This is just awesome and the experience from my Phone felt like I went back in time. Any possibilities of releasing as an Android App, I would actually pay for it


Aren't we all part of some problem one way or the other. You could make the same point to a Programmer in the Banking Industry who is unaware that he is literally creating a predatory interest calculation for a debt scheme by writing code.


The difference is that the banking industry programmer is still unaware about their wrong-doings.

The article is there to raise awareness about the problems in the advertising industry, and one effect is that no one can claim they didn't know.


Our contributions are not equal-weighted. We can pivot away from what we discover doesn't express our personal values.


Yes.

We should all consider the consequences of what we work on shouldn't we?

The fact that other people don't isn't a counter argument...


Agree and somehow if the Government could abstract away all the complexities involved with Storing Bitcoin, Private Keys Management, Fees and Coversion this would be a major step forward

WaitButWhy blog gave me an amazing insight into why do we procrastinate in the most simplest form. I've felt like, I was literally reading about me


While I've spent a lot of time reading everything he's written, I never felt that any of it helped me overcome my procrastination. It was just recognition and a shallow, fleeting satisfaction in that recognition.


I don't think it helped him (Tim of WbW) either. I don't think it was even supposed to help; reading his writings, I never had the feeling he was offering a solution -- rather, he was fascinated by the phenomenon, and was doing a kind of nerdy, technical analysis of his state. One that I (and others) could resonate with.

What actually helped me was framing the issue in a somewhat buddhist manner. I purchased his Panic Monster and the Monkey, sat them on my desk, and tried to look at them (and thus at my procrastination) with kindness and acceptance.

FWIW, my procrastination hasn't gone away (here I am, on HN); but it shrunk, and it stopped being such a big problem for me.

It even has a 1GB RAM. 5. The phone has 8GB internal memory which can be expanded to 32GB with a micro SD card. 6. You even get a camera on both sides. 3.2 megapixel on the back and 0.3 megapixel the front. 7.

Eden Team,

Congratulations on the Launch!! Though I personally cannot utilize your service as I am staying far from where you guys are operating (India), I would love to see such a professional solution available in my city. Any plans of expanding to other countries like India, where the potential is huge (considering the number of Smartphone, Computer and Other electronic gadgets users). Let me know if you have any plans and I'll be happy to assist you. Good Luck!!
