment, I suppose, is living every day as if it's your last. I wonder how to reach that mindset.


I don't know how. But one way I can think of is to not make any long-term plans.

All your plans and goals can be achieved in one day. You finish the day reaching your goals. You wake up next day, find yourself alive, you make new goals for that day only.

Rinse. Repeat.


Yeah I agree with this. I seem to have reached a point in life where I don't really think about the past and future often, but I wouldn't say I've quite reached enlightenment yet.


There seem to be a few paths, but if I were you I would stick to the ones expounded by the true spiritual geniuses of our species- Jesus and the Buddha. Maybe Mohammed- I don't know enough to say one way or the other.


Yes, I already meditate daily and have noticed profound changes in perspective and mindset. I can't recommend anything more!
