While medications can help, they are short term solutions. Psychotherapy is a longer term solution and can help resolve the issue in a few years time.
Your problem sounds mostly psychological. You may have a case of anxiety disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anxiety_disorder). See a professional counselor if this is bothering you to the point that it is robbing…
Facebook is not accessible in China now -- at least not in its full form as we know it. Facebook will have to morph significantly to enter China (filtering, cooperating with authorities, cultural barriers, etc.). It…
Agreed. You have a 30-35 year career: so put this in that perspective. 2 years is not that much of a deal in the longer run. Are you not having fun with your startup? If you are having fun learning, coding, and meeting…
Exactly. A lot of startup activity is centered around the internet. Limiting internet usage that will mean that people won't be able to use our web services just because their monthly bandwidth quota is up. This is a…
Fully agree. I wonder if the McDonald's Vs. the local restaurant model applies here. To me it seems like quite a few local restaurateurs are wealthy and they don't have to scale massively to become millionaires. If you…
I think people are underestimating how much of a barrier usability is w.r.t. making video calls. The reason people like voice calls is because it gets the job done quickly. I am not sure how Apple has implemented video…
No. I am commenting on point #2 of that article: > My success — and that of my people — depends largely on being the master of obvious and mundane things, not on magical, obscure, or breakthrough ideas or methods.…
Kudos on sticking to the fundamentals. I especially love the login screen. Plain and simple. No eye distracting BS anywhere.
This list is so not relevant for a tech-intensive company. Tech-intensive work requires a manager to recruit and handle people who are smarter than him/her. Not the other way around. > My success depends largely…
This is definitely an option that should be considered. I had a similar situation: I was moonlighting on a very promising startup for 2 years. My partners were supposed to do the fundraising, biz/development, or pitch…
You seem to be in the right track about the mind/body connection. Daniel Siegel has this to say about Intuition (see the "The Mindful Brain"): Intuition seems to involve the registration of the input from the…
That took me on a discovery path of the philosophical approach to mindfulness. There seems to be a whole body of literature analyzing this from various angles. In particular, Varela seems to very influential. He is also…
I've been searching for a physical/scientific basis of mindfulness. This sounds like a great read. Thanks for sharing.
Very well put
It is one thing to have the right to free speech and another thing to exercise it. Most people show restraint all the time (don't criticize excessively, highlight the positives in your kid, tell your wife/GF that she is…
The API seems pretty simplistic. Does it choose the different supervised learning algorithm underneath without input from the user or does it just use one supervised learning algorithm? Their website does not give any…
I am in a similar situation. I listen to books on my iPod when I commute. I catch some online reading sometimes at work. I meditate and get some exercise 3 times a week. And I hang out with sharp people. But I guess…
