Congrats Sri and Brian! This looks very useful.

(unsolicited) Feedback: Why are there other people on my CV? Who are they to begin with? And when a recruiter is looking at my CV, I don't want them clicking on other people.

Yes, get a sense of humor HN.

The Beat it solo is one of the most unique solos out there.

I think we'll have to do this on our own and not rely on Hollywood or studios from the west. Bahubali was probably a good start. But more needs to be done. I'm starting to wonder whether it's a question of talent or question of capital. I seriously hope it's the latter.

People aren't coming here for learning (not the first priority), rather a college education is the gateway to a high paying job in the US and it's lifestyle.

Green day releases a new song: "Wake me up when 2020 ends"

Is there an app that can teach you proper vocals?

it's probably some law firm trying to see if they can get any $$$

For coding, audio production, watching Netflix.

Sorry, I added more details now. Looking for a 4k, 27inch monitor, with HDMI/USB-C connectivity.

Looking for something in sub $500 range.

Your friends are probably very garrulous. :)

Well said. Anxiety is sometimes a signal that there's an underlying imbalance in your life. Just like you start tearing up when you feel sad. Crying isn't bad in that scenario.

Anxiety works similarly. You gotta start asking yourself, why am I feeling anxious? Where could my life be out of balance?

The music sounds like the intro music from Tarkovsky's Stalker.

There's a documentary called Forest of Bliss about Varanasi. It's a non-narrative documentary (the best kind). From it's imdb page:

A look at daily life in the city of Benares (another name of Varanasi), India, one of the most religious places in the country.

It's streaming free on Prime (https://smile.amazon.com/Forest-Bliss-Robert-Gardner/dp/B01M...)

What are you talking about? There are so many legit people offering legit services there. Yes, many of them are first timers, but their site clearly lets you choose people based on reviews and ratings.

People in US are scared of the police? I am from India and have been in US for a while now and have never been scared of the cops (unlike my time in India).

Long live Camille!

The headline is a bit deceiving. I thought there is a new human species currently in existence in the Philippines.

I'm an avid film buff, Netflix DVD has so many different movies across genres and languages. I find Netflix streaming so boring and mainstream.

If you call Jordan Peterson videos or Joe Rogan clips extremist videos, then I think this is clearly a step in the wrong direction. Their videos thrive on YouTube not because they hold extreme views, it's because their videos are very engaging, fun and you learn something from it.

If this is a ploy to push more mainstream narratives through YouTube that is akin to watching CNN/CBS or ABC, then I'll be looking for other platforms.

In the same situation (not FAANG, earning a lot less), but been here almost 10 years, in the queue for close to 5 years.

One must understand that not all H1B folks are the same. Some are genuinely highly skilled and add a lot to the existing workforce. I do agree, some do not really qualify as highly skilled. Maybe the cap on the annual salary to be qualified for H1B should be higher.

Camille Paglia's Sexual Personae.

The first chapter especially blew my socks off. I never have been able to see nature and man's relation to it in the same way after that.

I did set up the 301 redirect for main page. Every existing link was also updated to HTTPS.

If you navigate directly to the http url for an article, it does NOT redirect, but if you goto http://www.mysite.com, it redirects to https://www.mysite.com

I also see that when I Google my site's content, the links in google are https://, which means Google now knows that my website is running https.

What may I be missing here?

SEO is my main issue as well. I write good content, share with the right folks, write guest posts (that got featured of 4 different big websites), yet my traffic is tanking!

It was growing steadily, but after I switched to https, it started consistently falling, every day.

Google, I try to keep my website healthy and have good content, why are you testing my patience?

Is link building still the #1 strategy to boost your page rank? OR has the game changed?

Can anyone point to a good SEO guide? (Would be willing to pay $$$)

The problem with DP/DR is that the loss of control/feeling of unrealness is not pleasant. It's the opposite. Your ego is not completely lost, it's still very much present. But it feels really threatened. You feel like you are on the edge most of the time. You feel like you might go insane or die any minute (when the intensity gets high).

After years of getting my grounding, I feel like I can manage these feelings. I don't have them that often. But it takes practice, and you have to surrender when the feelings are overwhelming.

For functioning in this world, you do need a sense of self. But it also helps when that self realizes that it is part of a whole. Without a self, I don't think you can operate in this reality, so there's no point trying to get rid of it.

Happens much more with other psychedelics. In my experience, MDMA produces the least bit of a "psychedelic hangover", other than feeling depressed.

It's one thing to contemplate whether you have free will or not. It could be a "fun" exercise. BUT to feel like you have no free will is an entirely a different beast. DP/DR sometimes makes you feel like you have no free will and that triggers a lot of panic.

It also makes you feel like your "self" could disappear at any moment. This notion of no self is prevalent in eastern mysticism. Also, folks who have imbibed certain psychedelics can also lose their sense of self. So what we feel is not entirely made up, this disorder may be pointing to something important to look at.

Here's another article if you are interested in learning more: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/12/enlighten...

Would you be willing to share more? What triggered it? And what were your symptoms like?

I first thought it was because FB thought his last name was made up.
