What I've learned from a sample size of one, myself, is that I think "I'm hungry" in two cases. First, is when I'm actually hungry. For example, when I don't eat for a day while doing stuff. Then, the more common one, is when I just "feel like eating", two hours after a nice meal.

Intermittent fasting and portion control helped me differentiate the two, as well as, as you point out, see the effects the different kinds of food have on my feeling hungry two hours later.

What I find is that it's usually the second kind of "hunger" which has the worst effect on my concentration. It's when I know I have this or that snack lying around, and I keep thinking about having some, and the only way to calm that thought is to go and eat.

The first kind has a much different effect, I just feel like I have no strength, and it makes me think of eating "actual" food.

> So I don't think it's as simple as telling people to only eat when they are hungry.

I think you're right, but I also think that it's possible to teach people to listen to their bodies and learn the effects different foods have on the feeling of hunger.

The issue is that some foods, especially in restaurants, are "foods that make you hungry" disguised as "healthy meals". Think salads or just a piece of meat with vegetables, but drenched in some sugary-fatty sauce.

Had a very similar experience in San Jose, CA. I've never had a cavity and one dentist made a rush look at my teeth, provided no evidence of a cavity and told me to book time for a filling. I never went back. Five years later I've seen other dentists every 6 months and none of them have suggested I have a cavity.
Also 60% of dentists failed to display prices according regulation.

Median price of overtreatment was 450 USD.

Dentists have a trick where they show your old fillings on the intra-oral camera and say the “yellowing” means it’s gone bad and recommend refilling it.

If your dentist pulls this trick, leave immediately.

I'm pretty sure the way NHS dental care works in the UK is basically broken and I'm not sure I trust any dental practice which relies solely on NHS income. Let me tell you why:

This can be a bit fuzzy and I may make a mistake here or there but I think the gist is still very correct. A few years ago I used to work for a company which wrote dental practice management software, so I got a good idea of how NHS dentistry works. The way you get paid doing NHS dental care is you sign a contract with the dental board on which you tell them the estimated number of Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) which you expect to carry out during the year. You get penalized upon contract renewal if you miss this target by too much. All work done on an NHS patient is broken up into Courses of Treatment (COTs) and each COT has a band given to it. The band is based on the treatments which were performed as part of a COT[1], most importantly, if you perform two fillings instead of one, the band does not go up. Each band gives a different number of UDAs[2]. You can't start a COT too early after a previous one (2 month rule)[3] unless it's a higher band.

Due to these factors, two things appear to happen:

1. Very obvious, NHS dental practices will refuse new patients even if they have the capacity to accept them because they expect they will already match their UDA count for the year. I don't think any of them will explicitly tell you this reason but it happens all the time in the UK, the key word is they will tell you to call around April (which is when contract renewals happen).

2. Less than trustworthy dentists will, upon spotting e.g. a cavity starting to develop and a bigger cavity in another place, fill the bigger cavity and then address the smaller one at your 6 months checkup to avoid stacking the COTs and losing out on additional band 2 UDAs.

Very much not saying that all nationalised dental health care is shit, but in the UK I have generally had better experience with dental practices which do mixed care than dental practices which solely focus on NHS dental care. Don't be like the UK.

My current (private) dentist in Moscow has a way to assuade concerns like this which I find quite interesting. From the first visit on, you have a personal profile that you can open in an app and their website which contains a detailed (not dumbed down) log of everything they did, as well as high-resolution photos, videos and x-rays of the procedures. They're happy to do diagnosis and have you get a second opinion with the raw data they collected before doing anything.

I showed this to my mum who lives in a different country and has been having lots of trouble with dental surgery lately, and she was very surprised by it. I also haven't seen anything like this anywhere else before.

Another fun part was that while doing something they have a screen on the wall that shows the feed of the instrument-mounted tiny cameras, this lets the assistant see the view that the doctor has. They also have a ceiling-mounted screen you can see which was just showing random Youtube videos or TV or something, so I asked them if they can put the camera feed on the ceiling-mounted screen and the doctor immediately said "You work in IT, right? Only tech people ask for that."
I share his sentiments.

We keep layering more and more gloop on the web. It will always be a game of wack-a-mole.

