Can you point me at some? Because I've tried a few immutable data stores and been disappointed every time. Given about 10 GB of JSON structures, I keep finding things that can't outperform the boring combo of:

* Convert the versioned data to tab-separated values

* COPY it into Postgres every time

* Hope Postgres can act immutable enough even though it wasn't designed to be

The closest I've come to improving this situation was Kyoto Cabinet (unusable license) and rolling my own damn hashtable (it worked okay but adding new kinds of indexes was just unmaintainable, there's a reason databases should be made by experts).

They forgot parking in french which is the word for car park.

And japanese has so many of such words that are imported from English with a totally different meaning you d need a book to cover them.
More the latter, although a French person hearing "double entendre" might understand that it means "double sens"; it's just not an expression that is used.

A course with mandatory use of punchcards was the only CS course I ever did poorly in. It was IBM assembly language at a community college, and I just couldn't deal. I'd built my own computer a few years earlier, and going to punchcards -- where you couldn't even delete a mistake -- was miserable.

Later, to avoid other courses with punchcards, I used a combination of Emacs at MIT-AI over the Arpanet, a terminal emulator written in Z-80 assembly and a DEC-10 at my co-op job. It was worth driving 30 miles to pick up printouts to avoid punching cards and waiting hours for my programs to turn around.

Do you expect the startups to pay out? Seems sort of like waiting to win the lottery. Even if it does pay out, maybe on average you won't come out ahead compared to a 9-5 daily grind.

Maybe people ought to do the opposite. Work for the risky startup during middle age when you have a cushion built up, and you are opt not to give a shit.
What do they mean by "borrowing"? Is it actually borrowing money from friends and neighbors or is it using a credit card because it is convenient?
It's written to be security and offline first. Most systems have this bolted on afterwards which is notoriously difficult to do and never quite right.

You're also missing:

- a very sophisticated ACL/role model all built off cryptography that allows me to do things like grant Bob permission to watch my TV if Bob is within 100ft of a vanadium-powered Bluetooth device that can verify his proximity. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

- solves RPC in a cross-platform way, handles bi-directional steaming, and data marshaling

- solves decentralized DNS using something called mounttables that can work just as well for servers in a cloud environment as routing to your IoT devices

- basically reinvents how devices talk to each other in many other ways that are too much for a HN comment.

SO is useless for serious questions since
1) It is not easy to answer them and get some karma fast.
2) To answer tough question you have to discuss. Discussions are not the format of SO. Every question which can not be answered in a YES/NO/USE THIS SNIPPET is getting downvoted.

The whole format "This is not a forum" is ill by design.

You get at least something from social security, which every worker pays to sustain, and society then promises to keep going. (Worker/retiree ratio changes are going to be a problem.) Thus, retirement savings is not the top problem.

However, the truth is that a majority of Americans worry about how to pay food and rent every month. This is not because they are all irresponsible human beings, but because American society makes it really freaking terrible to be in the bottom half. Retirement is out of reach; saving for an emergency has to fight with rent has to fight with prescription medications has to fight with clothes for your kids.
I don't think Russian "face control" is borrowed from English entirely. "Control" (контроль) is a proper Russian word, borrowed from French/German and in this context means "checking","verification".
It's both -- but not because it's "convenient" but because it's the only possible source. The minimum payment will then multiply the cost over many years.
Let's not forget that entrée, in French, means "appetizer".

> People have been talking about automation for generations.

Sure. But there's some truly devastating automations coming up unlike any before it.

Self-driving vehicles are going to kill four million decent paying jobs driving semis. Where are these jobs going to go? Manufacturing is all but gone here. Outsourcing is taking out another huge swath of skilled workers. We're not going to be able to run an entire economy on the service industry.

And even those jobs aren't safe. Grocery stores are steadily replacing cashiers with self-checkouts. Fast food is increasingly being automated -- Eatsa has one employee working per store. People are staying home and ordering online where warehouse jobs at eg Amazon are increasingly assisted by automation.

Yes, if we look at the past, there's a lot of unnecessary jobs we've eliminated. Pin setters for bowling alleys, street lamp lighters, phone switch operators, etc. Then we have the really good paying jobs we've cut through outsourcing manufacturing and programming jobs. And yes, every time we've had some new job for people to go to. And they've always been worse jobs with lower pay.

We've gone from a time where one person working could afford a house and two cars, and get a pension retirement at 65; to now where both spouses need to work, probably can't afford a house, and will need their kids to get by on student loans to go to college. 401Ks do not replace pensions, and they can disappear out from under you (eg MCI Worldcom.)

But this time is different: we're really on the bottom rung of jobs in the service industry. Replace these jobs, and there's nowhere else to go.

