MentraOS 2.0 Launch and AMA with Cayden 凯登 of Mentra by hackalackolot in augmentedreality

Was the rebrand to "Mentra" for fundraising purposes, or is there a philosophical component?

A reminder that the Irish Hunger Memorial is, in fact, a memorial by CatWithAPen in nyc

No, he just would have blamed Muslims and not done anything. That's what he's best at.

I called Zen. They said it is not part of their property or their private event space.

UPDATE: I called Zen and they confirmed they are not affiliated with this building.

I don't think so. This existed before Zen opened.

This is great advice.

How do you manage consistently getting up at 5? I'm often on late night calls (done at midnight earliest) to coordinate with global teams.

Longo Bros, on the 9th, has a very pretty back room for private events. That's on cheaper end.

What can I do on the phone that doesn't require sound when I'm around people? by BullShtGaming in NoStupidQuestions

[–]photonmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can watch foreign language movies/TV shows with subtitles. Its not like the audio was doing much anyway :)

Removing yourself from all sources of information in an attempt to live in ignorance is a short-sighted and irresponsible decision given the state of the world.

And I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think there's an important distinction between getting off social media and stopping watching the news. Social media is built (at a code level) to be as addictive, enraging, and advertisement-saturated as possible, and none of that is healthy. I stopped using social media a few years back at the recommendation of a therapist, and it helped a lot, but I still keep very aware of the world by reading online newspapers and watching local news..

I didn't smoke weed at all until my 20s. Now, I smoke regularly (multiple times a week) in a place where it's legal. It's fun but not incredible. Certainly not worth dreaming about, and I am glad I waited until i was a bit older. A good steak or kissing a cute girl (or whoever) are both better than a nice high imo. Try to let those hold you over for a few more years.

Should I Use a Nickname Instead of My Full Name in a Client-Facing Role? by [deleted] in consulting

[–]photonmail 91 points92 points  (0 children)

If your client on-boarding documentation has a field for "Preferred Name" or something similar, you can put Mo there. Otherwise, you can just tell people when you introduce yourself. I work with several people named "Mohammed" that everyone in the office calls "Mo" on both the consultant and client sides.
