The GPS almanac, as part of the data transmitted by each GPS satellite, contains coarse orbit and status information for all satellites in the constellation, an ionospheric model, and information to relate GPS derived time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Hence the GPS almanac provides a similar goal as the ancient Babylonian almanac, to find celestial bodies. [32] See also [ edit ]

Lehoux D., Parapegmata, Astrology, Weather, and Calendars in the Ancient World (thesis), National Library of Canada, 2000; includes a list of surviving parapegmata (plural of 'parapegma') and bibliography. I will tell you an anecdote before going into the review. In India, IITs are the premier technical institutions with around 1% acceptance rate and .1% for the top 1000 ranks. Kids can become minor celebrities in their circles just by clearing the exam - which is no easy feat. With launch of Quora, I came across several such cringey questions related to people who got into IIT. They hadn't achieved a lot in life till then.The Greek almanac, known as parapegma, has existed in the form of an inscribed stone on which the days of the month were indicated by movable pegs inserted into bored holes, hence the name. There were also written texts and according to Diogenes Laërtius, Parapegma was the title of a book by Democritus. [13] Ptolemy, the Alexandrian astronomer (2nd century) wrote a treatise, Phaseis—"phases of fixed stars and collection of weather-changes" is the translation of its full title—the core of which is a parapegma, a list of dates of seasonally regular weather changes, first appearances and last appearances of stars or constellations at sunrise or sunset, and solar events such as solstices, all organized according to the solar year. With the astronomical computations were expected weather phenomena, composed as a digest of observations made by various authorities of the past. Parapegmata had been composed for centuries. Ptolemy believed that astronomical phenomena caused the changes in seasonal weather; his explanation of why there was not an exact correlation of these events was that the physical influences of other heavenly bodies also came into play. Hence for him, weather prediction was a special division of astrology. [14] Note: the book talks about Naval Ravikant but from someone else’s perspective on the habits, likes and book recommendations of the said personality The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations, and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single player.”

I think business networking is a complete waste of time. And I know there are people and companies popularizing this concept because it serves them and their business model well, but the reality is if you’re building something interesting, you will always have more people who will want to know you. Trying to build business relationships well in advance of doing business is a complete waste of time. I have a much more comfortable philosophy: “Be a maker who makes something interesting people want. Show your craft, practice your craft, and the right people will eventually find you.” A perfect gift for someone young, a book like this can transform the whole trajectory of someone's life in a meaningful way. The thought that such a mind exists, and we can know about it, learn from it, grow from it: absolutely brilliant. My favorite is when he removes himself from the line of criticism because "if the exceptions are obvious then either the author is dumb or you are" - gee thanks Naval. I could go on, but maybe this book just wasn't a good personal fit given my values and the way that I perceive life.

There is no meaning to life. There is no purpose to life. It’s like writing on water or building houses on sand. The reality is you have been dead for the history of the universe, 10 billion years or more. You will be dead for the next 70 billion years or so. Anything you do will fade. It will disappear, just like the human race will disappear and the planet will disappear. No one is going to remember you passed a certain number of generations, whether you are an artist, a poet, a conqueror, or anyone else. There is no meaning. I think after this life, it’s very much like before you were born. Remember that? It’s going to be just like that.��� Naval runs a short-form podcast at Nav.al and Spearhead.co, where he discusses philosophy, business, and investing.
