Emotional detachment is not the goal of mindfulness practice as I understand it. The point of mindfulness practice is to become more of aware of your body, mind, feelings, and develop insight to things as they really are (see Satipatthana).

Devaluing emotions is exactly the opposite of the point of practice. Instead you want to get in touch with your emotions, deeply. The trick with not going off the rails emotionally is karma. Positive actions (e.g. generosity, patience, truthfulness) produce positive emotions, negative actions (e.g. speaking ill of others, lying, stealing) produce negative emotions. Karma can also help overcome nihilistic thought. Your actions actually do mean something to yourself and others (at least subjectively) and you can see and feel the results in real life.

I agree with you said about context. I think opportunists are extracting these techniques out of their original context and selling it as a panacea to all of your problems. This is wrong and can only lead to harm.
It's actually not better than none, but feel free to believe whatever you want to.
Close. Extrapolation is possible using structural theories rather than only reduced form models.

Linux has never needed a ramdisk. If it's built with drivers for the boot device and it probes in an unambiguous manner, you can pass root=/dev/whatever99. That's as true today as it was in 1992.

"Who Killed The Electric Car" was a really interesting documentary.
PRISM?
"Her questions were so pointed that Enron's chief executive, Jeffrey K. Skilling, called her unethical for failing to do more research. Three Enron executives flew to New York in an unsuccessful effort to convince her editors that she was wrongheaded. Enron's chairman, Kenneth L. Lay, called Fortune's managing editor, Rik Kirkland, to complain that Fortune was relying on a source who stood to profit if the share price fell."

One thing you learn pretty quickly is that there is a massive difference between stated intentions and reality. It only takes one dissenting voice to get a big enterprise stuck in the past.

Usually far more are available.

(and I might even agree that from a business perspective it's usually the right call at some point. Software engineers will rewrite, rewrite, rewrite again and again and again)
No, because corporate sabotage is outside of their remit. They would only look at it within the realms of market manipulation and insider trading, for which the punishment is a) usually light and b) usually deflected onto a fall guy.

In terms of the actual espionage end of things, it’s covered by EEA 1996 - and the prosecutions there have always gone for the hand, not the head, and the fines have been in the thousands, not millions, of dollars range.

You seem to have a great deal of faith in regulators. In most cases, they're under resourced, outgunned by corporate lawyers, and may have a bunch of different incentives to look the other way. Even if they do find egregious wrongdoing, many times bad actors will get a slap on the wrist or it'll be blamed on a single individual.

Words can mean different things in different languages and different contexts.

In English-speaking cultures, North and South America are separate continents. "America" is understood to mean the USA. The polite term for someone from the USA is "American". Calling a Canadian "American" is impolite.

In Spanish-speaking cultures, América is a single continent. "Estados Unidos" is understood to mean "de América", not "Mexicanos". People from the USA are commonly called "estadounidense", "norteamericano", or "americano". It's polite for outsiders to use "estadounidense".

Neither language is indigenous to the Americas, so why not just use the polite words in each language?

Senate rejects Trump’s rescue of Chinese firm ZTE

Nothing paranoid about this. Data exfiltration and corporate sabatoge is very real. There are entire departments at large companies dedicated to protecting against things like this.

So many industries that were threatened or upended went though similar exercises. Tobacco being one of the best examples. We also went through a huge mid-century renaissance in public transit that was abruptly put to an end due largely to gas and car companies. Trains got replaced by buses because tire and oil companies felt threatened. Remember the EV1?
Akka is built on top of the JVM which doesn't support fibers (yet: see http://openjdk.java.net/projects/loom/). Akka implements its own scheduling atop Java's fork-join thread pool. Fibers at the JVM layer would be faster.
It doesn't strike me as paranoia. Thinking that industrial espionage doesn't happen seems naive.

What they have is an admitted saboteur and code that exports data to third parties. It quacks like a duck. A disgruntled employee succumbed to or sought out people who wished to do harm to Tesla.

