In most cases, vendors like Datadog may still manually say its service is still down, even if it's pretty much up and running just to make sure they don't speak too soon about being up and running again. But our tests can see that they are working even before the vendor is ready to announce they are functioning again. What a vendor reports generally isn't usually a real-time reflection of what's happening in their software. Updating the status page is like a press release about someone important recovering from an illness. We're like the medical equipment that monitors that person's health. The press has to take some time to make craft a message when they know the person is healthy and wait a moment to report to make sure the person doesn't relapse and they report health too soon. On the other hand, medical equipment is just there to measure health and it can show that way sooner than the press release.
In other cases, Metrist mostly monitors essential functions right now and in the demo we monitor them from our point of view. So a minor part we don't monitor could be down but the major parts we do monitor are up. And so a status page may report certain part of the service as down while we just don't monitor that part. Further, since users experience outages differently and the demo is from our experience with the software, other users could be experiencing an outage while we aren't. So it's important for Metrist users to set up personalized monitoring so they know exactly how an outage is affecting them.
Funding in Fintech, a Female Perspective
Four states have already switched over to a voucher system. I believe over a dozen more are expected to follow this year.

Public education in the US will be dead within the decade. A multi-state strike would just hasten it.
I wouldn't murder them. I wouldn't report them to the police because they likely wouldn't even come out. The flip side to that coin is that the police also won't come out to investigate a little rough play.

If I let the air out of someone's tires, I would absolutely be watching my back. I wouldn't expect a meek response.

Incidentally, in most of the US, some amount of non-lethal force is allowed in the defense of real or personal property.
Yes! A chance to geek out on economics!

A "monopoly" refers to supply side, when one supplier is (or practically is) the entire market supply.

But on the demand side, the term is "monopsony."

For example, the US Department of Defense is (probably) a monopsony for fighter pilots. The classic example is the company-owned coal town.

Another term to remember is "regulatory capture." This usually refers to a government's regulators having their incentives captured by those they are intended to regulate. However, the incentive structures are more or less equivalent if an union is captured by a monopsony employer.
Maybe this is splitting hairs over definitions, but I don't think getting lost in trains of thought (like OP) or the "quiet reflection" that you did is doing nothing.

When I think of doing nothing, I think of doing nothing. No catching up on thoughts we don't have time for, no chasing ideas, just nothing. It's really hard for a few minutes, let alone 30, let alone 24h!

Part of this is that I think of quiet reflection as healthy, if not necessary, and thus, it is something.

I think this is illustrative of a broader theme which is how enduring and baked in a lot of our climate degradation is. As much as the chlorine compounds will decay, but not exactly anytime soon. To think we won’t have an issue with this again before they’re decayed would be ridiculous.

It’s the same thing with the broader topic of global warming. Absolutely we should seek to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, that’s a no brainer. But at our current stage in developement, especially with some countries not exactly being team players in this fight, a lot of the increase and future increase in temperature is baked in (pardon the pun). As much as I’m all for mitigation, much like the wildfires themselves, we will already have plenty of consequences to come. That’s why I’m so excited to see focus shifting more towards mitigation and resilience. We need to be prepared for the inevitable we’ve caused.
> My rule of thumb is domain registrars only get to manage my domains. Registrars love to upsell you on email and hosting but in my experience that's where all the bullshit starts.

That’s the Unix philosophy applied to service providers.

The same logic applies to why you should have a separate cable modem and WiFi router.

> If you just buy a domain, you could go to place like GoDaddy and probably have a decent experience.

No GoDaddy sucks even as just a registrar because even configuring NS records to host your DNS elsewhere is a terrible UX.
> De-identification is a hard problem.

It's such a hard problem that it is not achievable except in very specific circumstances, such as if the data is just a single single datapoint or if the data is aggregated with a lot of other data, and the original individual datapoints are deleted.

In practice, whenever you hear anyone claim they've "anonymized" or "de-identified" your data, if you assume that's not true, you're much more likely to be right than wrong.
Crawlers over ai would be nice indeed.
Just updated that as well. Now they're smaller
My school had non-Catholic pupils as well. After leaving I realized that a lot of what Catholic religious education is centered around is "acts of contrition". You're almost always guilty of something. They use these feelings of shame, guilt, and remorse to teach a lot of Catholic values alongside very strong language around things they don't like. For instance, when I was in school there was a story out of Atlanta, I think, where two gay men had their door kicked in while they were having sex, they were charged with some absurd sodomy law that was still on the books. My religious studies teachers point was that God punished all forms of sodomy, not just anal sex, and that any time you have pre-marital or sex without the intention of reproducing that you have sinned in a major way. I was 12, maybe 13 at the time. This is a small, isolated example but it's part of a pattern I recognized later in life. The stuff really does a number on you.

