That's why I said ''It looks like'' not ''It is''. When you have Ublock this really looks unnecessary.

Yes, this addon looks like repackaging and selling someone others open source work. I'm really not sorry for that author.

There is nothing from evolutionary point of view more important than having children. It would be highly unusual if nature didn't make that experience overall speaking as one of best things in life.

Yes, in Catholicism there are Jesuit spiritual exercises tailored both for priests and shorter for ordinary people, similar in orthodoxy. I think protestants lack that element and that's why meditation is so catchy in America.

Slavery in Utah lasted 10 years and included very small number of Afroamerican and Native American people so certainly economic success of Utah is in no significant way connected to slavery.

Re:Guy Who Reverse-Engineered TikTok Reveals the Scary Things He Learned

But just to play devils advocate: It is highly likely that China have spies in Google and Facebook and probably USA have spies in Tik Tok and other big Chinese companies so both China and USA no matter what sw you use already know everything about you.
My best argument would be: We can't allow that authoritarian country become tech superior because that will make China economically stronger than USA and than politically which will result in destruction of democracies around world.

''Military members are not obligated to follow illegal orders''. Ok, but this is not clear situation. Violence exists, therefore it needs to be stopped. Police station is burned down. Once police is not able to stop violence using military is only option.

''But it's a lot less violent than ordering the military to shoot people.''
You know, he is president, that gives him right to use or threaten with violence if he thinks that safety of country is seriously in danger. If you think that he is breaking constitution there is court to decide about that.

I'm glad that Tolstoy found it's place on hacker news. His Christian anarhisam and nonviolence doctrine influence basically all civil right heroes in 20 century. But it is funny how Georgisam is selected. Just wonder could it be related with high property price in bay area.

Firefox Preview is great but I don't understand why it doesn't have night mode and neither one of Firefoxes. Today night mode is standard for almost all of the applications and that's the only reason why I simply can not switch to Firefox completely. Btw, don't say that addons are good for since they only switch text in dark not UI. Even Chrome now allows UI to change to dark not just text.

Common particles (those with which we evolved) are easily identifiable so no it's not them. But like I said it clearly shows it's not purer or higher quality than tap water and is sold like that with enormous price compared to tap water. It's called scam.

on Friday September 27, 2019 @04:27PM (#21095960)
For practical purpose does it matter? It detects non-water particles(pollution) in twice higher ratio than in tap water and plastic bottled water is sold as way purer than tap water with 1000 time higher price. Basically it's scam.

No man is island. So even if you are just harming yourself by drinking or taking drugs you are also ruining your family and indirectly society by making that behavior more socially acceptable. So there shouldn't be absolute freedom in anything.
Mind the Hype: A Critical Evaluation on Mindfulness and Meditation
Re:Psychological Effects of a 1-Month Meditation Retreat
on Monday September 23, 2019 @01:54AM (#21046282)
”There is a common misperception in public and government domains that compelling clinical evidence exists for the broad and strong efficacy of mindfulness as a therapeutic intervention,” a group of 15 scholars wrote in a recent article entitled Mind the Hype. The reality is that mindfulness-based therapies have shown “a mixture of only moderate, low or no efficacy, depending on the disorder being treated,” the scholars wrote, citing a 2014 meta-analysis commissioned by the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

First of all I have to say that i despise calling something scientific work that is clearly way more subjective than mesaurable like science. For example question: does this engine spend less fuel than one before is clear way to show was that invention good or not, do you have better wellbeing after some treatment is completely open for placebo effect and can't be in same category. IMO meditation 'science' if it ever wants to be true science should concentrate on mesaurable mental qualities like IQ and memory. So true science question should be: how large is your IQ score before and after meditation retreat or how much you can remember things in 2 min before and after. Everything other is not science and is higly debatable. Honestly I'm quite suprised that engineers spend so much time on so unproved technique to increase quality of their work and life.