It's like Windows requires TPM, but then gives itself permission to snoop at your files. Or we have oauth, but then github is cracked to reveal the private keys. And so on and so forth, etc. ad nauseam. The clowns at Microsoft, Facebook and Google simply can't be trusted. They've proven that time and time again.

The trends driving humanitarian crises in 2023 (and what to do about them)
Firstly I'd say that although there are 180 dental practices, there is only one patient, I think a study would need a lot
more than that.
I cannot read the article but at how many practices did this person have x-rays taken? I doubt it was many if any. How did they get out of that, by bringing their own x-rays with them and saying that they were a recent set from their last dentist who'd retired?
If they didn't have x-rays taken and didn't bring any with them then the dentist would be diagnosing blind to a large extent.
In any case diagnosing cavities is not a binary true/false affair and x-rays can mislead also.
There is a lot of human judgement involved.
Some cavities never need filling, others can increase massively in size over a short period.
Two questions that a dentist will typically ask a new patient are, how long since your last attendence at dentist and are you a regular attender or do you just go when you have problems?
If a new patient is a regular attender, a dentist will be happier to keep a cavity they are unsure of, under
observation. Sometimes they may schedule shorter recall periods for review until such time as they are comfortable that the patient does not have active decay.
Generally a cavity does not need to be filled unless it extends into dentine.
Determing if this is the case is not always straightforward.
Generally a filling does not need to be replaced unless it is leaky.
Again this is not always easy to determine and like programmers, dentists tend to be more critical of other dentists'
output than their own.
Recent experience also colours judgement.
If a dentist has had a run of cavities that turned out to be deeper than expected then they are more likely to diagnose a cavity when unsure and vice versa.
Different sub-populations in the aggregate, depending on wealth, diet, dental hygiene and typical frequency of attendence have different dental decay characteristics which can colour a dentist's judgement.
There are crooked and incompetent dentists just like there are in every job. Dentists in general get a bad rap. One reason I've heard is the fear of dental treatment breeds an instinctive, subconscious dislike and mistrust of dentists as persons. Certainly doctors, despite being equally good at extracting money from their patients don't suffer from the same degree of antipathy and suspicion.

>I think the source of the conflict here is that, no, this does not follow. The position I described is distinctly progressive in nature, on the opposite end of the spectrum from a belief that one might characterize as conservative. That does not imply that everybody who identifies as progressive believes it.

No. The source of the "conflict," as you describe (I call it a spirited conversation, but whatever blows your skirt up) is that you made an unsupported assertion (that the "progressive" position is that people with bad childhoods shouldn't be prosecuted for crimes they go on to commit), and I asked for specific information as to who, exactly, claims that to be not only their position, but that of progressives in general.

You danced around that very specific request and then somewhat backed off your (ridiculous) assertion.

And no, you didn't say "it's a progressive position," you said[0]:

There’s something very odd to me about the modern
progressive position that, more or less, if you can
explain a crime, then you can in some sense excuse
it.

Not "a progressive postion," which is debatable at best, you called it "the progressive position" implying that was the belief of most who call themselves "progressive."

That's simply not true. Nor has it ever been.

And I called you out on your wholly unsupported, unsubstantiated and flat wrong assertion.

You are seemingly trying to walk back your statement and chalk it up to "conflict."

No. I'm not in conflict with you at all. You may think you're in conflict with me, but I'm just here trying to have good faith discussions.

You might try it some time.

That I am sure is not case in Berlin and Germany.

As I understood they do not go for a c-section until shit hits the fan or the mother has a precondition which required a planned c-section.

Unlike dentists we had a good experience with gyn and the delivery hospital. We had a pretty complicated delivery, which required suction of baby, I remember thinking at this point they would take her to surgery. But nope the head nurse got the suction thingy and did her magic as I watched through.

This was totally different from India where C-section is the very very common, We had couple of babies at the same time in family and all those in India had c-section, It's not random.

One thing I did not like was there were very limited beds in delivery section, which means the hospital did not admit till there is 4 inch dilation.
In the US, there were several recent scandals of dentists purposefully cracking molars to get business.
That's my story with the dish washer: I find it is a lot easier just wash dish as soon as it is used, it does not take more than a few seconds for a plate, and my dishwasher are only used as a place to dry plates.

