Is this drawing thing in court rooms specific to US? And why is drawing allowed and not taking pictures?

Because you have to draw the line somewhere.

It's kinda similar to how you can take notes, but not record.

It's standard in the UK too.

Seems like a rebranding of old ideas. We should be expecting new book soon I guess.

All this has been talked about by various western authors and scholars before(Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, Carl G. Jung etc.) and as far as I understand them, they all agree on one thing: western people are good at being individuals, having an ego, and it would be mistake to start removing this part of ourselves and think about it as something bad. Of course we should be integrating mindfullness and controlling our narcissistic behaviour, but without antagonizing our ego.

I'm reading Marcus Aurelius (AD121-180) right now. It's one of the themes he covers over & over again.

I will stick with emacs org-mode.

Me to, but I'm now tempted to implement something similar to throw TODOs into a .org file that my agenda can pick up.

The design of the site looks strange to my eyes. Colors and fonts doesn't make sense. I'm no expert on design so I can't explain why.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to try to improve the design this week.

Shoot me a quick hello if you'd like a few suggestions, my username at gmail.

If you use Sublime Text it looks pretty familiar in the context of ruby code.

I don't think that was in reference to the syntax highlighting.

It has "All the President's Men" and "A Brief History of Time", nonfiction. ... A quick scan shows that about 1/3 of the titles are either nonfiction or based on real events.

Why would anyone pay for a degree, let alone online degree, is still a mystery for me. You don't need a degree if you are really interested in computer science.

(Enough of) Education has been free since at least 2010 in my experience. Employability is not.

This article gave me idea for a new project. Yes, it's all clear in my head and I have to start working on it right now and abandon all other projects.

A site where you take responsibility for finishing your project. If you don't, you will pay heavy price. Lets say we will spam your inbox with a thousands of letters that remind you of your promises.

Does it mean our dimension is projected to a higher dimension also? Wonder how this world would look like.
