That article highlights the need for having a good teacher, and teaching meditation together with ethical guidelines. It also smells very much like someone has something to lose by meditations rising popularity (ie, drug companies pushing the mentioned Prozac). It's full of slimy, non commital wording (like many, a lot and some) and also full of experiences that are made to sound terribly negative but don't really matter at all.

Meditation _can_ make you hallucinate, it _can_ make you burst into tears or fits of laughter, it can do a lot of things (although I've never known meditation to CAUSE seizures?! Come on... Show me some proof of that.) That is why working with a _good_ teacher is very important. In their 40+ years of experience, they've been there. You have to apply to go on our retreats, and if a teacher, for whatever reason, doesn't think it's a good idea that you go, then he or she will encourage you not to and if it was required would prevent you from going, although I've never known it to come to this. There are probably people that need to go to a counselor, therapist or psychologist before sitting with themselves for long periods.

Furthermore (and in my humble opinion) you should get the hell away from any meditation teacher that implies you're channeling a spirit guide or speaking to God. There's some fruity 'Guru's' out there. Do your research. Don't believe or expect miracles. Don't submit to anyone. Act ethically at all times and take some responsibility for your own actions.

Standardized identity as a service with a distributed client/server approach like email. Companies can offer their own service and customers sign up to their chosen provider.

Users are supplied with controls to determine what components of their identity third parties can access. A "work" profile, a "friend profile" etc.

Third parties integrate the standarized identity profiles but have no control over what specific data they can access.

I have a fairly simple idea for an application to assist with meeting planning. As far as I can tell, no one has a product out there that does what I think our app should do.

However, I'm technologically limited, I can't really program (although I've completed all the tutorials at codeacademy). I don't think it will take more than a couple weeks to build a prototype. There are several iterations that can be added to the tool, but for the beginning it's about keeping it simple to fill a need. I have resources for start-up costs and I can handle a lot of the business side of things.

If anyone is interested in talking more, let me know.

Unfortunately it's not possible to "stop" designing web UI as there is no standarzied ui library in html/css. Web apps have been shoehorned into a system that was never intended to behave like an app.

Stopping random UI experiments would require a replacement system designed specifically for web apps that access a standard library of controls.
Propolis Benefits as a Natural Antibiotic
This feedback is exactly why I posted - and thanks for the scenario. We def bring a lot more to the table than ideas (UI design, proven branding and marketing knowledge/experience; enough skills to jump in wherever needed and whenever needed - "Hey, write me some CSS for that page while I tweak xyz..." "OK, done.") - and the site is admittedly more of a marketing play then a tech play (words of another hacker that's reviewed materials to date). That said, super valid points re. someone 'hopscotching' and well spotted on 12hour days in Siberia. That said, I work about 16 on average and still enjoy the view (and weather) a lot more in those down hours - so surely environment carries some equity. No mai tais in Russia... good Vodka though!
Sit at end of a chair, your lower back straight (so your whole back forms the natural, self-supporting "S").
Make your palms rest on your thighs or knees, in a way where your arms don't place strain on your sitting position.
The rest doesn't matter, over time you will experiment and find what suits you best - opened eyes vs closed eyes, etc. etc. I prefer opened eyes as closed eyes make me sleepy/dreamy.
Briefly realize, that for a few minutes starting now, nothing in the whole world matters to you, except of what you are going to do right now.
Look inside. Initially, your random thoughts are a great help because you can observe them. By observing them, you can be sure that you are indeed looking inside. Their natural reaction upon their observation is their dissipation and vanishing.
Whenever you read a thought, hear a sound, or see an image, only focus your attention on it, which makes it dissipate. At one point your mind will be cleared. That is OK, just be. Don't "try" to stay in that state. Don't "try" anything. Just when a new thought pops up, focus your attention to it until it dissipates - this is usually a very quick process.
Rinse and repeat. :) (edit: by focusing attention I don't mean entertaining the thought, entering it, but rather only observing it from the outside, just knowing that it's there, this is a very subtle effort.) (edit2: one more thing - eventually you're going to be finding yourself thinking about something, building air castles, day dreaming, etc. - always just bring yourself back into the practice, right upon realizing that your have strayed.)

Funnily the actual word for humanoid robots is android, but it seems Star Wars whacked the meaning of droid so far off its original meaning (screw you R2D2) that for the masses the meanings of robot and android are reversed.

