Tax records. Even if you only narrow it to a married couple that is better than not narrowing it down.
I second that! VW Polo and two kids work - despite being able to buy about any car there is, we stuck with a Polo until last year. All our gear was bought to fit in it. It is possible to find small stuff that fits. People who say stuff for two kids does not fit in a small car have not thought about it long enough or should seriously consider what their "needs" are.

Buy smaller strollers that are easily foldable, instead of bulky ones. Buy smaller and softer bags so they can fill every gap. Buy car seats that are a bit less space taking.
The only time we were in a bit of trouble with space was when we went on a big vacation with 4 people.
But that happened only once (admittedly, we usually takes flights when going on vacation).
FOSS Android really isn't that bad, and probably the main thing stopping me from switching to iOS is that Firefox for Android has basically full extension support. uBlock Origin's UI is just slightly wonky since it's designed for the desktop browser, but it works great and stuff doesn't really seem to slio through. It's great to be kinda in control, even if it's not perfect.
>its own ideas of how configuration files should be parsed, services installed/enabled/run, and generally a huge snowflake pile of redundant functionality.

Wouldn't there have been a different possible way of tackling this issue tho? Some framework group setting a standard for config file parsing, etc and then compiling a list of component(s) that fit these definitions?
I think the more relevant equation is a=𝚫v²/(2d) which gives you the acceleration needed to realize a speed change 𝚫v over a distance d. Larger cars allow for a larger d, therefore a smaller peak acceleration in crashes.

edit: I just realized you were focusing on mass. While a higher mass is safer for you, it comes at the cost of making things less safe for everyone else. Making cars larger while keeping mass the same doesn't come with this trade-off, it reduces peak acceleration for everyone.

Celiac here too. I hold a very similar opinion about doctors. I used to have regular sinus headaches. They would prescribe nasal spray. Even after I stopped eating gluten and noticed a correlation I would bring up that gluten gives me sinus headaches and these geniuses would advise me to avoid it. Yea, thanks for the help doc.

I can not believe I had an issue for decades and no medical professional suggested an elimination diet.

It was briefly discussed about 7 days ago.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22045696

I posted there, same self-addressed question, that I cannot figure out the answer to...

It seems that intensives to cheat, and environment where 'means justify the ways' -- are overpowering.

For people who are naturally gifted, successful at young age -- why cheat?

Was this historically, always like this?

These insensitive to cheat, to gain unfair advantage, to treat life opportunities without any 'honor code' just seem to be so pervasive now, it seems.

There is a cheating scandal every other week involving most prestigious institutions, competitions, and so on.

These incentives to cheat, basically destroy from inside our commercial model, academics, judicial system, political system and probably military too.

This also creates a new type of powerful currency, and therefore the 'billionaires' in that currency have infinite power -- and that currency is 'dirt on somebody'.

Dirt on somebody who cheated before -- forever makes the cheaters into tools of injustice.

---

Public shaming is reactive, there we need something more proactive at various points. There are needs to be incentives for work verification, as an example.

I also think it is unfortunate but at least civil/commercial law in many countries is pretty much riddled with 'more expensive lawyers produce better results'. And it skews society into basically thinking 'anything goes, really. means justify the ways, and cheating something one can get away with'
Procrastination is and should have definitely more into it. Inaction brings convenience with it and inaction is the only child of procrastination. So, it's due to our inclination to convenience and doesn't say anything yet about the task at hand.

That's the reason people procrastinate on the things at one moment which they don't at others.

Government is in theory incentivized to reduce costs because it has limited funds.
The thing with healthcare is that the purchaser, if private, pays whatever (s)he can afford (how much is your health worth it to you?). Whereas if the state is the purchaser, it is (a) A monopsony, having substantial power over healthcare providers; and (b) Doesn't care as much about any individual patient, thus being able to make decisions that are rational on the aggregate level

On short: much better to be a healthcare provider in US; much better to be a patient in EU.
> It is also one of the reasons why English is taking over (and in less serious cases, borrowed from). English is fully developed for social, scientific, technical, complex, specialised and precise communication to an extent rivaled maybe by only a dozen other languages.

I don't think this would be accepted by very many linguists. Complexity and precision is a function of vocabulary, and vocabularies are easily transferred, as your own example shows.

