We are committed to diversity in hiring, professional development, and everyday discussion. Zest is determined to hire crazy smart people who are different from each other to create broad thinking, lots of different ideas, and by extension, the best team possible.

We serialized some XML as a backup to the data we were extracting (and properly modeling), given that the vendor was prone to changing the schema without proper notification, and that there were some data elements we weren't using at that time.

We also built the necessary tools to extract/re-process records easily, and the architecture worked well for us. As our needs or the schema changed we could easily accommodate those changes without undue effort.

It doesn't directly address the question, and I'm not sure that I'd use the same solution if the volume were predicted to be significantly higher, but in our case it worked beautifully. (Happily our volume was predictably within a known range, for reasons I won't go into.)

Could you explain more?
For historical reasons almost all users are on the beta track. I'm working to improve the situation but this is tantamount to a stable release.
Sure, Carlos Slim owns a huge portion of the the NYTimes public stock, but he doesn't have any significant voting power as that is held privately. If a rogue editor/journalist criticized Carlos Slim, he would have no power to fire them, where as at the Washington Post Jeff Bezos certainly would.
Be very careful with this logic. I'm in the middle of cleaning up a project where the original developer did this calculus and stored a lot of metadata as JSON strings in text fields. Now, three years out, we have new reporting requirements that need to be able to filter on some of that metadata.

Experience has taught me that it's next to impossible to know what types of queries will be needed for the entire lifetime of a project. If you absolutely must store data like this, please leave a clear migration path for moving some or all of it into well structured tables when (not if) it becomes necessary.
the last time I checked it included the client, anyway, you usually don't mount a server with windows home.
Nowadays it's more of this:

Except "collectively" is very misleading when you're taking the capital gains from say, 20k employees of a tech company and re-distributing it to 300M / 6 Billion people.

Generally I agree that being fed and housed will remove constraints on labor allocation - but its a slippery hill that ultimately leads to globalist communism. I'm not being hyperbolic - this is the system essentially described in the quotes above.

Also the assumption is that you don't need to report on the data. If you need to report on the data then you might need to create index on those columns for performance which you can't do on a blob.

> "Honest question: when has the future not been uncertain? When times were good? I'm guessing that the collective outlook about the future has a lot to do with current conditions, which is counterintuitive. If current conditions are worse, aren't they likely to get better? Likewise, if conditions are fantastic, don't they have a greater chance of getting worse? That is, of course, assuming that there is some equilibrium we hover around, which history has suggested."

We were never able to predict the future with great accuracy, however the rate of technological change and societal change is faster today than it's been for a long time. We've already gone through a period of rapid change in the 20th century, if you compare life in 1900 with 1999 you can see that our society changed radically. The pace of technological change and societal change is not slowing down, along with increasing activity in AI, VR and synthetic biology which all have the potential to alter our society drastically, we will also have to address considerable challenges with climate change and the knock on effects on the lifecycles of the earth, political instability, economic instability, superbugs, etc...

Those are just the challenges we know about today. What we'll be facing in 20 years we do not know. However, with the challenges we face today the outcomes are too hard to predict, and aside from WW1 and WW2 all are potentially greater than the challenges we faced in the 20th century.

StackHut | London | Full Time | ONSITE

We’re a London-based startup working on a microservices-based “CloudOS” using a mixture of Haskell and Linux systems technology (containers, minimal distros, init systems, etc.) - with some DSLs, systems code, and distributed systems thrown in. We want developers to spend more time writing core business-logic and less time thinking about infrastructure.

We’re looking for our first technical hires, who will be working with us to design and implement the core platform that will make this a reality. We have a MVP in Python (https://github.com/StackHut/stackhut); it gives a feel for what we’re trying to build, although is only a start.

We’re implementing this in Haskell, and are looking for talented functional programmers preferably with some knowledge of Linux/Unix systems programming. It’s a challenging role, working on hard problems, but the chance to work with a top technical team and shape a company and product from the get-go.

We’re funded by top-tier infrastructure investors from the West Coast, and the founders are highly-technical and ex-YC / PhD. Salaries are competitive and include stock options. EU applicants welcome, although relocation would be required. Any questions please comment, reach out on email (jobs at stackhut dot com) or at https://stackhut.com/#/careers. Cheers!

> For instance, imposing a very high land value tax would reduce the value of land, which would in turn reduce the cost of housing.

It would only potentially reduce the tax-exclusive cost of housing. It would not reduce the tax-inclusive cost. (In fact, the rational expectation would be that it would radically increase the tax-inclusive cost.)

Custom View Controller Presentations, the Right Way
Because the implication was that the solution was allowing employees to more easily say no to employers (due to UBI), thus tilting slightly the balance in the direction of workers. A balance that has shifted in favor of employers for the past ~40 odd years or so.

No UBI proposal has ever said anything about "treating everyone like stellar employees" - it's an irrelevant point.

Don't put words in my mouth. I was disputing the notion that China is "relatively peaceful and non interventionist". I purposely stayed away from the comment of "imperialism and militarism" of the U.S.

In contrast, your examples: 1) have nothing to do with China, 2) suggest that two wrongs make a right.

Too bad Magento devs missed that newsflash. Nowadays it still bundles Prototype.js, and every theme and 50% third-party modules you install carry their own copies of jQuery, all at different versions, placed in random locations, and embedded into the page differently.
I have some co-workers who attend a kind of spiritual-social group. It's designed as a kind of third place for those who choose to avoid the Christian tradition.

I haven't been, so maybe I'm wrong about there being any kind of spiritual focus to the group, but I might describe my coworkers as an ex-Christian (who's fairly bitter about it) and...well, the other guy, I'm not sure. Maybe "theist"? My impression was that they're an open-minded and diverse group of people. Maybe you can find something similar in your area.

Yes, that helps them, a lot. However, that is effect. The root cause of political legitimacy is deeply ingrained in their culture, and it is compromise and consensus seeking, even when divided on an issue. That was a very humbling and instructive experience.
