The dominant term in the type of scenario you're describing is contention, not mutexes. I forget how big they're making Zen3 EPYCs right now, I think you can get like 64-128 physical cores. I can walk all over 128 different mutexes on each of those 128 cores for less than the cost of an L3 hit on that same EPYC box [1].

If I fuck up the affinity and they're all banging on one data structure? Yeah, it can jam the whole machine. This is why people who write good logging libraries are always playing games with buffering in thread-local storage and stuff. And sometimes you do need a bunch of producer threads dumping into a queue that simply can't be striped by anything (it's somewhat rare but it happens): in which case you want `folly::MPMCQueue` (or whatever Intel TBB calls their version of that) which Nathan Bronson was kind enough to get right so that other people don't have to end up with something both slow and wrong.

A truly novel lock-free data structure that advances the SOTA in production software is a masters thesis, not a blog post.

I think it depends upon what US State the teachers are in.

Some states, if a teacher says some phrases they could, get fined, loose their job or maybe in rare cases face jail time. This may even spread across the Teacher's life style. Not to mention in many places the pay is not worth it.

Forgot to mention, some states also require a Masters Degree even to teach very young children, the expense of getting that degree is not worth it.
This sounds plausible, because it's a story we hear all over the world, again and again. I'm guessing David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" has been discussed a few times on Hacker News?
>> If Google has any care for their users, they'd do that for every people they wrongly reported that had their names cleared. Instead, Google doubled down, continued to treat their victims as criminals in their statement, and even leaked details about intimate photos in a blatant attempt to discredit the users they wronged.

Google's users are advertisers. Ordinary people are data sources and ad viewers. Android phones and Chrome are for collecting data about people and showing them ads.

Google doesn't care about losing two data sources and ad viewers.

Thank you for making your framing clear with examples, and your POV with "code commit history is the line?"
You're joking to some extent, but what I ended up doing is not too far off. I got so fed up with all the graded, nitpicky and laborious online tests, that I automated them. An entire browser extension to collect the entire question bank and then statistically figure out all the answers (because often I only had the final score).
I was skeptical of copilot, but since trying it for two months, I'm really impressed. It's a smarter auto complete. For $10/month it pays for itself in one day.

You have to be careful with the output it produces, as it often looks sensible but is wrong. Especially if it contains numeric constants. But on the whole it speeds things up, the same way good code auto complete does.
The problem is finding them. If a layman looks for a cloud back up provider that isn't one of the BigTech group - uses Duck Duck Go and finds a small company offering 10GB back up for free. Unfortunately for them, that service is using AWS for storage, so ultimately despite they're best effort they're just using amazon cloud storage.

People do want to teach and get paid to do it. It’s called private schools. They charge what the market will bear for their quality and location, and they pay what the market rate is for teachers of the requisite quality that let them charge the rates they need.

What confuddles people in education is the same thing that causes endless articles about housing, healthcare, inflation… it’s called “basic economics”. Just because education is heavily regulated by the government and full of people ideologically predisposed to pretending economic rules don’t apply, doesn’t mean supply and demand is false and the normal rules of gravity are suspended.

I myself have children and live in Boston, Massachusetts. The per-student funding here is $25,000 per year. Yet excluding a few meritocratic public schools that you have to test into (which they are making ever harder for my Asian children to get into as they reduce the seats allocated to tests and give away to “underprivileged” races, aka not Asians or whites) the schools are dog shit and anyone with a few bucks avoids them like the plague. So money is not the problem in Boston, it’s the horrible nature of the public school system.
I'd argue $13K per student is quite low relative to the services expected. I mean, compare that to the price of college tuition.

Now, college is too expensive and I certainly wouldn't want to replicate that problem in K-12 schools. But... well, in some ways colleges have it easier, because the students are older and can be expected to be more independent. You can't have a 100-person lecture in a K-12 setting (not that I love classes like that at the college level either).
What are the ways to mitigate these issues for someone that wants a lot of the features of Google Photos? It seems that Amazon Photos is basically copying Google Photos and has a lot of the features. I wouldn't care if my Amazon account was closed down. And it is free if you are already a Prime member.