It is worth noting I attended Catholic school in the South, closer to the border, so the church reflected more Mexican practices in Catholicism than say one in New York. I've learned from some folks that where you're taught makes a drastic difference.
From the comments here, I was expecting to find myself hopelessly out of date, and to end up with a migraine trying to parse through a mindnumbing list of changes. Turned out I was mistaken.

> Me: oh, cool, they fixed so many tiny things I had bumped up against
> Some others: oh no, why are things changing

I'm not getting it. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but to me these seem pretty obvious small issues to smooth over.

That downward pressure is from outsourcing.

Unions can organize all they want. Politicians can raise the minimum wage all they want. Those things don't fix the main problem that the making-things-here jobs that support wage increases across the board are absent.

This is a bit lateral, but there is a parallel where Marvin Minsky will most likely be best remembered for dismissing neural networks (a 1 layer perceptron can't even handle an xor!). We are now sufficiently removed from his heyday where I can't really recall anything he did besides the book Perceptrons with Seymour Papert (who went on to do some very interesting work in education).
There is a chart out there about ML progress that makes a conjecture about how small the gap is between what we would consider that smartest and dumbest levels of human intelligence (in the grand scheme of information processing systems). It is a purely qualitative vibes sort of chart, but it is not unreasonable that even the smartest tenured professors at MIT might not be that much beyond the rest of us.

>As the other commenter replied, inner-city gang culture is a principal example that is destructive to so many children's futures.

Why do you think 'inner-city' gang culture develops?

>Even among groups that would be categorized together in the US, such as African-Americans, you can see a clear divided in outcomes between cultures; Nigerian-Americans, for example, have a higher average income than the US average, and nearly twice that of Somali-Americans.

What are the differences in immigration reason for these groups? I'm not familiar with Nigerian immigration, but Somalian immigration is driven by leaving strife and come as refugees. Is that the case for Nigerians?

You can't judge how successful a culture is just because of their income, you have to know where they started and what resources they have access to.

> Average incomes for black people who immigrated to the US is considerably higher than those native-born.

It makes sense to me that people who can afford and have the qualifications needed to emigrate to the US will have better job prospects than people living in generational poverty and enduring systemic racism.

> Abuse was ruled out in 35 cases. Seventy-four children were allegedly abused by other children and teenagers less than 18 years old. In 9 cases, an offender could not be identified. In the remaining 269 cases, two offenders were identified as being gay or lesbian. In 82% of cases (222/269), the alleged offender was a heterosexual partner of a close relative of the child. Using the data from our study, the 95% confidence limits, of the risk children would identify recognizably homosexual adults as the potential abuser, are from 0% to 3.1%. These limits are within current estimates of the prevalence of homosexuality in the general community.

Convictions are a bit of a different story.

> Using logit regression, it was found that homosexual abusers were 6.79 times more likely to be imprisoned than heterosexual abusers after adjusting for the combined effects of crime seriousness, prior record, and acceptance/denial of full responsibility for their actions.

edit: Your Reddit link demonstrates gay children are more likely to be victims, not perpetrators. LifeIssues.net is... pretty clearly biased.
The sacrament of confession is based on the idea that Catholics (and all but one human) will sin regularly, despite acknowledging that these sins are bad. It's not so much hypocrisy as it is realizing that you are imperfect people working to meet perfect ideals. So the situation you describe is not fundamentally dishonest.

That sounds a lot like C# which uses GC everywhere except for structs.

Having optional GC but integrated GC does lead to a schism in API libraries (see C#, D, etc.). From my experience it's hard to go no-GC in C# because a lot of libraries depend on GC.
Helping tech professionals find financial advisors

It sound like they’re hosting at the same place (gandi) where they registered the domain. This is absolutely never recommended, for security purposes. If someone gains access to your hosting account you’ll likely lose all your domain names.

Transfer the domains over to a better more secure registrar. Then set up a server or vps and set up as many mailboxes or emails that you need.
I think there are contextual reasons why drunken incidence response, despite being largely unavoidable (you cannot expect your subject matter experts never to consume alcohol) causes few problems.

