While I suspect that your budget could probably be tightened up a bit, I have to say that I'm ever glad I never wanted to have children - just keeping my own ass housed, fed, and health-insured (important for someone with a bit of disability) takes about everything I got.

There was another story here this morning that got some discussion about how people are omitting children as a way of finding work-life balance; who can blame them?

Yeah, I mean that is indeed the most likely outcome. If there is the proper breaker installed, the wires are wired in the correct way, there is no lightning-induced power surge, etc. The idea of electrical safety rules is to reduce catastrophic consequences in unlikely scenarios.

Get the car checked out by a trusted mechanic or shop before buying it (a mechanic or shop that you've used before). They charge less than $200. Yes, they can miss problems, but they're not going to miss obvious problems. i've done this and the buyers never had a problem with it. If the buyer pressures you, "I've got 3 other people lined up to buy", then walk. You don't need THAT car THAT badly.

None if this is true. For example, the "pro-Russian President" wasn't overthrown. At Russian pressure, he ditched a very favorable trade agreement with the EU that would've opened up many new business opportunities for Ukrainians. When protesters assembled, he ordered police snipers to shoot at them, killing 108 people. He fled to Russia the next day and Ukraine's parliament voted to remove him from office, and scheduled new elections, which were held three months later.

One of things that has been happening under the radar in NA is an enormous amount of consolidation and mergers. While you might see a lot of different brand names for stores (and the products they carry), in reality there is actually not that much competition.

In Canada, for example, there are basically only 3 huge grocers (some internationals as well, like Costco and Walmart, but that's only recently). They have been caught price fixing bread, for an example, from 2001 to 2015. I imagine there is much more going on.
Even US had it solved two decades ago on a peak of post 9/11 paranoia. Federal agencies use smartcards internally, there is federal root and the copy-cat of that was successfully rolled out in different flavors in several countries in Europe as well.

On the other side of the spectrum, there is Dutch digi Id, which is the only way to use any government service online and works either with pure and simple username+password or a second factor through the app. There is no rocket since involved -- government agency sends you an activation code to your registered address and you activate the app.

Then there is Ukrainian Diia, which is kinda both and also bundles government services themsevles and a digital id generator into the same app. But it's all built on top of existing PKI infrastructure that is used for decades before to tackle the problem of district tax office doing shenanigans with your tax reports.

People of Ukraine did the revolution. The western backing you’re talking about was limited to vague verbal expressions of support.

That only happened on the territories invaded by the Russians.

None of the above, it is evidence that the US Bureau of Economic Analysis Personal Income metric "does not include realized or unrealized capital gains or losses." So for example if you sell some stocks for a profit and then spend that money on something, this blog post would consider that "dissaving", because the money you made on the sale isn't part of your Personal Income.

Good job, starting off strong with a real substantive criticism.

> I would imagine that most people attending college at least intend to learn something and level up some ability.

Your imagination is lacking and you have not spoken with many 18 year olds, the vast majority are not highly motivated learners. A large number of degrees teach skills that are not even valuable enough to pay back the amount of money that is put in. So they are leveling up in worthless shit. All these indebted graduates are clamoring to have the government pay for their bad decisions. None of them blame the institutions that charge these exorbitant amounts to supposedly become "cultured" and "creative".

Be sure to make complete use of any subsidies you can get through the marketplace.

For example, if you saved up some money to live off of while you get your business going, it's very possible that your net income for the year could be negative (or at least very low), so with a spouse and kids it's feasible that your insurance premiums could be $0.

Of course, once you start making money, you'll want to dial back and eventually stop using the subsidies, otherwise come tax time you'll have to pay them all back for that year.
I kinda went down autonomous home rabbit hole, so I self-host everything in a way that can work without Internet.

I use my router to host my house's DNS zone (it's set up as a secondary), along with the TLD zone NS records. I still haven't solved how to do that with DNSSEC, but it's on my TODO list.

Next, I have a SIP-based intercom system built on Cisco videophone, with a self-made doorbell on a RPi with a camera and a microphone. It can call my cellphone via a SIP gateway, but so far I haven't solved how to make video SIP calls to cell phones. I don't think it's even possible, so I'll probably switch to Telegram or WhatsApp API instead (I have both on my phone anyway).