That's a great thing happening. No one knows how to teach anyway anyhow. It's a lost art, a forgotten knowledge, which have given way to formatting, somewhere in the last Century. Preparing young souls for Life: _teaching_ is very different from telling people how to do things and stuff: _formatting_.

We are forced to go full circle now. Throwing out garbage, as we can't keep up. That's a good thing.
I agree with this. I don't mind paying a fair price, but I need to know what the price is before I invest any time bothering.
I’m amused because it’s a microcosm of the actual problem: it’s probably the default response to anything that has to do with child sexual abuse material, given without thought to context or circumstances, with too little review. But hey, I guess it’s Google’s official position that this dad is a child pornographer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe a stack of nice books!? Preferably about broader topics than just CS/math. Maybe throw in some history, philosophy, etc?

If you can afford to, maybe buy some nice oil paintings to hang there. Could be very inspiring.
And yet, we are still not "there" yet, I think.
It's when you're not on any list, that you become suspicious.

By what standard is that actually "plenty"? Is that $13185 enough to properly fund all the services a child needs for a proper education? And if it's not, why not? How much do you believe we should be spending per student?

You can point at a big number and say 'that's enough' but we spend large amounts of money on all sorts of things, the number being large doesn't mean it's sufficient. There are tons of children in need of an education out there and they're frequently crammed into overcrowded schools in buildings badly needing maintenance, while teachers have to buy supplies out of pocket. Maybe the answer is that all that money is being siphoned away and we would be fine if we redistributed it correctly, but the premise that we're already investing enough seems pretty questionable to me without proof.
I haven’t try it yet but I hope it works
I realize this piece is more of a rant, and I won't hold it to a data accuracy standard it never pretended to have, but they pay issue is really misconstrued. Salaries in large urban districts are often well above area median, and when accounting for benefits and pension, quite impressive. In South Dakota and a number of states in the south and rural districts, yes it is another story, and it is bad. Also, teachers NEVER want to discuss pay differentials by anything but years of service. I'm sorry, but most qualified high school physics teachers have way differently valued skillsets in the labor force by alternate employers than most kindergarten teachers.
Didn't Google pull the plug on robotics?
The UK has been spending less on healthcare as a percentage of GDP than comparable European countries, Germany and France.

I agree more money doesn't solve the issue, especially as so much money was wasted on Covid testing and private beds that were never used.

However in my lifetime the difference in healthcare spending between New Labour and Conservative has been noticeable.

I am willing, but the odds actually doing so are low (busy and disorganized).
there is a way of expressing respect in market economies, it's called money.
Millions of people pay for lots of stuff that they don't particularly enjoy all that much, just out of habit. And lots of people talk about how TV was better in the past.
Paying more will solve the appreciation problem.

My wife is (ex)teacher. Parents would flat-out say that they can't respect her because of her salary. Along the lines of, if you're smart and can do stuff, why the hell are you working for such a low pay? Ergo teachers are dumb and parents (along with their kids) feel free to make fun of dumbasses who work in schools.

On top of that, paying more would help with self-respect. It's damn hard to be an authority to kids when you live paycheck-to-paycheck. Especially in teens' world where appearance matters a lot.
mailto:links for most people just open up some associated email client which they never used before and which isn’t associated with their email account (which they check via a web page like gmail).

So mailto: is a non starter. A standard that just doesn’t do what a developer might think it does.
Or any company, or groups of companies. The entreprise is a necessary evil, it should be treated as such and not be tristed with anything.
While I don’t necessarily disagree with many of her points, the overly dramatic and staccato style made this irritating to read. She succeeded in having me walk away from the article frustrated, not with the problem, but with her article.
That doesn't really sound like fascism. Closer to feudalism than anything else.
If the types of photos you mention were getting flagged as per the case in the article, we would be hearing about a lot more cases. The case itself involved a medical photo, not smiling children at the beach. As such the denominator you use isn’t relevant here.

