I listened to a recent podcast that went into excruciating detail about how NY basically shunted white students into "gifted" programs and stacked black and Puerto Rican students in overcrowded schools that had to rotate classes at lunch. Kids basically got half a days education.

This is not an isolated incident, just forgotten. Well funded districts are often not spending on every child.
> One of the issues we have in the US is that telecoms charge the recipient for these calls, not the originator. In some (many? most?) other countries that's reversed and such activities are much less prevalent.

Here in Australia the caller pays, and I still get daily spam calls. Nearly always from Indian call centres using VOIP services (can tell by the unique/different audio quality), or showing what I assume are spoofed CIDs (Zimbabwe, etc).

I can speak to this, having shared a lot of MDMA experiences with a self-professed sociopath who was formerly a good friend until he crossed the line a bit (harmlessly).

The experiences seemed to be more hedonistic for him than anything... However -- and this is big, imo -- the MDMA did help him open up about a lot of things (for example, being a sociopath) and other kinds of darker predilections that he had kept inside / experienced in the past. And I think it made him a much better person for it, in all kinds of ways, just getting this stuff out and sharing.

But in the end, the relationship fell apart because I couldn't deal with the subtle manipulation that he would constantly try to get away with (hilariously assuming that I couldn't pick up on what he was doing, which was often very obvious -- a sociopathic trait, being unable to relate and thinking oneself superior). We had a lot of good times, and I think about those days often. In the end I just couldn't handle the quirks... which might say more about me than him.

> I’ve never seen a production Kube system with HA etcd go down due to non-human error

I have, with OpenShift, several times. The worst one took hours to get it partially back online, days to fully recover. At least I got to have one free drink before I had to leave our holiday party to start fixing it. (Ok, technically it was non-prod; luckily prod was ECS... long story)

> I don’t believe single instance is going to give you better availability when single machine faults happen

Depends on your definition and context of availability. It is possibly the simplest thing to destroy any existing nodes (and in the event that a node can't be destroyed, null-route it and/or disable its network port) and bring up a new node. So single instance is fairly easy to recover. But with multiple nodes, for each function of each instance that is required to reach consensus, the likelihood of consensus failure increases; you actually need more nodes and variety in the cluster to resist consensus failure. Yet ironically, the more nodes you have, the higher the probability of failure. In the end, the real-world reliability of the system is based on additional factors besides the network model.

Disk paging should go away but only I think if the system also supports memory compression. iOS has had page compression for a long time. The time taken to compress a page with a reasonable algorithm is orders of magnitude faster than the disk write, even for SSDs.

Ask HN: If you use a bot/AI to write your article, do you need to disclose it?
A recent HN discussion [1] about whether an article was written by a bot or not made me feel.. slightly deceived I guess? It wasn't proven to be a bot, but the accusation sowed a seed of doubt in my mind. It got me thinking about a deeper question: does it matter if a bot wrote it? Should we discount articles written by bots, and if so, on what basis?

I remember being hoodwinked by GPT-3 a few months ago [2] but the author disclosed the fact that he used AI to write it.

Not totally related to dyslexia, but I had a severe stutter in English (my native language) as a child but have never once stuttered in Spanish (close-to-fluent for about 10 years of my life, though I am rusty now) or German (beginner, but I lived there for a while and spoke conversationally daily). This has always intrigued me because it feels like magic to me when I don’t stutter in foreign languages. The only explanation I have is that my stutter was possibly exacerbated by my public speaking anxiety as a child, something I grew out of rapidly while maintaining a bit of the stutter.

Yes, it's true that reading and writing at an adult level requires knowing at least the "common" ones, about two to three thousand Kanji characters.

However, Hiragana and Katakana are not just for children or students. They form a significant portion of everyday text, and in fact necessary for constructing sentences properly in Japanese. For example, many/most grammatical particles like "of", "in", "to", "from", are written in Hiragana. And foreign/imported words are usually in Katakana.

Regarding the ease of pronunciation - I think the grandparent comment was talking about the sounds of the language, not about memorizing how to read and pronounce the text.

Japanese speech is composed of a fairly small set of simple sounds, similar to Spanish. Having taught both Japanese and English, I would say the latter has many more tricky sounds - like th in "the", or ar in arm (especially how Americans say it). In contrast, if one knows the sounds of each Hiragana (consonant + vowel combination), they cover almost all of Japanese speech.
C does destructive conversions automatically, if you ask for it. E.g.

unsigned n;
n = 2.99; // n = 2
n = -1; // n = 2^M-1;
n = 1.0E33; // undefined but not catched

Both C and C++ follow the same philosopy: "Trust the programmer". The programmer is expected to use his expressive freedom, to solve performance problems and stay away from problematic constructs without being told to so. C is a systems programming language from the 70's, designed to solve performance problems and C++ inherits from that.
It is true, that in C++, you can overload assignment, addition and throw exceptions everywhere, thus making even simple expressions like

auto n = a + b;

completely unpredictable. But the coder simply has abused the freedom C++ gave him. T some extent, the same is possible in C, look here https://www.ioccc.org/

I find it surprising sociopaths are allowed to just be free in society. They invariably are a net loss for society and certainly for anyone who is involved with them. I can’t even imagine how screwed this persons husband would be if this article were true. One way to spot a sociopath is to look at the people close to them. They almost always are a little odd or dumb. This is because smart, normal people never allow themselves to get too close to sociopaths. Somewhere along the line between acquaintance and close friend, most people get a peek under the veil and feel the cold, nauseating feeling that comes over you when you encounter pure, unnatural evil. People really don’t get it until they have some kind of experience with a sociopath. There’s nothing more creepy than getting that glimpse of their true nature, through a small crack in their facade, and seeing things that are totally outside of normal human behavior. Things you wouldn’t even think of until you saw it. The reason why nobody gets it is because it’s just too alien.

