It's amazing how you can redeclare the meaning of words and distort reality just to fit your narrative.

Stripping encryption implies that there was, at some point, some sort of encryption between the browser and the website itself, which there never ever was. In the Cloudflare architecture the browser never ever interacts with the website, always with the Cloudflare servers. When you've got the small lock, it never implied that you were connecting to the website, but always that you were connecting to what lies behind the domain name, which is the Cloudflare servers. As an additional point, the website owner has always agreed to use this architecture; they're not somehow victim of some kind of attack from a spooky middleman. They ask (heck, some of them even pay) for it. It is part of the way they want to serve content.

You should tone down the sentimental analysis and keep to the facts. Cloudflare is a reverse proxy service the website owner uses; it is part of their infrastructure.

i read stories about Uber/Lyft and i'm convinced that the authors just don't even consider bicycles - is this a US-Valley blind spot or something? i mean seriously - the problem of getting 3-4 km without a car? quelle horror... i'll grant you until recently it was annoying and having a train do the heavy lifting was a great combo but e-bikes are changing the way this stuff works. even in Auckland we're seeing them and the hills in this city are everywhere (we built it on a volcano field...) but e-bikes and some bikepath friendly investments are changing the 5-km radius of the isthmus. Uber in NZ will probably do just as well as Starbucks - I think there's one at the airport...

actually we have a table which would contain over 100 fields. while we only need to query 10.

actually we store only 6 things inside the table and the rest inside the jsonb.

however we sill miss like 8 values which we are using inside a list, which are slow, but materialized view to the rescue.
however we may pull them out at some point, still need to figuring out since the jsonb data set is also the value of a hash. that checks the validity of the data inside their which we use for change detection against other stuff

> It has no way of knowing, for example, that record ->> 'value_2' = 0 will be true about 50% of the time

Can't this be solved by introducing an expression index[1] for "record ->> 'value_2'"?

This would add a specialized index that will be used of all queries that have a filter like "WHERE record ->> 'value_2' = 0 AND ...".

Where did you take your $600 million and $200 million cost per launch? Ariane costs are around $95 million, but for bigger payloads than what the Falcon 9 can handle.

The requirements for being a soldier are determined entirely by the institutions which select people to be soldiers. So you'd imagine that if a school required it's students to do PE, they'd have just as strong of requirements as soldiers do.

> I've heard that many producers of goods deliberately introduce failure points

There are a lot of apocryphal claims like this, but little evidence. Most manufacturers design for an expected life of the product, and making it last longer than that is a waste of money and resources.

For example, you could design a computer to last for 20 years, but what would be the point? Computers go hopelessly obsolete in about 5 years. The only people who care about longevity of it are a handful of collectors. Fashionable clothing is not made to last because people don't wear out-of-fashion clothes. It's pointless to make them to last. Cars are designed to last for 10 years. Airliners are designed to last for 65,000 flight hours.

Products that are useful long term are usually made to last, like tools.
'Gambling' wolves take more risks than dogs
That's perfectly reasonable. But then you also let them query on those arbitrary custom properties and that's where the performance issues are? If so, that's a fairly hard problem to solve.

Taking the well-defined subset of searchable properties and making them columns, as described in the article, is the really the best solution.
stupid question: is that the actual manufacturing price, or is there some one time R&D and tooling in it?

OTOH, I've seen companies STILL overspending on loyalty. For example, super major oil companies are still obsessed with nurturing generalist managers who keep lateraling across divisions over a 40 year career.

Talk with their "career development experts," and you'd swear that you're dealing with a cult!
If anyone's at all interested in risk analysis or robust software, it's totally worth finding a decent writeup on the Ariane 5 failure --- it's a fascinating postmortem in just how many unexpected little things together added up to a big boom.

For people who may not be familiar with car centric areas like Southern California, the situation is completely different in terms of public transit from a place such as new york city , for example. Everything is completely spread out and there are relatively few public transit routes. So for example to travel sixteen point five miles from an inland area to an area closer to the coast my option is to spend an hour and forty minutes on public transit or twenty minutes in an Uber. Also to compare that with a cab ride it would be at least fifty dollars for a cab where as the uber will cost eleven dollars or twenty two dollars depending on the time and day. Public transit would only cost two dollars and fifty cents, but again that's a minimum of an hour and forty minutes and it could be closer to an hour and fifty five minutes.
In my case it was more like my employer was resentful and started curtailing all the aspects of the job that made me want to stay (suddenly becoming very strict about never working from home and being in at exactly the appointed hour when this had never previously been an issue, for instance).
Can you name anything in nature that experiences exponential growth, or is it all logistic growth?

The expression index will make it fast to retrieve the rows for which that predicate is true, but it won't help the planner know that this will be the case for 50% of rows, so I don't think it will change the join that the planner selects (which is the problem here).

