   Sorry, but shouldn't Vipassana be free..? I have been in few meditation camps in Europe for 10 day silent meditation courses (loved it), but I was told it was free by design..?

   Same. For hiking (geocaching) I just use OpenStreetMap and especially the german version of it (for some reason german version of Lithuania map seems more accurate...).

   Okay, fair point about the second part - my mistake indeed. But I have to push back about the first part. The throwawayaug8 did say "According to Wikipedia Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla. That's how reliable Wikipedia is"

   [citation needed] Just kidding. But I do wonder - what parts are you talking about? Like some specific languages? Or topics?

   1) 'simple' wikipedia isn't 'main' wikipedia - same as any other language wikipedias. 2) You can edit and fix mistakes if you see that as a mistake.

   It's hard to find any article that isn't behind Medium paywall... Or are we talking about some other Medium, not https://medium.com/plans ?

    Facebook and Instagram ads. Impossible to block through CSS now as the CSS classes are dynamically generated + it's even hard to pick out sponsored posts using .js too.

    "Tradition" sounds a bit funny knowing that a lot of Russian book publishing was/is published without author permission. Russian publishing isn't well known for following copyright laws :V

    On top of that - a lot of language specific content has to include sources in that same language. (As an example, it would be absurd for lithuanian wikipedia to include sources in japanese - that would be not usable AND not usefull for the

    I published a paperback book in lithuanian: "Tinginio manifestas", about positive parts of laziness. I just spammed the heck out of my blog mailing list :-) Wasn't the best promotion, but I did manage to sell out half of the

    Well, to be fair, any good public transport comes at least every 15 minutes (and great public transport comes every 5 minutes or more often), so schedules aren't a problem if the current transport system is managed good...

    Isn't 25 work hours a really low amount of work? That's just a tiny bit more than 3 work days for whole weekend camping?

    Sorry, I am a bit confused about these parts - how does it help manufacturing enterprises? (I am not saying it doesn't, I just don't understand, hah.) > pro family policies (for people); cut personal taxes (for people)

    My local caffee that I often visit with a laptop usually just plainly asks to leave if you are at the table for more than 1 hour without ordering anything :-D I have no problem with that and it doesn't seem like there is a lack of lapt

    All kinds of info/website are also censored in Russia. They censor anything that could be taken as against the Duma-Putin.

    You got me thinking... Are there any ways for a simple person to make it's own nuclear power reactor? You know, wind and solar is just "buy from internets and plug in", mostly, but what about nuclear? Would it even be legal?

    The prioritization tip reminded me of "Final Version" productivity system that I personally like. It's just one big-ass list of everything and you pick and do stuff at random (more or less). Yes, it sounds silly, but I found

    I'm not sure... 1) "while browsing the web", not "in life"; 2) This is an article about a web browser and the article isn't trying to compare browsers to real life scenarios, let alone wars...

    I, personally, like it more when I can say "no, don't track me". It's only worse for the user when the cookie notification is blocking the content, there is no "no, I don't agree" button or clicking it mea

    That's a good point! A lot of online content is created for search clicks only, not quality. For example, I often search Google in lithuanian language and I keep getting whole lot of auto-translated blog/article farms as a result.