Sociopaths are dangerous. Everything in our culture and society is built around the fact, purposefully or not, that most people have basic empathy for the direct and visceral experience of seeing another person suffer. If you involve yourself with a sociopath, there are no mechanisms at play to help you. You will find yourself totally destroyed. If everyone in the world really knew what sociopaths are, they wouldn’t be allowed to roam freely. I’m astounded at how casually the subject is addressed in this thread.

> It does not even have a functioning library, he said.

I find this puzzling. I've bought probably over a thousand books of all sorts from thrift stores, often for less than a buck. I have a nice set of encyclopedias I cannot give away. There's a sign at the local used book shop "we don't want encyclopedias". There are two Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood I salt with good scifi books, no takers. The local supermarket parking lot has a dumpster which says it collects books, lots of mine wind up there.

I gave a box of scifi books to the electrician who came by to do some repairs.

I buy grab-bag boxes of scifi off of ebay for $.50 a book.

Books are not hard to come by.

I can vouch for Canada.

In Canada, you pay federal income tax plus provincial income tax to the province of your residence. You also get services (e.g. healthcare) from the province of your residence.

If you live in one province but work (remotely or in-person) in another province, the company deducts taxes based on its own location. When you file taxes at the end of the year and indicate your province of residence, taxes get recalculated based on that and you either have to pay or get a refund. Taxes already deducted will automatically get transferred to the province of residence (it may be a bit different if one of the provinces is Quebec. In that case, some more manual intervention may be required. But the taxes owed are still calculated based on residence).

If you move your residence during the year, your residence as of December 31 are used for calculating taxes.
I am posting to point out that one of the reasons it’s very much worth having is the “real, but not dramatic” improvement in recovery times you note. There are substantial expenses on hospital stays — one reason why they set the price where it is, it pays for itself easily — and it flattens the tip of the “hospitalized patients” curve, leaving more room in case more are ill.
> So where do you stand on 230?

I generally support 230. There may be some tweaks that could be made that I would support, but the general concept behind 230 is correct.

> Are private entities responsible for the content they host?

Generally no. Private entities are responsible for the content that they publish, not for the content that they host. An example being the comment section on a news site versus the news article on a news site. The latter is content that they published, the former is content that they host.

> If we repeal 230 and someone posts something falsely defaming me, who do I sue?

IANAL but I would imagine if 230 is repealed and some one libels you, you sue the platform and the content creator.

If 230 isn't repealed you sue the content creator and ask for an injunction against the platform to remove the content.
I'm sure there are lots of sociopaths with smart friends, they are just better at acting normal. Of course sociopaths all seem creepy, because they are the only ones you notice. If you look at someone like Ted Bundy, he had lots of fairly normal friends who were very surprised to hear what he had done.

And I think it's a bad idea to try and imprison people because of who they are.

Salaries are not often a function of an individual’s alternative opportunities. For example, salaries are extremely durable even in economic downturns. A person might have children and become “locked in” to a job because of sudden family financial obligations, decreasing their ability to job search, pass interviews, or take a risky move. Yet that doesn’t lead their employer to suddenly cut their salary because an external life factor such as family status (which is no different in kind from geo location) changes the landscape of opportunities they could consider.
Overall, a well written article.

> (It may be time for paging out to disk to go away. It's a huge performance hit. Mobile doesn't do it. And RAM is so cheap.)

A small swap area (like half a gig) can give a useful indicator of too much memory use that can be hard to get otherwise. If your disk paging hits a certain rate, or you hit 50% used, or rapid growth, you have a problem you need to solve right away. Sometimes that gives you enough time to move load and avoid a messy OOM death.

I don’t know that I agree with MA in this case, but you can’t ignore the broad context. New Hampshire has, for decades, been in aggressive pursuit of revenue from MA residents.

- The shopping malls just across the border where MA residents don’t have to pay sales tax - just tolls (An employee at the Salem Apple store once divulged to me that it was the highest grossing Apple store in the world)

- The state run, tax free liquor stores just across the border that attract droves of MA residents

- The ease of procuring fireworks and weapons (the former illegal in MA, the latter far more difficult to obtain) just across nearly every border crossing

New Hampshire might to some extent have a valid point here, but it also feels like they won’t tolerate a taste of their own medicine.

> There is no one true yourself, just many different versions and possibilities

At the anecdotal, personal experience level, I noticed that many of the people I met in college who were depressed or otherwise somehow stuck were stuck “looking for themselves” to the point that I decided the cliche that we should all find ourselves should be considered harmful. There was just so many of these people out there.

Around that same time I came to believe, as a countervailing measure if anything, that to the extent possible, in the absence of other direction or desire, people should do what they are good at. Being good at something and doing it feels good and will in time become what you like and “who you are.” You’ll be good at it, and everything will be great. If you’re not good at anything, the challenge, then, is to find something you’re good at. But drifting from thing to thing trying to find yourself is way harder and less reliable, and I think this is because as this article says, there is no yourself to find.
