It's extremely important that you learn as early as possible in your career that your employer is not your friend. You are only a cog in the wheel to them. All the way up to the top you are replaceable.

Once you make this shift in thinking, it opens the doors to you increasing your status in the company, doing more interesting work and making way more money.

Stop doing any favours to your employer and start putting yourself first. The result is mutually beneficial in the long run.

>But "practicing mindfulness" is suggesting the cure is easy

Not really, no. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a fairly popular psychotherapeutic approach that makes use of mindfulness. The objective of ACT is to move patients towards valued behaviour and a meaningful life. In order to achieve that, it uses mindfulness practice to facilitate acceptance of distressing internal experiences and re-orient the patient towards the present moment.

It's very easy to say "just do stuff that matters to you", but there are all sorts of internal obstacles to that. Some people are very anxious and find it more comfortable to avoid new experiences, even if those experiences might ultimately be rewarding. Some people are lacking in confidence and assume that they'll fail at anything they try. Some people are so overwhelmed by emotional pain that they struggle to just get out of bed in the morning. Some people are stuck in self-destructive habits that temporarily soothe their distress but worsen the circumstances that contribute to their distress.

Mindfulness doesn't fix a crappy life, but it's a useful tool. If you can observe your anxious thoughts as just thoughts passing through your mind, you might give them a bit less credence. If you can learn to sit with your distress and tolerate it, you might be a bit less likely to have that drink or distract yourself with a video game or cut your wrists. If you can learn to focus more on the present moment, you might worry a bit less about whether you'll succeed or fail and take a bit more pleasure in the experience of trying.

His blog post pays no mention of users whose DNS queries are being redirected. Isn't that a privacy concern?

Hotels and ISPs sometimes set up captive portals that intercept and redirect port 53 to their own choice of DNS servers.

As such, users might want memorise the addresses of some resolvers that listen on non-standard ports (not port 53).

A user behind one of these captive portals who pings any of the resolvers in this blog post will not be pinging those servers; she will be pinging the hotel/ISP's chosen DNS servers and she may be none the wiser.

You’re like the main character in Hurt Locker at the end of the movie. He has come home from deployment and is standing in a supermarket. The mundane, everyday reality of First World civilian life seems meaningless in contrast.

So he goes back for another deployment. Another deployment in a pointless and meaningless war, yet another racket that has everything to do with the interests of the powerful and nothing to do with sentimental crap like serving your country. But he feels that it is meaningful.

You have a major choices in life - conduct yourself the way you'd want people to conduct themselves, or not. This choice dictates the type of person you are, and the type of person you want to be.

Whilst I may despise many a situation - I'll constantly attempt to treat others the way I'd like to be treated. I'll also fail, because I'm human. It's part of being the change, part of doing more than just complaining about the problem.

If people want to conduct themselves thusly, it's their issue - but don't let it negatively define who you are.

In the exact same way that some of the people who are not enthusiastic aren't people who haven't looked at Hooks and don't understand them. Maybe they aren't enthusiastic even though they do understand them.

That is exactly the point. Not your experience since the 1990s or my sarcasm, but not assuming that if someone does not agree with your view must be because they don't understand.

On Apple; on a 1 year timeline APPL beats the S&P 500 by 5%. But I don't think Buffett measures his investments on a 1 year timeline; and to be honest to your comment, he made the underpriced comment on Aug 31, 6 months ago.

"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year," he said. "I focus on the ... hundreds, hundreds, hundreds millions of people who practically live their lives by it [iPhone]."

Apple does continue to boost services income, keep cash on hand, pay dividends, and do share buybacks, all with a P/E below major utility stocks -- things Buffett traditionally considers.

What if Spotify is my favorite podcast player? Since I pay the subscription it's much better than other one's with ads. I got as a music player first, getting all of my podcasts there as well is a nice benefit.
I don't really see how this hurts podcasting though, pretty sure you can still host podcasts elsewhere, just that with Spotify you could reach a greater audience.

It's possible to balance this with proper game design. Look at Guild Wars 1 for example. Most of the content comes in small 0.5-1h pieces in form of missions, so a casual player can advance at his own pace. The "power" of gear quickly evens out, and what remains afterwards is gathering better looking weapons/armor (even though their stats are identical to the cheap weapons/armor). Even then, a casual player can just focus on getting and using the items that look cool to him, while a hardcore player can work on getting all the possible cool items, just in case or to use as achievements to show off.

Warren Buffet would be the first to tell you that how the market prices an investment on any given day, has very little to do with the intrinsic value of that investment. Just because Apple went down relative to when he invested, that doesn't mean it was a bad investment. Markets go up and down in unpredictable ways. As they say, in the short term the market is a voting machine, in the long run it's a weighing machine.

By this time, I think it's become clear that Apple's disappointing results were entirely caused by the macroeconomic conditions in China and nothing else. Certainly not because of increases in their product prices like you speculate.

I lived in Mali for 2 years, didn't have hot water, sometime no running water at all. Electricity shut down regularly. I got Malaria. When the war arrived, I lost all my money, and my company.

