Good points and I appreciate what you write here.

And an interesting business concept - to help consumers pursue individual arbitrations. That could be really cool especially against large corporations when they are abusive. What do you charge as people go through their individual arbitration process/ how does the profit model work?

I really have mixed feelings about the legal system - on

Also, Radvocate, wondering if you can address the PII concerns other's have raised, as that is a very big deal.

For me the red flag is them willing to send this letter to Chase, via snail mail at no charge to you. Nobody gives something for nothing. So I thought, why would they do this? after reading through the form, at the bottom, it looks like one of the companies, who sponsors this site, "Radvocate" seems like they are in the "class action" lawsuit business. https://myradvocate.com/

This site is about having enough potential clients are able to sue Chase at some point in the future, whenever a class action lawsuit comes up - and heck, they even will have a customer list and a relationship with you from sending this "free" letter for you in the past.

Usually in those kinds of cases, the end recipient gets very little - perhaps some subscription to a ID protection service or a few bucks but the firm who runs the class action makes a lot.

On the one hand, maybe it helps keep them honest (they cite Wells Fargo) so its good to be able to. But clearly there is some vested interest here on the part of Radvocate.

I really like the idea about the "switch" to put oneself in "learning mode".

I wonder if we can hack this by isolating what the OLMa2 cells do (which appears to be tied to anxiety) and using some kind of mindfulness technique to self impair that part of the brain, the same way we can attempt to turn off parts of our brain in meditation.

If the function of the OLMa2 cells are anxiety, my experience has been that when I am in an anxious state, I don't learn very well - could it be as simple as relax and then learn?

Wondering if anyone can add insight to this?

I'd think it could be helpful to flip this question on its head: find things that excite you, that you intrinsically find motivating. Put some energy into getting re-acquainted with that energy within you rather than trying to get excited about something you have lost interest in and learn to cultivate that energy and see where it takes you.

Cool! Thank you - it's great to get a peek inside your approach.

Wondering if you can say more about managing "energy and motivation"? I'm curious abut the details, how one does this. It sounds like a great approach!

hboon - that ability to run a script and see time spent from a text file sounds like a fantastic combo of simplicity to use and the ability to mine data. I'd love to see an example of your file format and script to see exactly how it all works together, if you are up for sharing.

A co-work of mine sent me this article after his iPhone 6S slowed down considerably after installing iOS 11. He thought that his battery was defunct and causing the issue.

I suggested he turn off the animations that are designed to run on the latest phones and are more processor intensive. (One other thing that will help, however, is to cut back on the transition animations in iOS 11. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and toggle it to off.) And like magic, his phone ran as fast as it ever did!

I did the same thing with my sluggish iPhone 5, and did a reinstall clearing all my data, and it runs really great now, as if it were brand new!

Makes me wonder how many people will think they have the battery issue when in reality they have features turned on that will inherently bog down the older phones. You'd think Apple would auto detect the model and by default have features like animation turned off. But perhaps their motivation is not to give their customers the best experience?!?

f you want to speed up your older iPhone, this article covers most of what I did for my iPhone 5 last year: http://bgr.com/2017/09/19/ios-11-features-iphone-how-to-spee...)

Totally aside from the above, I turned off the animations on my iPhone X and it seems to run slower. Not sure what that is all about.

Pharma stock prices should go down. That is a good thing. Drugs should be first a service and second a source of profit and that should always be the order of it, or we will continue to have drugs that bankrupt people till they cannot afford it.

Wish there was a mac version.

Brilliant! When I am dealing with refactoring or modifying existing code, finding my way around is the hardest, most time consuming part. This seems a huge timesaver.

Please. Another vote for this. This would seriously become my tool of choice, but I would become so dependent on it, as an extension of my working style, that I wouldn't want to invest unless I knew I could know that it wouldn't go away and that I could also hack changes into the code. Would definitely be willing to pay for the Open Source Version. I've also had ideas very similar to this, but am much more interested in having it than developing it.
