One example related to software is augmenting decision-making before trying to replace it. PayPal's first major fraud detection algorithm worked by automatically flagging/delaying a small number of cases and having humans review them. I've tried to do something similar in my jobs when working on cases that are trivial for humans to judge but very difficult to completely specify automatically. Of course you can generally improve these systems with machine learning over time, so that a human reviews 1 in 10,000 cases instead of 1 in 100, but having a dual human-computer system is generally way more efficient at the beginning.

>if you want females you should pursue situations with a gender surplus of females, and this distinctly excludes online dating.

Yes, I realize that, however the venues for this are very limited in my experience; I already listed out everything I could think of.

Usually, when this discussion comes up, people will recommend things like "find groups that do things you like, and you'll meet women you like there!" Sorry, but I'm not likely to meet any desirable and single women at a Linux or programming group. And I do attend some outdoors groups, but IME there the women are generally much older than me (and I'm not young either). I'm not really sure what the single female 30-45 crowd does in the DC area, but it's not hiking. From my limited dating experience in this area, their general free-time activity appears to be hanging out with their female friends and complaining that they can't find a husband while their biological clock is running out so they're going to start on IVF from a donor.

"I've got a friend in London with a normal job who just bought a few flats for like £90k mortgage, £10k down and the equity in them is now well over £1m. No other regular investment performs like that with little risk."

From the numbers you quoted, I assume (s)he got started in 1999/2000? It seemed less risky then, because:

1) Rental income on a 100k flat (~10k/year) would easily cover the interest cost (5-7k/year, depending on the mortgage deal).

2) Although prices were already higher than historical prices, there was no sign that they were becoming unaffordable. Many people in London earned >=30k or had joint income of >=36k, so they could easily get a 90k mortgage.

3) Management fees on flats were low (less than 10% of the monthly rent).

Only (1) is still true today, but could reverse if interest rates go up a little.

Today's buyers do not face the same environment your friend did.
Good point on the "timeline contamination". We like to say that "hindsight is 20/20" - which implies that if one could go back in time, one could take advantage of that future knowledge without changing that future outcome. I could say that if I went back in time to the early 90s and bought a bunch of Apple stock for like $5/share that I'd not change the future. But what if I got greedy and bought a significant percentage?

I do agree with your assessment of AAPL vs MSFT. Apple has ingrained itself into the fabric of our personal lives in a way that would be very hard to challenge. Microsoft never achieved that - because it was run by corporate sales folk.

Apple's undoing, if anything, will be from being to greedy.

$200K house than can rent for $20K per year has a rent to price ratio of 10. It would be wise to buy in this market.

Sice housing prices should be linked to what they can rent for, it's a check to see if the two are aligned.

Is NoSQL really all that much different than relational? At the end of the day isn't a collection pretty much like a table? And you have to tie two collections together with a common ID (ie, join)?

NoSQL is less rigid but your code pretty much has to be as rigid, right?

Trying to have chinese characters legible at "smaller sizes" is a hopeless cause; they contain much more information than letters do and they consequently need more space. Check out the rendering of the very common character 疆, which HN would like to slot in at basically the same size as the rest of the text. As it shows on my computer, it's legible -- but not correct. (Most egregiously, the horizontal stroke at the bottom of 土 (bottom left quadrant) is missing.) I've seen denser characters show up as blocks of pure black.
I've written a Lisp compiler that handles quotations this way, so that QUOTE is not part of the target language. (Not that this was my own idea.) I can sort of see why you'd call McCarthy's s-expression Lisp a mistake, in that it adds something (QUOTE) not in the original M-expression Lisp, which you can do without. It still seems to me like a strange thing to emphasize, but OK.

BTW, the M-expression syntax for IF was "test -> consequent; alternative" which got encoded as a COND expression. (Doesn't matter, I'm just pointing it out as long as I'm commenting.)

> it's consumers driving cars that are polluting.

Cars are not the problem, there is no one thing that is the problem. Simply being alive and doing things uses energy, there is no way around that.

And BTW if you do the math a bicyclist (in the US, eating a typical US diet) emits more CO2 per mile than a small car. Assumptions: The bicyclist is riding in addition to any exercise, the riding is not exercise, and the bicyclist eats normal food. A bicyclist who prefers organic, or local, would definitely emit more (both of those emit more CO2 in the growing than regular food).

It's a surprising result, I know. But it's because humans are not very efficient in turning food energy into miles, and cars are reasonably efficient. It doesn't help that growing food takes a lot of energy, especially if you force yourself to only eat local, if you do that energy really goes up.

> You guys have elaborate rules governing contact and treatment of indigenous people from the amazon to the serengeti.

The difference is, to the tribes - technology isn't beneficial and to Pakistan, it is. The tribes are so far removed from the world that it would take multiple generations to bring them up to speed. Pakistan wants to be more connected to the world but doesn't want to listen to what the world has to say. That's the difference.

> But for some strange reason you guys are totally incapable of understanding putting people in under developed/mostly illiterate societies in contact with the massive ever increasing noise that is the "free internet" is damaging in the same way as non regulated contact with indigenous people.

Pakistan is not underdeveloped - it's at the perfect time for growth, just like India currently is. Lying to the people (which is what you're suggesting) - you think will really help progress people's thinking on the world stage? Or do you think it will reinforce a culture that already hates difference? We're talking about a Country where in the villages, they kill people for "black magic", believe in ghosts and beat their women. I think they've had enough unchallenged thinking.

> thank god for the "non free regulated Chinese internet" cause there is a counter point to the western way of thinking about an unregulated "free" internet which is really irresponsible

Oh yes, I often forget that the Chinese Communist Party actually makes rules to better the world and not just it's own agenda.

