70 metro areas. In a given metro area there might be one major traffic exchange point and de-facto most important peering location (example: SeattleIX in Seattle, and the Westin), or in a larger metro area, multiple exchange points.

Because if raw performance is your main selection criteria for a web framework you shouldn't be using either of them.
It's gold plated because they basically built their own ISP by acquiring either:

a: dark fiber IRUs between cities/metro areas

b: N x 10 and 100 Gbps wavelengths as L2 transport services from city to city, from a major carrier such as level3 or zayo

c: some combination of A and B

and they use that to build backbone links between their own network equipment that they have full control over. Google is its own AS and operates its own transport network around the US 48 states and around the world.

the exact design of what they're doing within their own AS at layers 1 and 2 is pretty opaque unless you happen to be a carrier partner that is willing to violate a whole raft of NDAs. But basically they've built their own backbone to a very massive scale yet without the huge capital expense of actually laying their own fiber between cities.

their network has incredibly low jitter because they don't run their links to saturation, and know EXACTLY what the latency is supposed to be from router interface to router interface between the pairs of core routers that are installed in each major city. Down to five decimal places, most likely. When you have your own dark fiber IRUs and operate your own WDM transport platforms you are in possession of things like OTDR traces for your dark fiber that tells you down to four decimal places the km length of your fiber path.

It also helps that the sort of people who have 'enable' on the AS15169 routers and core network gear are recruited from the top tier of network engineers and appropriately compensated. If they weren't working for Google they would be working for another major global player like NTT, DT, France Telecom/Orange, SingTel or Softbank.
That's what I'm seeing. It's better if they break the ideas up, try to understand them from a lay perspective, and then build a graphic novel on that. This will likely get nowhere for general population.

Before you get deeply into what you are going to sell, consider how you are going to market it. Marketing is a * * *!

I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware that it is a large component of the use case. The very typical prototype in jupyter .. to ..Rewrite in production code is shortened significantly by doing this.

All the tools already exist in jupyter - except one: lightweight multiuser. I would argue that building this is going to be a fairly trivial thing for you guys (as compared to other features you build), but the end user benefit is immense.

Jupyter becomes much more than an interactive scratchpad - it becomes a full blown prototyping environment for data science and reporting. I would say, you would even go against tableau in a lot of use cases.

Please do think about it. My company will be happy to contribute to a gofundme on this.

The argumentative theory of reasoning and AI
(Note: not to be confused with "Argumentation theory", the interdisciplinary study of how conclusions can be reached through logical reasoning)

Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber say that human reasoning has evolved not for individuals to solve their own problems but instead as a social tool that allows individuals to argue with each other and reach conclusions.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/social-design/201108/reasoning-is-more-intuitive-we-think

The ramifications for AI remain to be fleshed out, but if supportable, Mercier and Sperber's argumentative theory of reasoning may indicate a reduced role in AI for explicit inference and a stronger role for intuition in the form of ML, pattern recognition and classification.

Spend a few days identifying problems people pay for, particularly easy problems that you can build yourself. The key is that the solution has to be fairly easy to build since you're not comfortable full-stack. Once you've chose a solution that already makes money solving a problem, build the same solution but position it for either a niche market or make a better product than competitors.

I would at minimum leverage bootstrap or semantic ui as your ui. Otherwise, hire someone to do the web interface for you.

No it's not. The US gift tax is widely misunderstood.

In the US, any gifts over $5.49 million
over the course of your lifetime is taxed.

Any gift over $14k in a single year needs to be disclosed to the IRS, but it's not taxed. They're just keeping track of it in case you hit the $5.49 million lifetime cap, and they reduce the amount of your estate tax exemption by that amount.

It's all set up to stop people from avoiding the estate tax by gifting a lot of their wealth while alive.
I was very pleased with Twitter's stream. I'd say it was one of the best quality NFL streams I ever seen. Not in so much terms of resolution per se but in terms of quality - lack of compression artifacts, stuttering and so on. And the audio was fine.
yes, though "metro" is a better way to define it since many IXes are geographically distributed throughout their city. For example DE-CIX in frankfurt is in many different datacenters, with their core switches connected by DE-CIX controlled dark fiber. AMS-IX in amsterdam is in many facilities in the same metro area, all the same L2 peering fabric. The SIX in Seattle is in three facilities in the same metro and several local ISPs have built their own extensions of it to Vancouver BC.

I assume user numbers aren't audited in the same way that financial information is (that is, with GAAP and external auditing). For example, I looked at Facebook's Q3 Form 10-Q, and there wasn't anything there about user numbers.

It would be interesting if publicly-traded companies could have a "key metric", a non-monetary, objective (so, not stuff like "user satisfaction"), numeric, auditable value that the company says "This number is stated as firmly and as clearly as our Financials. Judge us on this.", and which is included in the 10-series forms (10-K and 10-Q).

Of course, you might not trust such a number, but this makes falsification much more dangerous.

this. There are so many costs to operating a service like this.
In my ideal fantasy world, we wouldn't have terms of service; instead, we would be given a structured 'legal code' file, which encodes the terms and conditions as unambiguously as possible.

I could add my personal preferences to my local licenseconfig; for instance, I want to own everything created using software on my machine, and I don't want companies to be able to sell my data, regardless of whether it is anonymized.