Society is going to be forced to deal with a post-work economy. I don't mean no one working, but I do mean "there aren't enough jobs for everyone to work 40, let alone 60, hours a week." Broken window fallacy and all.

I think the pace of automation is slow right now, as we still aren't very good with AI. But eventually there's going to be a breakthrough in AI, and I don't see our governments keeping up with how rapidly everything is going to change.

Maybe this future is 10 years away. Maybe it's 100 years away. But it is coming.
Size of the entity was what I was trying to capture. You know that an entity like WellsFargo is not going to go out of business overnight, I don't have the same level of confidence with a 600 employee online-operation.

Also, without researching, I'm just guessing that a bricks and mortar FDIC regulated bank is reasonably safe (in the United States). I would have to sit down and do somewhat more research to be certain of an entity like Ally.

Note, these are all personal observations - the original post was indicating they were surprised that people put their money in Wells Fargo/Bank of America, etc... instead of Ally. I was just trying to supply one (personal) reason why we do it. It's entirely possible that my biases/conservative nature make those reasons ridiculous, but they are still honest.
Totally agree! Though why stop at personal stuff? I moved all of my business stuff to gitlab as well. Just the gitlab-ci stuff alone is worth the price of admission. There are a few funny little edges (gitlab.com seems a bit slow at times, and I finally have to break down and spin up my own gitlab runners so I didn't have to wait on shared runners for ci), but overall, I have no complaints at all. Heck, I am working on a pipeline for automated deployments as we speak.

Gitlab is awesome.

"chances are they'd turn around and buy a new iphone"

Most in that situation would spend the money, but on needs like food or medication. The "blow it on a new iPhone" meme comes from an entitled right wing culture (that also made up the concept of a "Welfare Queen
")
I think it would be similar in lots of countries. Living in Australia, our household priority is to pay down debt. I don't understand the value of holding lots of cash while you have a mortgage. If cash is needed we can redraw.

Ofcourse public health care is free here and education is still affordable and there is a social security safety net and compulsory superannuation payments. So it isn't like a family sickness will see us lose our home and sleeping under a bridge.
Looks farther along than http://dat-data.com/, another commendable distributed VCS for data. One distinction is that dat provides additional utilities for querying and compositing the data structures represented in any csv, json, and yaml files that stores.
This confused me when I moved to America, because I thought it meant an appetizer. Then, when I visited France, it confused me again, because by that point I thought it meant a main course.
Note that the academie francaise is way flexible to accept english words in the official vocabulary. In Quebec they literally have a french word to replace all common english expressions and prevent borrowing.
I was curious about Camlistore and Tahoe-LAFS at one point. I didn't investigate them very thoroughly, however. How do they compare?
I've been wanting to use something like this.

But...

* It's a big jump from relational or noSQL DB's, so there aren't (m)any adapters that I can see for it for JPA, ActiveRecord, etc.

* I'd really like to see a benchmark for each noms implementation compared to postgres, mysql, oracle, and mssql server, if there is a way to do apples-to-apples.

* "noms" is unfortunately is really bad for SEO because noms is a common word in French. If it could be nomsdb or nomnomnoms or something less exactly French, that'd be better. It's going to be tough to find support online easily otherwise.

* SQL compatibility.

* Fault tolerance (how easily does it corrupt), HA, mirroring, full/partial replication, sharding, archival, partial history truncation, etc.

It seems a little like a dolphin jumping into a pool of hungry sharks. It might be more evolved and more capable in some ways, but it's going to get its ass handed to it on speed and lack of features.

Still- I can't wait to try it.
Amazing. Trump has stated that he wants to appoint supreme court justices who can reverse the legalization of gay marriage, and that he personally opposes it...

Guess Thiel is a single-issue voter?
Even Nate Silver says Trump has about a 10% chance of winning. This could be as simple as Thiel expecting to get more than $12.5M worth of value out of the investment if that happens.
Good to see Thiel standing against corruption. As an Indian I am scared of Clinton.
OAuth2 is the way to go for REST services especially if you plan to let users give other apps/developers access without giving out their passwords. For better security, you want to decouple the authentication server from your web application (2 separate databases at least)

The authentication server stores email/username, encrypted password, and roles. To access the web app, you first get a token from the authentication server by exchanging a client_id, secret, username, password and grant type. The token is used whenever you want to make a request to the web app. The authentication server has an endpoint that lets the web app check to see if the token is valid and what roles the client has.

The token is only valid for a short time and can be revoked. To know who is making the request, you associate the username/email from the authentication server with a user object on the web application so you can look up based on username/email.

It's not worth doing this from scratch as there are plenty of open source implementations out there already like Spring Security Oauth2 and other libraries for Django/python, but they all require some reading to get started.

