people make companies and the rules. you are a person and agreed to this and acted as if you agreed. you took a bet and it didnt come out financially the way you want. you probably learned alot about startups and what works and doesnt tho.

Anyone that talks about AA like this isnt really doing what AA is... the helplessness thing also isnt true.

Powerlessness is just about "I dont have power over X" where x=other people, other circumstances, etc etc.

All you have power over is your OWN actions. And thru that you gain immense power.

The steps are just about clearing out the shitty character your developed lying and cheating your way to get high/drunk... So you can start making decisions without trying to cover up 100 other shitty decisions.

The higher power thing is just about not being so self centered and framing the world from a point of view where the addict isnt in the center of it, but a participant equal to all others.

Theres lots of crazy everywhere, and AA attracts alot of them. But people who have found true freedom outside of addictions thru the process. And many people just build new frameworks to be assholes with.

I think this article is completely stupid, and is "conceptual debt" in not understanding fully what technical debt actually is. This article describes BAD PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.

DEBT is an instrument. A good CTO/Developer will know when the codebase/product/platform is taking on technical debt. The same way you might take debt for a house, and pay back over time so you can LIVE in it. Shitty CTO's/Developers will take on tech debt without knowing it, and soon enough you're fucked. That's how people become homeless in the real world with real debt. (Well one way)

There is NEVER a time when you want to take on 'conceptual debt' AKA make crap product choices. That is just being stupid or short sighted. The only time to take on conceptual debt is if I am a development agency being paid by rich stupid people, and I want to make as much money as possible and not care about my reputation with them.

Digitalocean is a great alternative for simple things.

I use it for dev / early projects and as things get complex or need more redundancy I make the production spend on AWS.

This should be used as an example of why the NSA's capturing of 'metadata' is really a problem. It's basically the same thing and is a big deal.

Sucks that Uretsky couldn't help himself to get a sense of what the Clinton camp was thinking tho

Hmm. Love-Bomb=Ego Loss. Taking that 'to the office' is sustained ego loss.

Most people have big egos. Many people have big ego's and low self esteem or high self esteem. That is the problem, and the ego absorbs the new information.

Once off the drug, that 'paradigm' shift will be integrated into the same type of thinking they had before, except now they are 'enlightened' and act in a superior way because they have seen the light.

You seem to be a seeker, and are not self centered in the way many others are. Do not assume just because you have this experience of the world, men like Jeb Bush, Mao zedong, etc are seekers to a greater truth and will then abide by that. No, they will justify their power seeking behavior.

These chemicals will serve great purpose in practiced medicine, just as they have for tens of thousands of years in many societies. Recreational use vs self medicating might get some people there, but ritualized religious use in the context of insight, healing does work in many cases. But to bring a love bomb upon the globe? Not sure about that

they are not patenting the ui/ux - they are showing examples of what their tech (the patent) can do.
