I think it's double-ended - if Mom and Dad bought a 4,000 sq ft monster with a three car garage, why not occupy some of it? I think simply calling it "poorer" is a different thing.

Querying a single table with an indexed key will be faster as a single lookup than doing a JOIN, let alone several. That said, it really depends on your load, and if you're not dealing with hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users, and haven't over-normalized your data, you can get by with a lot of options. And a good caching layer for mostly-read scenarios will likely get you further anyway.

That said, use a system that's a good match for your data model(s)... if you're data can fit in a handful of collections, but may have varying object shapes/structure for semi-related data a document store may work better. Need massive scale, C* may be your best bet. There are use cases that are great fits for just about every database server that's been made. Some similar options may be a better fit, but it all depends.

Personally, I'm hoping to see in the box replication options for PostgreSQL in the next few releases, then it will probably be my go to option for most stuff. RethinkDB is pretty damned nice too, and you should be able to scale to many millions of users.

Once you hit certain scales, you usually have to implement a number of solutions... be they sharding, caching or queuing to deal with higher load. It depends on where your bottlenecks are.
It's not careless or indifferent to acknowledge that the demand exists. It is a fact of the world. A fact that, yes, I understand, you do not like. But I haven't seen a single proposal that does anything to realistically address it.

The demand is there and it's not going away. Whatever you're hoping for, it's too late.
>The Chinese Communist Party has led the Chinese people to resist the Japanese invaders in World War II for eight years, which gave them the legitimacy back then.

that's not true, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War , CCP didn't do anything really. later in civil war, CCP used some dirty tricks to win and took control of China.

>China has been making huge progresses for the past three decades both financially and socially. Hundreds of millions of Chinese peasants got out of poverty and started enjoy more freedom in education, living, migration and social upwardness. On that fact alone, China should be praised instead of being scolded on.

well, the real fact are that all economic progress are made by Chinese ordinary people selves rather than by CCP. CCP are a bunch of dirty gangsters.

one example:

due to poor supervision to food, we have to buy imported milk powder because milk powder in China would make babies sick. and we have to pay high tax for imported milk powder.
TrailDB is designed for discrete events (think JSON objects) rather than continuous metrics (like CPU utilization).

Most time-series databases manage to store a large number of data points by aggregating data over time. Discrete events can't be aggregated. Instead, TrailDB leverages predictability of events to compress data over time.
Blockchains aren't about currencies. They're about providing a single immutable scroll for a society to write entries on. You can use a scroll to record transactions for a currency, but you could also use it for any interaction between people.

Great work, nice to see people exercise FOIA laws and show the results...but I do have to jump to one question...So these are calls from the mayor's office? You list one receiving number as belonging to "Aura - Prestige Club"...any more information on that call (e.g. the duration, the time of day, etc)?
I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say. Would you mind providing an alternate phrasing for your comment?
We just don't need that many people to do all the stuff.

Yes we do. There is so much work to be done. The problem is the poverty of the public sphere, brought on by specific, ideologically motivated decisions.
"We" is society at large. And half the point of this article is that "young Americans" cannot afford those country homes with long commutes, and thus still live with their parents.

For the current upcoming generation, they do not have the means to afford those homes either. If you want to house them independently they need denser Urban living since modern transportation in the form of personal automobiles is also incredibly expensive.

> Consider the set of all TMs (...) Each and every one of them is "runnable", right? Each and every subset of that set also consists of TMs, which are also runnable, right?

This much makes sense.

> A proposition about a TM constitutes such a subset.

A unary predicate whose argument ranges over TM may have such a subset as its extension. Two syntactically different predicates may have the same extension.

> If you step back from typed LC

At this point I'm not even talking about types. I'm talking about deductive systems in general.

> and consider the original proof objects, those objects are just a series (a tree, actually) of logical deductions.

This part is correct.

> Each of those deductions is a proposition.