There's plenty of evidence of similar things happening. (edit to fix words)

If you work in the defense industry you get things like this drilled into you as regular required training. It's not paranoia, it happens regularly.

He's a bit odd in how he addresses the problem, and calling out potential threats was perhaps an unusual choice, but not unwarranted.

American companies have overthrown governments to benefit their business, stealing secrets and sabotaging a competitor isn't exactly out of the ordinary.
I agree that there is a bit of a cyclical nature to the homogeneity of music, but the homogenisation we've seen in the last 15 years has been unprecedented in modern times. It's not just the genres, it's also the people involved in the industry. The number of top flight producers is much smaller now than it was 20 years ago, and those producers are involved in almost all the mainstream chart music. The number of writers is smaller, and the music gets produced in a similar way, lessening the importance of musical ability by the artist.

My personal theory is that the movement away from 'record stores' has really killed discoverability of new music and genres, and most of the new platforms just feed you more of the same music you already listen to.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next decade, you may be absolutely right about a backlash against the ultra-commercialised nature of some of our modern toys.
How long before this feature fits in a cell phone , I wonder.

What I had been told was that they commuted "as if" they had infinite precision pi (rather than reduction modulo some approximation)
1. that's exactly what I said I would do by paying off all my debts. This is a life with no debts. zero loan, no mortgages. Plus, like I said, I would still have enough cash on the side (about half a million) so I wouldn't have to worry about saving a dollar anymore. That 9-5 steady income would become like a plus rather than a necessity like 99% of the world.

2. That's not a short term goal. I don't care about increasing my income right away. I'm already making enough money as a software engineer working in the Bay Area. I don't need more money technically speaking. Problem is, I can't work at a 9-5 job anymore. Why would someone work at a 9-5 job? To pay bills? To buy a car? To buy a house? To have a steady income, etc. Like I said, I'd use that money to make my 9-5 job as obsolete as possible for a smooth transition to generating money on my own.

Where I live (Bay Area), $500k gets you a one car garage. I don't necessarily want to live in a place where schools aren't that great and where there's no opportunities. I'm not talking about living a luxurious life in San Francisco, but looking at places in Texas, Washington state and any other tech hubs, $500k gets you a house. Not a mansion. Not willing to move to Nebraska yet or Wisconsin... nothing against these 2 beautiful states but again, it's about opportunities for us and our kids. I said $500k which is my original budget, it depends on where my wife and I decides to move. Again, today, I make about $200k/year and I don't own a house. If I spend $500k in a house tomorrow, it ain't gonna change anything but the fact that I own a house outright. You see where I'm going? It's not about not being smart or not knowing how to manage money... nothing to do with a lottery winner like you said. This is pure extra money to me. Should I put it in a bank account and not touch it for the next 10 years? Worst investment ever... real estate will bring way more money than waiting for the FED to print out more papers. $500k US paper dollars will be worth $250k in 10 years. I already have various investments, crypto, bonds, index funds.

Also, as a home owner you have what it's called tax itemization. $24k/year if you don't itemize. A house that is paid off would cost me less than a rental. Keep that in mind. People are used to think that buying a house puts you in debts for life. It won't be the case since I would buy the house cash and still be making enough money per year. It's all about that transition from my 9-5 job to a fully autonomous business. If I fail with my project, I won't go bankrupt thanks to being out of debts with half a milli on the side. working at mcdonald's would be enough for me to end up positive at the end of the month.
Which indicates a different problem if the sabatuer was on that short list. And in this day and age of cryptographically signed commits, the number of people who could do this should go down even further.

Given this, I think it’s much more likely there were few or bad controls, than a person in an incredibly privileged position working in the margins.
I think I’ve seen the feature you describe on one chip reader... ever.
There's a great big world out there. Just because you work in hedge funds doesn't mean you've seen everything.

