My experience was pretty much the opposite, especially for timeseries data the sequential scan performance of Rethink was pretty bad, especially when you add filters, grouping etc. Postgres gives me about 3-10x the speed.

And that takes into consideration that Rethink uses all cores and Postgres only one.
Plus I used jsonb in Postgres to make it totally fair.

And on top I encountered really inconsistent performance. For example when you access a field of an object that doesn't exist, it apparently raises internally an exception and that slows things down a lot. But you don't really see this.

I get it that Rethink is trying to distinguish itself from the other players and find a nice niche for itself but I really wish they improved on the performance and while at it removed the limitation of 32 servers in a cluster.

Oh and the huge blow up of data on disk also needs a lot of work. Rethink used about 5x more disk space in my trials for a table with about 10 million rows. With fewer indexes than PG.

I really like the ops simplicity of Rethink, especially when it comes to clustering. So I have high hopes for it.
It varies by town. When I was younger bars were open until 4-5am on the weekends. Then the 2am rule was put in place for every night. Strip clubs stay open until 4am now, but you have to BYOB.

What this had done is turn the strip clubs into normalish clubs after 2 am since everywhere else is closed.
"For life" aka until the company lasts. The problem with these "for life" promises that it is hard to believe that they are going to be around longer than a year or so. If there was a big company behind such a project I would be more inclined to take it seriously.
The strange thing is in other [especially European] countries, these post-war "baby boomers" are falling apart at the seams and it's largely their parents' fault. All because of food.

Parents of baby-boomers lived through war. Food was rationed. Luxury food was seriously rationed. Many grew up without processed fats like butter, or even sugar.

The end rationing was a celebration and these parents wanted their children to have everything they couldn't. Sugar. Fats. The new-fangled convenience foods that came over with Americans post-WWII (operating bases, etc). As time went on this junk food just became even more affordable.

The result is a demographic that has just awesome levels of T2 diabetes, obesity and coronary issues, as well as all the problems that have been associated with these conditions (a fair amount of dementia).

In many cases, the parents who lived through the war are now caring for and outliving their children.
This isn't the first time I've read this idea of only allowing taxpayers to vote be floated by someone on the left.

There's been a weird number of things like this that I've seen bubbling up, like extreme anti-union rhetoric in regards the police. It's usually in reaction to a specific issue, but it's still weird to see.
Older people also don't want change simply because they're more stuck in their ways, and because they're afraid of change, afraid that it may risk whatever they have managed to build up during their life.

Science progresses one funeral at a time, that sort of thing.
I like this idea, but i'm not on iPhone either. Looked at some of the other stuff you've made. Feed Rehab is a great idea!
> This was the first thing I noticed as well. I mean, that's from an age where Java and C++ libraries, frameworks and build systems were nowhere near as advanced as today.

> Scheme has seen little investment in their infrastructure and ecosystem in the past 15 years, whereas C++ and Java have seen millions of dollars and many man-years invested in libraries etc.

I think that 15 years ago Java and C++ had more libraries than Scheme and Common Lisp, and that even with millions of dollars invested the infrastructure around Java and C++ isn't nearly as powerful as what Common Lisp provides in the standard.
Such as? This doesn't hide IDs, as parent poster mentions. You could as well just use IDs without any transforms.
>Not on the topic of SS marriage

But we shouldn't dismiss this. On the topics of racism, same sex marriage, sexism... really any injustice of the past out there, the old tend to want to hold on what was in the past regardless if it was good or bad.

To think that the old have a better grasp on things ignores all the times they do not.

>There is a very big reason that the slogans around "Wisdom comes with age" and "Young know it alls" have existed for so long. They've been observably accurate.

It works 100% of the time when it works. The old have wisdom only if you consider the cases they were wise. If you look at issues like racism or homophobia, the young are the wise ones. Society advanced one funeral at a time because the we lose their 'wisdom'.

If the young want change just for the sake of change, then the old want stability just for the sake of stability.
This. "The limited field of view is certainly an issue".

