Interesting perspective.

The article talks alot about big companies that make lots of money but as a user of databases I always saw the competition to ReThink DB being Postgres, MySQL and to a lesser extent ArangoDB and MongoDB.

The core problem for Rethink being that, well, I can get as much database as I want for free. I explored many/most of the new/nosql databases and in the end always found that Postgres was the best solution - you just shouldn't bet against Postgres it seems.

I really liked RethinkDB and thought it was well implemented but it just wasn't needed.

I do wonder if ArangoDB is going to go the same way.
It's not blood but the vibrations of the tensor tympani muscle. I learned to control it voluntarily and can make my ears rumble whenever I want. It's a pretty useless talent. Many people hear it when yawning.

There was an HN post a few weeks ago about Mercedes putting something in their car that activate the reflex just before an accident. To protect against hearing loss from the loud crash of an accident.
Maybe the close sourced aspect worries him more.
In my (admittedly short) experience as a data scientist, "solving the wrong problem"/"working on irrelevant things" and "inadequately cleaned/prepped training data" are vastly, overwhelmingly more common failure modes than "building the right thing with good data inputs but misunderstanding the algos." Probably more common by an order of magnitude or two.

Then again, maybe I'm just working at companies with problems that are amenable to easily-understood algos but have plenty of data-and-product-themed problems.

the commutation could have been done 2 months ago to allow for reasonable time. Also, it's not like the president doesn't have the resources or authority to accelerate it. Pardon my cynicism, but (not that I have any sympathy for the incoming president) it seems more like a political ploy to put the incoming president in a conflict where the president is tempted to do something deeply unethical to be politically consistent.
3M and Gigabyte had a demo of an immersion cooled server this year at CES: http://www.anandtech.com/show/11046/gigabyte-server-shows-tw...

The 3M guy at the booth said they were partnering with Gigabyte because the latter can build servers with the requisite non-standard high-density form factors necessary to not have excess empty space being filled by the expensive cooling fluid.
This is sad. For years many have asked why innovation has slowed compared to previous generations. Here's a prime example. Companies/CFOs need to see all research as a profit making venture where all money spent must have a short term return and there is very little room for basic research or high risk research that has a long term outlook and benefit.

All the moonshot ventures were long term shots at innovation. Now the CFO has looked at them with an eye towards short term profits and most did not pass the test. Too bad, wall street is happy with Google and the stock price will certainly improve but at the cost of long term benefits for all.

Let's face facts as great as Google seems it has come at a cost of countless jobs. Advertising campaigns have certainly shrunk when compared to pre-Google days. It's not Google's fault but they have certainly benefited by grabbing a major chunk of the cash. As such they should work towards improving the future. Generating cash for the sake of profits will not make things better. Larry and Sergey did see that Google's money had the power to change things but they seemed to have bent towards the Wall Street way of running a company.

Right on the money, so to speak.

He says that the market was terrible because open source developer tools suffer from oversupply. I don't think that's what happened. Rather they chose to make a product for which the next best alternative (e.g. Mongo or Cassandra or MySQL or Postgresql) had almost zero cost. It doesn't matter how oversupplied the market is if someone is willing to give away a viable product for free. Perhaps "oversupply" is another way to say "someone was willing to sell at zero cost", I'm not sure.

Unless you can find a set of customers who see significant value in your product vs. the alternative zero-cost product, you're never going to make money.
"Aviation is awesome in that sense - accident investigations are focused on understanding what happened, and preventing re-occurence. Allocating blame or punishment are not part of it, at least in enlightened jurisdictions."

Same goes for every tech company I have worked at. I have never been in a post-mortem meeting where the goal was to allocate blame. It was always emphasized that the goal of the meeting was to improve our process to make sure it never happens again, not punish the party responsible.

I've had serious difficulty[1][2][3] with Apple's Notes.app over the past 18 months. So much so that I've written some JXA (Javascript for Automation) code to extract all of my notes to self-contained HTML files.

Now that I have 923 notes in HTML files on my hard drive, I can do whatever I want with them. My current plan is to import them into OneNote because they have good app coverage across platforms and they just released what looks like a pretty solid API that lets you import and export notes.

Maybe I (or somebody else) can write an importer for Standard Notes to make it easy to switch from Apple Notes?

I see $100k USD being thrown around as a large salary in discussions, and compared to the median US household income it is. But people have been using this figure as a convenient anchor point in arguments for decades now, and if you look at inflation, $100k should not be considered a high salary today, and if you are a programmer you should demand more:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=US$100000+2017+in+1980+...

$100,000 today would have been $33,000 in 1980, $53,000 in 1990, $70,000 in 2000, and only $84,000 in 2007.

You are totally right about the $200k mark feeling comfortable. $200k is the new $100k.

I have no serious issue with fad-diet pundits and talk show hosts giving bad advice based on extremely weak science. My issue is when the government does this, and sets regulations, dietary guidelines, and school lunch rosters based on bunk.

Changing the diets of millions of children at once should require airplane-construction levels of confidence, at the very least. Instead the FDA and FNS are running off low-confidence garbage and acting as if they have an authoritative standing, playing with potentially trillions of dollars of future utility differences spread across tens of millions of schoolchildren.

> I'd argue that we see lots of decentralization on the web.

Youtube, Paypal, Facebook, Steam, Reddit, Medium, Github, hell even hackernews - I think the big success story of the internet in the past decade has been the centralization. Decentralization is usually popular because of illegal intents (like bittorrent). I agree with you though, they could exist in a hybrid state and there will always be markets for decentralized systems. But a global economic system run that way is on a totally different scale and stake.

