And yet you just respond with your own unsourced claims?

Tell me why deaths of despair have jumped up 100k. Answer: it's complicated. https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/2019... We could probably come up with a lot of things that have imp

Surely for such a counterintuitive idea, we can do better for evidence than a rambling blog post about a letter to a TV show host. The evidence for such a strong claim should be pretty strong, and given the state of the replication crisis i

Do you think what people long for on their deathbed should dictate their life decisions, as opposed to how they felt and viewed their life for the thousands of days that came before?

Can Android not block specific websites with parental controls? I know that’s possible in iOS, with Screen Time at least.

No, you said that I changed the “actual definition” of self-driving from Level 5 to something else. I’m asking what makes Level 5 the “actual definition” and not just an arbitrary point that you’ve personally decided means self-driving?

This feels like another place that libraries can be valuable, as curators of content.

I’m fascinated by this. Can I ask whether it’s B2B or B2C? I’m guessing with 10k paying users, your price must be on the lower end?

Who decided that only level 5 qualifies as "self-driving"?

This comment is pretty funny in the context of a world where there are currently cars driving millions of miles without human intervention in a variety of conditions. I don't think anyone cares whether it meets your personal definiti

All large insurance companies were once 240 people. Why do you think they grew to be 100x that size? Why not just keep their headcount the same and watch their margins explode as revenue goes up 10,000%?

99.999% of corporations are way too wasteful to be complaining about a tenth of a percent on 50%+ margin. Think of the savings of slashing that finance department staff :)

Oh, I did, because I assumed there surely had to be more to your critique than just this list of filenames. I only scanned a few posts, but it appears to be an old anonymous blog with disjointed musings about why the author finds mindfulnes

What? A random blog post that is nothing more than a word salad of the blogger's filenames for their notes on Kabat-Zinn's book was enough to make you conclude that he's not a real scientist and just peddling pseudoscience?

Approximately no one outside of HN only wants text emails. And the argument that anything beyond plain text is a waste and ruins everything applies to literally every single medium out there where the written word is conveyed: webpages, mag

You give an "average rating" of 4.8 with "500+ five star reviews", but Apple says 4.5 with 173 total ratings, and Android says 4.3 with 205 total ratings. Which sure makes it look like your average is not 4.8, nor have y

It’s kinda horrifying that you think shaming kids is how you teach them anything.

You think that assholes are a new phenomenon? You think that a few decades ago that lady would have meekly apologized and walked away?

They're not the same at all. Alcohol wrecks my sleep, but weed has very little negative effect.

I’d like to hear more about this, because I’m a pilot and I’ve never heard anywhere that the FAA waives their license requirements for local police? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Yes, if they were both professionals, but they aren’t, so training can absolutely overcome the differences between them. Or do you really think no one has ever beaten a less skilled fighter who weighed 35 pounds more?

Is this anything more than a slippery slope argument? Should the government have no power to regulate media entities owned by hostile foreign governments? Should Congress be allowed to take actions to stop Russia from spreading misinformati