Of course, I have a local video security that mirrors in real time to the cloud, and two redundant Internet connections (a fiber to my ISP and Starlink). Everything automation-related is POE-powered, with a battery backup (and I'm working on adding remote monitoring to a Jackery power bank).

It's a pretty fun way to spend some time tinkering with technology.

Yes the report sounds like Dartmouth is trying to do a good job of weighting the scores based on things that matter for college success--meaning not the race of the person.

The point I was trying to make was that it appears many colleges may have an incentive to NOT require ACT SAT tests if they want to continue to use race or proxy for race and avoid what the report from Dartmouth is suggesting. Dartmouth looks like they are considering ACT/SAT along with the students background / opportunities, but specifically NOT treating people differently based on the color of their skin.

Dartmouth is assuming that they will get racial diversity just by getting better at selecting the best students instead of trying to penalize or reward people for the color of their skin.
"Wrappers like Error considered harmful"

That is, people will go around and say "exceptions suck, lets use some object like Error so we can tangle up our happy paths and unhappy paths." Most of the time you find that error handling is absent or seriously deficient when people use Error(s) and similar things. This blog post finds the usual scenario: one web framework is almost right, the others aren't even in wrong.

Now Rust does have particular reasons why the happy and unhappy paths shouldn't diverge too much because otherwise the memory management problem gets harder.

It's a long way from pizza to prions. There is just a correlation, not cause and effect. For all I know, the craving for processed foods might be a symptom and not a cause. Saying that because I know zero about Alzheimers and the one thing I know is that finding a cause is the way to a cure.

From the article:

> Modular materials also tend to reduce traffic speeds, since [they] create a surface that is not as seamless as fresh asphalt or concrete. In one brick installation project, the average speed dropped from 41 mph to 29 mph. This represents 30% decrease in speed, and the risk of death when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle is approximately 4x higher at 40 mph versus at 30 mph.

I mean ... this pretty much says it all? For the vast majority of roads this is simply unacceptable. The main reason asphalt is used is that during its effective lifetime, the road surface is smooth and even.

really anything beyond that is an overgeneralization.

Forbes has a handy list for banks [1], that were usually nationalized, cleared up and the remains sold off. There was an article detailing the practice here on HN a year or so ago, but I can't find it at the moment - it was around the time of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse I think.

Additionally, after 2001 airlines were bailed out, and in the wake of 2008ff car makers and more banks [2].

This is a critical part. The problem is not using metrics (like SAT/ACT), the problem is using metrics blindly. That's the thing that always bugs me is when people just go on metrics alone as if they perfectly align with what's being attempted to be measured when metrics are only guides which choices must then be made from through careful evaluation.
Having an LLM be in charge of business logic is madness.

There cannot be any AI involved when processing the definition of a KPI. Otherwise you'll never be able to roll it out to thousands of users when there's always a 90% (or even 99%) chance that the business logic might not get applied correctly.

I haven't fully thought through this, but -

Why can't regulators try splitting Boeing up, anti-trust style? Part of the issue is that there's no competition. (Yes, Airbus, but tariffs seem to factor into purchasing decisions a lot.) If you create more competition, everybody should benefit.
> Not all leaders can be negotiated with, that is simply my point.

Putin isn't Hitler. People are way too quick to write off negotiation when it is people's real lives at play.

> They've sent huge amounts of aid already to Ukraine (~1% of GDP versus 0.2% of GDP for the USA).

False? not sure where you are getting your numbers from but USA has sent both considerably more in magnitude and as a percentage of the GDP through the end of 2023.

Germany doesn't even spend 2% of GDP on all military expenses (they recently pledged to as it is a new NATO requirement), they are not spending half of that on Ukraine allocation.

> It's not realistic. The only person who is going to do that is Trump.

Wavering support for the Ukraine war is not just a Trump-ism phenomenon. I am not sure how the media reports this in the UK but support is collapsing across both parties in the polls.

A majority of Americans think Trump is stupid too and you are very unlikely to meet a supporter on HN.

> Good luck standing up to China alone, in that case

US policymakers already perceive no will to stand up to China among EU lawmakers.

