Re:Startup Reading List
on Monday May 30, 2016 @06:15AM (#11800578)
A real entrepreneur wouldn't bother reading these books. They'd be too busy working on their idea and learning firsthand.
I've read two titles from this list (The Lean Startup and Trust Me, I’m Lying) and halfway through both realised I knew it already.
No book has all the answers. It's better to attack a business idea intelligently in your own unique way.

Another good read that's akin to Pricenomics is Tedium: http://tedium.co. I get it about once a week in my inbox, and unlike most email newsletters I actually read this one.

Duck Go !Bang: http://duckgobang.com is a blog that tests bangs (some listed on Duck Duck Go are broken) and showcases the most useful ones.
Bangs are such a cool search hack, I wonder why more people don't use it.

Some bangs listed there are broken, others lead to really crappy websites. Duck Go Bang tests the bangs and chooses only the most useful ones, hence the motto "Best Bangs for the Duck".

Re:For some, meditation has become more curse than cure
on Monday May 23, 2016 @10:44PM (#11758658)
I meditate two hours a day, every day. Mostly Zazen. I haven't experienced mental breakdowns. However, when I first started using imagery as a focal point, I would weep uncontrollably about mid-way through my meditation session. I think it was a release of pent-up emotion.
It lasted about a week and then stopped completely.

This article seems relevant for my situation. A few days ago I released project management software called Wheatbin: http://wheatbin.com. It's my first contribution to Open Source.
The github repo is here: https://github.com/wheatbin/wheatbin
The software works great for my needs, but it would be nice to see Wheatbin evolve through community involvement. I wasn't sure if that happened organically or if there were things I could do to get that started.

Your article is timely. Two days ago I went live on my first github project called Wheatbin: http://wheatbin.com and I'm not sure what to expect.
Thanks for sharing your insights. And Vym is a great name!

I go on longs walks a lot, and a few months ago I bought a poker stick to pick up the plastic bottles I see littered everywhere. My walks are no longer purposeless, but I feel better when I come back with a garbage bag of plastic that will be recycled rather then end up in our soil and water supply.
Here's the poker stick I bought: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0042SNCGA/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UT...

Opera is staging and making some last minute "value adds" before selling to a Chinese Tech company: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-10/opera-soft...
It has nothing to do with surviving. They just want to cash out.

Facebook is a large company that needs to lobby the federal government on a variety of issues, which necessitates a presence in DC.
What a ridiculous statement. I wish I had enough karma to downvote you.

Twitter is infamous for censorship and shadowbanning non-politically correct views. Lately they have been suppressing Bernie Sanders supporters[1] and anti-Hillary activists[2].
Twitter is a truly two-faced Orwellian enterprise that is completely in the back pocket of Big Brother.