I hope this is eliminated in future versions. The Epson Moverio has this issue too and it is very awkward seeing a rectangle of available AR. I haven't tried the Hololens yet but I hear it is still there.

p.s. The Virtual Reality NYC meetup is actually hosted inside Microsoft each month. They have given any talks or demos on the Hololens since I have been going. I hope this will change with this announcement!

Maybe I'm being too contrarian but I still think this new AI thing (with Google et al. going down in the rabbit hole) is just the same as before: a dead-end.

The good example is how we invented planes. Or, precisely, how we failed at making flying machines for very long. We did try very hard to mimic birds, and their flapping wings. Study birds did certainly help with problems of weight, for example, but the main blocker was the flapping wings. Plane do not ressemble birds, not at all. For a long time we tried to solve the wrong problem (how to flap wings) and lost sight of the real problem (a flying machine).

I feel (but can't prove) that it will be the same with robots, and therefore AI. Trying to mimic human may help incidentally but it is going to fail repeatedly. What do we want? Make some scifi become real? No, we just want helpful machines. To be helpful, they need to react fast to orders, but do they need to understand our language? They need to see and hear and smell what we can't easily see, hear or smell, so a blind robot plugged to a network of cameras would be more helpful than a two-eyed face-shaped piece of plastique. They need to store and crunch huge datasets that our brains are not confortable with, but do they need to understand our emotions or "feel" them?

To me, the robot and AI of the near future would look like a flying phone, or an implant in the ear, or a ring on the finger, it will not look like the poor google-bullied guybot that was on the memes recently.
> Just go back to the early 00s or mid-90s to see the ramifications that exposing ports from Windows machines to the Internet had, then tell me NAT hasn't had a positive security impact.

NAT has had the same _security_ impact that a default REJECT ingress firewall policy would have. (Coincidentally, this is the default firewall policy for non-Enterprise Windows Firewall configurations.)

If you combine default REJECT with a port opening protocol like uPnP, you have a really nice, reasonably secure, self-maintaining border firewall. (Hyperventilation about security issues with particular implementations of uPnP notwithstanding.)
My teams have written hundreds of thousands of lines of C++, with only occasional (once a year?) trouble with reuse-after-delete or double-delete. And their are tools to deal with that.

We've enjoyed orders of magnitude performance and latency improvement over scripted or GC'd languages.

Its certainly possible to write competent C++ with a professional team, and clear reasons for doing so.
Exactly. But what you described won't make money so we get these videos that don't take place in reality. Majority of non-technical users believe them too hence the hype. I'm interested to see how the reaction changes once hololens comes out.
What's the alternative? Consumers want something they plug in, turn on, and forget about.

I meant OpenID. I literally couldn't see I was saying the wrong thing. Everything you say about OAuth is true. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry for getting so blue in the face.

A hybrid between the two (common OAuth-style endpoints and any OpenID endpoint) is the best solution for everybody.
Ah, good catch: http://link.springer.com.sci-hub.io/article/10.1007/s11948-0... is indeed working - for now.

The whole point of pointing to Sci-Hub is to illustrate the way research is made inaccessible from original sources by paywalls.
I've seen:

Authentication -aaS
Image hosting -aaS
Database -aaS
Maybe you should read the story again. The core focus of the criticism is directed at punching holes through firewalls by default, and in this case you cannot even disable it.

"This is a concern because the P2P function built into Foscam P2P cameras is designed to punch through firewalls and can’t be switched off without applying a firmware update plus an additional patch that the company only released after repeated pleas from users on its support forum."

Later he quotes Nicholas Weaver from ICSI:

"Given the seemingly cavalier attitude and the almost certain lack of automatic updates, it is almost certain that these devices are remotely exploitable."

Last time I was out at bars in NYC it was 4am and I believe this is still the case. DC is 3am, as is Hawaii, West Virginia, Indiana, and some places in Illinois.