There is a lot of child pornography in image sharing platforms. Facebook, which reports most reliably, had 20 million CSAM reports in 2021, and that’s photos posted to a social network or sent via messenger, not even in private albums. As I understand it CSAM is more focused on reporting re-uploads or transmission of known abuse material, rather than new material. So I still maintain that if we take the type of image referenced in the article as the denominator, vastly more of such photos would be child abuse material. Granted, 1:100000 is too high, I would revise that down to 1:1000.
Solution for what? Many things are centralized, and that's okay.
Two wrongs do not make a right. I’d wager the people upset about the Tories are not by and large enamoured with Tony Blair’s New Labour either.
Show HN: Place to support and validate early startup ideas
I made this for people like myself who keep a list of ideas for apps / startups.

I also made it for people who are curious to see what projects others have "in their drawer"... and who may want to have a say in which idea should see the light of day.

https://ideas.dynamate.io/

The site allows creators to anonymously showcase their idea:

Title. Description text. Maybe some mockups...

I've tried to make it so that it's quick and easy to just dump an idea in there that's been sitting on some list of yours for months - and hopefully get some feedback on it.

If someone else on the site sees your idea and likes it, they have various choices of showing support:

They can upvote.

They can subscribe to progress updates.

They can tell you why they want it (there's a questionaire that is loosely based on "The Mom Test").

And they can even send you money as encouragement.

As the owner of an idea, you can see how many unique upvotes, subscriptions, etc. your idea has received. You get a nice table of all the ideas you have on the site, sorted by feedback score. Also, in the case of non-anonymous subscriptions or donations, you can get in touch with early supporters.

Publicly, though, neither upvotes nor any other form of support for an idea are shown. This is so you cannot go to the site and just grab the most popular ideas from there. And also so that each idea can get the same amount of exposure and attention.

There are many great books out there on validating startup ideas. And my site won't be a replacement for those. Rather, it's designed as a low hanging fruit to get your idea out there.

I hope some of you find it useful. Feel free to test it out on the ideas I've posted on there. And perhaps share some of your own!

Also curious to hear your feedback both on the idea itself and the execution so far.

The site is still early beta. Please let me know if you run into any bugs. Also, and ideas how I can make it better would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Fine, compare it to portion of GDP. Like healthcare, we spend a lot and get poor return if you measure objectively by things like standardized tests, unemployment, imprisonment, etc.
What does "underfunded" mean?

The UK has a similar system to Canada. Costs are controlled by controlling the funding. You set a cap to what you'll spend and let the system figure out how best to allocate those funds. It's a big reason why the cost per capita for healthcare is quite low - you simply choose not to spend more.

The demand for healthcare spending is almost infinite. You can set it up so everyone get an MRI the same day the doctor orders it. If you cut back and it takes a week for a non-urgent MRI is that a "proper" level of funding? How about waiting one month? Two months?

The truth is, a country needs to decide how much money they are willing to spend on healthcare. Some spend very little, some spend a lot. There is no "fully funded" system, only trade offs.
It is beyond me that someone would use email to submit sensitive information. Pandemic aside, you should know better.

Also, I am sorry this happened. It is very human to respond to a person in authority - but we need to be better and start asking questions. It is our privacy at stake.

Hopefully everyone learns from this; Also, Google was doing the right things.

I think one issue, at least from an online experience, is that a multi weighted view just means that you get yelled at by everyone as people seem to look for points of view they don’t like and engage with them from that angle. They will often entirely miss what you agree on, or worse assume any common ground was some ruse to slowly introduce more extreme points of view.

With magic links it happens every single login. Confirmation email only needs to be done once per email. I thought this was obvious?

And most websites don’t require confirmation email to log in, they require it to unlock certain features.
The sentiment is noble, but that's not really true.
Is that not accurate? There’s only so many hours in the day, and I have to split them between competing priorities.

If I don’t have time for something, I don’t have the remaining hours to spend on it, given the time I’ll spend doing other things.
Is there a mathematical way to deduce that its underfunded. I am wondering how we can tell the difference between poor management vs underfunding.
It's not much better in many parts of europe... :(
> Demoralization is what happens when you spend years becoming an expert in a subject area, and nobody cares. They’d rather hire another MBA to make all the important decisions, while they stick us on committees writing reports for ghosts. That’s when teachers start to withdraw from their jobs, when we realize it doesn’t matter what we think, and it definitely doesn’t matter how amazing we are at what we do.

