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 tradition that works like that, but from a Buddhist/psychology perspective, that sounds more like dissociation..

Just believe you can believe, and you will believe.

Who likes their cable company? Come on now.

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 promise of widespread prosperity, which Tyler Cowen details very, very well in 'Average is Over'

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 topics without adulteration by these parties with personal motivations and associated power.

Depends on who programmed the AI.

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.

There is, he didn't read the introduction to the book lol

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. Public transportation options get figured in there too. I'm very fortunate to have a good job now, but it wasn't all that long ago I was scraping by on near minimum wage.

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 puts over their actual topic rankings.