In fact, this might make the query slower. If postgres thinks it is selecting a very small number of rows, it will prefer an index scan of some kind, but a full table scan will be faster if it's retrieving 1/8th of the table (at least, for small rows like these). So, you might get a slower row retrieval and the same explosively slow join.
No, it is extremely rare to share such feedback, because it opens the door to quibbling with your reasons.
Not storing important things in the 'cloud' is surely a bigger problem. Every heard of off-site backups?

It might sound flippant but I'm serious. There's no hard fast line between off-site backups and whatever you are claiming is the terrible idea of storing important things in the cloud. If all my 'important things' were stored locally I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Not unless you're planning to underpay them. Besides, an all-woman firm isn't such a great idea. That "diverse teams perform better" stuff is for real, and it works both ways. Cutting out half the human population from your talent pool is a disadvantage to your company no matter which half you're planning to cut out.

I only go to work for a pay check! I wouldn't be doing what I do if I was financially independent.

I stopped working more than 40 hours after 3 months of 65-75 hour weeks and realizing I wasn't getting squat for it. Other people were getting paid the same I was and they weren't doing the extra hours.

So I stopped. Why put in the extra effort if it isn't paying out? Don't get me wrong. I am not doing sub-par work. I just don't do extra unless I am paid for it.

Saying people aren't motivated by money is fallacy, IMO
Pluto AI | Palo Alto, California | Full Stack Developer | ONSITE

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for a full stack developer with at least 3 years of experience to join our team. This is an opportunity to spearhead the development of our water analytics platform and pioneer the overall architecture.

WHAT IS PLUTO?

We are enabling our customers to analyze and understand the real time data coming from connected devices like sensors and smart meters. Our analytics engine digs deep in to the data to uncover actionable insights. The platform provides real time alerting and a command center view of consumption trends, leakage, overallocation, conditional monitoring, and many more things. The platform has to process high volumes of real time data coming from our customers.

WHY US?

Our goal is to develop a Deep Learning platform to prevent the wastage of water, our planet's most essential natural resource. We are looking for somebody who knows how to get things done. If we end up liking each other, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

A couple of things to note about this role:
- Experience with a backend framework like Django
- Experience with a frontend framework like AngularJS
- Our stack is built using a combination of Python and Javascript, so familiarity with these languages is necessary
- Working knowledge of databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Influx)

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

- We like solving hard problems. You will be working on cutting edge data science problems.
- Since you will be one of the first few people in the company, you will have a tremendous impact on our strategy and culture.
- You’ll have the opportunity to drive the architecture and design of our platform. Since this work is largely self-driven, you’ll have the opportunity to get really hands-on.

If you think you are up to it, feel free to ping us at founders@plutoai.com.

For a reason which, standing on a train station platform as I was, I failed to note in my prior comment: anonymous, untraceable money transfer not only makes it easier to conceal crime, but acts as a uniquely powerful inducement to same. Making it possible to contract a murder, for example, in perfect forward secrecy, removes a significant deterrent against doing so at all. One may hasten to argue that such things are already possible today. They are. They are also quite difficult to achieve, which need not be the case with effectively anonymized cryptocurrencies.

Further, that which facilitates the contravention of a nation's laws, in a way which renders detection and prosecution of the crime effectively impossible, is of its nature a direct attack on that nation's sovereignty. No government which wishes to maintain its power intact can long suffer such an infraction. I suspect that's why the toplevel commenter who started this thread spoke in such fashion. Bitcoin dodged one bullet already in the fallout from the Silk Road debacle. This looks like it might be another.

Simply pinning public and local and not allowing local rebinding should have most of the issues resolved.

Er...have you tried biking around America's cities? Some are decent. New York and Chicago have a couple of dedicated paths along their respective bodies of water, and biking can be faster than taking the train. And both cities are big enough to support well-paved/painted cross-town roads.

But going off of those designated streets can be dicey. In New York I feel relatively safe because traffic is such a crawl anyway that, aside from getting doored by a inattentive taxi passenger, you probably won't get run over at a high speed.

And then you have many of the other cities in America. Dallas in particularly strikes me as a city especially un-optimized for bicyclists despite the huge amount of land there. I mean, there's plenty of lanes for cars, and just about nothing for bikes.

An initiative to change America's non-car culture would probably take as long as it would take to make self-driving electric vehicles mainstream. And automated vehicles are probably more viable when thinking of the future, as America's population continues to age and fewer people can physically bike (or even walk).
Why did they make a contract contingent on factors outside the contractant's influence? that seems counterintuitive.

As of right now, our schema is literally:

user_id | event_id | time | data

where data is a JSONB blob that contains every other piece of information about an event. Currently, we get a row estimate of one for pretty much every query. We've been able to work around the lack of statistics by using a very specific indexing strategy (discussed about in a talk Dan gave[0]) that gives the planner very few options in terms of planning and additionally by turning off nested loop joins.

We are planning on pulling out the most common properties that we store in the data column, which will give us proper statistics on all of those fields. I am currently experimenting with what new indexing strategies we will be able to use thanks to better statistics.