No doubt there are more Billions-esque shady practices out there in the wild than you know.
Too. Late.
It's weird that we have so many people directing their protests towards the tech companies, and not the government itself. The whole premise of capitalism is that profit-motivated-corporations will inevitably succumb to evil temptations. That it's the government's job to regulate corporations, and police their moral behavior.

Instead, we have the complete opposite. Americans expect the government/military to engage in morally unacceptable behavior, and are looking to corporations to "enforce" morality instead, by denying the government specific services.

Not that there is anything wrong with tech companies and workers doing their part. But when we see corporations as the best catalyst for pro-social outcomes, and not the government itself, there's something very wrong with our political system.
Like the rest, he will eventually move manufacturing overseas, and all will be happy.

As someone who grew up in a western Buddhist community (and skimmed the article), this rings true to me.

I largely credit my success at work to the tools for working with my mind imparted by my upbringing and continued practice. However, mindfulness is just one of those tools.

There are forms of meditation that build upon mindfulness that I would argue can be very helpful to motivation. To put it another way, once you are able to focus your mind on the present moment, there are other things you can focus it on.

For instance, if I've got a meeting coming up where I need to partner with people with whom I know I usually have a combative relationship, engaging in a compassion meditation, such as Tonglen, motivates me to see their problems and want to help solve them.

Mindfulness itself is wonderful, but it is among the most basic of techniques for training your mind. It is remarkably comparable to physical exercise, where a basic level of activity yields amazing results for your overall health, but must be accompanied by specific training if you want to dramatically change your physical capabilities.

Define Unlimited. Because there is no such thing as unlimited.

The average household uses 250GB per month with broadband.

An HEVC 1Mbps stream should offer decent enough quality on a mobile phone. That is only 30GB a month if you watch 2 hours everyday. And if you live in EU that is hardly a problem even with 4G network. It is a problem with high population density such as Tokyo, Hong Kong or Philippines. But 5G will fix all those capacity problem.

Most of the problem you read / have are likely from US. In 2016 the data show US has 3 times less cell tower per area when comparing to UK or other EU countries, but US is also much less populated. I have no idea how the business maths works out or if there are any regulation that requires them to cover most part of US.
As an Australian it's horrifying to hear the US experience with 911. We dial 000, and the standard experience is that it's picked up straight away, you answer "Police, Ambulance, or Fire" and "State and Town" and you'll be speaking to a call-taker in less than half a minute. Every now and then something goes wrong (like a big cable gets cut) and the national Telco gets an appropriately huge flogging, but 99.9% of the time it's clockwork.

What legal basis is there for a car to behave differently during an emissions test?

Its not like it has to machine learn which jurisdiction its in to tune its emissions, they know which region its going to be sold in and can make the appropriate settings. Even if some sort of detection were needed the emissions test isn't your key as not every car undergoes it, only a sample.
Is the logic here that because some conspiracy theories have turned out to be true, all conspiracy theories are likely true?

That seems... unwise.

You should tell Bezos that.
It in the abstract it isn’t “no more irrational”, it is “on average, clearly better” that is the target. So while I agree on the psychology being different it’s entirely plausible that we have to figure out how to communicate this on i dear to have measurable improvement.
Good to see for once someone with influence being so clear.
I guess you’ve never worked at a startup? Tesla is still very much a young and rambunctious company.
This is really cool, but are there any uses for this outside of slow-mo shots in showbiz? Certainly interpolated frames lack the fidelity to be of scientific use.
No, you don't want to detach from the self. The point of mindfulness is to see that concept of an independent, separate self, separate from everything else is an illusion and we are interconnected. You are still you, but part of a bigger system.
The lore for PoE is actually super deep and fascinating (as we as dark, even Diablo would be like "damn dude, that's hardcore" about some of the stuff that goes down), but it's much more in the background and you have to pay close attention to pick it up. The game takes on a different feel though when you dig into the lore and start to understand and recognize the stuff that you come across. I kinda like this design actually, makes it feel more satisfying and mysterious, but it is also convenient because you can ignore it if you're not interested (PoE greatly emphasizes many repeated playthroughs for people unfamiliar).

