I did the breathing tutorial and did the first exercise but it didn't seem to really "react" to my breathing like I was expecting based on all the promotion. It might get progressively "smarter" but I was expecting more feedback from the UI (which is really pretty btw) when I was breathing in and out.
Academia is fundamentally broken. All the incentives are messed up and I have a hard time trusting anything that has been "researched" at all. Really disappointing.
Anyone checking out this should also look at GoodRx. Full disclosure, I work at GoodRx. I think we beat them on prices for the most part but it is always good to check theirs too. They beat our prices sometimes.
I am all for picking whatever the lowest price is. That is the whole goal.
They should be shamed. It would be fine if they didn't take the vaccine and stayed home but they don't do that. They go to the hospital and take up valuable bed space that I would argue thy don't deserve.
I realistically don't know how much the intent is to persuade people to get the vaccine. As they point out, it wouldn't be a good strategy, but at this point, not much is going to change a person's mind over it anyway.
I don't think anyone is inclined to believe one way or the other. It is a gray area and with the way you described what you did, it certainly seems plausible.
You even say you were drunk and did stupid things. It is plausible that you wouldn't even remember doing it.
Agreed. With a two person team and we can do things we couldn't otherwise. Having one shared code base for web, android, and iOS is better for two people IMO.
I found there were a bunch of good nuggets of practical knowledge that I didn't know and were very good to learn. In general, the lessons are practical and aren't "fluffy", even for topics I thought might be (like generating startup ideas).
The biggest takeaways for me were:
1) Find people with a problem and have constant communication with them (while solving said problem)
2) Launch early and often. MVP can and should suck.
3) There is no "one big release". This one was super valuable to me because I always thought you basically had one shot to get traction and you failed if you didn't. Realistically, if you do rule 2, you have ample opportunity to continue changing/growing/launching.
The article is highlighting that the rat race is really just trying to be perceived as wealthy and give off a good image by purchasing more and better things.
I think the "silent majority that wakes up goes to work and just lives their lives" is not a majority. Sure, people go to work but they are trying to make money to buy more things to show what they have. They don't necessarily need it to be a Porsche. The "luxury" goods that many people like to show off are as simple as a big screen TV.
