“Objects of Appreciation: Every time you go to use a utensil or instrument, take pleasure and feel gratitude for the fact that you have such an object available. If you focus on this, you'll be able to be lifted many many times each day. Some common examples include: a pen, fork, cup, key, computers, clock, chair, stapler, and eyeglasses.” IfsFeelsFactsUseAblePleasureCommonFocusExampleObjectsKeysGratitudeComputerInstrumentsAppreciationAvailableCupsClockEach DayChairsPensForksEyeglassesUtensils Author:Zelig Pliskin
“The Linux kernel is under the GPL version 2. Not anything else. Some individual files are licensable under v3, but not the kernel in general. And quite frankly, I don't see that changing. I think it's insane to require people to make their private signing keys available, for example. I wouldn't do it. So I don't think the GPL v3 conversion is going to happen for the kernel, since I personally don't want to convert any of my code. You think v2 or later is the default. It's not. The _default_ is to not allow conversion. Conversion isn't going to happen.” PeopleThinkingWantHappensIndividualExampleKeysConversationAvailableConversionVersionsInsaneCodeFilesDefaultSigningLinuxKernel Author:Linus Torvalds
“A common mistake we make is that we look for God in places where we ourselves wish to find him, yet even in the physical reality this is a complete failure.

“Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time. Nuclear fission wasn't discovered until long after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace published their original books and papers, for example. Our ability to measure atomic masses wasn't developed until long after their deaths. These features of nature enabled us to reckon the age of the Earth and compare it with speciation rates here.” YearsLongBookIdeasAgeEarthAbilityExampleKeysEvolutionPaperMassOriginalsFundamentalsRateNuclearBillionsCompareFeaturesBiologyPapersFissionNuclear FissionSpeciation Author:Bill Nye
“Twelve o'clock! It is the natural centre, key-stone, and very heart of the day.

“Part of what we're trying to do is lay out what really happened. For example, I've been trying to get across that the intelligence leadership did not just keep the country in the dark. They actively misled the country on key issues. When you have someone who heads the NSA saying we don't hold data at all on US citizens, that's one of the most misleading statements I believe that's ever been made about surveillance policy.

“Liberalism's key principle is to redistribute wealth from the haves to the have nots. That takes money from the entities with the greatest potential to improve society (for example, corporations that create jobs, invent life-saving medicines, etc.) and redistributes it to the people, whom on average, will never contribute more to society than to hold a menial job.” PeopleJobsWealthPrinciplesExampleKeysMedicineAverageSavingCorporationsLiberalismEtcEntityLife Saving Author:Marty Nemko
“When you develop software, the people who write the software, the developers are the key group but the testers also play an absolutely critical role.
