There's women in LA. I go on dates.

Can someone compare this with meditation?

I am curious how the "attentions" differs when one is actually ignoring impulse in meditation from the style described in deconcentration

This was obviously written by someone who doesn't understand the "React" part of React Native.

Can someone downvote this or get this garbage out of the feed. It's stupid that it is even listed. Unless it's there to be made fun of as an example of bad journalism?

I am. Anyone know details about the founders? Are these guys trying to make a statement, or out to make a buck? In which case, selling the data about its users would be a great monetization model.

WOW, that is tremendously effed.

bahahahahaha!! Do you have any stats?; number of views before the link was taken off?

Please tell me it was something stupid like a few hundred thousand views

huge grin

lol I'll take DDOS any day over DDOM!!

I want the API, now. All I can find on Google is Androids AR http://code.google.com/p/andar/ source. Any ideas about languages, frameworks, etc etc. I want to get ready now to start open sourcing.

Notch is officially my programming hero. This post inspires me; to take risks and be brave with my coding decisions while nurturing the process. Before today I would code and think over think and run into wall, while the original plan remains stagnant, always looking forwards to the finale. Now I look to code richly, daily, and to water my plants. Notch is zen. I can't wait to play this game.

This post really hurts my soul.

Can Carpathia sue the Federal Government for NOT seizing assets. It's the data, not hardware. Data is transferable. They want it, take it.

Can Carpathia sue? This kind of injustice just makes me boil.

I respect the grind and the willingness to sacrifice comfort to try your hand at this startup game. Good luck to this guy.

To all my Mac users out there: What are you using to record Skype calls? Anyone know if Audacity 2 will allow Mac users to record system audio?

I am an iOS developer and I listened to the episode with "Mr. Daisey & The Apple Factory".

It definitely struck a cord in me; two specific things.

#1 Excellence is in the culture. Unabashed, aggressive, and strident. If you didn't read the docs then why are you even talking? That kind of attitude. iOS more than any other language is a club for readers, because devs here respect the legacy of code. But since I am American and because I have my pick of whatever platform or language, I have a choice. No matter what my situation, what excuse I may make, at the end of the day I chose iOS and I adopted Apple's culture. But, if I were in a different situation, where there really isn't another job out there, and culture is not really a choice, and I was forced to perform on such a level (and Apple's culture bleeds into every facet of its organization, software, hardware, sales) it might be a waking nightmare. It is one thing to embrace the grind to stay up night after night, eating garbage, working on your next startup because it is in your blood, and being broke and poor and performing to the beat of a driven man's rhythm.

#2 I'm sure there is a significant reason why China doesn't see the release of iOS products until much later but it still just rubs me the wrong way. Having iOS products released sooner than later in your country is a privilege. Does the country that make these products not deserve that privilege?

I love This American Life, I love iOS and the objective-c language, and am an admirer of Steve Jobs and the company he created. I don't have any heated feeling about anyone in all this so let me say I have nothing but respect for all parties involved. However there is a common thread in all this between Apple, Steve, China and startup culture--the pursuit of excellence at the cost of normal human needs, and the amount of suffering/neglect man is willing to put himself through to achieve his/her goals--that widened my eyes, because it somehow reminded me of what I was doing to myself. You all know what I'm talking about. If you have ever hustled, tried your hand as a founder, embraced the grind you know; the depth of depravity we all put yourselves through to reach an ephemeral goal. It has no taste though sweet in our minds. Always driven with trained eyes unwavering stares, focused, mental, cold as some might describe us. All for what? But to perform at a high level. All else being secondary.

I look forward to the corrections episode and am working harder to embrace my fun side.

Terrifying.

The effects of local policy making/lobbying exhibits zero friction in transitioning to the global stage.

And without precedence there is no checks/balance to ratify/amend international standards.

It's been reduced simply to tit for tat; "You forfeit the rights of your citizens and I'll give you diplomatic favors?"