Propositions exist inside of a logic, deductions exist in the logic's metatheory. There oughtn't even be the possibility of conflating them.

> A proof is, therefore, a series of true propositions, each derived from the previous one using one of the deduction rules.

A deduction is a series of judgments related by rules of inference. But a judgment is not a proposition!

Not to mention 30k IOPS and 6TB is very expensive.

You're looking at $2700/mo for the IO provisioning and $750/mo for the 6TB of storage. Double those if you want Multi-AZ. Then you get to price the server size which I imagine is one of the more expensive options if you need 30k/6TB.

I can see validity to both of your perspectives. How about the t shaped engineer concept? I like this description of the t shaped engineer: http://business.stackoverflow.com/blog/should-you-hire-t-sha...
I think it depends on the shape of your data... if your data is mostly collected in sets (as a single object base), and mostly key lookups, then a document store may be the best solution... Example, used to work for a mid sized classifieds site... most of the data was used as a single-listing query, and pulled in from a single base record. The SQL database was over-normalized and required a couple dozen joins if you wanted to see it flat... the system was crumbling...

Replicating the data to mongodb at the time, with a thin API for search and read queries, and omg, it was a staggering difference. Beyond just caching, all the search queries. Today, I'd be more inclined to use ElasticSearch (there was an issue with geo indexing at the time iirc)... just the same, it really depends on the shape of your data.

I feel that the storage shape should serve the needs of the application. SQL databases encourage normalization to such a degree, that it's costly to construct a semi-complex object in memory, especially when your queries will run across many tables for many thousands of users. Joins kill performance at scale... If you can get around that, you're often better off.

Duplicating data to a system that is a better fit for mostly-read/query scenarios is a good idea. There's nothing that says you can't have your data in two places, and it's easy enough to setup services that copy on update.

Mine doesn't. When my washer broke, I called some locals that have a warehouse full of them and repair them. I asked whether it was their opinion, being experts, that my observation about the older ones being more reliable was true? The guy confirmed that older ones easily last a decade or so with new, computer-filled ones breaking all the time. Said they're good business for him. Sold me what he claimed was a good model of older ones he had for under $100. I was surprised when he told me the one that broke was around 20 years old.

That is both reliability and return on investment. :)

I believe the "unethical amnesia" to be somewhat overblown. Those who have a habit of lying, will just continue to do so, regardless if it's something they did 5 seconds ago or 5 years ago. The truth is intact except they will even lie to themselves, not just other people. Also I believe a lot of what makes people do and say what they do, is strictly speaking, not quantifiable on a physical level alone. It is like trying do differentiate the daily food intake between identical twins. Doesn't matter. In this case, truth is a universal constant whereas lies only exist in the physical plane.
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel has secretly been paying Hulk Hogan's legal fees
E Ink had already color and support for (small area) motion videos support E Ink displays in 2009. At that time I got a Kindle 3 and there were hopes that the next Kindle would get such an improved screen. Sadly, Amazon ditched the bigger Kindle entirely and introduced Kindle Fire based on IPS display.

One day I would like a non-backlight color e-ink display ebook reader. And large screen (non-backlight/optional-backlight) e-ink displays would be great for various purposes like electronic wall painting that refresh once a day, info screens, third monitor (eg reading ebooks on PC on a special eye-friendly third monitor), etc

'"We" is society at large.'

Society at large has decided that it likes suburbs and McMansions just fine. You don't get to make that decision for other people, just because you use the word "we".

'And half the point of this article is that "young Americans" cannot afford those country homes with long commutes'

Well, then, that's the problem needs to be solved, rather than patching it by forcing people back into the crowded urban environments that they so obviously do not want to live in.

'denser Urban living since modern transportation in the form of personal automobiles is also incredibly expensive.'

1) Why does it need to be dense and urban?

2) No, they aren't. In 1950 a median-priced new car cost about $1,500, somewhat more than half the median annual wage. Today you can get a new Ford Focus for about $17,000, which is... somewhat more than half the $32,140 median annual wage for those over 25.