> And how would we benefit exactly from trading away our security? How can the US force us?

EU+UK citizens will not be willing to pay the full brunt of this conflict for an extended period of time.

The fact of the matter is that most Europeans are much more ambivalent about this conflict than you are implying [0] which is obvious from the polling. Ratchet up the spending and energy price impact to considerable portions of GDP and what will happen?

I wonder when you will arrive at the understanding that if Russia is not going to have more revolutions, then you are going to have to live alongside Russia on the tiniest of continents and it would be best for both sides to learn how.

Is's not like you're going in with a military action and capturing Volgograd, after all. Adolf Hitler could be neutralized by capturing Berlin. Good luck dealing with Russia that way.
My friends and I all prepped on our own. It really helped to have that kind of friendly competitive mindset among high school friends to provide each other motivation to one-up everyone else. Of course all of us were middle class, and we were all raised in the kinds of families value education above many things.

MIT publicly said their stats showed that SAT was the best predictor of graduation (MIT tracks six-year graduation rate): https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/we-are-reinstating-our...

They accepted me (same year as the guy who wrote that article!) from a high school than only gave letter grades, computed no class rank or GPA, and offered no "AP" classes or SAT prep. Then again, back then, I don't remember colleges caring about extracurriculars either, though I might have forgotten.
> Security may just offer to beat your ass if you won't cease and desist

To be clear, if they tell you to stop playing, and you don’t, then they absolutely can call the police for trespassing, which is a crime.

I don’t think most casinos have private security that will beat you any more, since they can tell you to stop playing and enforce that with police.
> Rather than pushing forward and destroying everything

In the early days they wouldn't have accomplished anything by pushing forward, so it doesn't take all that much restraint.

I'm more impressed by people in, say, the 1990s or early 2000s. They might've had a shot but there was still too much risk, so they restrained themselves until it was a safer bet.

Yeah, Suisse can be a bit weird - ultra modern stuff mixed with very conservative stuff from maybe 70s or 50s, not sure which century though.

I have a single proper horror story with otherwise flawless (yet nontrivial) Swiss bureaucracy - one of those situations where you are completely at the mercy of incompetent bureaucrat which couldn't care less, to allow just your basic existence in this country as a highly sought-after expat, since evidently solid past 12 years means nothing.

You see the process working on others within few weeks yet you are stuck there, without any info apart from 'wait', without any option to anyhow contact physical person handling your case, your main permit allowing your existence here expiring, yet the evidently lazy bureaucrat which sometimes picks up official phone for whole bureau doesn't bulge a bit, stating 'there is no time limit how long this could take, bye'. I tried naively to just go to the bureau but was literally kicked out of the building. Literally untouchable folks.

And then other bureaucrat by chance picks up a phone and takes a look after a year during one desperate final call, balks in horror and WTFs, goes on 5 minute tirade full of apologies (I guess I could sue Geneva canton for undue stress on me and whole family since that shit was real we could be easily forced out) promptly does everything in 5 minutes.

Yeah, using bad (phone) photo copies of IDs in 2024 is the least problem with Swiss bureaucracy for me here, there seems to be a lot of ingrained trust in the system (which is great when it works).
The SAT was based on IQ tests used during WWI to try and find draftees with the most potential who shouldn't be wasted in the trenches. Standardized tests have always been about making things as fair as possible, and the fact that paying huge money for tutoring only results in minor score improvements should be a sign they are effective

the war against them was because people didn't like the implications that poor Asian immigrants were able to outscore other demographics regardless of income, which goes against modern academia's favored nurture over nature mindset and destroys the basis for trillions in social programs. Standardized tests effectively threaten the entire house of cards, even more than the replication crisis showing that most of the "research" used to justify modern social programs was fake in the first place
> SpaceX ahs yet to get us some place we haven't been in space, or at the very least one we have not been to in a long time.

It got us to a place where the cost of a rocket launch is 10 times less than it was before, and soon it will get us to 100 times less. It's just a matter of time that this is leveraged to bring us to new physical places.

> And equalizing SpaceX successes with Musk a person does way more than just rub me the wrong way.

He is the person that single-handedly made the decision to start a rocket company, decided on the initial architecture, hired the key people and finance the whole operation.
