There's a pretty big difference to a point that Landoop's KCQL (Kafka Connect Query Language) and Confluent's KSQL (Streaming SQL for Apache Kafka) are two different products.

- KSQL is a full-fledged Streaming SQL engine for all kinds of stream processing operations from windowed aggregations, stream-table joins, sessionization and much more. So it does more powerful stream processing on Kafka than what Landoop's product supports which is simple projections and filters.

- KSQL can do that because it supports streams and tables as first-class constructs and tightly integrates with Kafka's Streams API and the Kafka log itself. We are not aware of any other products that do that today, including Landoop's tool.

- We will add support for Kafka connectors so you can stream data from different systems into Kafka through KSQL. This will cover what Landoop intended with KCQL (Kafka Connect Query Language.

- Confluent works with several very large enterprises and many of the companies that have adopted Kafka. We worked with those customers to learn what would solve real business problems and used that feedback to build KSQL. So it . models on real-world customer feedback.

- We'd love to hear feedback. Here's the repository https://github.com/confluentinc/ksql and here's the Slack Channel slackpass.io/confluentcommunity - #ksql

Hope that helps!

World's Strongest Man, Mr. Olympia.
I've heard doctors say this, but they never cite evidence. But there is a wealth of evidence that says that doctor performance drops significantly with motor performance being harmed so much as to increase the number of errors and excess movements. I'll add the citation at the end, but it's not about the single study; it's about the fact that there is little evidence to the contrary and lots of evidence saying it's the case. If this were a drug, we'd be prescribing it every which way.

And most importantly, know that this is not necessary. American doctor supply is restricted by the AMA. America could suck the best doctors out of many other nations if it so desired and its healthcare practitioners would be better rested, more mentally well, and far less error prone.

Companies have been selling general ads for decades. Billion dollar industries have been created on selling General Viewer Ads.

I always found it fascinating that a TV Channel can sell Ads with out any real tracking any real data on the individuals users watching the ad, and they can sell these ads for $$$$$$$

Yet you tube which has much higher viewer numbers than any TV Channel can not seem to sell ads at all, the ads are of low quality, and they need to be ultra targeted.

At the end of the day though, if they can not find away to market their ad space with out tracking me and knowing every detail of my life well then they need to simply exit the market.

There is zero justification for building these types of databases, they should be resisted as strongly as possible, and we need to institute much strong data security and privacy regulations on how the data is collected, stored and used. Including the ability to require all services to allow individuals to audit the information they are collecting about them and to force a company to delete all information about them if the user wishes to stop using the services.

Yeah there are a lot of applications I can see that wouldn't need anything more than a flat square, maybe with a video overlaid on it. Not everything needs high-poly normal-mapped graphics with ambient occlusion and 4x AA and 10x AF.

I was fixing a fence last weekend, and man it would have been nice to have an AR overlay of where the next board should be placed and where to put the screw when I can't see the board it's sinking into. That doesn't need realistic graphics, it just needs to be mobile.

For VR, I mean Fruit Ninja was a really popular game for a long time.
They're in an innovator's dilemma because they (all the established players) have a huge advantage in drivetrain/engine technology (which is very difficult to replicate) vs any newcomer that they would be giving up if/when the market moves to full electric and motors.
The most important thing about email is that you get your own, immutable copy of every message. You can keep your copy and know that it will be exactly the same when you look at it next week, it won't have been silently (or even not silently) "corrected".

It's both a blessing and a curse, as anybody who's accidentally emailed the wrong people or hit send before finishing editing knows, but it's the most powerful thing about email (and SMS or even fax for that matter!) - you get your own copy.
Whatever made you think that tech industry is a beacon symbolizing all the good things about humanity!

FWIW, this is a feature on coinbase-- you can just have them ACH charge your bank account a fixed amount each day, each week, each month, etc (each hour maybe?).

Unfortunately the better deal is moving that money to GDAX and buying there... which is a bit hard to do at $11 a day.
I am not an expert but I know many pilots, watch only documentaries, read research papers almost exclusively, and have stayed in a Best Western.

