Hasura engg. here. No offence taken! :)

Hasura is indeed kind of what you described.

The warning on the UI is mostly for non power-users who probably don't have a good db migration kind of practice. Underneath, the Hasura data API stores its minimal metadata within Postgres itself.

That means that you can always use Postgres directly, and your migration tool works exactly the way it should. Whenever your schema migrations affect a data API, you need to ensure a metadata update for the Data API as well. We're going to be publishing examples of how DB migrations look using just a raw SQL setup, and an alembic setup!

The speed increase for the Data APIs is because of a few reasons:

1) Efficient serialization/deserialization of the JSON queries and responses (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson)

2) Prepared statements

3) JSON aggregations done within Postgres (not generating the JSON)

4) Every client API call needs to be authenticated. The authentication is done by a efficient middleware written inside nginx with redis as the session store. The data API layer, then just does the authorization (this user-id can access this row).
One thing that seems to be missing from these SPA app utilities is an automatic way of pointing your root HTML file at an expirable root JS file. In development it's ok to point at `application.js` but in production NGINX/S3/Apache/Cloudfront should be serving something like md5-digest-of-app-bundle.js such that when the bundle content changes you invalidate the cache. If you're using a CDN you'll also need to have a prefix step to change the root url for assets.
So, a face plunger?
I fell victim to this scam once, we lost our dog's favorite ball and looked on Amazon to get another, sadly, it was discontinued. Checking e-bay we saw some listings for the original ball. Ordered one and we eventually received, drop shipped from Amazon the new version of the ball. The seller clearly didn't update the autogenerated listing to the reflect the product Amazon was actually selling. I then returned the ball since I didn't want the new version and if I did I could have got it for Amazon for cheaper and easier in the first place.

Other than cases of false advertising (likely unintentional here but still annoying) who goes to ebay before just buying the item from Amazon (maybe foreign buyers?). Nearly 100% of the time the shipping will be more expensive and the return policy worse, never mind the entire experience.

On the contrary, I consider the Amazon affiliate model to be one of the least bias-inducing forms of "sponsorship." People whose monetization comes from Amazon affiliate revenue don't care which brand of TV you buy since they're getting paid a percentage of all products they link to, so the can recommend based on which brand/model they think is best.

This seems a lot better than older traditional advertising models, where you have people writing reviews for TVs while the publication is getting paid advertising dollars directly from companies like Sony or LG. A classic example of this happened back in 2007, when a video game publisher was running ads for Kane and Lynch on Gamespot, which is a video games review site. Jeff Gerstmann wrote a negative review of the game which ran on the site, and he ended up getting fired as a result (as Gamespot's ownership didn't want to bite the hand that was feeding them).

The researchers recorded the following transcript, translated from bees' dance, a few months after introducing git to the colony:

I like Oracle's product. It's reliable, and very fast. You can find people who've been using it for a long time and understand how to get the last ounce of performance from your database. Unlike some of the OSS database engines, you don't get halfway into a project and find you can't index dates, or some certain kind of query is slow and there's no way around it.

That said, dealing with Oracle the company is painful, and I wouldn't do it if I were by myself or running a small shop. Fortunately, I work for BigCo, and we have People who do that sort of thing. By the time it gets to me all the business stuff is worked out, the database is installed, and I'm getting an email with my account information.
There's an attainment gap. It's definitely not genetic. It is partly cultural, and involves for instance the lack of positive black role models, visible success stories, the idea that succeeding is a 'white' thing to do.

One black guy being elected President doesn't solve that - you need to see examples of black guys as doctors, lawyers, computer scientists, engineers for it to work. Studies have shown that one of the greatest predictors of whether someone goes on to do a certain career is whether they or their family knows anyone in that profession.

That's why it's important and not 'racist' to proactively point out examples of successful black people. It's not that there aren't successful white people as well - they're visible everywhere, and we recognize them anyway (ever see the Oscars?). We do it because sadly the status quo leaves some people without black role models.
In the words in Inigo, "No, there is too much. Let me sum up."

The goal is to only get the questions the President wants asked to be asked.