If you go to his wiki page, you can see his employment history and get an idea for how much he has been compensated at his various companies. If anything, he was at Apple mainly for the money.
Considering 150 million devices and their quoted "These metrics comprise 10's of gigs of data per day", let's assume 10's of gigs to be 50GB (10's of gigs is less than a hundred and more than 10, so let's go with the middle ground).

50GB spread over 150 million users comes out as ~333 bytes per user and day.

Of course, the transmission of that data is likely more bursty, but even if it transmits all the data in one go, that's only 10K per month.

So your argument about the limit doesn't really fly because even if they did charge for for that data (which they probably do), considering a limit of 1GB per month, those 10k would be 0.001% of your monthly allowance, so it's probably not even detectable by their overcharge detection algorithm.

Now. Don't get me wrong: This kind of malware is really bad and shouldn't be on these phones, or if it is, it should be opt-in for the purpose of remote support.

It's just important that we hate it for the right reasons (security, privacy).
So you're basically saying that Facebook will open-up because Google may force them by using their quasi-monopoly, pulling an IExplorer versus Netscape on them.

However, I have my doubts that this will work, quite the contrary - Google may have GMail and Youtube, but while Google was experimenting with shoving Buzz down on Gmail users' throats, Facebook was busy becoming a platform. Which is the reason why Facebook is now on its way to become THE identity provider for the Internet, the reason why Facebook is the preferred method of login for services like Foursquare.

And unfortunately for Google, the trust of other businesses in them has been eroded in time. For example, only Google could piss off an entire category of businesses by crawling their content and presenting it as its own, with graphical results on the first page of any location-related search: http://www.google.com/places/

It's a shame really, because if Google was considered a benevolent-dictator of the Internet, than trust itself would have been enough for third-parties to consider integration with them. In this instance however I'm seeing other online services just picking Facebook, as while they are evil, at least they are the ones with soon-to-reach 1 billion users.

Youtube integration will be awesome, but that's not enough when the rest of the Internet is on Facebook. Also, checkout what Facebook did with pictures uploads. They are effectively killing Flickr. I'm seeing them doing the same for movie uploads ... they probably haven't felt the need for doing that, seeing that the preferred way of distributing Youtube videos to friends is Facebook ;)
In NA the retailer is only, legally, involved up to the first 30 days. After that the manufacturer warranty takes over, which can be anywhere from 90 days to 5 years depending on the device.

30 days, some items can be less and some stores (Costco) can have a longer return/exchange period.

I disagree, they were worryingly frequent in the past but I relatively rarely see them these days.
A camera however isn't aimed at being used by children. However part of Sugru's marketing is that it can make a camera child-safe; with the implication that it can be used by children. This potentially makes them liable, while a normal camera manufacture probably isn't.

As for the medical tubing, I agree that is what I would probably choose, but again it's that through their marketing of 'safe for medical tubing' when it hasn't undergone any applicable safety tests; they have potentially made themselves liable should anything go wrong.

It comes down to the fact that if they've marketed it as suitable for such-and-such then they should make sure they've undergone any safety tests that other products use in similar situations.

I'm an iPhone user, but I'm moving to Android (via Galaxy Nexus) very soon, and I think your app will be one of the first ones I install. And it's great to hear that it helps you practicing for over a year, that's just wonderful. Do you have intervals of more days in a row when you don't practice at all?
One idea for the app - build a reminder into it - but a random one. One that sounds an alarm at unexpected time of day. This might be great for cheating the evading mind.

"the site is admittedly more of a marketing play then a tech play" — that could actually be an advantage if it means you chiefly need coders for a couple of months to get things started, rather than a multi-year commitment. Makes it look more like a vacation.
No one is arguing about the need for testing. They are saying that testing on the moon adds nothing.
You could use a virtual machine library (if anything suitable exists) and run everything inside one executable - it would probably have horrid performance but you get rid of the single binary restriction. You can put on a nice front-end and tell the user how much longer he has to wait until the operation is complete.

Nobody uses (Knuth's) TeX anymore. They use PDFTeX, XeTeX and LuaTeX. None of these are as stable as TeX, but in practice a whole lot better than most other software I use.
Well you obviously weren't careful enough. Nowhere in the article does he talk about a 4 GB binary or binaries. To quote him:"A 4GB Tex distribution dependant on over a 100 binaries" He is talking about the _whole_ distribution not a single or several binaries. So even though you were careful, you still misquoted the article.
Indeed, there is no such thing as too big to fail, however you can say of certain companies that they are too big to fail easily. Facebook was once small and fragile. Not anymore.

