> org that arrested him specifically mentions the US sanctions in their press release

I'm not arguing it's irrelevant. Just that this doesn't look like a sanctions arrest. Tornado Cash was sanctioned on 8 August. There hasn't been enough time for someone to violate the sanctions and produce enough evidence to get arrested. More likely: the same alleged crimes that got Tornado sanctioned prompted this arrest.
I think because it dis-empowers programmers and gives that power to "architects", SREs, system administrators etc. Decisions that could have been made and enforced through code instead must be coordinated across multiple systems.
> Don't know your use case, but C++ for a REST api seems extreme overkill. Any performance benefits would most likely be nullified by network latency

It seems you're mistakenly confusing the time a request takes to be fulfilled with performance.

In the server, performance means throughput. If means nothing if a task handler stays ages waiting for IO. What matters is that once a task is ready to run, the code that needs to run is as lean as you'd like.

This means you can handle more requests with less hardware.

I have no idea how we reached a time when people think it's a good idea to download over 100MB worth of dependencies just to have a service that can handle a HTTP request, and multicore computers packed to the rim with RAM just to be able to handle a few tens of HTTP requests per second.

Why is "doctor shopping" in any way related to admission to the Gifted track? For everyone unfamiliar with the unique peculiarities of the US setup on GATE (Gifted-and-Talented Education). Are you referring to doctor-shopping for ADHD or autism diagnoses, esp. in 4-7-year-olds, as is rampant in the US? Or something else? And how numerically does that influence GATE admission rates? (In the past I've looked for (aggregate) statistics on autism/ADHD diagnoses influencing SAT scores or college admission rates, but the industry increasingly invokes "healthcare privacy" to hide even reporting anonymized aggregate statistics, per-zipcode/per-school/per-college). I believe the record is held by one zipcode in Connecticut where 18% of schoolchildren have autism diagnoses.

> Funding education... would be much more equitable...

Again the US setup is peculiar: most (public) school funding comes from local (school-district) and state level, with a tiny amound of federal funding. Hence zipcodes are a strong proxy for much of this.

I pony up for good lenses at LensCrafters as I need the correction as well as up close: progressives, anti-glare and the lightest lens material that they sell. I also try for a light frame and have found that round glasses “progress” well and cover my central field of vision. Also, computer glasses (inverse bifocals as it were) were quite disorienting for me but coworkers like them. A buddy could not deal with progressives so he did old style trifocals. We’re computer people so style is not the main concern…

Working on a laptop actually helps as it makes me look down while maintaining proper posture which is where the up close magnification lives. The big desktop monitor finds me learning my head back at times or working at the top. And I need the room brighter for the added depth of field from a constricted pupil.

> The study: Leif Nelson, in collaboration with Tom Meyvis of New York University’s Stern School and Jeff Galak of Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School, showed subjects three kinds of TV shows: Taxi episodes, nature documentaries, and Bollywood programs. Some watched the shows with commercials, some without. Subjects who watched TV with commercials reported greater enjoyment—and were willing to pay more for DVD collections of shows by the same director—than subjects who watched without interruptions.

Maybe the show is good enough that people want to watch it without interruptions but the show is not good enough that people who have watched it would pay to rewatch ?

This is supported by MinIO, but not "as a service." Essentially you run MinIO everywhere (AWS, GCP, Azure, IBM, on-prem, OpenShift, Tanzu etc). In the public clouds you can either roll your own or use the marketplace offerings.

In effect, you are choosing MinIO object storage over the "stock" object storage (which is incompatible with the other clouds).

You can use MinIO's ILM policies to replicate, tier, etc.

You still pay for compute, network + drive but then pay MinIO vs. S3/Blob. There will be no egress fees.

While sentiment against Rushdie had probably cooled off in the years since The Satanic Verses, you only have to be caught off-guard once. And after the decades, I'm more surprised Rushdie hasn't been attacked sooner. The combination of caution and just plain luck required to avoid any major incident for 34 years is impressive.

Hope it's not too serious.

I can still read off a screen without glasses, but occasionally need to turn to reading glasses when reading print material if the print size is small enough, or if the light in the room isn't just right. In those cases, I use 1.25x magnification glasses of the brand they sell at Barnes & Noble. I forget the actual brand name, and I don't have my glasses handy to look right this second.

They're not super expensive, or super-cheap, but seem to work well enough. And I haven't had any issues with breaking them or anything.

EDIT: The brand is "Foster Grant".

The problem is meritocracy. The only reason this is a charged political issue is that we have a system where money and power flow to the "best and brightest". This is a bad way to organize a society (smart people aren't actually better at running things) and has the side effect of putting a ton of pressure on the education system.

The solution is less meritocracy, more democracy.

The problem is many people don't want to admit that the privileges of wealth and status don't just create bias, but they actually make better students. So you'll never have equality of outcome--never.

Sure some bribery and networking occur. But they also send their kids to tutors, set high expectations, don't let them watch too much TV/tablet, have better diets, etc.

Nothing about gifted programs requires that non-gifted classrooms need to be underfunded.
I really love Supabase -- so much so that I'm wondering if I can just take all their ideas, open-source contributions, and self-deployment guides -- and then just create a company to compete directly against them. Would that in fact be good for Supabase by forcing them to up their game (assuming I'm competent)? Is that what the magic of building a company with code in the open is?

Would it be any different if you used a different tool and/or programmed everything manually?

