> Many of these articles exaggerate the price of healthcare in the US. I'm an independent contractor and pay for my own health insurance. My wife and I together cost less that 500/month

Do you think $500 a month is cheap? That's insane - that's about a quarter of my entire income tax in the UK.

> It has problems, but sacrificing quality for nationalization is not the solution.

But both life expectancy is lower and infant mortality is higher in the US than in the UK.

What quality do you think you'd be sacrificing? I'm getting better life expectancy and infant mortality than you are, and I'm paying a lot less than you are.

Does using a Pi hole break any websites?

I'm curious if any websites use JS to check if the ad was successfully loaded.
That's some blatant misinformation. In Canada you don't wait for treatment. If you need treatment, you will be treated. Stop spreading some garbage myth.
Hmm, I've read A Man on the Moon and Failure is not an Option and I don't recall any inaccuracies in the Apollo 13 movie. According to the wikipedia there were a few but it mostly seems like simplifications, not embellishments:

And remember that the pi power supplies are actually 5.1V, not 5V - you can get way with 5V as long as your supply is a 3+A supply, so that at top draw, your supply isn't going to deliver a lower voltage while it tries to max out the amps.

(it's why my raspi's are all on 5V/3.5A supplies instead)

The claim of barbarism and violence is actually based on Adorno's very deep connection to what he continually refers to as "Auschwitz", to the point where he'll even describe the world as a post-Auschwitz world. In his lectures (published 1964) he also mentions the atom bomb. As a German Jewish emigrant to the U.S., the question of Nazi Germany had a huge effect on him and his beliefs - in particular this Hegelian notion of history moving to ever higher stages of freedom in a linear fashion. The existence of the Nazis at such a scale could not be explained as simply an aberration - the Frankfurt School was born out of this struggle to find out what went wrong and what is going wrong with both Hegel's thesis and Marx's thesis.
Groups was launched in ‘08, I think.
No, the Pi is only serving DNS and acting as an empty endpoint which ads are redirected to.
The Pi isn't the router, it's just a DNS server / lookup. No data actually flows through it.
If you have a data cap, pi holes (in my experience) are better at blocking bad usage of data in my home network. Oftentimes client side adblockers still end up downloading said ad data before the data isn't rendered or removed on the page.
> What's the bigger picture? What does the situation look like holistically?

I argue in another comment in alignment with your suspicions that the bigger picture is conditionally in support of Apple in China, and in support of Dragonfly in China. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19656849
This post must be missing a sarcasm tag... the average cost of healthcare in the USA is HUGE and far higher than most other developed countries. As for quality, you are severely underestimating the clinical care provided in countries even as "underdeveloped" as India (I quote it because I'm sure you might have that opinion of the country in question).

If you have any kind of moderate condition in the USA you are likely screwed. Of course our system protects against catastrophic incidents and helps with basic checkups but everything in between is not covered by most plans.
no, it doesn't do deep packet inspection. it just blocks DNS queries. So when your webpage says "show the java script ad at xxx.yyy" the DNS is sent to PiHole, which sees xxx.yyy as a spam domain, then instead of resolving that IP, it says "oh, you want to load spam.js from xxx.yyy? Here it is: {}". It actually makes pages run faster.
Probably not as much as you think. People often take out further loans to pay their payday loans. It becomes a self fulfilling system.
LiveJournal was, for my money, the correct balance of text to image content. You could upload photos and other media, but it was a bit of a pain. And in 2006, people didn't necessarily have the ability to play media anyways, at least not without a few false starts. Consequently, people wrote. Their thoughts weren't always that interesting. But they were at least original and the product of real effort. It worked fairly well, and was a lot more appealing to me than memes and viral marketing.
Look at the last election... results speak for themselves, that is why people are confused why this isn't the single largest issue for American people.

The wikipedia entry (and the official entity?) is closer to a US state or large county, with a size of 31,000 square miles (this would put it at ~the 40th largest state).