What changes is the web framework style

The changes are a lot deeper than that. The web is increasingly against sharing, against cooperation, against standards.

Sorry, I just found this a day after you left your comment. I'm a little stumped at how you read my comment that way, because that wasn't at all what I was thinking when I wrote it (and I tried to be clear in what I wrote).

I do not think that racism and sexism help us make better decisions; I think that acknowledging our own racist and sexist biases can help us make better decisions. i.e., if we become aware of the problem, then we can address it.

I do not condone or excuse racist or sexist behavior, either.

A lot of the original article was founded on the idea that we can have cognitive biases -- prejudices -- that we don't mean to, or even that we are aware of, and that those biases and prejudices can affect other people. I thought it was worth standing up and admitting that these biases are a part of my psychology, and by doing so, take the first steps towards creating a better environment for other people.

I was especially prompted to speak up because of the tendency for people in discussions like this to downplay their own vulnerability to such biases. The default response seems to be, "these are just the people that are interested in this industry, so I don't see a problem." I think it's better to say, "there might be a problem that we aren't fully aware of yet, so we should examine it more closely."

Hope this helps clear things up.

I found this, from January 2010 (note the "including the US trademark"):

LibLime (which is actually a trade name of Columbus, Ohio based Metavore, Inc.) was started in 2005 by Joshua Ferraro, Tina Berger and two others. LibLime has been the hardest-charging and fastest-growing proponent of the Koha Library System in the world. Over the intervening years, LibLime has acquired key Koha-related assets, including the US trademark, copyrights to Koha source code, and the Koha website. The combination of PTFS and LibLime will be supporting 640 installations of Koha under 123 contracts

If that was in 2010, why is it a big issue now?
Only someone not related to typesetting can say that LaTeX is dead. Exactly the opposite is true.

I thought this excerpt from a Krishnamurti talk (found in a link from this thread: http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-tex...) sums up meditation perfectly:

"To learn about meditation, you have to see how your mind is working. You have to watch, as you watch a lizard going by, walking across the wall. You see all its four feet, how it sticks to the wall, and as you watch, you see all the movements. In the same way, watch your thinking. Do not correct it. Do not suppress it. Do not say, ``All this is too difficult''. Just watch; now, this morning.

First of all sit absolutely still. Sit comfortably, cross your legs, sit absolutely still, close your eyes, and see if you can keep your eyes from moving. You understand? Your eye balls are apt to move, keep them completely quiet, for fun. Then, as you sit very quietly, find out what your thought is doing. Watch it as you watched the lizard. Watch thought, the way it runs, one thought after another. So you begin to learn, to observe.

Are you watching your thoughts - how one thought pursues another thought, thought saying, ``This is a good thought, this is a bad thought''? When you go to bed at night, and when you walk, watch your thought. Just watch thought, do not correct it, and then you will learn the beginning of meditation. Now sit very quietly. Shut your eyes and see that the eyeballs do not move at all. Then watch your thoughts so that you learn. Once you begin to learn there is no end to learning."
Certainly.

This was user testing with groups of young people in Tower Hamlets, London in 2010.

Aside from testing the UX spec we talked more widely around discovery and every group indicated that they began most tasks with a search on YouTube. Music, games, movies, homework research: all started visually on YT.

Facebook came up because the majority of these kids didn't have email addresses, instead doing all their email-like conversations on Facebook messaging and their IM on Blackberry BBM.
As someone who yearns to start an education start-up I think this is very good reading.

TL;DR from Quora:

Most entrepreneurs in education build the wrong type of business, because entrepreneurs think of education as a quality problem. The average person thinks of it as a cost problem.

Building in education does not follow an Internet company’s growth curve. Do it because you want to fix problems in education for the next 20 years.

There are opportunities in education in servicing the poor in the US and building a company in Asia — not in selling to the middle class in the US.

The underlying culture will change and expose interesting opportunities in the long term, but probably not for another 5 years.

"Makes it look more like a vacation."
True assuming an MVP in exchange for a short vacation sounds fair; and effectively that was our thought - spend the time to get it launched here, then go home.

BUT, equity in exchange would be restricted stock options with vesting clauses - so longer commitment required beyond an MVP. If we had e.g., 1/2+ the cash to pay a team for 6 weeks full-time that might be fair w/no equity and a 'paid vacation' on reduced salary; but I personally wouldn't go for that... not without an extra month of no-work live-in included anyway!
