In the last few years I’ve managed to wean myself of my Hacker News addiction by only subscribing to the weekly digest email, HackerNewsLetter

It’s an excellent resource, thank-you team!

Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention

― Richard Feynman

And he plays the game of life.
But the fool lives in the world
Like a beast of burden.

― Ashtavakra Gita (4―1)

A preoccupation with the means is a lack of commitment to the end

Many more interesting tidbits, on the thread.