Also, most families in 1950 had one car, period. Most families now have at least two. That doesn't tend to support your claim that cars have gotten more expensive.

It actually is a mechanism to reduce impact of theft. Someone with access to your computing hardware might modify it to subvert the system, read keystrokes, decrypt drive, leak it, and so on. This can be as simple as Customs installing something as you leave the country during an "inspection" then reading keys right off when you come back. Not saying it happens so much as a concern we had during a brainstorm. Or someone plugging in an attack tool into your Firewire port while you take a piss at Starbucks. Or you plug in USB drive they dropped with a radio and attack kit in its connector.

Whereas, if someone straight-up steals it, they have no chance of recovering data if the encryption is strong and key isn't in memory (eg cold boot). You can also transmit media through untrusted channels that way. Even NSA's Inline Media Encryptor, which my inspired my designs, has that use case.
Glyphosate is an herbicide, not a pesticide.

And mutations that are random but rapidly through modern non-"GMO" breeding techniques are no more proven by thousands of years than GMOs are, and those developing and deploying them have a lot less knowledge of what changes are induced and what health impacts they may have.

But since they aren't GMOs their apparently okay with the anti-GMO crowd. There is no rational or scientific reason for this.
I'd rather see forward-looking companies replace their CEO's with AI.
Linear correlation. Actually, it seems to be a bit more general than just uncorrelated, i.e. if the input is a m by n matrix X and ground truth a k by n matrix Y, the author requires that XX^T and XY^T to be full-rank. A whitening transformation would yield the identity matrix for XX^T, but that's a bit stronger than what's strictly necessary. My interpretation of XY^T being full-rank meaning X and Y being uncorrelated might indeed be mistaken.

Bronz, I assume you are serious. You could claim that every time the NY Times writes an article about a tragedy, they are taking advantage of it. Showing someone having sex who doesn't want that to be public is awful. But trying to get clicks (and get money from advertisers who pay per click) is little different than newspapers, in my opinion. It's a higher goal to try to inform, but in the end you are both selling advertising (and the subscription).
"We've been conditioned well by out masters."

That sentance said it all.

I was taught that unions were just o.k., even by my own father, who was a union construction worker. He liked to fashion himself as a starch conservative. One night, I had enough him, and I said, "Dad--you realize unions are a very liberal construct?" My father, "Oh, not really son. These guys(his co-workers) are very conservative, and they vote for conservative candidates." Me, "but dad, these conservative politicians hate unions." My father, "Son, you just don't get it." I didn't want irritate him, so I ended the conversation. So many of his buddies would put down politicians who literally set up his union. I didn't get it. I think it was something about living in America at the time?

We were spoiled, and didn't realize we were about to get the carpet pulled from our feet--slowly.

I don't know if it was our horrid public educational system, or something else, but so many Americans just took unions, and availability of good paying jobs, in all sectors of the economy for granted.

Just work hard, and you will succeed in the U.S.. We even took education for granted. My father thought going to college was a waste of time.

We noticed products made overseas we o.k. In quality, and price. We allowed unions die. They were usually in another state anyway. It's not affecting me?

I went to college, and graduated in the 80's. It's been a down hill ride. I can't blame the system for all my problems. I had some health problems that really hobbled me for years. I just don't see the opportunities I took for granted years ago. I hope things change.

I really don't like this gig economy.

> One of the most common refrains among ex-Disney staffers was that Disney had a strong aversion to risk.

Now why does that not surprise me. Disney stopped making art somewhere in the 1940's (fantasia) and started shipping product. I didn't share people's relief that the force awakens at least didn't suck like the prequels. The writing was so derivative as to almost make it a remake. Instead of Jar Jar Binks, the comic relief was Emo-Vader, but the comic relief shouldn't be the best part of the movie, and I'm not even sure if he was meant to be funny.