NTSB is, as far as I understand, actually very careful about not blaming anyone. They look for causes and solutions, not blame. They, as far as I know, pride themselves on this.

They try, again inasmuch as I know, to not blame a person - but to blame a process. This is not a distinction without difference. It fosters an attitude of cooperation and openness.

Again, I'm not an expert but I know a bunch of pilots and listen when they speak. If the NTSB blamed people, I suspect they'd have a lesser willingness to speak positively about NTSB.

Edit: Someone beat me to it. I will leave this as I think it offers a bit more of a comprehensive view.

Courts never make mistakes in science?

As I kid I visited a broadcast transmitter up on the mountains with its own hydropower generator. There was staff on-site who had worked there for years. How long do you think is needed to compare working 8 hours a day at a 500kW radio transmitter broadcasting all the time vs. holding a smartphone or using wifi with only a few hundred milliwatts? (mW values at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm .) Again, there's enough RF power from the transmitter to make a florescent bulb glow.

The biophysics would pretty incredible, even unbelievable, for a certain geometry and frequency to make a difference. Microwaves are a few centimeters long, and longer than sperm or even the testes. What mechanism could make them so specific to frequency?

But putting that aside, different countries use different frequencies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies says "Many GSM phones support three bands (900/1,800/1,900 MHz or 850/1,800/1,900 MHz) or four bands (850/900/1,800/1,900 MHz), and are usually referred to as tri-band and quad-band phones, or world phones; with such a phone one can travel internationally and use the same handset.")

If there were a significant problem with one specific frequency then it would appear in an epidemiology comparison.

Fundamentally though, your line of questioning can have no end. What if it only affects people with one of about 30 point mutations? What if it's only for those who have a diet with an excess of selenium? What if it's only at a certain power level? What if ... what if .. what if?

Each of these is hard to test, and given the difficulty of the biophysics it's hard to justify spending a lot of money when other options, including "More refined sugar?" and "Less physical activity?", seem more likely.
Mind clarifying what you mean by changes to events?

If you create a STREAM or TABLE using KSQL, it makes sure that they are kept updated with every single event that arrives on the source Kafka topics.

That's what you'd expect in a true event-at-a-time Streaming SQL engine, which is what KSQL is.
This is tit-for-tat.

Always start by cooperating and then do the same as the other party : cooperate if he does, retaliate if he doesn't. It is the most effective strategy in both games.
>Statistically unlikely

You forget that the US is run by someone that makes policy 140 characters at a time and is proud to be "the most militaristic person there is".

So while I agree with your Scotch plan being better I still think they're getting bombed to hell.
Oh I understand it wasn't Bannon's original realization. I'm sure the US realized the situation as soon as spy planes saw them putting the artillery in place. He was just the most recent person to describe the situation to the public.
America does not spend it's taxes wisely. You can live in Canada for a similar tax load as a lot of people in California, yet not have universal healthcare, drive on roads that are in horrible conditions, deal with a horrible DMV, see a lot of obviously mentally ill people not being taken care of and live in unsafe conditions with a lot of bad school systems. There are also a lot of tax rules that are not nice to deal with that you don't have to deal with in Canada.

I think people don't mind taxes nearly as much if they feel like they are getting good value for their money. In the USA, you feel like your just getting shafted by the government half the time. In Canada not so much.
You may wish to edit your first reply. "The previous generation assumes..."
Far from being impossible, the challenges that you mention have fairly straightforward solutions. Every cloud hosting provider that executes user-supplied virtual machines is employing practical technology that can solve this problem today.

I'd represent the code as a virtual machine image. Let the researcher work however they want. When they're done, they take a virtual machine snapshot of their execution environment. We provide some tooling so that running the "manifest" in this execution environment (re-)produces all of their computational results. Thus, think of research as a "build" process that runs analysis and produces output. Ideally this build would also compile any necessary source code before running the compiled applications in the context of research data.

Far from being "limited", researchers can run any code that can run on a cloud hosting provider today. To ensure portability, the VM image will include a versioned copy of (or reference to) the kernel (e.g. Linux) and all of the userland libraries that are used by the software (e.g. Python). Think of it like a self-describing Linux container, like a Kubernetes Pod [1] or Docker Container. The image fully describes the software running on the system; it's a precise copy. With this machine image, we can run code in the same execution environment that the researcher used.