Parts of Alaska are apparently 5am and Louisiana has no official last call from what I've read.

I'm sure there are some other cities or states with late last call requirements but I'm only familiar with these ones. Occasionally in my city, there are special exceptions like New Year's Eve where bars can stay open and serve all night if they feel like it.

Ask HN: What will you pay $10/month for?
Some of the categories that I could think of are as follows:-

1) Automate X task.
2) Curated list of X delivered to Inbox.
3) Simple API for doing X.
4) Integrate X with Y.

Would love to hear the thoughts of HN community on this.
Since when was demanding a cut when people use your platform to run their business worthy of scorn?
Well, if nothing else, it's only for the life of the company, not your life.

The T&Cs include several outs for them, too: http://www.cloudatcost.com/terms.php Including, but not limited to, an open clause that allows them to change the pricing any time (arguably intended for the monthly service but not so restricted in the T&Cs), 10.4 and 10.5 defines "abusive usage" and allows them to shut off VMs according to certain standards, but they get to judge them entirely, and section 20 has the standard "The terms of this Agreement, including fees, charges, features, content or any other aspects of a Service, may change at any time and without prior notice."

These are not particularly unusual clauses, which you know if you are in the habit of reading these agreements, so I'm not making any accusations that cloudatcost is trying to defraud you, or that they have any intentions at this time of not honoring the agreement. I am only pointing out that in the future they have several escape hatches, if you were for some reason counting on this service. If you are interested, go ahead and sign up, I would just account for every month after the 4th or 5th one as a nice bonus, rather than your right. Have a backup plan.
I remember when I was in Italy 2-3 yeras ago. I think that this concept do not work well in Italy. Italian people drink espresso near a counter. If you want sit down you pay something like fee (coretto) so ordynary Italian folks drink only espresso at couter. The concept of a coffeehouse (where people could sit) was establish more in Vienna. This is smothing completely strange for italian people. I think that this Starbucks concept do not make big impact in Italy (McDonalds case)
I'm a Gen Y living in Sydney - I've been planning to leave for a while because of the adverse conditions for young people here. Rent is very high, everything is expensive, you get fines all the time for silly stuff like parking your car facing the 'wrong' way, staying in a parking spot for 10 minutes too long or not waiting for a full '3 seconds' at a stop sign, etc... Also, in some parks, you can get fined for having a picnic without a permit. I had to pay a $300 traffic fine for driving in a 'bus-only lane' once. It's a police state.

Also, the tax system is complicated and favours people who own houses (In Australia, you get tax deductions if you lose money on a rental property which you own). There are actually a lot of (older) people in Australia who own like 10+ houses (with 10 mortgages) and rent them out to young people and get huge tax deductions (and capital growth).

Older people own everything. To make it worse, the older generation in Australia doesn't really want to invest in technology - They prefer just investing their money into real estate (which has been growing an an impressive rate year-over-year for the past 20 years or so).

The idea of 'investing in yourself' is mostly a foreign concept in Australia - The only thing worthwhile investing in is a block of land with bricks and concrete on top.

There are many people who dropped out of school, became construction workers and bought a house on a mortgage and are now wealthier than most university-educated students thanks to the insane real-estate growth and labour shortage (due in part to tough immigration laws).

Some recent changes in laws suggest that conditions might be improving but it's too late for me.

I'm looking forward to living in San Francisco - Yes the rent will also be high; but at least it seems that everything else is cheaper, taxes are lower and it's generally a good place to build a career in technology.
I don't think so, at least until specialisation lands.