If you take the urban population listed there and divide by the listed urban area you get 4,250. A bit above 960.
> JSON is a poor format for humans

I have never understood this argument. I'm not saying it's the best, but I find it much much more readable than yml or xml.
Surely subtitles would be an awesome signature to use?
But XQuery (and XPath, being its subset) is pretty much just pure sequence comprehensions for the XML Data Model. It might have been unusual from a mainstream PL perspective back when it was introduced, but today, when C# has LINQ, and JS developers preach the miracles of map/filter/fold over immutable data structures, I don't think XQuery is all that exotic.
I don't see the problem. Could quibble about styling, but that is an order of magnitude nicer than the surface parking lots or 60s shitbox apartments that currently dominate Los Angeles.
for my tastes, sconfig is the opposite of human readable. IMO, JSON is good enough for the average cases of configuration files.
This is why we need practical immortality. There's just too much fun to be had.
It does. But not many. Most notably CVS.com who serve some of their JS from holed sites.

It's actually logically necessary. This is known in philosophy as the problem of the criterion. Every syllogism starts with premises, and at some point the premises have to be a fundamental given that cannot be further dissected. All of our fields of knowledge have this characteristic. They all have a set of foundational concepts.

It is also related to Godel's incompleteness theorem. There are an infinite number of truths that cannot be derived from any finite axiomatic system. These truths are "beyond rational comprehension." If we are able to access these truths then we must have some meta-rational cognitive capability. This is an aspect of what Christianity calls 'faith', i.e. belief in that which cannot be seen, yet which is not an irrational made up belief.

One obvious area this shows up in is the concept of infinity. There is no way to derive such a concept from any finite axiom. Since everything we experience in the physical world is finite, yet the concept of infinity is extremely useful in STEM, this leaves us with a dilemma. Either STEM is based on a fundamentally false concept, which is absurd, or we have access to truth beyond the finite realm.

This observation was made by Eugene Wigner in his article "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences".

Driving with autopilot every day, I bet we are 5-10 years off the full self driving panacea that Musk is selling, but I don’t care. The car is blazing fast, safer than I am on my daily commute, and I don’t feel the pang of regret from hitting a gas pump.

I don’t buy into Musk’s bluster blindly, but he does accomplish most of what he says he will... just not on the time scale he promised. Seems fine to me though, I like what he promised and honestly I don’t care if my car appreciates, the automatic braking videos sold me.

Many implementations of JSON - especially the ones that parse human input - allow trailing commas for this exact reason.
Maybe we don't have to go? The particles we refract get heavier. Eventually we'll smash a beam together and what comes out will have it's own gravity.

That black hole is 55 million light years away. Perhaps we don't need to go there to get particles to react to it. Get good enough and that old light has some gravity assist to it.

Maybe there is some data in that black hole that allows us to point a telescope on the tangent of our solar system, or galaxy and simulate pair production for very fine control of gravitational waves?

At some level, our bodies must respond to gravity. Not that they have mind, or are programmed, but they just fall into the place that's empty because of what's around us. If gravitational waves moved the end of a laser, I wonder what control of it can do to really fine nerve endings or mitosis. Perhaps that's what's missing, precision.

people haven't yet mentioned simple audio fingerprinting. You would have to have a button to press the first time you saw the ad, so you would have to listen to the ad at most once. But since most ads are 15, 30, or 1m, it would be sufficient to take the audio and fingerprint it, like they do with shazam for songs. I dont think that's very CPU intensive, but it does require the manual tagging step.
Well, if prices don't drop, those 100k people will be paying something like a billion a year in rent (and/or condo mortgages,) making it probably one of the most high-return investments possible. There's not really a downside.

Well, I watch Twitch using a personal fork of https://github.com/SebastianRask/Pocket-Plays-for-Twitch (which isn't really actively maintained), so when Twitch ads became in-stream this year, I replaced the default Android media player it uses with Google's ExoPlayer, and then made a bunch of changes to ExoPlayer to be able to detect when SCTE35 segments would be played, and silenced them.