I had a great time there.

E.G: I remember warmly about the generosity of a Malian family sharing with me their (disgusting) fish and rice diner in a dirty court, on the floor, all hands in the same big wooden bowl.

On the other hand, a friend of mine recently had lunch with me, returning from hollidays in Cuba. She was horrified by the experience, seing only the totalitarian state and the poverty. She didn't have hot water, so she decided not to shower for the whole trip.

She couldn't find a way to enjoy anything there.

E.G: she felt so sad about the omelette a local made for her, thinking it was depressing he had so little, and yet felt obligated to share the few precious eggs he had.

It's all about what experience you wish to have, what are the things you really value. There is no right answer for that of course, and yours is no better than mine.

Of interest to HN.

Specifically, the bill Lyft has proposed and is attempting to pass would eliminate the ability of every Oregon city from taking the following common sense steps to protect TNC passengers:

...
- Collecting local data, which is critical for understanding congestion and climate impacts.
...

TNC providers are not eager to reveal any more of their data than they have to, for reasons of proprietary advantage. Similarly they understandably don't want to take on the operational cost of having to comply with many local requirements. (I work in data at a tech company; I can sympathize with their point of view.)

Yet if urban mobility ultimately becomes a good provided by tech monopolies, we want to make sure local governments are in on the loop with respect to the knowledge and data those companies have, and have some leverage to enforce local requirements.

Applications to current issues regarding privacy regulation, antitrust and tech monopolies, and the potential rollout of autonomous vehicles are left as an exercise for the reader.

On unixes, traceroute typically uses UDP by default (nowadays, ICMP is often an option, as are TCP SYN packets). Windows' tracert uses ICMP.

Humans are "Hard" because they are individuals with their own motivations, drives, capricious emotions and in a word, are not always "rational". I feel most of the books on management/organizations/communications, approach Human Communications from a utopian viewpoint. They assume a path of least resistance and then impose a structured process (fad of the month) to arrive at a positive end goal. I have come to the conclusion that this is all unworkable BS (note books like "Leadership BS", "Bullshit Jobs" etc.) and we need to change our approach completely based on actual realities rather than wishful thinking. To that end i found the following books useful;

The post seems to be slightly confused about the Arm DSB and ISB instructions. These don't affect the caches at all -- they are barriers, which affect ordering and pipelining. DSB says "don't go any further until all memory accesses made by instructions before this one have completed", and ISB says "flush the pipeline so the next insn is reread from the cache" (among other things). So self-modifying and other tricky code needs to consider these insn ordering issues as well as cache manipulation, and barrier insns aren't a substitute for doing the cache maintenance.
>Politics is not a truth-seeking exercise. It's no science, law or even journalism. It's an allegiance & authority forming exercise.

I don’t think journalism belongs there. Journalism is more similar to politics. It’s not particularly truthseeking and is more inclined toward narrative and painting a story via omissions and not being disinterested.

Even The Economist, which is generally well thought of by all sides, is up front about their agenda (global free trade), even they are prone to being agents of misinformation and taking the wrong side for the sake of their ideology.

I’ve started the HelpCenter.io project with the main idea to provide an affordable solution for every solo entrepreneur or business to quickly create help centers for their app/service/product thus reap the benefits of having one. The app has recently went out of beta and we are up for releasing a new dashboard design and more great features this year.

Feel free to give it a try with our 14 days free trial which won’t ask for payment details unless you decide to give us a chance. Many people ask why we don’t have a free subscription plan and I would like to explain. There are few reasons for this and the most prominent one is “quality” — more specifically 2 types of quality.

First, the quality we want to provide. No business is able to persistently provide good service for free and even 1 customer has their operational costs. We are building a sustainable product and we can guarantee that we won’t shut it down even if we only have 1 user.

Second, the quality of the websites being created with helpcenter.io. Anybody would like to be sure that their help center is in a good company, not surrounded by all kinds of crappy websites. We can provide such guarantee only when everybody has to pay for this service.

Hope you like what we are building and striving for. Looking forward for any feedback and ideas you might have.

This article is full of bul. Here is another article where WB suggests that you don't need such a big a brain: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/12/heres-the-iq-score-warren-bu...

There are many things going on here:

1. WB came at a time where little IQ could get you a lot ahead. People were not skilled. There was a time where some knowledge of writing, reading and basic math could make a factory director. Now the same knowledge might not get you at the door of that same factory.

2. WB came at a time where it was easy to acquire and build. These were times when land was cheap. Competition was easy. And lots of sectors were not developed yet. Not the same circumstances now. Or, it is. I mean if I tell you there is some cheap land somewhere: let's go and build and invest. In 20 years it'll be worth a lot. Would you go for the deal?

3. WB age is 88. I'd rather have a couple million USD in my thirties than having a billion by the time I'm 80.

4. WB probably made extreme lifestyle sacrifices to have more digits in his bank account and more troubles/reports to read everyday.

TL;DR: WB suggests that you should be wise and reasonable. That's good. People suggests that you should follow WB. That's bad (unless reading financial statements is your hobby).
