Totally valid if you’re reaching the larger instance sizes. However I’d caution you to not underestimate what running a good HA Postgres setup costs in engineering/operations time (particularly if you’re not familiar with running one). Be ready to get a clearheaded TCO that you won’t be happy with.

In general, you need some sort of separate strictly serializable store run in an HA configuration to manage the state changes, and whatever is managing the state changes needs to be run in multiple instances across your fault domains as well. Others have mentioned Patroni; I’ve used it before (though with etcd, not k8s) and been quite happy with it. Be aware that (as it cautions you in the README) it’s not a total point and shoot tool, you do need to read through it’s caveats and understand the underlying Postgres replication features.

The documentation is pretty good, if you want to get an idea of what the logic looks like they have a nice state diagram: https://github.com/zalando/patroni/blob/master/docs/ha_loop_...
This is my experience here.
> The first amendment does not grant you the right to a platform. It simply doesn't.

This feels a little hand-wavy: in the past there have been "designated free speech zones" that are of course critized organizations like the ACLU as a form of censorship and denying free speech. I don't think it's too crazy to say that speech without a platform isn't speech at all. I'm not saying we should force sites to accept content they don't like but we are going to have to address the privatization of speech sooner rather than later.
Don't worry. Fiddling with your one free parameter to make your model look good is as quintessential to statistics as Student's t-distribution.
I'm fairly sure some people are clicking the heart (like?) button on every post they read to know when they can stop scrolling.
> Your tone is condescending and childish

it's one way to reply to FUD
> have no possibility of data leakage

Oh if I had a penny for every time someone said with such certainty that "this is safe" only to be proven wrong sooner rather than later I'd have a second yacht :).

> I don't believe for a hot minute that that this is all about privacy

Of course it's not. It's about appealing to the customer base Google and the likes are losing by using an actually useful feature as a bridge to them. For the moment our interests align, whether by side effect or not. That's it.

But while you get your "first class interesting features" in apps, and second class shaky experience in the browser, what do I get for privacy? They're both already turning (turned?) to malignancy with too much of the code dedicated to actual data extraction. You have your apps, let others have their browser at least. That was the escape when you wanted to touch Facebook and Google Maps and no 10ft pole was around. If you think I'm unreasonable for wanting a last bastion of privacy (saying this is a bit of a stretch), just think that you're the one who insists everything should be how you want it by turning even the browser into the hot mess that apps already are. And this in exchange for some "interesting features" that you already have if you need them just not in every single piece of software.

You're ostensibly a coder so I don't need to point you to all the instances of trust being breached via conscious decisions. But surely this time they won't abuse that power. Neither will the host of obscure and completely unvetted websites one may access.

I don't think there's more to be said. It never ceases too amaze me how cheaply people are willing to sell their privacy for and how much they're willing to fight to make sure this is everybody else's only option.
How to perform time travel (in theory)
>Social media companies have argued that they cant be held liable for things posted to their platforms in the past and have tried to position themselves at neutral platforms. When they start to become the arbitrators of what is and is not to be posted they are no longer neutral platforms like the phone company.

Social media companies don't become more liable just because they moderate. They all do that already. There's no sudden legal line between moderation involving messages with spam or bigotry.

I think anyone amplifying messages on a large-scale in a one-to-many manner, between people that aren't equally engaged in a conversation together, should be considered to start accruing responsibilities over the content of what they're participating in amplifying, in a way that a phone companies largely don't have. I think social media companies have been largely shirking that responsibility by phrasing it as a free speech issue and letting anything go.
There's an entirely innocuous reason for that: free speech isn't a concern for things that nobody is bothered by.
I suppose I am just very weary of a particular style of argument in this debate, which -- in addition to the tactic I called out -- frequently seems to include restating what the other person said as something worse, and then arguing against that restatement. And with all respect, that's what I think is happening here.

The person who wrote "Dehumanization is alive and well, even among progressives" was responding to someone who wrote "But that policy is not even talking about racism, however defined; it's talking about hate. Hate is hate, no matter who it's directed to. Prejudice is prejudice." (That is literally the entirety of their comment.) So at least the way I read this thread, "dehumanization" was introduced as a rhetorical device to equate "prejudice is prejudice" with "dehumanize your opponents."