I modeled my change on similar changes made by Streamlink's Twitch plugin recently: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/pull/2372
Recently "live comments" were introduced and I cannot read a simple body of text without it constantly being bumped around because of loaded comments from timeline entries above.
This article reminds me of a complaint I've had about online gaming. I'm 36 and I remember when all online FPS games were played on centralized servers. If you logged on at the same time of day, you would see the same players you saw yesterday. Over time, you would develop relationships with those people and perhaps you would eventually meet them in real life. I have 2-3 very good real-life friends that I originally met online because of centralized FPS servers.

Nowadays, you can jump on an online FPS whenever you want and have a full server of players. But the chances you'll play someone from yesterday are very slim unless you deliberately 'friend' them. I feel sorry for kids growing up right now that are missing out on finding your own 'people' online.

I've never used it myself (so all this is theoretical), but it appears that the only traffic you route through it is DNS.

So all your bulk data transfer (HTTP, etc.) would go at the normal speeds.

DNS itself doesn't involve a lot of work for the server to do. It's a pretty simple protocol / system that doesn't require powerful hardware. So assuming their blacklisting implementation doesn't bog things down, it should be able to serve DNS requests at the normal speeds. In some cases, it could actually speed up DNS because you'd have a local caching server which you might not otherwise have.
People get stuck working for corporations because it’s the only economical way to get healthcare, even if they could otherwise pull off entrepreneurship/freelancing/retirement. Others get stuck as subservient to parents or spouses who control their access to healthcare.

Basically, the recruiter promised I'd being doing work in my destined field (was studying electrical engineering) during summers off from school. When I was on campus for a scholarship interview, the officer there in charge of the ROTC program chuckled and told me straight faced something along the lines of "no, you'll be swabbing decks until you graduate."

So, I opted to go the self paid route. Figured after that I couldn't trust anything.

After scholarships and a little financial help from my parents, I graduated in 2003 with about 15k in loans on a 120k priced 4-year education with a dual BSEE and BSCPE.
And I think most people just don't realise. My grandmother was setting up a new Kindle Fire tablet recently, and asked me "Do I want to set up Alexa?". I just said "Do you want Amazon having a recording of everything you say to it?", and she replied, "Oh, no I don't then", but I doubt it had even crossed her mind before.
I just paid $1436 because we took our 1 year old son in when he had a stomach bug and they decided they needed to keep him for 24 hours for observation after giving him an IV to re-hydrate him. Glad he's okay, but if I knew we would be out $1500, I don't know that we would have taken him in.

> It is also related to Godel's incompleteness theorem. There are an infinite number of truths that cannot be derived from any finite axiomatic system. These truths are "beyond rational comprehension."

This isn't what it means. It simply means that all axiom systems of a certain form have that limit, not that human knowledge itself does.

> One obvious area this shows up in is the concept of infinity. There is no way to derive such a concept from any finite axiom.

Obviously false, given even Peano arithmetic.

> Every syllogism starts with premises, and at some point the premises have to be a fundamental given that cannot be further dissected. All of our fields of knowledge have this characteristic. They all have a set of foundational concepts.

Except we can interrogate reality and build from there. We're not reasoning in a vacuum.

Three Rules for Developers
Ever since I was young, I am now an older man, I have experienced repeat detrimental and common behavioral patterns among programmers and at tech companies in general. Here I would like to outline my observations, in the form of three simple points, in hopes that it might help some developers and tech companies improve their work evironment:

1) You don't need to validate yourself by diminishing others. If you are criticizing operational code then you are doing this. If you are gossiping about others then you are doing this.

2) Clinging to a particular style of coding, a particular methodology, or worse a particular technology/tool doesn't make you a good programmer. The value of what you create is what makes you a good programmer. Keep your mind on getting work done. At the end of the day take pride in what you have done.

3) When doing performance evaluations of developers remember that the nature of our work makes it very hard to do fair evaluations. If you are not consciously trying your best to judge fairly then you are probably not judging fairly at all. This goes for judging peers and subordinates alike.