> I'd say that money should definitely be decentralized.

Depending on how it's done, it very well should, but a lot of things come into question like governance and consumer protection, and actually moving the world forward and helping those who aren't computer savvy. Unless you're a libertarian, the economy is really a means to an end and not and end in itself, and another big success story over the past decades has been the huge global economy that has been created and enabled everyone from the poor to the old to people who aren't as savvy to work and live relatively safe lives. You can't just dump the bitcoin software on everyone and say, "here it is! your life savings, your paycheck, your everything, just make sure you don't fry the hard drive that it's stored on and make backups!"

Decentralization is for the most part, an enthusiast endeavour. The centralization aspect is powerful because it offloads all the technical details so that 5 hours per day of brainpower on the whole globe isn't wasted on just trying to do something as simple as recovering 5 bucks in an emergency. And this applies to almost any decentralized service and applies even more strongly to things that are of survival importance like money. I'm not disregarding the idea or making a prediction, it's just there's a lot here to think about I think

There's an even more difficult playstyle called "ghosting" which 'requires' that the player not even alert a guard past a certain level, let alone knock them out.

OP here

When solving a project euler or codewars problem, record your screen and audio while voicing your thought process and solution to the problem. When finished, a title and description should be automated, and upload to your youtube channel, or save it to disk.

automate creating a thumbnail

If you are a developer and build a product using react. When do you ask the business to buy support?

While you're building you assume you'll have to gain your own level of proficiency. So you don't know at what point you'll need support.

Having to go back and ask for an increased budget after it has shipped is a harder internal sale.

As much as I appreciate rethink's approach, I can see it as a challenging business to be in
Be careful there, if the previous company can claim that a previously developed asset is a trade secret then you could expose yourself regardless of if you've reused source code or not. Also be aware of any non-compete agreements you've entered.
You know, you would think for something as basic as writing down what you're doing there would be an optimized way passed down like some sort of tribal knowledge. But from having asked around, the note taking process spans the entire spectrum from old school big research notebooks, collated three ring binders, instances of mediawiki, evernote, to just a bunch of .txt files scattered throughout their filesystem. However Evernote is probably the most common--being able to easily copy-paste plots and images seems to ease a big pain point.

For paper notes, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think such a non-linear problem can be solved with different note taking methods as "short, medium, and long-term storage". I find my research notebook useful as a dated "what am I doing right now", free-form input useful for equations and diagrams, and short term to-do lists (which are more useful for outlining the steps needed to actually get something done). However, it's not very easy to lookup info by topic and it's time consuming to write out detailed explanations in long-hand. I haven't had much luck with the bullet journal system or similar because it's just hard to keep those indices up to date. At this point I find it most useful to type up the "cooked" knowledge into vimwiki at various points. These semi-fully formed digital notes can then be used as the building blocks for the "long-term storage" of more durable works like journal articles or papers.
It should yes, if it doesn't then its a bug that I should fix...
Have you tried running any examples from threejs? Is it smooth too?
For many assertions, my quick filter is: what the _direct_ experimental design would look like to draw such conclusions? Is it possible that it is done somewhere?

Biology is so complex and we know so little about it, so that the normal logic often fails on it: if A -> B, B -> C, you need to do experiments to show A -> C. Error accumulates, other unknowns come in.

If you have to draw conclusion by logic in biology, look at the errorbars and sample size. Then stretch the errorbars by the square root of the sample size. Then stretch it again 3 times. If the conclusion still look obvious to you, proceed with caution.
My primary use case for Evernote is using the web clipper to clip articles and then tagging and adding notes. Do any the alternatives mentioned in the comments support that?
Then I'd say the primary problem is to reduce the cost of an access to clinical trials or improved flexibility in the trial requirements proportional to the size and plight of the patient population. The 'similar incentives' you mention are wanting to avoid public-health crises of the sort we have experienced many times in the past.

The trouble is that one does not see what was prevented from existing.

Opportunity cost is a basic fact of economics. It seems to me that people put a higher premium on reliability than novelty in this sphere; that is to say, the cost to society of people dying from terminal disease is less than that of people dying unexpectedly after treatment for less deadly conditions. Also, your statement assumes those cures will never be discoverable.

I Open Source whatever I'm allowed to open source, when I do contract work for companies, to address this very question for my future self. I usually include a clause in the agreement that the code will be released under an open source license (they can pick, or I can pick Apache license or GPLv3 with copyright held by me and them receiving an unrestricted license, whichever is appropriate to the project), unless explicitly requested otherwise.

I've found it is rarely an issue that even raises eyebrows these days; unless the company is a software company selling software as their primary business, they don't care what the license is as long as it solves their problems and won't give them legal hassle down the road. Most companies just need solutions running on their servers; they don't care how the solutions get there.

If something is clearly work-for-hire, and isn't Open Source, I wouldn't re-use it without explicit written permission. But, I can't remember the last time I did work that met that description.

MongoDB server is AGPL - client drivers are Apache. To be fair the business side is based around larger scale deployment and management, and is proprietary add-ons.

I'm kind of surprised that approach wasn't mentioned for Rethinkdb - a free open core product, with paid extras dealing with pain points in larger deployments.

Forced school desegregation is not active for most kids. Many people buy into expensive school districts. Cupertino, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and other fine cities are not exactly desegregated. Even in more mixed areas, the school zones are seldom mixed. Then, for those without the money to isolate themselves by zip code, there is homeschooling. Kids do not get bused from one homeschooling family to another.
