Nitpick: the dollar symbol comes BEFORE the number. $49 and not 49$ Are there currencies that write it at the end instead?

Very cool, thank you for sharing

First of all, thank you for detailing all of that and for sharing here. And for all the work you've put in to this! And secondly I wanted to say that this > but I ended up just cre…

In my experience that's a less than frequent occurrence. I.e. I agree that there is a predominant voice here on HN (echo chamber) that lives to shut down (vote) other views

It's not a problem of amount of resources, it's how they're being used. Have you considered how much waste is produced daily, even just food waste? We all could be living luxurious…

I recently set up Syncthing on my laptops and my phone. I have always edited my notes in plain text in Vim and dumbly I would email these to myself (and reply to the email) on my p…

Or Huegelkultur

To your point, I would say that the machinery has a negligible impact compared to the benefits of permaculture, and if makes permaculture more productive without greater risk, then…

I mostly use it to save things to come back to (bookmark). It would be better if I could favorite from the main thread, rather than going to the individual comment's page to favori…

This is from "Living with Siva": > The original caste system had these four divisions. The divisions were all based on the ability of the individual to manage his body, his mind an…

No, the other reply has it right - I'm just pointing out that what we see of as the caste system is not what is originally intended. It should not be about inequality

Sorry, to which pretense?

How are you definitely sure of this while simultaneously claiming you don't know very much about the Varna system as the Vedas outline it? You're also missing my point - of course …

As a Hindu I'd like to take the opportunity to share that the implementation of the caste system is not based on what it really means to be Hindu. The Vedas state that one's caste …

Interesting... as a Hindu evolution is perfectly integrated into our religion. Some "Hindus" still don't honor and respect women, but that doesn't match the teachings at all. Mata …

I guess you haven't read the comments on Hacker News very much before

Testing on my phone at least, tape does nothing to prevent discernable audio from being recorded. I think the device would need to be encased to block the microphone

Do you have resources for religious curriculum as opposed to secular? We are Hindu but I have had good luck relating with Christian resources

Girlfriend and you have children together? You should get married :)

One Straw Revolution changed my life. It inspired me to learn permaculture first hand. It's such an enjoyable book to read