I'd like to believe that if these things are taken to heart then development environments can be fun again. For the past 15 years I've noticed that development environments have gone from fun and creative environments to competitive and toxic environments full of bias and different forms of pride, chauvinism, and prejudice. I hope we get back to our fun-loving, collaborative roots.
Basic S-expressions also don't distinguish between lists and maps, which is something that turns out to be very convenient in practice. Sure, a map is just a list of pairs - but the deserializer needs to be aware of its meaning to parse it into the appropriate data structure. So you either need a schema even for the most trivial cases, or you need a distinct syntax.

EDN is a better Lisp-flavored candidate, IMO.
Actually, in that case the centrality or Monopoly of the Apple store and the Google play store makes regulation easier. Censure Apple or Google for the apps sold in their marketplaces that violate the law and they will be taken down.
Another hit piece by NYTimes against Facebook. Personally, sharing good news across Facebook/Instagram and receiving acknowledgements has been a very satisfying experience for me.

More than that, as a consumer of Facebook, I also really appreciate when my friends post their achievements/milestones as it lets me stay up to date with what is going on in their lives.

Facebook allows you to scale the sharing of your happiness. And it allows you to keep updates on what is going on with the lives of others. You can still share the special joy in person with your close friends and family while using Facebook - it doesn't have to be an either/or condition.
The nuance that differentiates my example is I’m not picking some random web page (where html might actually make sense to use) and trying to apply json to a domain it most certainly is not optimized for. I’m taking an extremely common case and showing why xml is way too verbose for very simple scenarios.

My main point is in xml the closing tags are unnecessary, and you need an opening tag for every value where it’s obvious from nested context what that value is supposed to be. Xml is very redundant, there’s just all this zero entropy text everywhere which conveys no information. I disagree with your metadata in json example, why not just add more data to the value? The data model of msbuild is also annoying, but I’ve worked with some dotnet core projects now and using json as the project format definitely saves typing and actually allows you to intuit what a project is doing rather than just bombarding you with useless text.
I think the French soccer team case is an interesting example because the team itself, and its players who are of African heritage, didn't want to consider themselves African. Which is understandable given the long tradition of a civic, race-blind national identity in France.

So there is clearly a conflict there that is less benign than appears. African people from the African continent might believe in a sort of global 'Africanness', while others clearly don't share that attitude. (And I don't just mind on a individual level, but also a cultural one).

This could be seen when Noah on the Daily Show ridiculed the whole discussion by declaring it innocent or backward, which ended with a quite heated exchange with the French ambassador.

The Ubuntu mentality is not unlike the American mentality which often mixes ethnic origin with nationality, but in many other countries this is not so, and an explicit race-blindness is seen as a big achievement.That the French soccer team did not really get a say of their own in this affair and was simply declared to be African by mostly American commentators seemingly, is somewhat problematic.
Currently the top comment:

"Basically there were a lot of approx 35 story similar tower blocks and most people used public transport/taxis rather than having cars."

My understanding is that traffic does increase until a certain threshold of density is achieved and then it craters from there. Cities should probably be designed just above that.
In Taiwan, that translates to giant flying cockroaches. And the giant wolf spiders that eat them.
Sure, I should be clear I was thinking about OSX and laptops/desktops, rather than mobile devices.

Facebook isn't stealing anything. This is an excuse for one's own weaknesses, just like most things in life. It is perfectly possible to share things with family and friends without using Facebook. If Facebook is sucking out the joy from your life, stop using Facebook.

There are millions of people on the planet who find FB useful though. I personally don't, so I don't use it. If you hate Facebook so much, stop using it. Similarly, if you don't like drugs, don't take them. I should still have the right to shoot fentanyl up my eyeballs if that is a choice I as an individual want to make.

I agree with this perspective. Personally, I've had to get off of Facebook. However, it is like any other technology. It can be used for good or for ill. Everything has its growing pains, and Facebooks' have been relatively benign compared to some other technologies we've invented.

JSON has no querying system, it can only be accessed by deserializing to an in-memory object or using whatever custom APIs are available (like postgres json functions).

JsonPath is the proposed standard, and it looks pretty much like XPath. And that's before getting into Json Schema.
