Bias in moderation is wrong, it's clear cut. If Dan can't be unbiased, allegedly, I thank him for his work on HN but he should step down.

how about all the other Hamas leaders that are in Qatar and Turkey?

->Israel nearly eradicating a population of 2 million people

if all 2m of Gaza population were dead this war would be over but I guess all that aid for 2m people for the remaining 100k is to just to fatten them up right?

The Zionist idea was to create a state where Jews could make their own destiny, which in part is to have a place where every jew can come with the rising antisemitism and pogroms as they could no loner be a people without a state. The Holocaust was one of the catalyst that a safe place for jews must be established i.e. no one will protect us but us. A prime example is the expulsion of Jews ,pogroms being a 2nd class citizen in Arab countries.

It's not surprising at all, should the Jews in the west just go about their lives with classic Christen, revived Marxism and newly imported Islamic antisemitism? These western government do nothing to counter it beside saying they condemn that, which means nothing.

Continued Invasions of neighboring countries?? Your bias is showing, every action of Israel is in response to aggression and terrorism by Israel's neighbors. Don't want to get invaded and bombed to hell? Shouldn't have fired thousands of missiles, rape, behead, mutilate, kidnap, harbor terrorists, dung terror tunnels, blocked trade blew up buses, restaurants and coffee shops. These "neighbors" of Israel always like to cry that Israel is the aggressor but it's always reflection.

While it doesn't seems so today, that's the premise of the State of Israel after the Holocaust. He may still be able to say he is Jewish or even deny that he is religious today the trend in the west is the same as in the 1930's. You see it in the UK, France, the US and even in Germany. It doesn't matter what these governments say today. They don't fight or even deny anti-semitism either from the radical right or the marxist and Islamo-left. The protests under the mask of anti-Israel are just these ideas peeking into the surface.

When his business gets boycotted, burned and stolen, when he won't be able to run for office or hold a government position, when his house gets marked and his kids won't be able to go to school the only safe place in that regard will be Israel.

Israel is meant to be a "safe" space for jews, and the Law of Return will allow you and your decedents to move to Israel when the anti-jewish takes power and you will not feel/be safe in your current location. Maybe you won't think it's so trivial then...

We can draw the line when they report proven false information and never apologize for reporting so.

We can draw the line when they say one thing on English Al Jazeera and another on Arabic Al Jazeera.

We can draw the line when their reporters were (since then eliminated) active member of Hamas rocket teams.

Where did you come up with "Israel clearly wants to destroy Iran"? Did you forget that before the Iranian Islamic revolution they were best buddies? You might say that Israel wants to see the Iranian dictatorship fall (and that's only because of their action against Israel, Israel couldn't care less what they do in house to their own people) but it's a far cry from wiping Iran unlike Iran stance to kill all the jews in Israel (and beyond).

Iran would have bombed Israeli embassies if they could (not like they don't try), they don't need an excuses because they already did that to Israel AND the USA (or did you forget about that too).

"they are the only people that are actively and openly wiping out another group" - Sure, they cried genocide for 75 years about since then they more than doubled, worst genocide ever. Unlike the 500k dead Syrians or the 250k killed in Yemen and that's just in the last 10 years or all current African conflicts, but when its not Jews it's not interesting right?

I'm not here to support or defend the occupation but from a security stand point yes it was/is necessary if you look at the region/border geographically from a military defensive stand point, you can just look at all the previous wars/clashes/terror attacks from that region pre 67. Reminder that the PLO (the good, "peaceful" terror group) was founded in 1964.

30k people, a number made up by and inflated by a terrorist run organization, very reliable[1] (they even admit its based on social media posts), in that case take into account the 10k dead combatants. 2:1 ration is one of the lowest if not the lowest in urban combat in recent memory just look what it took to wipe Isis in Mosul but I bet you didn't cry genocide then right?

If you mean the "embassy" building it's not Iranian territory. They are not defined as such, it's false information from movies and did you forget the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Argentina? They sure didn't have an issue then.

If you mean assassinations of nuclear scientists in Iran then sure you are correct but then what do you expect when Iran's leaders again and again say they are going to wipe Israel off the map?

"How is that better than arming Israel's opponents?" - Got me there buddy, how is it better than targeting military targets who fund and direct terror vs aiming blindly 100k rockets into population centers.. gee they are so equivalent

When all your neighbors wants to murder you and throw you to the sea you tend to be a bit overly defensive, why is it any different than the US/Russia/China nuclear arsenal as a deterrent?

The only one stirring up a regional war is Iran, arming terrorist groups around Israel as a proxy war. The fact they can act with impunity is a stain on the west just like the war in Ukraine that still rages on. This might not have been a bin laden level assassination but it was not that far and any other country that faces the same threat would do the same.

I did something similar when I worked on an internal timeseries DB with optimization for long term and short term storage.

The EFS thing is a bit tricky. Once your credits are done it's super slow, so I bet they do provisioned but that's expensive.

The other thing was that multiple instances trying to reach the same EFS endpoint at the same time ,for the first time, will fail so you need to stagger it or retry and the docker mount plugin was a bit iffy.