However, I think one under-recognized problem is that there is a complacency that comes with being tired. And when I look at the really big incidence response disasters, that has always been a major factor.

And yet we celebrate people who put us at risk....

As far as I know, you can be an abstinent homosexual in the Roman Catholic belief. You just can't act on it. I would guess they do think their God is right and act accordingly.
It's not public insurance though. It's private insurance companies on a given state's exchange which may be pretty similar to what you have through an employer. The big thing with Obamacare is that you can now get private insurance even with pre-conditions. I'm not going to especially defend health insurance in the US but the idea that you can only get it through an employer is just not true.

There's also Medicaid if you're poor of course.

Show HN: Safe Data Changes in PostgreSQL
Hi HN, we're excited to share our open source tool with the community! We previously posted here with the tagline “real-time events for Postgres” [0]. But after feedback from early users and the community, we’ve shifted our focus to working on tooling for manual database changes.

We've consistently heard teams describe challenges with the way manual data updates are handled. Seemingly every engineer we spoke with had examples of errant queries that ended up causing significant harm in production environments (data loss/service interruptions).

We’ve seen a few different approaches to how changes to production databases occur today:

Option 1: all engineers have production write access (highest speed, highest risk)

Option 2: one or a few engineers have write access (medium speed, high risk)

Option 3: engineers request temporary access to make changes (low speed, medium risk)

Option 4: all updates are checked into version control and run manually or through CI/CD (low speed, low risk)

Option 5: no manual updates are made - all changes must go through an internal endpoint (lowest speed, lowest risk)

Our goal is to enable high speed changes with the lowest risk possible. We’re planning to do this by providing an open-source toolkit for safeguarding databases, including the following features:

- Alerts (available now): Receive notifications any time a manual change occurs

- Audit History (beta): View all historical manual changes with context

- Query Preview (coming soon): Preview affected rows and query plan prior to running changes

- Approval Flow (coming soon): Require query review before a change can be run

We’re starting with alerts. Teams can receive Slack notifications anytime an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE is executed from a non-application database user. While this doesn’t prevent issues from occurring, it does enable an initial level of traceability and understanding who made an update, what data was changed, and when it occurred.

We’d love to hear feedback from the HN community on how you’ve seen database changes handled, pain points you’ve experienced with data change processes, or generally any feedback on our thinking and approach.

And then how do you provide energy cheaply and reliably enough? That is in order to maintain today’s “civilizational level”, so to speak.

As far as I am aware the energy sources that are now branded as alternative cannot do that, i.e. provide energy that is both cheap and reliable.
Experimental deterministic correction of qubit loss (2020)
This is my own ignorance, but what determines the power carrying capacity of a wire besides melting from the resistance? Could you transmit a lot more wattage through that same line when superconducting?
So far my favorite expository example on this subject involves whether any kind of machine learning model trained on Tycho Brahe's astronomical observational data (late 16th century) would be able to extract the equations of Johannes Kepler (1609) from them. It would likely be able to make good predictions of where planets would be in the future, but that wouldn't be based on simple equations that were easy for humans to look at and understand.

(Those are: elliptic orbits, equal areas are swept in equal time by a line joining the orbiting bodies, and orbital periods (time) are proportional to the geometry of the ellipse (distance) by a square:cube ratio, and they're all more or less approximations in the solar system (which has many complicating interactions due to all the bodies involved).)

Someone commented that most humans wouldn't be capable of doing that either, which is true enough... Perhaps if the machine learning model was also trained on a large set of equations as well as on a large set of astronomical data?
> If people don't consider their personal footprint before taking purchase decisions, maybe they will take into consideration that they are being targeted by a growing group of people.

They will never do that. NEVER. It has become a perennial joke at this point in Germany with climate activists who block streets only to afterwards rack up 20k miles of air travel in half a year. The explanation? "The problem is systemic, individual actions don't matter".

Nobody considers their contribution relevant, because in total theirs will be dwarfed by everyone else's. That's just human nature. If the most-involved activists don't, how can you expect random people to?
I highly recommend The Juice Media YT channel and their caricatured series called "Honest Government Ads" [1]. They are covering climate change and, among others, Australian government incompetency in quite funny, provocative and slightly NSFW way.

How is this type of legislation not government restrictions in free speech? While I disagree with citizens United, it’s currently defining the law and most likely supported by these groups. This seems like a similar disallowed restriction.

I guess one difference is that they’re not explicitly banning the companies from those investments, they’re banning the state of Texas from doing business with the companies.