I may just try and implement and see what it looks like.
Pagination and the problem of the total result count
> It’s just another tragedy of the commons.

Yep. The tragedy may be deepening with time. Objectively, the "commons" was never as integrated as in the current digital age. Collective phenomena (reaching the point of mass hysteria) feel like getting worse. There is already a large number of individuals that are experts at inciting viral propagation.

Its not clear how we could institute counterbalances and circuit breakers that would restore some sanity. Traditionally this was the role of academics and journalists but both have been compromised.
This is common practice also in China, it's just more convenient with scheduling and women are being brainwashed about delivery being some crazy painful thing Asians can't handle. I was surprised they didn't try to push my wife into C-section, maybe it played a role it was rather small provincial hospital where her family knew doctors instead of Beijing factory lines, which we visited only in beginning of pregnancy and you really felt like in factory over there with each door performing only small part of examination (while all of this was performed by one doctor in one practice in Europe with 2nd pregnancy).

Some humans creates novel things. You might not be able to think that way, but other humans can.

For example, humans started making computer games, but there were no computer games before, and now we have all these genres and stuff. Humans are capable of doing creative novel works from nothing. So you personally might be an uncreative automaton who just copies what others said or did, but that isn't normal, other humans can think in novel ways.
If anyone is wondering why poor people were targeted more, I'd hazard an educated guess on some of the "complex" factors:

1. The poor are less likely to seek a second opinion.

2. And, less likely to be able to sue. The near complete lack of accountability might even be the main reason.

3. Some people associate how much money you make with how 'worthy' a person you are. There are likely quite a few dentists who quietly 'justify' unnecessary treatment based on that line.

People don't seem surprised that 50 out of 180 dentists would fuck up your teeth for money - because we know what dentists are like, and many of us share similar experience. I certainly do. I have some kind of nerve damage from a shitty dentist, was recommended unnecessary fillings and root canals, etc.

50 out of 180 isn't a normal error rate - it's the mark of a broken industry, crying out for overhaul and accountability. Where are the "good" dentists speaking out on this? In my experience even the good ones make excuses for the shysters.

And this shows how internationally building codes can be very different.

In Italy a room, any room for residential use, not only needs a window, but the window(s) surface must be at least 1/8 or in some cases 1/12 of the floor surface of that room, a windowless room can only be a bathroom (with a compulsory exhaust fan) or a closet/corridor/storage/utility room.

But this comes not from fire related laws, but rather from minimal health requirements (natural light, ventilation).

> This idea that being scarce implies value makes no sense

You’re putting words into their mouth, they didn’t say scarcity was important at all. They said that it was compelling the supply was finite. We can only guess what they meant since the comment didn’t elaborate, but they maybe meant that if there’s known, fixed quantity of BTC in existence there’s no chance of a big surprise quantity of BTC appearing from nowhere, and causing a price crash (like the Spanish mining silver in South America eventually did for the price of silver).

Personally I don't find that very convincing (BTC price already fluctuates wildly and there are enormous BTC “deposits” that could suddenly cause a crash if they were used) but maybe that's not what was meant either. Either way, I don't think projecting a non-obvious meaning onto this comment and using it lecture people on price-vs-value is very persuasive.
Ngl often times I wish there was a people person between me and clients. These damn people with their people things, ugh.

They probably wouldn't need a secretary though heh.
I disagree.

Personally what I like is solving business problems and delivering excellent solutions to happy customers. Coding is a means to an end for me. I originally learned to code as a teenager in order to build websites in an attempt to make money from them (with some success here and there). It wasn't because coding itself was particularly intriguing or fun, but it was a pathway to building a product that could generate income. I didn't hate it either, I found/find it somewhat fun, but there are many more things I would prefer to spend time on if my goal is pure recreation. The idea that I could sit at home with a keyboard and generate wealth for myself was what encouraged me to pursue this career.

Right now, if I didn't have customers or start ups to launch I would spend precisely zero time "tinkering" about with code for personal fun, the fun part for me is designing, delivering and selling the solution. I'm not obsessed with coding for the sake of the technology like a lot of people are, yet I love my "job" and I'm highly motivated and effective at what I do.