My real point is that there's nothing wrong with sharecropping; because you still have your past revenues, until the point the landowner pulls the rug. The implication of GP, that you somehow shouldn't have chosen sharecropping until that point, is totally wrong for the majority of the people who make that choice. (For another example see app developers on Apple's App Store. Nothing wrong with their choice.)

The GP post made it super explicit: "Don't be a sharecropper". Well, why not? This news doesn't mean it wasn't their best choice.
Mitch Kapor founded Lotus, the EFF, Kapor Capital, and the Kapor Center for Social Impact. I don't know exactly where his wife contributed among those things, but they generally refer to themselves as a unit these days so I do, too.

He's invested in UUNET (!), Real Networks, Asana, AngelList, Dropcam, Omada Health, Optimizely, Twilio, and many more startups.

He was the founding chair of the Mozilla Foundation.

And much more. He is a lion of industry, having made his mark across multiple generations. Uber is important, but it's one company whose wins are not yet even solidified. Travis isn't even close to being in the same league yet.
In response to your 2nd paragraph. I work in e-commerce and strongly believe that Amazon uses 3rd party sellers to scout new products. If a seller's product gets too good they run the risk of Amazon moving on it. It's not just that Amazon can get it cheaper, they can afford to sell at a loss for as long as it takes to push out competition.
Why would you post a link which proves my point for me?

>The effort hasn’t been a total blackout; White House press secretary Robert Gibbs still calls on Fox News reporter Major Garrett at press briefings

Obama decided not to go on some Fox talk shows one time which apparently hurt their feelings. It would be truly shocking if we had a president who wasn't nice to the press like that.

Thank god ours constantly reassures reporters that he would never have them killed, even though he hates them and thinks they are disgusting, and he has to remind us that he thinks people who kill reporters are bad people.

He did not ban them from press conferences, in fact his press secretary called on their reporters.

I think what pisses people off is the preponderance of insiders. People who buy Editas before the court results go public, but have enough inside information to deduce Broad would win the ruling. If you think it's impossible for insiders to figure out how a court ruling will go based on private proceedings, you're forgetting that they discovered CRISPR in the first place and are way savvier overall.

It doesn't matter if Broad loses an appeal. It doesn't matter if there is even a single therapy ever developed with Cas9. The stock jumped 29%. Every insider made huge money off information that wasn't public.

You can't go and investigate every trade, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that's what pisses people off. It's not the public good part. Believe me, no one cares about the million other patents the MIT licensing office owns that won't make any money. Nobody even cares about your new invention that will take decades to develop.

They just care about the preposterous get-rich-quick scheme that is the stock market reacting to court cases.
You're right. This could happen tomorrow, if even a small percentage of Excel users suddenly knew how to use it properly. We'd be at 50% unemployment if everyone who uses Excel knew how to take advantage of it.
The President should be nuanced enough to be aware that calling the press an "Enemey of the people" is something tin pot dictators do on the eve of their ascension to power. The phrase is deliberately inflammatory.

I don't have an answer to all your questions, but there will always be a fundamental conflict of interest between privacy & security (of the end user) and market forces. You can hope for more usable systems that are also secure. If you are put off by Tails or usb sticks and different devices, look at QubesOs. They also have a good approach to security, but even they are having a hard time finding hardware that meets their requirements. In the end, you, as an end-user, will have to pick your trade-offs.
Nice to hear! I also use a MVC framework (Grails) with plain old Javascript for DOM manipulations. I have no need for complex bloated frameworks like Angular and React. I do more complex UI with canvas too(where zooming and panning is required).

I agree that web development has never been more fun that it is today, except for Safari with buggy flex implementation and iOS that set position: fixed to absolute and refuse to properly scale the "document" when you want to type some text. Every time I get a bug report these days it is Safari or iOS that doesnt follow the standard. Chrome, Firefox, Edge works great most of the time.
I can't find "ultra-secure" in any of our security certification docs. Is that better or worse than "super-duper secure"?