> He's been blaming everyone else but himself for every single little mistake

Really? I guess you glossed over him personally accepting responsibility for pushing Model X's falcon wing doors even though it was a mistake; and personally accepting responsibility for automating too much of the Model 3's assembly line which has caused massive delays.

And those are just the two examples that spring to mind of him apologizing personally and acknowledging the weaknesses of his personality, multiple times, in public.

Maybe you should reevaluate your absolutism.
From the friends I know who worked (past tense) at Tesla, that is worrying but far from surprising.
The number of Uber/Lyft rides a day pales in comparison to the number of public transit rides.
They have said in an interview that they intend every dollar pledged to go into development, so in some ways what you are saying makes sense.

They do have an actual roadmap now though so that's promising. Also SQ42 will come out at some point between now and the Star Citizens launch so they will have a hype cycle they need to release at the right time for.
Microsoft acquires education startup Flipgrid
I don’t understand a lot of the criticisms at modern ui/ux patterns in this post. Ex: complaining about the hidden settings menu in chrome. Most people just want their applications to work and have the most common functions easily accessible. I am sure most users of chrome don’t ever need to delve into settings and are happy with the minimal set of options presented to them and that user testing backs this decision.
I don't see why this is a problem. However, sometimes you can't escape your situation and sometimes you have to do things you don't like to support yourself and others. This is not incompatible with mindfulness.
The only one out of that list that comes close to the style and gameplay of Descent or Wing Commander or TIE Fighter is Elite: Dangerous.
My CPU is "Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz" par lscpu(1), and I have 4Gb RAM. I should not have to struggle running end-user desktop software except inherently-heavy tasks like video editing and similar memory-heavy or very CPU-intensive stuff. And running a text editor, a compiler and a debugger is definitely not so. I'll go as far as saying that most desktop software that I can't run easily is just plain bloatware. Android Studio, definitely checks out.

I don't know Gradle, I'll try when I have free time. I have one project which can be better off as a Java API app (based mostly on Intents). WRT Flutter, I have not experienced any performance problems with it so far; though I haven't built a "production-ready app" yet. But given it'd mostly be a rare task, that'd be bearable.
People are shorting Tesla because its CEO is mentally unstable, not because of some conspiracy.
Great comment, but I’m not sure what events you’re referring to when you say:

You're completely right. I was on the fence as to whether it was sarcasm or not, decided not based on "I agree.".

Well done, internet intention interpreter dolessdrugs.
Code review is a policy. If there's automated enforcement, it's through software written by someone, configured by someone, on a server that someone has root access to, in a room that someone has physical access to. If you have code signing, someone set up and patches the code signing server. Someone configures the code signing enforcement plane on the target devices. Someone gets to provision new accounts and enroll new keys.

Code reviews are a thing, but physical/mathematical assurance that zero people in your organization can bypass them are not. However amazing your tower of automation and policy may be, there's at least one sysadmin underneath it all, and at least one guy with keys to the cabinet underneath him. That only starts to diverge when you're running on FIPS 140-2 Level 3+ HSMs and you need to assemble a quorum of operators to do anything. And those are quite easy to sabotage - just trip the tamper protection mechanisms.
If you are going to keep your 9 to 5 job, coolios. Enjoy house hunting.

But I am responding to your assertion that you plan to quit:

I'm seing it as a huge opportunity for me to transition to my ideal life, no debts, no boss.

The missing part is generating an income by myself to pay the remaining bills, etc.

It sounds to me like you are getting incredibly worked up about what I've said and offended and I don't understand that at all. So, I regret replying at all and enjoy your inheritance.
And so too must end the age of zero accountability for journalists publishing opinion pieces with leading speculation posing as facts.