By the way, for all that blocking in China - the Chinese are considered highly racist and rude by other Asian cultures, let alone the rest of the world.

This is often what happens when Mongo is used, except now the task of joining and aggregating is pushed up to the application, instead of getting it for [mostly] free from the DB itself.

In the process of pushing it up to the app, you lose ACID guarantees. Without ACID guarantees, your ability to view/update a snapshot in time of all your data becomes a very difficult problem to solve. As such, it's hard to say the two methodologies are equivalent.

When you start putting relational data into a non-relational DB, you are going to have a bad time.

> I think you missed the entire point of the parent. Who cares about the resale value of the house? What you should care about is if it's a good rental or not. In the 'burbs, you'll have more stable families, people who care a bit more about their house, people looking for longer term places to raise a family in a good neighborhood, and you can get some great tenants.

It really depends. In Australia, tax concessions and negative gearing often mean making an operating loss on your rental is preferable, as you can deduct those losses from any other taxable income sources.

There are plenty of other countries which are considerably poorer than the middle east.
Circa 2010 Syria wasn't a "bad" place, the average income was greater than that say of India, it was about equal to that of Moldova and the Republic of Macedonia both which are both EU accession candidates.

Syrians (and Saudis) who joined the insurgency in Iraq weren't disenfranchised infact they were from the elite, often dropping out of university to go and join the "cause".
Osama Bin Laden who founded AQ was born into one of the richest families in the world, had higher education and really had no hard done to him by anyone.

Europeans who join ISIS are mostly 2nd and 3rd generation "immigrants", often to mixed families and "fresh converts", they aren't particularly disenfranchised either.

Geopolitics and economics do have a role in conflicts everywhere, but the sooner you stop blaming everything on people being poor, oppressed and "western expansionism" the sooner we might actually be able to start working on a solution.

Last time I've checked Tibet is effectively poorer than Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, not to mention the smaller gulf states (and I'm not counting the average which is skewed because of how the wealth is distributed) and it's quite objectively oppressed but I have yet to see Tibetans blowing up restaurants in China.

If they have cracks in things that are designed to go through multiple flights without cracks, and those cracks haven't appeared in testing, that's a failure. Any such finds in checks today means the necessity of checks again next time, and the hundreds of times after that. SpaceX needs to find nothing so that they can then decide at some later date to stop doing the checks. Not cracking open the fuel pumps after every flight is a necessary part of the planned cost reductions. If inspections suggest that the design needs to be checked every time, as with Shuttle, then new design is needed and the testing program hasn't met its goals.

> So you are saying that governments are doing their citizens a service by filtering the internet for them?

If it was a service, they would fund an Ad-Block like add-on that their people could install on their browsers by their own choice. They could offer opt-in filtering on an internet provider level. It's obviously not a service.

There seems to be some assumption that just because a majority may or may not want something in Pakistan, that they should suddenly enforce that on everybody.

> That's an interesting viewpoint, but not an easy sell to a delusional Westerner. We don't let our governments tell us how to think. That's the job of advertising.

In the UK, there is an advertising authority to ensure that advertising in the UK remains tasteful. In the UK, if you have some content that is sponsored by a company you have to make it clear from the start that is it so.

I think it's fair to say that in the UK, not even the advertising authorities are aloud to tell the people what to do. And the recent brexit supports the idea that the government doesn't either.

Again, what bad decision will they make regarding charter cities due to being irrational? Why do you think that Hondurans will make choices so terrible w.r.t. charter cities that they should be forbidden from having that choice?

Similarly, because Hondurans are irrational, should they also be forbidden from entering Mexico and the US? Similarly, Brexit is good because Europeans and Brits might irrationally make the wrong choice on where to live?

Pointing out that people are irrational is not a magic argument against all policies that sound "too libertarian" to you. You still need to actually make an argument (presumably using irrationality as an underlying premise), which you haven't.
Did you try other architectures? What frameworks are you using?
My experience says that the issue is not differences, but bad architectural decisions. Most applications out there are glorified CRUDs. They are perfectly serviced by SQL databases. NoSQL fits a smaller set of systems whose scope is mostly passing data around. PostgreSQL now supports JSON as a datatype and allows querying it. Works beautifully. No need for MongoDb at all.

Ask HN: Corporate nullification question
I have came across a major decision that I have to make, for the startup I'm leading. 4 of us have developed a big data tool, called "The Weapon", that combs through the entire internet looking for relevant documentation on contractors and there information. It grabs and creates data sets of relevant contractors (like a construction contractor, or a manufacturing contractor, etc) and goes through them, compiling lists of emails. The Weapon could be used for other purposes too. We may commercialize it later.

The problem is, I had a meeting with a VC firm, and they told me about Anti-Spam laws in Canada that could be pertinent. I looked through relevant documentation and the fines are minor for unsolicited emails, but according to a mentor of ours it could damage our reputation..

The thing is, The Weapon could be a great tool to help us get liquidity on the supply-side of our marketplace at launch. I don't want to take a longer, more strenuous route to liquidity, when there have been other companies like BuildZoom that have built and used similar tools to help them get liquidity (in the States). It would be a disadvantage to us to not deploy The Weapon.

The fines are minor, I'm not really worried about my reputation (Its comparable to when Travis Kalanick ignored San Franciscos cease & desist when Uber was in its infancy), but I also don't want to turn off potential investors who might think I'm reckless for nullifying regulations that are onerous and an impediment to our innovation.

I wanted to ask the community - would you deploy The Weapon, if it meant getting your startup off the ground, even if it meant risking a small fine, and your reputation with some people? I plan on always being straight forward with VCs and tell them how we used The Weapon to get to liquidity. I won't hide it, or conceal the fact that we may or may not have broken anti-spam regulation, because that would be illegal and I'd end up like Parker Conrad.