I've used Spring Security Oauth2, but it's not very well documented. I've thought about open sourcing my work, but not sure yet.
A forward looking idea. But the website information is sparse. In fact the comments here gave me more of an idea about what this is then the website. I would like to use this but I need more.

I think you underestimate the amount of people who are actually poor.
Okay, fair enough.

Just for the record though, Ally is FDIC insured/regulated (and I'd guess that's true of most online banks that people actually use). I know you didn't explicitly say otherwise, but I wanted to make a note of that for anyone else who might be worried about that specifically.

For someone like you, I'd reiterate my recommendation for Schwab. But if you never pay fees as is (even from ATMs) then I could see how it may not be worth the time to switch.
Do stocks count as "something"?
People said the same thing about Brexit just days before it happened.

I don't see the problem with trump comments as per a recent reddit post, it was more of comments on what women, in general, will do to be with someone famous. It was a criticism of the mordern day women and nothing more.
I was generalizing it into one word that's a superset of all the others. Probably should've put it in parentheses or something. My bad. Here's her words that she uses to describe any critiques people have been doing:

"unfiltered trash-talk" "unmoderated attacks" "sheer adversarial viciousness" "methodological terrorism" "ad hominem smear tactics" "dangerous minority trend"

That's just first two paragraphs. All of these are verbal equivalence to "abuse" or "harm" that gives the perception that whatever was going on is something bad with no rhyme or reason and needs to stop. Because who could possibly argue with her if they were supporting "smear tactics," "trash-talk," and some kind of "terrorism?"

In reality, a number of scientists applied the principles of fact-checking and replication to a lot of work, including hers. The work failed these. They reported failures to use scientific method. Her side is resisting. Instead of addressing methodological failures, she instead calls it all trash-talk or terrorism while saying she can't or won't give examples of either the [methodological] terrorist attacks or "victims" of that abuse. Everyone should instead just keep doing things the broken way that made her career and only question things in the channels that proliferated these problems and that people like her control. Arguing against that is supporting "trash-talk," "attacks," "smear tactics," and "terrorism" coming from a "dangerous minority." Typical, SJW sophistry.

One of the other design goals of Dat is to support continually-divergent forking, which they perceive as being useful for communities of analysts processing common datasets but to ultimately different ends. Of course, you never have to merge forks in git, but in it's current form they (dat devs) say that it's not really ideal.

In the US that would be a "parking lot" -- so the French term is pretty close.

"The kind of technical debt you'd land in otherwise... euurgh."

That's actually the point of my plan. :P
Javascript is very easy to work with if you just stick to micro packages. What slows it down is that the language has been forked to an incompatible spec (ES6) so there is essentially a hard fork in pool of libraries. To deal with this—and calm anxieties around lack of inheritance, trauma over having to type function over and over, etc—layers of pre-processing have been added: JSX, SASS, asset compilation, compatibility layers, framework booting. This pipeline distances developers from the DOM and other low-level protocols, increases the surface area of the build process, and frequently disables debugging and introspection tools. In addition megaframeworks like Angular, Ember, and React add mandatory layers of indirection and runtime dependencies between each snippet of code, introducing behavioral complexity and confusion from non-deterministic builds.

All of this is why people are excited about Yarn, but to me it's a band-aid on several architectural mistakes.

Just say no to frameworks. Just say no to ES6 and transcompilation. Just say no to asset pipelines. Viva la JavaScript. Viva la Netscape. Viva la Node.
PG appears to be pulling a Paul Ryan =P

But to pick just one pain point, I'm curious how he's going to square having a partner support the grab 'em in the pussy candidate with about a Crosby's worth of sexual assault victims and support for female founders.
Thiel spent money on the Gawker suit. He receives nothing. Moreover, the plaintiffs have received nada yet and will probably receive nada after losing the appeal. Thiel will then be out a chunk of change but the Gawker flagship is out of business. Meanwhile Thiel is definitely out.

Stealthily bankrolling the Gawker suit seems like a pointless waste of money on his part. The Trump thing makes him look even more foolish.
> but on needs like food or medication

Or debt. (Real debt -- the ones where they break your legs if you don't repay.)

I would have kept "right wing" out of it. Entitlement stereotypes are on both sides of the aisle, no need to make this partisan.

Russians like taking plurals of English words, add a Russian ending that denotes plural and attach a specific meaning to the newly minted word. For example, бутсы. It's pronounced "boots-y" where 'y' denotes plural. The word referes to these things https://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%82%D1%81%D1%....

The article specifically says savings accounts. Only a damn fool would keep money there long term. My checking account earns 5x the interest and the money market account at my brokerage is about the same.
Since it's talking about savings I would assume it means highly liquid assets I would assume a house wouldn't be liquid enough to use in the survey just stuff like how much money you have saved.