For security, I don't care whether my traffic as routed over a private network or public web as long as the data is encrypted, because a "private network" is only as private as thousands of miles of fiber and every single network facility it traverses can be. Which means 'not very'.

Does Google build it's own hard drives/SSD's and CPU's? If not, then that's at least 2 other vendors to trust since both CPU's and hard drives are related to hardware security.
After reading the problem, I spent 5 minutes writing a performant, optimized, generic, recursive solution in Java (technically Kotlin). I don't consider that to be one the reasons that I'm a good engineer.
You're confusing ROFR with simple bidding when you use the phrase "steal the deal". VC2 and VC3 are open bidding, and between them whoever bids highest wins (you call it "steals"). ROFR changes this landscape considerably. VC1 doesn't have to put their bid in until the others are locked.

I cited an article explaining how this can steer away competition. Another scenario you might not have considered is that if VC1 would've bid $15M, but the highest other offer is only $10M, then VC1 gets it at $10M.
> When he married an American woman and could then apply for a green card, he figured with his legal background he’d have no trouble filling out the paperwork himself. But the forms were so overly complicated and frustratingly counterintuitive that he gave up and hired an immigration attorney.

When I applied for my green card I thought the whole process was pretty simple and straightforward. I do think it might be harder for someone with more complicated circumstances, or who doesn't speak english as a first language. But I do find it surprising how hard many people with (what seem to me to be) simple cases think it is...
Nice, I'd actually love to use something like that. Do you remember their names?
Counterpoint: not reading/watching reviews is a waste of time.

I don't buy things very often. Especially not in the > $100 category. I don't want to waste time on things that are subpar, but I also don't want to get hobby-grade knowledge of every item I buy. So if I can rely on folks like The Wirecutter to review things for me then I can check them out before I make a purchase and gain some confidence in my purchase for only a few minutes of my time.

Sure, I may get a fluke. I may have an issue with a product from time to time. In the fields they review that overlap with my own hobby interests I may disagree with them over nitpicky details. But those are exceptions, and I can trust myself to catch them. For 90+% of the use case, reviewers are a great use of a few minutes of time.

If you offer less than $50 for something someone else in the market (albeit for a likely unethical purpose) is willing to pay $10k for, what do you expect people to do?

So they were still invited to the briefings and still called on.

That's the worst he did.

>And there is no evidence of any joint strategy by Democrats at either side of Pennsylvania Avenue to coordinate their efforts against Fox.

No additional steps or coordinated effort was made to exclude Fox.

To call this the same thing is disingenuous and incorrect.
That's a good and complicated question. They both are fully ACID-compliant systems. The biggest difference as a developer is that Calvin never blocks reads, contested or not. You get causally consistent single-replica reads with no coordination.

This makes the read performance equivalent to something like Cassandra at CONSISTENCY.ONE, without giving up the cross-partition write linearization of something like Spanner.

He said clearly that he wasn't talking about the entire press, just the people who lie to to the public. If he's the liar, he's ironically talking about himself. If the mainstream media is intentionally lying to deceive people for political purposes, then he would be negligent not to speak against it.

So I'm not disagreeing with you. But this really comes down to the question of who is lying.
What I'm curious about is how this will affect sites that rely on affiliate clicks but more for the 24-hour cookie (ie, where somebody buys anything within a day of clicking the link).

I could see a site like the WireCutter getting lots of clicks to Amazon and then the person not buying that product buy remembering later "hey, I forgot that I need dog food." Well dog food happens to be a 10% commission now, so maybe it isn't as bad as it would seem.

Also, the WireCutter's sister site is the Sweet Home, and I think home goods are now up to a flat 8% rate, so they may not be any worse off.

I wonder if the appropriate response can be found in the medium. Use video instead of words. Rather than writing about Trump or quoting him, perhaps we need more video news, showing him saying the things he says. Make the 'story' from the editing...

at times there is literally one reporter in the room (MLK Bust story). I'm not arguing they should be excluded forever, just think all perspective is lost when dealing with Trump. Somehow CNN being excluded from a gaggle turns into Trump being a dictator at war with the 1st amendment.