That said cool concept.

This shouldn't be surprising at all. Harvard and other American universities have taken "donations" from foreign countries for years to hire the "correct" professors to push agendas (and raise the next generation of leaders), just look at the amount money flowing from Qatar for example.

Why taking bribes from tech giants is any different?

Veritas indeed.

it's just a way to wishy-washy other people opinions because they disagree with what they have to say. I personally don't like these kind of discussions in HN, most are personal opinions and rarely backed up by statistics or official sources.

This is honestly pretty bad. You either wait a month (or more) for the OS security update, if you are lucky enough that your device is supported.

Or the app could bundle the library, they can push updates faster but then again they could just use an old version and never update like most 3rd party dependencies these days.

https://www.eyecontrol.co.il/ was founded exactly to solve this problem

As far as I remember it was presented as a drive and was good for sequential read but you had to use AMD's API to get the full benefit

AMD Radeon Pro SSG had 4 nvme slots on the card itself but that was 2017 but with direct storage API that might be able to have some gains for large models.

I don't think it's a fair comparison because a rocket hit could be much more expensive in direct and collateral damage than 50k

I have 18 years of experience as a developer, architect and tech lead. I'm a generalist. I've done backend, frontend, ML, devops and security among others. My mantra is to use the right tool for the job and I'm more than willing to learn new languages and tools. My last position was the CTO (70% hands-on) for a start-up in the DSaaS space. I'm looking for a Software architect position or similar but I'm open to other opportunities.

While I always love to see these kind of storage optimization I find the lack of metrics disappointing. Some metrics for cost saving vs query time increase would be nice (taking into account query time range and partitioning time range i.e. number of files).

From a technical stand point when looking at S3 there is a minimum request first-byte time of 200ms and if you have multiple files to query on top of the list requests for the files in a bucket paths it can add up (you can save file/index metadata data in cache to help with this).

if the query is run once a day and isn't very latency sensitive I guess it doesn't matter but some solution that looks on the query data patterns and pre-loads data from s3 to hot/local cache storage or saves the file locally on the node for a period of time would surly help.

One scenario for this is ML models refresh of time series data where you might want to add new data with historical data and create a new model (even if it's incremental you'd still want to do regression testing with historical data). Of course there are code optimizations for these without the need of the DB to the the heavy lifting but that's just one thing that comes to mind.

"We used Apache Cassandra nodes on each of the servers that were compatible with AWS S3". What does this even mean?

Regardless, starting a new Cassandra cluster in late 2022?! I bet they can save even more by just going with scylladb

Forgot my password doesn't work nor the settings screen password change. If you gonna ask all your users to reset passwords you might want to actually scale up to allow them to do that

It's an optional opt-in and the rewards are pretty good. Some places don't even allow you to install solar because planning a national grid power demand is not easy and solar generation needs to be taken into account and it depends on a lot of factors, it's a solvable problem for sure but these companies aren't known for their technological innovations..

You also don't want your power provider to build expensive peaker plants for the occasional peak demands. Programs like these and other DER programs help flatten out the curve and lower yours and everyone else's bill.

Cassandra is written in Java and while there are a lot of tricks to optimize it there are limits.

While C++ does have an advantage of raw performance it's ScyllaDB's seastar implementation that helps a lot. Think of every core in the machine as a node so there is no context switching and better use of the cpu cache. More than that the ScyllaDB team are extremely performance focused something that I can't say for Cassandra

Doesn't streaming affect the node network? Isn't that an issue or do you have a dedicated NIC for intra node communications? or do you just limit the streaming bandwidth?

Thanks.

I think the parent comment was saying that Google cloud is for hobbyist because no one in their right mind will build a business that depends on Google cloud offerings.

Thanks for the info that's exactly what I thought the recovery process should be. Node failure isn't bad until it's a cascading catastrophe :)

But by bad I meant when a Node is based on local disks, that Cassandra and ScyllaDB usually recommends.

Depending on the time between snapshots and the restore from snapshot process (if there are even snapshots...) can be problematic.

Bootstrapping nodes from zero depending on the cluster size (Big data nodes while not recommended are pretty common) could take days in Cassandra because the streaming implements was (maybe still is?) very bad

that's always a risk when using local drives and needing to rebuild when a node dies but I guess they can over provision in case of one node failure in cluster until the cache is warmed up

Edit: Just wanted to add that because they are using Persistent Disks as the source of truth and depending on the network bandwidth it might not be that big of a problem to restore a node to a working state if it's using a quorum for reads and RP >= 3.

Resorting a Node from zero in case of disk failure will always be bad.

They could also have another caching layer on top of the cluster to further mitigated the latency issue until the nodes gets back to health and finishes all the hinted handoffs.

I don't think so. These are just workstations. It's not like they have a a rack full of 4u servers with RTX3900s and even then it's for their own usage.

The RTX datacenter restriction as far as read, but not a lawyer, is for data center providers like aws, ovh, hetzner etc to provide servers with these gpu and rent them.