When used as generic constraints they're statically dispatched which might mean better performances, but I believe the JVM is pretty good at devirtualisation so YMMV…

The only advantage I can think of is probably a lack of surprise when trying to use reflection and discovering your generic types are missing (but that's because there is no reflection in rust)

Hey in Indiana I can't buy any booze on Sunday... if my weekly costco trip is on Sunday and I am getting low on beer? NOPE NO BEER ON SUNDAYS MIGHT NOT GO TO CHURCH

Here in Indiana, I can't buy alcohol at all on all of Sunday, except at a bar or restaurant.
What in the world... this is like stop motion animation taken to the extreme.
I try my absolute best to minimize the incoming damage from this line of work. Every 20-30 minutes, I grab my laptop and move to a high desk. There are accompanying chairs for them, but they are the perfect height for working while standing. Every hour or so, I find a stopping point, take the stairs down a level (sometimes two), walk the length of the building, and return back via another flight of stairs.

It's not perfect, but I'm hoping that these position changes and bouts of walking are working for the better. It shouldn't be harmful at the very least.
Oh I know exactly what it is, and I am a developer with the money who could buy it. But why would I when I know it will be nothing like what they said it is? I think I'll wait and watch the inevitable backlash before I spend my money.
I understand its more about keeping others (i.e. the booze store employees) from being able to take Sunday off. Its a Labor party thing.
I sincerely wonder why people are disagreeing with you, assuming the majority of downvotes signify disagreement.
If anything, I would consider their videos and their dishonesty as fraudulent.

It's also telling, that my previous post in this article was modded down pretty hard. a few of us went to Chicago to demo this, and I was sorely unimpressed. And the AR was only one facet. The bigger problem is their choice of active scanned IR.

They mentioned that their new API will to geocode everything you scan with GPS points, reference points (wifi) and other ways of triangulation. And those points will be linked to Lat/Lon. That sounds exciting and scary both... but with failure to adapt to that huge glowing ball of wideband radiation means the Hololens is a fail outside or near windows.

I guess that leaves the basements to us?

>That's terribly awesome for what it is.

Truly awesome, yes indeed .. and from my perspective, completely out of left-field. Fact is, this kind of evolution rewards those who invest in the platform, and is definitely a key indicator of a successful platform strategy, wherein the benefits of standardization and compatibility, applied along Moorse curve, results in the platform becoming more and more useful. Really great that they're able to maintain the price-point, the form-factor, GPIO compatibility, and so on; all the while pushing the platform into "workstation-class" territory, bit by bit.

The only thing that would make it better .. truly, the only thing .. is if we had the ability to go up to 16gigs of RAM. RAM is lacking, but still the machine is awesome. (I'll just assume that the next $35 investment in the rPi dream that I'll make, will fix this issue..)

I've ordered rPi 3, I'm a true believer, for it to sit atop a bundle of stacks of every other rPi released so far .. and, it seems, the rPi revolution is beneficial to everyone.

I mean, this class of workstation device, for a Linux desktop system, for .. ~$50 worth of investment .. phenomenal!

I hope we see more stuff like this, and it forces the mobile power-horses to re-consider bundling the compiler onboard.

Fun Fact: with this new rev of rPi, I can develop software for the fleet-of-rPi's like never before, i.e. it'll be usable enough to just ditch the cross-compiler and other bunk needed to maintain dominance in a tech-soaked garden of various walls, smokes and mirrors .. so instead of giving my customers an App-store link this year, I think I'll just put the working system in the mail.

Bonanza!
I lived in the Ruhr for a while, and I have to say that I think that it is quite easily overlooked, but nevertheless true: the Ruhr is a mega-city. What once were unique enclaves and villages and small towns are mere pit-stops across a vast concrete jungle, which has - admittedly - quite some green spaces between it, but is nevertheless well-navigated by its citizens. It is nothing to go for a night out from Bochum to Mannheim-Ruhr, or live in Dusseldorf but work in Cologne .. the rail - and general design of German civilization itself - allows for a much, much bigger scale of things - in this region - than might be generally accepted.

I think of the Ruhr region as a mega-city-one (Judge Dredd) kind of thing, anyway ..
But their representation is not too large. It's exactly the size it should be - one vote for one person.

"Too" means excessively. Boomer representation is only "too large" if you happen to disagree with their policy choices (which I usually do) - but it's not an unfair level of representation or influence, which is what disproportionate does mean in this context.
