Well, it depends on what you mean by suffering (and some say suffering isn't the right translation for what they really mean). For buddhists, pain, sadness and grief are not suffering, they are indeed an inescapable part of life and ar

Exactly. They say the Buddha was a very pragmatic man and the whole purpose of his practice was to find a way out of Samsara, the cycle of existence and suffering. I always wonder if he would have advocated for suicide if only he didn'

Am I missing something or didn't you actually intend to link to P!nk - White Rabbit (Full Studio Version) ?

Your comments show several common misconceptions/mischaracterizations about the topic. Whether someone is an addict or not is not about the addict's (or anyone's) opinion. Addiction and dependency are very well understood fro

Unless you don't like your dog, this ironically just sounds like an excuse for caring about no one but yourself.

Ok, potentially stupid question, but isn't "life" just such a "pathway"? Meaning an organism already assumes a complex system of chemical reactions, and then some other chain to produce phosphine? So is it really ha

I'm not terribly educated either, but if you don't mind a minor possible correction, I suppose GP would have meant x = 0, which is the only point where the function would be typically undefined, and the closer x gets to 0, the mor

The second paragraph of the article answers your question. Recommended extensions go through a stricter review and, if approved, are then "prominently recommended on AMO and other Mozilla channels". Mozilla has been doing this cur

You greatly overestimate how many countries check all these boxes, or the relevance they have compared to the biggest actors.

I think the person you're replying to got the joke, and responded to the implied claim that the sequels were bad.

Maybe the most obvious one - IQ? Even if you don't think it measures intelligence, it's highly predictive of success in areas such as this.

I get the no improvement part, but why make it worse by removing stable, useful features? How much maintenance does it need? What are they gaining from this?

And maybe someone could talk about native alternatives!

Could you stop with the "adult conversation" bullshit? This patronizing tone is not fit for Hacker News. Also it ironically makes you sound like a child who wants to show off how "adult-like" they are.

That's awesome! Someone should post this on HN.

It really irks me that these things are called "laws". A law is something we expect to hold true forever, by means of the hypothetico-deductive scientific method. They're phenomena. They're patterns we observe, and that&

Honestly, it's not that hard to implement something like Roam compared to the aforementioned competitors. The value is in the idea, and even that isn't novel. It really is a mystery to me why an open source alternative doesn'