Given that I'm being downvoted repeatedly, I guess others don't see it that way, but I'm going to be blunt. I just reread the thread and I do not think I'm the one giving things an unfair reading. I don't see a call for "dehumanization" here, and if folks are going to come down on me for failing to address an argument that isn't being made, I don't know what to say. ("Have you stopped beating your wife yet?")
It’s convenient to omit that the Irish were not considered “white” when they were being discriminated against. They were instead considered their own, distinct race. In most contexts, “white” implicitly meant “normal” and anyone you want to discriminate against got their own, separate label (see also the Jews and the Romani). That’s the crux of the problem.
Makes sense to support it and respect users privacy. If they forget their login, they can just sign in with apple again? And if they contact you for support they can provide their email address to you then.
Then people need to give up on this "its a pipeline problem" argument, like tech companies have no capability of acquiring different pipelines.
I don’t know if I’d celebrate Spring... and Oracle would rather Android use “real” Java, not Dalvik.

The JVM was nice at the time, but I feel that languages like Scalia and Kotlin exist because Java was too conservative - and many of Kotlin’s great features had to be implemented using hacks and tricks to work-around the JVM’s now-primitive type-system. Also note that Kotlin can now target other platforms besides the JVM.

I think we can all agree the JVM is lagging behind the CLR, and the CLR is behind where we should be (when looking at the things that Clang is capable of)
Yeah it's kind of shocking to see people defend white nationalist speech on private platforms. Of all the marginalized groups out there why does the group that advocates for the discrimination, removal, or even genocide of historically discriminated and murdered people (black people, indigenous people, Jewish people) need defending?
Yes exactly. We think that a tool that does not encompass every use case and device is too narrow and not appealing to the design community
If I’m on Windows and see Sign-in with Apple how am I supposed to sign in? By typing in a generated email address? It’d not that it can’t work, it’s that it’s a miserable user experience.

Links Between Climate Change Denial and Trophy Hunting Advocacy
From a EU perspective, US Conservatives are pretty extreme though (not to even mention the religious variation).

There seem to be some idea here on HN that racism/white-supremacy bullshit is somehow comparable with an oppressed scientist being persecuted by a dogmatic clergy for their new found facts. That maybe, in the future, these ideas will prevail and become acceptable again, when the oppression slowly subsides.

Is this really what you think racism is? Some oppressed idea that needs a room because maybe it's actually a bit correct and we'll only know about it if we don't suppress the racists?

But these things are objectively wrong. The above scenario isn't there. If you somehow think so, I think that says more about you than those that want to be intolerant towards intolerance. Please explain yourselves.
Good on India. They're smarter than we are.
That's not how it works. Platforms like Reddit and Facebook do the opposite of what you describe. They are walled gardens that go out of their way to prevent you from escaping to the open Internet.

Incident Response – What, Why (and How to Learn it for Free)
> A few comments say Peter Molyneux (again, don't know this guy) is not specifically racist but has white-centric views.

It's Stefan not Peter. But he is very "specifically racist". He believes that arabic people are too dumb for democracy. Among a litany of other terrible statements.
I definitely agree that it's tricky, and I don't think "Nazis" are the only threat we face today. Anybody whose approach to discourse is to shout down ideas rather than engage with them in good faith or just ignore them and walk away is suspect, IMO.

For instance, after 2020 so far I'm definitely at the point where I have serious doubts about the judgment of any Trump supporter or even any Republican voter, but if they try to have a real conversation with me it's not like I'm going to start yelling and throwing punches. On the other hand, if they're driving around outside a hospital screaming at nurses and threatening them, I'd be more in favor of "sanctions" against that person because I think that sort of conduct goes beyond mere expression. The right seems to delight in conflating violence and threat with free expression.

Illiberalism seems to be winning, unfortunately. The purity spiral crap on the left is just as upsetting to me as the right's zeal for ignorance, even if I don't think it's doing nearly as much damage right now.
I would add the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 to your list of reforms that broke Congress. Getting rid of the secret ballot sounds good in theory, but it creates the same hazards as any other public vote - it's easy to verify if the Congressperson you spent thousands lobbying was worth the investment or not.
I find Apple's Sign in approach shady (forcing apps to have it, and have it first on the list), but this response is also about not liking the privacy features of Apple Sign in so... I wouldn't read much into it.
Can't they still accept paper checks? I think banks are obligated to honor them. Groups like the KKK and the Daily Stormer have managed to stay in business.
Keep telling yourself that, but it's all just a veneer over the same toxic, exclusionary, and racist bullshit.

> Imagine calling jews who want to have their own country in Israel "jewish supremacists".

Jews wanted to have their own country because of thousands of years of persecution by basically everyone, everywhere, after they were driven out of their own home. When that happens to white people, I'll accept your argument.
> In the end, the SSC guy banned more and more commenters but it wasn't sufficient to save him and he ended up deleting his blog when the world turned its eyes to the kinds of discussions he allowed.

That isn't why he deleted it. He deleted it because the NYT was threatening to publish his real name in a way that would make it untenable for him to continue to practice psychiatry.

