I had exactly the same doubt, the setup requires a see-through augmented reality display, which does not seem to be the case with Google Glass. I would love to be wrong though.
"He responded, "when there's something interesting to publish, it'll be published." He seemed to have a sort of disdain for "salami science", where scientific and mathematical papers present the thinnest possible "slice" or result possible."
There is all this talk about how he made a mistake going to Hong Kong because Hong Kong actually has a strong extradition treaty with the United States (although ultimately, mainland China can veto anything if it chooses to do so). Snowden did not make a mistake going to Hong Kong, he was exceptionally clever because most likely he knows more about NSA spying than just the domestic spying that he revealed. He probably knows details of international spying and how the U.S. manages to snoop on countries through technological means. By sitting in Hong Kong he is signaling that he could easily defect to the Chinese and reveal real damage to National Security or perhaps the U.S. will cut a deal with him to let him go home without much jail time. Also, at a time when the U.S. has been admonishing the Chinese for spying, this would be a propaganda gold mine for the Chinese as well as an intelligence windfall if he were to defect to their country. The U.S. would be seething if this were to happen but the Chinese know that the Americans are so tied up with business deals with China that they would not or could not do much to damage relations between the two countries. Snowden could have went to Iceland first but his trump card is sensitive security information that U.S. real adversaries would like to have. Iceland could not use that information.
Aaron makes a parallel between the Batman movie and his own struggles, highlighting the corruption of the system and how the Joker was actually the only "sane" person in an insane world. Sadly, he decided to pursue the same path as Heath Ledger.
I think Ed's approach is not necessarily incompatible with GTD. All he is saying is that he uses only one context is his next-actions list (@now?), which usually contains only one item. Everything else is in a someday/maybe list...
I particularly enjoy the GTDish technique of emptying one's mind and all inboxes, but I have also been trapped in too many "what-if" scenarios and in non-important tasks. Thus, I really think that Ed is making a valid point here.
BTW, filing taxes should be only a reminder in your calendar or tickler system.
"The most important piece of knowledge I took from 4HB and haven't seen anywhere else is to eat a protein rich breakfast (I do 4 fried eggs) within 30 minutes of waking up. This was very hard for me to keep up with so I have sample data from weeks where I was very consistent and weeks where I didn't even make it out of the shower in 30 minutes. For me, eating that breakfast within 30 minutes of first waking up more than doubles my weekly weight loss. I still don't fully understand why this works, but it does, at least for me. It's one of those things you read and don't believe until you actually do it to yourself and measure often."
Anyone interested on this bit should have a look at Jack Kruse's leptin reset diet (http://www.jackkruse.com/my-leptin-prescription/). His posts are incredibly difficult to read, but as a dentist and neurosurgeon who has lost tons of weight himself, he really seems to know what he is talking about.
Being a bit of a fat ass, I also used to delude myself into thinking that the "fat-lazy" relationship was a myth. But when I started carrying around my 2 year old girl (who weights ~25libs), I noticed how tired and slow I got after some minutes.
Then I realized that I carry around at least 2x that same weight around my waist all day long...
I have always been fascinated by "sous vide" cooking, but could simply not put up with the idea of eating food that has been in contact with plastics for hours in a hot environment.
Most plastics do leach some very nasty compounds, not to mention the whole estrogen controversy (which has been known by the FDA since the 30s). Besides, I am sure it is very eco-unfriendly to use them to routinely cook foods since all those plastic bags will end up somewhere in the ocean for the next hundred years...
Therefore, does anyone know of any hacks for cooking in low temps and vacuum WITHOUT the damned plastics bags?
Well, not that I don't think you have a valid point but some very smart people have done otherwise...
"When we were working on our own startup, back in the 90s, I evolved another trick for partitioning the day. I used to program from dinner till about 3 am every day, because at night no one could interrupt me. Then I'd sleep till about 11 am, and come in and work until dinner on what I called "business stuff.""
I am almost afraid to ask you this, but here it goes.
On the last few weeks/months before starting Viaweb, did you consider yourself a failure for being almost 30, well-educated but out of the formal career track, "poor" and unmarried? If so, was that the fuel behind your many amazing achievements later on?
If you think that founding a start-up is tough, wait until you have children. Raising them (properly) is the toughest and most rewarding job that one can have...
Marriage is just a way that society found to keep both parties more committed into it.