This was really well put, and applies to any profession, not just teaching. Consider software security experts, who know all the ins and outs of making systems secure. They advise, the offer guidance and best practices on very complex material.

And yet at the end of the day all that work gets thrown out by some PM’s that think it only adds complexity, or worse yet users simply don’t use the more secure features of an application.
nobody can afford to teach anymore.

That said, I couldn’t have installed solar on my home, built a deck, replumbed my house, etc. without Youtube.
>> decimate the health system and waste money on sending Refugees to Rwanda. It’s idiotic to prioritise that over the NHS.

It all depends how you view the world. For many people, preserving the historical character and demographic of their country is an important issue. It might not be to you, you might consider it stupid, but it is a concern many people have. So much so, they would see illegal arrivals of non historical descent as a more acute problem. One to be prioritised over what can be argued to be improvements to the existing system.

I myself am one of these people. It is more important to me immigrants be sent to Rwanda than offering additional funding or reforming the NHS.

If my interaction with other people sharing your beliefs ( or more accurate my assumptions about your beliefs ), you believe me to be evil. I do not believe I am and I do not believe you, who think the opposite of me to be evil. I believe you are misguided though and wrong in what your priorities are.

That's not what GP said.

Studying art means contextualising the art, understanding how it came about, what kind of discourse it was part of, what role it used to play and continues to play, by which means certain effects are achieved, what it tells us about the time it was written in, what it tells us about the artist, how art was and is consumed, and so on.

All of this goes way beyond "loving to read".
These days doctors seem to spend more time doing paperwork than actually working.
Most people hate lawyers, but plenty of people still want to be one.
The historic squeeze in NHS funding has shown up in all sorts of metrics: most notably waiting list times - which have exploded over the last decade. Health prioritisation means the doctors can try to reduce the immediate deaths - the major costs being pushed into pain and suffering of people waiting for operations (but not dying, or being rushed in if they go downhill). All of this just kicks the can, and left the NHS at breaking point - ready for covid to break it.

On bureaucracy - a health service requires administration, so any health funding can be described as "more money for a bureaucracy". The evidence shows that I direct public service like the NHS - concentrating on building hospitals, hiring doctors and nurses and making people well - involves somewhat less administrative costs than using an indirect insurance system (like most European countries, Canada etc) and much less than the dysfunctional private system in America https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2013.1327
Thanks to a certain person named "Sam" in Florida I know that the following companies do not do email verification (and do not have an automated way to fix it with a "I did not sign up with this address" link):

and many many more.

Great point. The `libstdc++` ABI is very low on my list of favorite things. Who doesn't love spilling cache lines because of 1990s layouts and taking L3 misses for `auto s = std::string{"hello world"};` because modern SSO breaks that ABI and... /s
Mass inoculation with a new type of vaccine that behaved very differently than the science hypothesized is also a very simple explanation.

I don't really think anyone here has the ability or expertise to judge which is more fitting.

For what it's worth, the fact circulatory issues is mentioned in the article should ring alarm bells for COVID vaccines being a potential cause.

We just found out recently the prevalence of myocarditis among teenage boys that get the vaccine is extremely high compared to what was expected.
What's this exonerated?

They didn't do anything. Investigation/State scrutiny shouldn't be considered an act of guilt that requires a vouchsafing.
There's an unspoken benefit of private schools though: kids of teachers get to attend for free or at a hugely discounted rate. When I was at one, just about every teacher left after their kids graduated. The ones who stayed either had some nice admin role, or their spouse was the main breadwinner.
Maybe I'm just a nerd, but this bit:

Once you get past the front line, things get pretty specialist and a general move to Telemedicine is probably a good thing, and is presumably happening all around the world for all sorts of reasons. People even do telesurgery now.

Github Copilot won't give students anything they couldn't already google.

It seems to be a natural part of aging, to start to complain about education and kids these days because it's not the same as when we were in school.

I try not to do that, because I never forgot how my parents generation said the exact same about us when we were in school, and I guarantee my grandparents generation complained when my parents were in school.

Currently turnover is high for many jobs with great working conditions, so it shouldn't be news that people don't want a stressful job with relatively mediocre pay.

I don't have the data to back it up, but I would expect a few European countries to be the only exception, and only those that have moved on from older educational models.
