botton

It seems to believe that those who know best should be in charge (De Botton himself?) structuring life for others around them.

You know you can probably disable that by clicking the link at the botton of the email and then clicking a radio button.

Here's Alain de Botton in a 24m video on Epicurus and Happiness.

Alain De Botton gives a very eloquent TED talk about this [1], which is much more interesting than this Black Swan pep talk bullshit.

Alain de Botton writes more generally about taking the goods bits from religion in 'Religion for Atheists: A non-believer's guide to the uses of religion'.

It's an interesting thought experiment, and de Botton writes engagingly.

Alain de botton has pondered about this as well.

I love Alain de Botton and what he's trying to do by inspiring a type of secular Renaissance in traditions, religious activities and culture.

With two pivots, you can start the partitioning at either end and have a well defined location for each of the three partitions (at the top, at the botton, and inbetween).

I would add the Get invite textfield on the middle of the botton part, and use the upper part to show a bit of a more graphic explanation of your page purpose.

I once picked up de Botton's "How Proust can change your Life" in an airport impulse purchase; found it disappointing.

The "founder" of this is Alain de Botton.

I think he got the same question that i, we want to test the database and begin to do fun stuff with that but we dont want to call or write email (not that i a problem with that), is just curiosity if going to have a botton "sing in" or "try"?

This could be done like so: // css a.upvote-botton:visited { visibility: hidden }; <!-- in html --> <a href="{article_link}" onclick="perform_upvote()" class="upvote-button">upvote triangle</a> The href & onclick handlers would need to be added in javascript so as not to affect hn for non-js users.

For anyone who has read Alain de Botton: Could you recommend some of his books?

The big problem I see is that planning does in a lot of ways remove the essence of travelling (see The Art Of Travel by Alain De Botton).

(1) Last night I went to a meetup to discuss a certain topic related to religion, atheism, and a certain idea explained by Alain de Botton.
