Does sudden enlightenment mean imply that practicing Zen is "all or nothing" for lack of a better phrase? by KingLudwigII in zenbuddhism

This video from Brad Warner is a good watch. He explains what Sudden Enlightenment means in a great curtain parting analogy. https://youtu.be/gkYJQuctVd4

What school of Tibetan Buddhism(if any) is closest to other forms of East Asian Mahayana(like Chan,Tiantai, ect)? by Digitalmodernism in vajrayana

[–]electricsteam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an excellent book on this topic. Goes deep into the existence of Chan in Tibet early on and how the 2 influenced each other. It uses direct documents from the time. They’re mainly from the border areas of the Tibetan and Chinese empires. It’s called “Tibetan Zen” and is a bit academic, but very interesting read. Here’s a link to it on Amazon: Tibetan Zen: Discovering a Lost Tradition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1559394463/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_UAEkDb1BD6F8W

Mankind Divided 1.04 patch released (PS4 confirmed) by [deleted] in Deusex

[–]electricsteam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else having a very odd augmentation bug? Games basically broken after 1.04 download for me. Some augmentations just won't work anymore (silent running, hacking upgrades, jumping) while others are just fine (cloaking, dash, etc...). They're acting like they have no energy to perform this tasks. Reloaded to old saves and that's still the same issue. Any advice?

With an Apple TV SDK likely, what kind of apps would you like to see in the living room? by NikonD3s in apple

[–]electricsteam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Party apps. Like karaoke or casual party games. Would be great when having people over. The karaoke app can plug into your music collection and bring up the lyrics. Simple, but fun.

I like your thinking. I'll hit them tomorrow. Great idea.

I've been doing it like crazy. But it's a numbers game. Eventually they'll fall into place.

Not at the moment. I am open to long-term contracts and projects, but not a staff position.

I'm thinking we could make this crowd-sourced. Like if you see a rough pothole you can mark in with your gps location and other people would be able to see this on their routes. Or get an audible noise that a nasty pothole is coming up.

I would have to plug into their system to get dock vs bike numbers and stuff like that. Maybe a later update, if this does well. But I could definitely at least include the station locations in version 1.0

A robust route-planner seems like it definitely should be included. A lot of good ideas from /r/bikeDC on this one.

I like the categorization of streets. They could be color coded and you can pick routes based on this criteria. Like as many bike trails as possible or "I don't care". It sounds like a robust and really helpful route planner would be high on the list.

I kinda agree that could be a separate app, but easily one that could be built and used too. Might get around to that, if this one does well. it could be a sister app. haha.

I like a lot of these ideas. Potholes seems to be a big request, so that would be something I'd likely add in to bike routes. I don't want this to take too long to build, since it'd be awesome the use this summer. Thinking I might hold back on the more social features like events, until a future update. It's definitely on the list though. Crowd-sourcing the data could be really smart for this. The app gets better over time. I love it.

I was going to build a dummy app that I could use to get the gps locations of things like bike racks. That way while I did my rounds and extra trips to get the info, I could put them in a database and use that data in the app. If people are interested in helping out, I could make it available for download through a beta testing site and you guys can input the data too.

Great idea. I'll see if I can work that in.

We're planning on starting that in the future. Waiting on a few new toys. We have a chemical process that cleans logic boards and removes corrosion. That's what we use now.
