This is exactly what I was waiting to see at the bottom of the article. It's what Medicare is trying to move towards in the US - doctors are paid more if their patients are healthy…

I actually recently bought a mattress at a local shop for my son, and it was one of the nicest shopping experiences I've had. He kept trying to guide me to the cheaper options beca…

Yes, I had no idea that was possible! I have had a total of 5 silent migraines (aura but no headache) in my life, and each time was terrifying. What's worse is that my current doct…

I really feel this. I've been working remotely for a few years, and will probably continue doing so for the foreseeable future, but there is no such thing as informal conversation …

I have seen this research before and it's very interesting! But I don't see how it explains why members of the red tribe would not be interested in reaching out and having conversa…

There is something to this. I am a big fan of the organization Braver Angels, which is working to reduce polarization and facilitate conversations between people with different vie…

I am not by any means a "covid-denier," but it seems to me this is evidence that the impact of Covid may be exaggerated. It's hard to say by how much (and I would be interested to …

Aside from the constant stream of projects with different pride flag colors, what politics have you seen on r/knitting? I never even saw the Karen Templar controversy discussed the…

That's really the idea behind Substack. You can subscribe to the journalists who investigate the issues you are interested in.

Charter schools are public schools and do not require vouchers. They are not considered private schools.

I'm curious - is it an altruistic act to leave this functionality enabled? I'm all for making wifi access easier for people.

This is my problem right now. My dentist told me my ground-down molars are some of the worst he's ever seen, but my splint makes me snore terribly (I wear it anyway). Not sure I'm …

What I didn't understand when I bought was that property taxes actually will make your mortgage payments go up. Mine went up about 1.5% after one year. I'm very curious what it wil…

I also was able to easily cancel online a few months ago (not in California). I'm wondering if they changed their policies recently, in which case this complaint is out of date.

That's interesting! I recently cancelled my NYT subscription using their live chat with no trouble at all.

I hear you on this. I loved the Ramona books when I was a kid, but I also got so frustrated with Ramona because she acted so irrationally. My favorite was "Beezus and Ramona" becau…

I think it's important to note that this article was (probably) not written by somebody from the Rationalist movement. It's from a libertarian blog that has its own axe to grind.

Every place I've ever worked has offered a referral bonus. How is that a red flag?

Can you share the third-party software you are using? I hate my C920 right now. I'm already pale, and it makes me look on the edge of death in every call.

From just reading the headline, I thought this article was going to be about little kids refusing to go to bed! I get so frustrated when my toddler won't go to sleep, exactly becau…

I got the chance to see him in action from being on the show, and he was probably the most impressive "people person" I've ever met. Just perfectly at ease telling stories and inte…

I actually found death a lot easier to deal with after I stopped being religious. The idea of existing for eternity is more terrifying to me than anything else I can imagine. I can…

This could be such a boon for Redmond. The area is way too expensive and the traffic is horrific, and this is mostly due to Microsoft workers needing to be in the office. We finall…
