@mardehaym This reminds me of when I got my first Nokia face-changing mobile in 1999 and went ham texting. To my surprise, I got a $500 bill because each text was $0.25 and blew threw my minutes usage
What if ๐ธ is really about becoming worthy of it? Nuclear tech might be the 1st time we fused cosmic physics (Roswell 1947) w/ our own (WWll 1945). Ancient civilizations may have been gifted advanced tech, but none could activate it. We could. Maybe thatโs when the ๐ธ๐ started.
@realEstateTrent The owner of the chain is an individual named Torkian who is also a larger property owner in the city. He owns most of the buildings his stores are located in. Ultimately, he leases the stores at a discounted rate.
Ikigai (็ใ็ฒๆ) is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living.
Japanese have basically a word for any concept that in other languages require lots of words (except German, obviously).
The term compounds two Japanese words: iki [็ใ, meaning 'life; alive'] and kai (็ฒๆ, meaning '(an) effect; (a) result; (a) fruit; (a) worth; (a) use; (a) benefit].
Interestingly, Ikigai has been the subject of many interdisciplnary studies.
According to a study by Michiko Kumano, feeling ikigai usually means the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passions.
National Geographic reporter Dan Buettner suggested ikigai may be one of the reasons for the longevity of the people of Okinawa.
Studies have even shown that people who do not feel ikigai are more likely to experience cardiovascular diseases.

@lon_peralta @Get_Sorter@E_Tishbite@APompliano I use the clipping feature to save specific sections which includes the ability to add notes. Recall and accessibility are much faster than searching through a book for highlights/notes. Game changer to 80% audio nowadays.
What is both interesting and challenging about breakthroughs is that you canโt have one without some sort of breakdown. Progress only happens because certain things start calling into question our paradigms.
@JonLitt@BiIndia How? Did you read the article?
Dropbox didnโt say they were shedding any office but rather converting to team and collab space. They also said they were looking into expanding Dropbox Studios into new markets. So, seems like a net positive for office, no?