English often proves itself deficient when it is taken over by new peoples. Especially for describing the social realities of the non-English speaking world - but of course, non-native speakers will patch up these deficiencies.

Finally, I am very sure that no linguist would agree that English is taking over the world because of this or that aspect of its vocabulary or the (supposed) simplicity its grammar. It is doing so because it is useful and has a high status due to social and political factors.
Ask HN: Is there a standalone pi-hole device?
I figure it would take me at least 3 hours to setup a pi-hole at home. I just don't have the time to do this.

I'd likely pay $50 for a pre-configured pi-hole I could just plug in my router.

I have seen subscription services for this, but I don't like signing up for another service while I am trying to reduce my online footprint.

Is there someone who's making pre-configured pihole boards and selling them online?
Not Propaganda book review – quietly frightening
Even ignoring perverse incentives, GPs are actually pretty clueless about diagnosing anything outside the 90th percentile bracket. There's a surprisingly low standard of knowledge and no system in place to enforce up-to-date knowledge like there is for e.g. pilots. Go approach 5 different GPs with the same presenting symptoms and story, and you'll get 4 different answers.

Having consulted for the healthcare sector a little bit, I am terrified of ever going into the system if I develop anything slightly unusual.

This is a sector that really needs to be overhauled with evidence based practice and heavy, heavy use of automation and ML to minimise the human element.
Tim Pychyl, who's ideas this article discusses, goes in to these ideas much more deeply in a really fantastic video here: [1]

I've watched a ton of videos on procrastination, and read a lot about it, and this video is head and shoulders above everything else. Highly recommended.

Yes, that is exactly what I am claiming. I base the claim on my knowledge of programming languages, and also on my previous experiences with php teams.

To combat this claim, please provide us with data or anecdotes instead of false accusations of hostility.

When it comes to programming languages, I am hostile towards falsehood only, not towards any individual or group of people.

How exactly would we colonize Mars anyways?

All equipment on Earth is run off fossil fuels: gasoline cars, diesel trucks, jet engines, helicopters, busses, etc. Tesla electric cars barely make a dent, and rely on electricity produced by natural gas.

Solar intensity on Mars is much weaker than on Earth. I assume this would require huge acres of land to capture as much energy from the sun via solar panels, as compared to Earth. Fortunately Mars has electric dust storms that can scrub the solar panels for us, which would reduce the need to send human labor out to clean them.

So that leaves hydrogen and nuclear. Hydrogen can be split via electrolysis, but this requires a lot of electricity. See problem #1. And it requires expensive fuel cells to convert it back into electricity, so that it can be used on demand. But we haven’t yet mastered the mass production of fuel cells here on Earth, in order to produce it cheaply enough. Fuel cells requires platinum, gold, and a bunch of other precious metals. So this would add to an already very expensive camping trip to Mars.

It’s possible wind turbines might be used, but Mars has a thin atmosphere, which already presents problem for spacecraft trying to land. But this may work for wind turbines.

Or geothermal, but his assumes the core of Mars is hot. But from all satellite reconnaissance so far, Mars doesn’t seem to have any hot springs.

Then nuclear, this is likely the most viable technology. Possibly by RTG, which seems to be the most portable, as we can build that on Earth, and launch it to Mars. You would need to launch a lot of them from Earth to ship to Mars, which further reduces the affordability, and kills the possibility of living off the land. And if uranium exists on Mars, which I’m sure it does, then you’d need a huge industrial base just to mine and process it. But first, you’d have to find it, which would require expensive human and robotic exploration outside in Martian excursion suits.

Fission based nuclear plants as we know it on Earth seems overly complex to use on Mars. It’s just a giant water boiler, used to produce steam, to spin a generator, to create electricity. And I doubt the technology as it is used on Earth, can function correctly in the cold winters of Mars. You’d have to prevent your radioactive water coolant from freezing on you. So you’d need to redesign it in order to be used safely on Mars.

Fusion reactors, well, we still haven’t invented that yet, and they keep saying that it’s only 50 years away.

So that brings us back to fossil fuels. If they’re correct in assuming that Mars used to be a tropical paradise, billions of years ago, and full of lush vegetation and flowing rivers, before it froze over, then, I’m certain that there is oil buried somewhere in the dirt. It may be frozen, but we can bring in our fracking technology to extract it. Or maybe it’s frozen in tar sands, in which case we can excavate it.

