Meditation on the Buddhist tradition is more like 'leaning in' or becoming immersed in your experience. It's certainly not at all about achieving a blank state, or detachment. Not saying there isn't a meditation tradit

Definitely don't come to the West and try to talk with the upper classes with your current English level.

I think the jobs listed are simply ephemera of the current state of the internet, technology, and media rather than a reflection of 'the future'. Although, I do agree that with the thread that jobs of the future have little promis

I wonder how many of these comments are made by Apple's legal or PR team posing as normal people... Certainly they have the reach and resources for this kind of thing too. Rarely do we get to have a real public discussion on such topic

Definitely worth more research into possible mechanisms, but until studies account for the numerous contamination issues (lead, etc.) that many different home supplements carry, then there is going to be a mystery factor in so many of these

I literally just started this combo. I've been on Vyvanse but just added Lexapro to address other issues. My psych seems to think med vacations are a bad idea due to instability. Any thoughts on how they're helping out?

Yeah, I guess the Head of the Department of Economics at Oxford must have missed out on that classical training somehow.

You clearly don't know what it's like to live on minimum wage right now. It's extremely difficult to live anywhere even close to the Bay area on minimum wage, which let's be real, a call center employee would be on. Publ

Not to go tin hat here either, but it seems very weird that just a few hours after this was submitted, it has by far the most upvotes and comments on hacker news, yet is near the bottom of the page. I wonder how much manual influence YC put

Wow. That's really disturbing actually...The layers of power and control are so mind bogglingly intricate. Eric Schmidt just demonstrated how finely tuned and detailed power actually is today. To know of a single paper and effectively

Good point. From the outside it does appear Travis go caught up in himself more than focusing on his real role.

At the end of all the complicated business cycle explanations above, yep this is pretty much it. I would add that we have allowed the elite to design the economic system we all live in, and they have spun some really strong incentives for g

There's a really big difference between leftists and liberals, actually. A larger difference than between mainstream Republicans and the tea party, I'd say. Most leftists camouflage as liberals in everyday conversation because the

Approaching with math and large amounts of data are actually really great because you can start to account for variability and the flaws of traditional theoretical economics. Hard part now is determining who is twisting analysis for ideolog

Idk... He admits upfront that the standard critiques have merit, but that recent shifts to hard data are a positive upheaval(thank you, you hackers you).

The biggest problem I run into with this is that I believe the bounds of rationality for different individuals had far more variability than is accounted for. I suppose it's still useful to look at for a perspective on some things thou

Actually, how many low cognitive load, high paying jobs will allow people to work a casual 20 hour work week, and take days off or call in sick with little repercussions? Most middle class jobs, such as the one I have now will require a ful

I worked in Seattle at minimum wage through this for a "small employer"(this term isn't very nuanced) who was still a millionaire and making huge profits. More significant than the cost of any wage hikes he was experiencing

Ha,I am actually one of those people who were being studied. I was a minimum wage worker in Seattle through both of these wage hikes. There are a lot of assumptions being made here that don't reflect reality. The biggest though is that

That's great and all, but ignores the bigger picture of our world and current society. You have developed this for yourself, but it's pretty much meaningless if you're not actively putting time and energy towards addressing

I think what good we have now is that there is more information access parity. Note I specified 'access', not true information parity. This is but a single aspect of what transformation would be required for there to be true equal

It's ironic, and hilarious frankly, that your reply about vapidity was much more vapid than what you were complaining about. Why don't you offer something of substance rather than complaining about substance.You are part of the &#
