Relevant (and quite enjoyable) read: The Three Body Problem (novel) https://www.amazon.com/Three-Body-Problem-Cixin-Liu/dp/07653...

I was on mobile so didn't get to scroll to the bottom of it. Thanks!

Emiratis ?

I only read on a kindle, so obviously the marginalia system is out of question. Here’s what I do: I highlight the passage, write a note where I summarize it with my own words. That’s all. But I also have a (physical) notebook where I write using the Feynman technique. On top of it all, I read at least 1 hour a day where I’m fully focused (or at least at 80% capacity) and you know what ? Good shit sticks: I trust my brain to capture what it deems valuable. If I forget something I don’t sweat it, it’s more likely that I don’t need it.

Care to elaborate more on that ?

+1

Maybe it's due to Apple's (Steve) history with Pixar ?

Yeah, I know ! Thing is, I think Justin is ahead of his time (he did it with Justin.tv and Whale).

I'm a "millennial", so I think I speak millennial pretty well. Twitch is a very niche product: THE go-to place for the gaming community, it's also trying to break into mainstream live-streaming but that's Instagram's territory.

Could you suggest some ?

> The way I see it, goals are the actual thing while objectives are diffuse imaginations of something, or the zoomed out perspective. To get a clear picture of something, you have to zoom in from the diffuse one first. You define your goals after zooming in, because then it's clear what's reachable.

This is exactly what I meant !

The example I gave wasn’t a good one. I suggest something else: think of goals as a “module”, it has a function that servers the main objective.

This idea of modules is also found in Dr Duckworth’s book: Grit.

I’ve thought (and experimented) about this for a while and here’s what I came up with:

* Goals are better for the short-term (we’re talking days and weeks).

* Systems (naturally) are better for the long-term (months and years).

* The best way to system-ize something is to make it a habit.

* A system without an objective is useless and inefficient.

* Which to use ? It depends on your personality AND the task at hand.

* Defining an objective is paramount.

* Objective =/= goal. An objective is of the highest order, a goal is a part of an objective. E.g. Objective: Lose fat, goal: stop consuming sugar.

I couldn’t download anything except for the last image (Safari, iOS 11.3) — it appears as “unknown” when I click the download button.

> Because to do something consistently over a long period of time requires letting go of opportunities that most ambitious people cannot resist.

Oh! I get it now, thanks. Also, this reminds me of a FS article I read: https://www.fs.blog/2018/03/speed-velocity/

Note: FS is an excellent blog!

Why ?

How so ?

I heard lots of good things about Deep nutrition (a book).

> I’m all about security and privacy, but everything is on balance with practically. If a three digit govt agency wants to find you, they have so many other ways than Apple.

Can't argue with that.

I am no connaisseur, just a guy who cares about privacy (in general and his in particular) who also happens to own an iPhone and wants to buy a Mac.

This seems pretty troubling, as I as well as many I suppose, trust Apple and think that they're one of the good guys. I know it's cliché but I think this is the part where "[..] live long enough to see yourself become the villain." applies.

The more important question, imho, then is: what can we do about it ? If nothing, what should be done ?

I don't know why you were downvoted. I am of the same opinion for when it comes to humans, action speaks louder than words.

Nope, he's being sarcastic.

Actually, they did drop it.

Personally I have chose Semantic UI as my go-to css framework over bootstrap. While bootstrap performs better on mobile, SUI is way nicer/cleaner it therefore eliminates the need to customize anything which I think is one of the reasons that someone would use a css framework in the first place.

I've got a question for you guys! What do you think of Gary Vaynerchuck ?

WordPress. It's like the iPhone of the blogging software.

I'm saving this for later, however, have you[JermeyMorgan] personally listened/followed those podcasts ? If so, what did you think of them ?

I'm favoriting the post just for this comment. Thank you kind sir.

I like the new Microsoft. It feels like as if Apple and Microsoft have reversed their roles.