So there you have it. Mars has oil! Possibly..

Now, it’s time to go plant a flag. Every man (or nation) for himself!

The more i think about it the more I would like to see articles and documentation following the same path as project repos,

Articles and documentation need version control and with pull requests and issues you can rely on other people to notice when some stuff is out of date or inaccurate. The version control allows to see what has been changed over the years, it also prevents censoring.

Source Hut (https://sourcehut.org/) does it very well in my opinion

> Not sure I follow. In a government, the primary need is that the people feel free, feel like they're not being ordered around by a dictator, that they can have fun or do what they want or set their own rules.

There are plenty of governments who have never felt that to be a primary, secondary, or even tertiary need. 'Plenty' here refers to an overwhelming majority of governments, through an overwhelming majority of recorded history.

> Any rigid structure of governance that is focused on anything else will eventually fail.

Are you basing this on the brief, half-century window of human history where liberal democracies governed something between a quarter, and a third of the world's population?

When I look at human history, it seems to be that despotism is the norm, and liberal democracy is a quirky, novel fad, that may fizzle out, just like acid-washed jeans, and pet rocks did.
Not if the underlying model was bad, no tweaking of hyperparameters can change that. It's safe to say, he probably did consider this (and it probably didn't work well enough).

If what I wrote lead to that as your main take-away, then I apologize for expressing myself badly, because nothing could be further from the truth! I studied physics myself at one point, and base this on conversations with friends who (unlike me) didn't drop out. Specifically, those who were asked by their professor to update old libraries during their PhD thesis.
This is a side note...

There's no evidence that hypnosis is reliable, true.

But "widespread perversion against children" as we now know, is not just probable, it's reality.

28% of children according to one study. No one really knows though, since it's of course one of the most underreported crimes.

Totally agree on not trusting any one doctor. Nowadays, I basically assume doctors are narrow minded experts and do the broader thinking myself (by reading widely). It’s the old saying that when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. I wish I realized the extent to which this is true earlier.

My issue happened to be with sesamoid/metatarsal fracture, flat rootedness, and poor gait. No doctor cared about my gait which turned out to be the root cause of my other symptoms. They all wanted to do surgery/orthotics and basically thought that would fix it alone vs combined with PT.

I can't see the appeal of being forced to do anything for six weeks. Not to mention that from the descriptions of boot camp I've read, it's a dehumanizing, depersonalizing experience. Even if I did enjoy it, I would resent essentially being made a slave against my will and being forced into it. I think that's a very common human response to being forced to do something.
Jordan Peterson had a nice distinction about this: there are things you want to do and things you want to BE WANTING to do. I.e. you want to eat a cookie, but you want to be wanting to go to the gym.

In reality, it's pretty hard to consciously make yourself want something (at least for most people), as our conscious brain does not have that much of an effect on our emotions. In practice, what I've found out I (my conscious brain) can do is alter my circumstances - don't store nice food at house so that it's harder to snack, work from the office (not from home) so that it's harder to procrastinate or get so fat that I no longer feel good in my body.
I think some "industries" shouldn't work as a normal business, health, education, law / police. They just don't work as a business and will end up corrupt because money.

However beware that it's not a "set and forget" solution.

Example: This morning I did my occasional sweep of what I've blocked where, and to see if there's a new allowed domain in top N that should've been blocked. What I found is that ocsp.int-x3.letsencrypt.org.edgesuite.net is blocked by "kowabit.de - bl*cklist of death". I've added that to my whitelist now, I want certificate revocation to not be blocked.
Adoption speed is probably the only proxy that could be used. Measuring quality of pet life in suitable homes is rarely collected.

I'm not even certain of how that could be objectively measured for children, let alone pets.
I run uBlock for the sake of not getting bogged down by resource heavy ads/cryptominers and to mitigate the threat of malware, not so much tracking. I would assume most major ad companies have already vastly improved fingerprinting and will be able to track unique devices despite all conventional trackers being blocked. Add to that how more and more sites require you to be signed in to be functionally useful that ad tracker blocking is becoming less useful as time goes on.

In any case ad personalisation does work with me as I never click on any ad, personalised or not.
I'm not as much bothered by the software being non-free, rather making the ownership of either an Android or IOS smartphone a requirement for digital citizenship too solve the 2FA puzzle is something that worries me.
