Beautiful description of your experiences. The psilocybin experience sounds like it was guided by a professional? was it and if so, how did you find that person?

Robert Reich, professor of economics at UC Berkeley, put a course online this year with all of the stats you seek. Yes, wealth inequality makes income inequality seem like an easy to measure proxy yet ultimately misguided metric.

you’re tired of hearing people are irrational so your response is to assume they’re all rational and it’s simply beyond everyone else’s understanding?

And yet this screed is representative of those West Virginians who make the state great. Hang in there.

I should add that what makes it work so nicely with pihole is you can use regular expressions for the DNS allow/block lists. So the kids group has a deny rule of `.*` and those few explicit allowed sites I mentioned.

It's stock pihole functionality, just the basic groups management feature and default blocklist. Using the stock pihole docker container. There are some helpful blog posts [1, 2] in the top google search results for this setup but honestly very easy setup. I like simple setups.

I use pihole running on our household synology nas. Kids devices are in a group, there’s a rule that blocks all DNS lookups. Kids are trained to set timers, and I set one too, and when the timer goes off, I pull out my phone and click the single button that turns off their DNS. There are exceptions for Kahn Academy, Wikipedia, Prodigy Software; maybe will add more as kids age. Been very happy with this setup. And I’ll be so proud when they learn to bypass it.
Re:Ask HN: Best beginner friendly linear algebra book?
on Saturday June 11, 2022 @03:13PM (#31707314)
“Introduction to Linear Algebra” by Gilbert Strang is the book. Recommend getting a used older edition as not much has changed.
His course at MIT is legendary, completely available online https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010...
And there’s so much good linear algebra stuff on YouTube from 3brown1blue.
If you can do one thing now, watch this Veritasium video to disprove the myth that you’re a visual learner: https://youtu.be/rhgwIhB58PA.