In my experience, it would be 50x worse because Excel handles for you a lot of things that are extremely time consuming to code manually. (eg. error handling)
If a system is not resilient against rooting a terminal which is in user's physical possession, it's a design flaw. Or, rather, the more resilient the system as a whole is to compromises of individual terminals, the better the design is. Assuming such compromise never happens would be outright incompetent.
this right here, is the crux of the argument
Microsoft and Sony appear to have solved it for their gaming consoles. Satellite TV providers definitely solved it by now after learning from their mistakes.

All in all there are plenty of devices in the world that are protected against physical access, so if Starlink tried doing that and failed, then that's definitely through an exploited vulnerability.
Because OP used a trigger word and HN instinctually downvotes that word instead of taking the more charitable action of benevolently and accurately interpreting OP as having meant “cultural bias.”

Those seem like extreme positions. Reality is more like this:

2) Most people don't need to write large distributed system, but they will end up writing small distributed systems.

3) Small distributed systems can be surprisingly complicated.

It would in the same sense as illegally attaching a wire to the power cables and drawing electricity out of them does. You're stealing a limited resource (in this case radio bandwidth in an region for which you haven't purchased it, in the analogy power), but you're not doing so any more than a legitimate user would be assuming it's done "properly".

If too many people do this, things stop working, because you exhaust the limited resource.

>White students accounted for 58% of enrollment in gifted programs, although they made up 22% of enrollment in the nation’s public school system, according to nationwide data for the 2017-2018 school year collected by the Department of Education.

Is it true that only 22% of public school students are white? The population of the us in 61% white, so this shocked me.

Yeah I think the identification of "gifted" children is pretty imprecise and error prone.

Also it's unclear the kids doing well (better than everyone else, I imagine) are the ones who'd most benefit from special treatment, versus the struggling kids.
> It's the same argument people make for banning guns in the US.

To be fair, I think most are arguing to restrict guns rather than ban. I’m not saying you did this, but many people deliberately distort that into “they wanna take all your guns” in bad faith.
> smart people aren't actually better at running things

Could you expand on this? It seems almost to fly in the face of the very definition of "smart"
I am not sure this argument is made in good faith. Governments and government bureaucracy have enormous power over an ordinary citizen - part of the reason why there is rampant corruption in India (in the govt sector) is because people don't fight back. For example, paying the bribe is way cheaper and faster than fighting back, in terms of energy/time/money. Same way, we let all kinds of nasty behavior from government slide because we are in a hurry (totally understandable).

The only benefit anyone gets is a small smug feeling that for once things went right.

I can't understand why you are upset at this man for keeping up the case for so long and not at Indian Railways for the same? All Indian railways had to do was say sorry and refund 20 bucks. The fact that they kept fighting him for a measly 20 rupees for over two decades tells you everything you need to know about what they think of the ordinary citizen. This attitude is not unique to Indian railways or to India, btw.

Moderate viewpoints don't get upvotes.
Okay so you’re saying NFTs are absolutely meaningless, what the holder solely owns is a 256 bit integer and absolutely nothing else?

Anyway, in this case unlike debatably with nfts, there is concrete value tied to possessing knowledge of the integer so acting like it’s just sharing random numbers is deceptive and rather easily detected deception. resorting to deceptive arguments generally makes people turn against the position of the one trying to deceive so if advocating for tornado devs, one should avoid that argument unless one is actually trying to make people against them.
GATE saved me when I moved to the US in 3rd grade.

I remember getting marked wrong on “3-4=-1” because the class hadn’t learned about negative numbers so the “correct” answer was “you can’t do that”. Or my “which statements are true” answer getting marked wrong for being in the wrong order. I came from using electric saws and hot glue guns at age 5 to not being able to use a paper cutter until age 14.

GATE would take us out of regular class for an hour a day. The school was on a rotating schedule, so each day we’d miss something different. It didn’t matter. I was reading a sci fi or fantasy book under my desk anyway. We’d still ace any tests.

GATE wasn’t just accelerated school topics. We’d solve fake court cases (the upside down horse shoe is the one that stuck with me), create and draw 3d block structures on isometric paper (learning about optical illusions), sudoku, circle threading, logic puzzles, etc.

It wasn’t just the activities, it was putting me with other people that also wanted to do them. It taught me that learning is fun. I realize that mixed-ability grouping is beneficial, but it’s also a huge burden to have to constantly bear. Getting out of that dynamic for an hour gave me so much motivation—way more than skipping a grade of math ever did.

Then middle school came along and ruined it. It became an after-school class that thought of big homework projects to give us and we collectively said “fuck that”.
This is probably rude, but maybe people who are happy to sit through commercials are more capable of enjoying the extremely middling (I'm being generous here) quality of most TV?

So people who dislike commercials also dislike the kind of shows that are on TV and thus aren't willing to watch more or pay for more.

To me it means that wealth and power flows to best person for the job. This creates incentive for people to do what they are best at (in Pareto efficient sense). Governments job is to ensure fair play and a minimum quality of life for all

I doubt they’re arguing in good faith.

There is an argument to be made that we should improve education and bring more people up to speed (e.g. a lot of top10% of high schoolers can learn integration but it required a once-in-10-generations genius to figure it out for the first time).

But even the most fervent blank slaters should recognise that people have different interests, and come from different educational backgrounds.

The only reason to support equality of outcome is to repress high-performers.
