I’m not deferring to WaPo, but rather two academics at the London School of Economics. Their paper is linked in the WaPo article. I don’t believe either is affiliated with the US government, or even an American citizen, so I don’t see how their article could be called “investigating ourselves.”
I guess her answer stands either way, but the idea that sanctions killed half a million children is Hussein’s phony propaganda, and subsequent research has shown no increase in child mortality during the time of the sanctions.

One important note for residents of California and New Jersey: if you live in one of these states you must pay state tax on HSA contributions and gains, the same as if it were a regular taxable account. Your HSA is still tax-advantaged at the federal level though
Question, hopefully not too off topic: if I subscribe, can I get the weekly edition emailed to me like a newsletter? Or at least a notification when it’s posted? I want to subscribe but doubt I’ll actually remember to log in and read it every week.
I love FreeBSD but to me it doesn’t sound like a great fit for OP. It sounds like OP wants something that will work out of the box, and in my experience FreeBSD on the desktop is harder to setup and usually requires some fussing, especially if you need WiFi or have other exotic devices. The docs are fantastic, but because it’s less popular as a desktop operating system, it’s harder to google for solutions to problems.
> I honestly think it is a little stupid not to do any monetization.
This may be a popular sentiment on hacker news but thankfully it is an unpopular view among the best programmers. If everyone thought like this, there would be no Linux, no GNU. We’d all be reading this in Internet Explorer on Windows
There are “free for non-commercial use” licenses, but that is inherently a non-free license. If you restrict what someone can do with the software, it’s not free as in speech.
The best source I know of for learning to invest is The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing. It doesn’t just tell you what to invest in, it explains the why.
Rather than trying to find some get rich quick scheme, I really recommend you find work you enjoy that pays money and prepare to work for another 10-20 years. Invest wisely and avoid risky schemes like cryptocurrency or trading.
Lots are recommending CLRS, but IMO it is way too dry and dense for a first course.
I taught myself algorithms with the Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena, and I strongly recommend it. The first half is an exposition on algorithms, and it is mercifully readable, fun, and short.
The second half is a catalog of different algorithms. You don’t really read through it, but it is useful as a reference if you have a specific problem you’re trying to solve and you want a background on algorithms in that area.
Normally I’d agree, but in this case the meaning of the acronym tells you nothing (it stands for Berkeley Packet Filter. Make sense?) and BPF is easily googleable.
Also, it’s safe to assume that regular readers of LWN will know a little about BPF. Though obviously in this case it rose to the top of HN where it’s likely to be seen by a wider audience.
It sounds like you’re trying to determine if your tiredness is an inevitable side effect of a productive day, if unproductive days are just random, or if your variation in productivity can be optimized. I don’t know the answers for you, but you might be able to better understand your productivity by keeping a detailed time log of your work.
For two weeks, keep track of every minute of your working time. Once you know where your time went, you can then try to understand why your less-productive days are less productive. Was it because you were too tired to concentrate? Did your “super productive” day involve 12 hours of focused work? You might find there’s not as big a difference as you think between different days, except that some days feel productive because you happen to finish some task, when in reality the groundwork for finishing it was laid on a day that felt unproductive.
