  1. What Bruce Lee can teach us about living fully - In this TED talk, Shannon Lee - Bruce Lee's daughter, talks about things she has learned from his philosophy of life. She says that Bruce Lee pursued a deep philosophical practice that she calls, self actualization, noting that he followed the same philosophy in private and in public, as a martial artist, a teacher, or an actor. The important question she says that he focused on is, "how are you?" She goes on to note that her father didn't seek to please others, but lived a life where he tried to take constant action to bridge the gap between internal and external, to live a life of consistency. She uses a bulls-eye shaped chart to describe the path accoss the bridge saying that he would start with the "why", then move to the "how", and finally to the "what". The "why" is the value, the "how" is the expression of the value, and the "what" is the action that a person takes. Importantly, she says that the "how" is the reflection of who a person is, so it should not be fragmented. Lee's answer to "how are you?", then, meant consistently doing the best "what" that was available in the moment to express the "why".

  2. This chart shows the single biggest driver for the Dow — and it’s not Trump, or even the China trade war - Easing by the fed causes rallies, and tightening causes recessions. The article also includes a bunch of other disjointed topics, including the fact that A $500 million replica of the Titanic could set sail as soon as 2022

  3. Gamers say they're earning more money on Facebook's streaming platform than on Twitch and YouTube - The $120 billion gaming industry has launched a new entertainment paradigm where people play games on livestreams, and other people watch (and tip). This has been going on for years with Youtube and Twitch, but now Facebook has joined the mix, and gamers say they can make their entire livings on revenue streams from Facebook Gaming. For example, 23 year old Anthony Helms plays Fortnite for 10 hours a day and streams it to his 100,000 followers. He says he makes, "a comfortable living" off of the Facebook stream. Additionally, Facebook Gaming is planning to launch a dedicated app, which is currently being tested in the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico.

  4. India’s solar and wind boom is fizzling - The government of India had set a goal for renewable power generation of 175 Gigawatts by 2022, but a recent report says they're only expected to make 104 Gigawatts. The report suggests that the reason for the miss is that government entities have stopped paying providers in an effort to drive down rates, and at the same time, distribution companies have reduced their own payouts. The country's Ministry of New & Renewable Energy disputed the report

  5. STEEM Build your own pc they say... what could possibly go wrong? Zigon eSport - In this post, @dragonslayer109 tells about the experience of replacing a broken laptop with a machine that's built from parts. The post includes advice not to seek low-ball prices by purchasing parts from overseas, because (among other reasons) guaranties are difficult to enforce, it takes time to get through customs, and the components may arrive without manuals or other required paperwork. (A 10% beneficiary setting has been applied to this post for @dragonslayer101 - because wallet keys for @dragonslayer109 were lost.)

In order to help make Steem the go to place for timely information on diverse topics, I invite you to discuss any of these links in the comments and/or your own response post.