To reduce criticism of SPLC to "racism" isn't helping the health of discourse here.

But very few countries have homicide rates worse than US and lower life expectancy, despite having the highest spending per capita in health care in the World

So maybe before criticizing, fix your own problems.

Assuming you can.

Parler Is Banning Users It Doesn't Like
RICO exists. If the criminal activities were systematically prompted by a group, they can be sued and all their members may be prosecuted for these crimes, especially their leaders.

So no, this is entirely incorrect.
It’s possible if people are using company-provided devices at home in lieu of their own, and the company is providing Windows devices while theirs were Apple. I don’t know the likelihood of this explanation, though.
If you break down political ideas into just left and right, the libertarian belief small government with strong property rights puts them fairly far right.

I feel like they address this in the article. What you say makes sense in a technical UML diagram point of view, but that's not how people work.

The examples they give are getting support and sharing things with another person with an account. As a user, both of those things are easier for me if there is an email associated with the account.

Said another way, the Account needs some human friendly global identifier. The email you use to log in is an obvious choice, and anything else would require extra work from the user to set up. You could have usernames, for example, but that complicates the signup process and still makes sharing things hard. I know my friends emails already, but I don't know what username they ended up with on this site.
not the same poster, but I think the point they were making had to do with the criticality of services and availability of alternatives?

Should the only grocery store in a town be able to refuse service to an individual that they don't like? It is unlikely a single individual is in a position to open a grocery store that can economically compete with the super-wall-mart.

How about a gas station in the middle of a desert where refusing service might literally result in death?
(Googler, opinions are my own)

It really depends on the types of products and what the consumer experience is like. Google is an interesting beast in that we provide services across a wide variety of billing models.

You have immediate product purchases, where knowing that the transactions is complete immediately can be important (ex: Play store games, or movies). Credit cards are great for that instant guarantee.

For delayed billing or threshold billing (Ads), slower payment methods can work great (eg: ACH, wires, vouchers). Some of these also allow a standing instruction that a company that just keep paying money against to top-up their account (and Google will see it as a bank statement push payment).

So yes, Credit Cards are a small volume of US payments, they enable specific products that don't work great with ACH or wires. If the US ever gets 100% ubiquitous instant bank push payments, maybe that'll change, but our banking system is too disjoint to move at any kind of speed to do this.
Wow you're not kidding that's actually surprisingly clear documentation and it should be very easy to implement.
Not really. What you're talking about is OpenId/some sort of OAuth. The parent comment is talking about mixing the activity from a bunch of projects into one.

They both require persistence semantics. I forgot to mention, I was referring to a single node, no-HDFS setup for HBase, solely relying on Kubernetes StatefulSets for data availability, in the simplified persistene sense, not much different than a single Posgres server.
I mean, if this is pushing them to remove Facebook login, Sign in with Apple and the resulting requirement to use it has been a net positive for privacy for AnyList as well.
I think the idea of marketplace of ideas is that an idea loses by being unpopular, not by another idea persuading large institutions to ban it.

Your interpretation, that persuading a large institution to ban opposition ideas is winning, and being banned is losing, is entirely consistent with getting rid of the 1st amendment.
Stefan Molyneux, not Peter.

I’m sadden a bit to see him banned, but haven’t kept up with him in years. He was big in AnCap circles for a while but was a bit “out there” even in that group. He always struck me as somewhat unstable, so I guess it isn’t really a surprise. I don’t even have the urge to go see what he’s been posting.

Actually, no. The Irish were not considered white when they were oppressed. This is one of the key components of white supremacy, the definition of white is absurd and ever changing in order to achieve various political goals.

If europe sides with China, they will eventually be cutoff like what is happening with China. It will take a couple of decades and I don't see it turning around to go back at this point.

The question for Europeans will be which market they prefer to do business in. Are you so sure you prefer your current choices? Does your country have memories from Stalin and Lenin? That's the type of communism you are getting with CCP with a huge helping of corporate espionage, manipulation, and double standards.

While those who defend them may disagree, defending white supremacy is in itself white supremacy. They defend it because they believe it.

The thing that still continues to shock me is that there are people here that argue on behalf of white supremacists but still argue that they themselves are not, instead they are playing "devils advocate". At some point, let's call a duck a duck.
So formula wise it would be something like this?

d = dollars
t = transactions count

I(d,t) = Interchange total profit/cost to a bank from fees in and out
F(d) = scaling function for interchange returns based on cash pushed through as an arbitrary function
G(t) = transaction cost function based upon arbitrary scaling.

I(d,t) =F(d) - G(t)
