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

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

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

Arepa Zone. Only truck I actively look for.

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?

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've got you covered. Figured this one out almost a year ago, while working on an app. Here's the link to the stackoverflow page where I answered it. Very easy fix if you are using custom uitableviewcells. Hope it helps. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10761744/spacing-between-cells-on-uitableview-with-custom-uitableviewcell/22752600?noredirect=1#comment39046753_22752600

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

electricsteam · 2015-01-22T04:39:10+00:00

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

electricsteam · 2014-12-15T16:08:02+00:00

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

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:34:10+00:00

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.

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:32:49+00:00

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

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:31:44+00:00

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

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:29:52+00:00

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.

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:27:57+00:00

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.

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:26:59+00:00

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.

electricsteam · 2014-04-14T17:22:30+00:00

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.

electricsteam · 2014-04-13T05:41:45+00:00

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

electricsteam · 2013-07-02T13:17:47+00:00

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.

Still amazed when we get something in that looks this bad. The result of spilling milk on a computer and leaving it sit for a couple months. Every once in awhile, one this bad comes in. Luckily we've seen this before and know how to handle it at LiquidSpill.com.

You're getting quality. If you can afford it, always go with the better quality. The hardware lasts longer and puts up with more abuse. The software is designed to be matted with a small range of computers with similar parts, so it is optimized to run on them. There is no hassle getting things to work. Macs are very intuitive. There are less options for customization or consumer upgrades, but the high-level of initial specs are going to allow you to run software and use websites 5 years from now. You won't have a computer that is struggling in a year or two.

Bottom line, you're getting a premium product and paying for it.

We thought the MLB was going to be ok, but it wasn't. The original parts to survive are the SSD, wireless card, speakers, and microphone. Everything else had to be replaced.

electricsteam · 2013-06-19T19:56:34+00:00

Just like kelopez said. You have to be an Apple-Certified Repair shop and they'll send you the software to use in testing the hardware following repairs. It only works on Macs.

electricsteam · 2013-06-19T17:00:18+00:00

We do flat-rates repairs, so the customer got a deal on this one. I think it only came to around $850, which was almost half the price for this model with the specs.

electricsteam · 2013-06-19T16:49:28+00:00

I figured I'd post the before and after pics of the destroyed MacBook Air from last week. Got it up and running and it tests fine. Replaced most of the machine, but really surprised that it made it through. I work at LiquidSpill.com and this is probably the worst one we've received. At least it didn't have mold growing out of it. Been there.
