Does anyone else see the irony that this is published on Bloomberg, a company who's historic record vastly shows a disregard for work/life balance?

Maybe the Gmail team should realize we're all not children.

I'm sitting here wondering why no one ever talks about PowerShell. It supports .NET reflection, which allows direct .NET API access. It's basically c# shell.

Yes. I've just immediately not gone to a site that didn't load content because I was using an ad blocker. Your content has to be very worth it for me to disable my ad blocker.

Sell side, not buy side.

Am I the only one who can't read an article when the text is aligned on the left size of a window like that?

Thanks for pointing that out. Too bad.

To note, there is a client-side workaround that allows whitelisting of ALL unsigned extensions (they might consider creating a whitelist of UUIDs or something "humans" can handle like the name of an extension). I was able to change the following and uBlock and Ghostery immediately started working in the "Aurora" build: go to about:config ; set xpinstall.signatures.required = false

I'm surprised by the lack of philosophy writings mentioned here.

I'm averse to sociopathic and manipulative teachings such as my book-by-its-cover judgement of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and the like.

Instead, I began my journey several years ago reading through "Mindfulness in Plain English" by Guranatana. More recently I began frequenting the Farnam Street blog, being turned onto reading "The Obstacle is the Way," by Ryan Holiday, which lead me to "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, and I'll be picking up "Letters from a Stoic" as soon as I'm done with "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" by Tolstoy (having never read Tolstoy's non-fiction writing previous to "A Letter to a Hindu," which was posted to Hacker News a few weeks ago).

I would say that the most powerful book I've read is Meditations. The perspective the book holds is that you are a person, and people are pre-wired to do good for society and for other people (as entities); that this is innate in you, and you MUST use this to do good. It is a book focused on resilience in the face of circumstances, people and things that people do that aren't good.

I actually think that's the exact opposite of the original point, and it simply should be left alone to be what it is. By "customizing" the selection, it loses a large majority of the nostalgia.

Maybe... just maybe... have the default be this way, and a tiny tiny link saying "click here for the new web 2.0, users are in control, why not just search youtube yourself, upvote this, downvote that... empowering... customizable... have it your way, right away at burger king now version"

Interesting point! Worth noting that I do think that this is what lawyers _really_ do. They smudge the gray area to their will, and with enough effort, they make some sort of progress towards their client's bidding. Worth noting, even with the existence of Tomahawk and youtube... and napalm indexer, soulseek, and torrentz.eu, I still felt that it was much easier to pay for Spotify than to drill through the tendrils of the Internet. I had time when I was a poor college student/post-college "adult," but I figured semi-efficiently pirating music for 20 years (yes on a 56k modem as well), I'd rather just popcorntime it and go. Where is the popcorntime for music anyway? Does Tomahawk count at this?