Now when I install software, my license daemon alerts me if that software's legal code might conflict with my preferences, and gives me the option of clarifying my configuration, making an exception, or cancelling the installation.
> The OSI model doesn't say anything about where I run my routing algorithm and BGP application vs. where my actual switches are.

If you're $BIGASN and you set up an intra building singlemode crossconnect at $BIGCITY to establish settlement free peering (let's say for example a 4 x 10 Gbps bonded 802.3ad circuit) with $OTHERBIGASN, they most assuredly are going to notice if your BGP session and router is not directly on the other end of that cable.

Because they are going to be expecting sub-1ms latency to your router, and not "we're taking this session and stuffing it in some sort of tunnel or encapsulation and sending it somewhere else, to where the thing that actually speaks BGP is located". It's bad juju to practice deceptive peering.

I wont comment on what, but on how:

- If the datasets are imaging, there should be enough per class for typical ML techniques. Otherwise you just get people over-fitting models on sets of 500 images and the illusion of progress.

- I'm quite happy with the Kaggle datasets generally, but why do others make consuming data so difficult. Heck, if we've already received the data, lets just take it the last mile and make it consumable with obvious labeling, standard formats, etc. This is such a pet peeve of mine that -- if you need help taking datasets to the last mile -- i'm volunteering, ask me to help make it presentable. Ideally it should be pull-able via curl/etc, unzippable and be able to get into a pipeline w/o manual effort.
You can start with what you already know and then build over it, or diversify, with time. The easiest way to monetize your knowledge to create a blog and link it up with social media (twitter, FB, youtube etc).

For example, you can write about management and backend data processing (what you do at work). This way, you don't have to learn something new to start your side project (except maybe how to manage a blog). The blog can be monetized via Ad networks like Adsense and Amazon affiliate program etc. As you grow, you may take in direct advertisers, sponsored content etc.

If you own a space online and want to remove distasteful or offensive material, that's completely your right. But don't frame it as bullying, or any sort of persecution.

Ah, sounds like you are again thinking about bitemporal reasoning over relational data.

We are not really built for that use case. Instead of focusing on fundamentally relational data such as people or jobs (which you are free to store alongside our stuff, using plain postgres functionality), we store event or metrics data. This data can be easily joined against the relational data (e.g., using a person_id stored in both event and relational tables).

I haven't seen the movie, but somebody really needs to turn down the artificial film grain in the linked video here.

That's always been a completely unnecessary, distracting, and detail-killing option that I've never seen value in. Unless there's some stylization required for artificial aging or something, visuals should be as clear as the union of all sources can muster. Modern digital cinematic cameras have almost no film grain effect compared to old actual film, especially since we're usually talking about 24fps and studio lighting.
I've visited a few Commonwealth nations (I'm an American) and what strikes me as amusing is the way in which they monopolize the local media. You would think that it would be cheap in a "free media" environment to just retransmit US (or UK) media and not bother with local content production- but that never happens. They all have their own government controlled media content outlets.

I guess the point I'm making is that in general the TV tells people what to think - and each country is very careful to ensure that it says the right things, even if there is a "free press".

By the way the same goes for the US - it's pretty likely that lots of US folk would watch foreign English media but somehow it's just "not available".

What's Really Driving the Trade Deficit with China
In practice you're right, i call people what they indicate their designation to be. Where I work we've had a person call themselves something like "Grand Wizard-Admiral of the Terran System" - some people like a pompous name.

If a person is an MD, professor, and such then that's totally acceptable. If the designation is "the Queen says you have to call me sir now" I don't really see what business it is of the Queen's or that it's more respectful to recognise a person because "the Queen smiled at them" than recognising their actual work/effort as fellowship of a learned society does.

Most distributed SQL databases fall into 2 uses: large data-warehouse and scalable primary data store.

For DW needs (including time series), MemSQL is still the best option for distributed SQL unless you absolutely need postgres features. Proprietary w/mysql flavor but integrated columnstore + memory rowstore built for performance and fantastic ops management software makes it a great system. Also has interesting kafka and s3 ingest pipelines.

For an operational db, Citus is a great scale-out option for postgres. You can combine it with cstore to get columnar compression for DW use but at that point it's better to just use a more focused product. There's also CockroachDB which looks good (if it ever gets out of beta). I'd also recommend ScyllaDB + JanusGraph once both mature to get a scalable multi-master graph database if HA/reliability/replication are a big concern.

Timescale DB is interesting and it's always nice to see more options, but right now there are better data warehouse options already that work just fine for time series + SQL. A built-in columnstore would go a long way to making it competitive though.
that approach has its own dangers (that at least need to be carefully guarded against): getting stuck in local maxima, incoherence, user attention fatigue, vulnerability to disruption, etc

I don't give a shit if it's highly rated. The Chainsmokers are also highly rated and completely critically empty as well, just like Candy Crush. To compare the two is lunacy, it's the difference between Windows Media Player coming with Bach sample music versus Nickelback. Thousands of people downloading something is no excuse for advertising it and forcing it down the throats of probably millions more paying customers. It sets a bad precedent for Microsoft either way because they're supposed to be the company that supports Freedom Zero where Apple doesn't, and yet increasingly your use of their software is contingent on accepting ugly and invasive advertising. This is also why "you can turn it off" is a non-criticism. "You can turn it off" is an acceptable response to Siri being included with macOS, I shouldn't even have to deal with advertisements in the first place.