Have you ever run a very old NES or SNES game on a Nintendo DS, or on your PC in an emulator? It's the same concept.

The researcher's data is stored directly within the virtual machine image, or is represented as a virtual data drive that's mounted in the virtual machine. When this approach becomes influential and widely adopted, researchers will represent their code as containers throughout the development process. The researcher won't just run Jupyter (or Matlab or whatnot) on a random machine, they'll e.g. run Jupyter in a carefully packaged minimal container that was designed for reproducibility.

> Code bit rots.

"Bit rot" is a phenomenon that references the difficulty of maintaining code as environment and system change around it. It doesn't directly apply to our scenario. A virtual image containing a Python 1.0 program running on version 1.0 of Linux will continue to work indefinitely, just like an old SNES game. New software releases don't affect our ability to run old software -- they just make it harder to mix the two together. Furthermore, we can even run the program while passing different (modern) data as input! We've already made huge progress over where we are today.

Sure, if we want to adapt that code to a newer version of Python and Linux, then we have work to do, but that's a different problem than reproducibility. There's no free lunch; nothing can make that problem go away. But if we do want to adapt the researcher's algorithm to another language or platform, then we have a huge advantage: we can run the researcher's actual code with their actual data and get the very same result! That's huge! That will make it far easier to confidently adapt their algorithm to a new environment.

The Futility of Emergence
NYT and Netflix are an exceptional value at $10 a month, but those are large scale consumer content. In the B2B content space, any content that saves folks a couple of hours a week is worth a LOT of money.

in this case, $10-25 a month is nothing... really, it's like zero dollars in the context of a business executive making six figures.

Which means, taking say $100 out of each paycheck and investing all of it on that day. You're not timing the market then, the money wasn't available prior to that. You're not paying attention to the price, you're just getting the price on that day.

This is what dollar cost averaging usually means... assuming prior money was already invested.

But when you have a lump sum, instead of putting it all in on that exact day you can DCA over a short period of time, like 2-5 days or 3 weeks. This is basically averaging over that period which is better than the chance of just happening to pick the wrong day to buy.
And it's also called "Autopilot" which sets an extremely different tone and expectation than other driver-assistance/safety technologies.
This leads to the next thing. Violating Japan's airspace with a missile may be a provocation for war. If that's the case, you're going to hear from our (US) president that we're officially going to war or conflict with North Korea. Unfortunately, in this case, I believe that Bannon is right.

I think you're observing Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy, which I guess could be stated pithily as "The goal of every bureaucracy is to become self-sustaining. Those that don't are replaced by those that do":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle#Iron_Law_of_Bu...

It's interesting that another active comment thread on the HN front page today is about evolutionary game theory & the selfish gene. I'd posit that there's a whole class of "evolutionary systems", subject to the axioms of 1.) large numbers 2.) random variation 3.) selection bias and 4.) competitive pressure. And any such system will always tend toward survival and maintenance of the status quo as its primary imperative, for the simple, tautological reason that those organizations that don't are replaced by those that do. This operates on multiple levels, from the molecule to the gene to the cell to the individual to the firm to the bureaucracy to the society as a whole. Oftentimes, behavior that makes no sense on one level seems obvious if you consider the "actor" to be the level above or below what you're looking at: the gene instead of the individual, or the firm instead of the individual, or the society instead of the firm.

In your example, for instance, the primary actor whose survival that the bureaucracy optimizes for isn't the individual: it's the bureaucracy itself. Individuals who serve their own interests instead of the bureaucracy are rejected and fired, as are individuals who serve the other individuals that the bureaucracy supposedly benefits. Why? Because bureaucracies without this incentive structure are replaced by bureaucracies with it.

And there actually are plenty of areas within U.S. society where bureaucracies are not the primary actors. The individual is still valued over the firm or bureaucracy within therapy culture, artist communities, fandom, Internet forums, dinner parties, and many other social contexts. But because there is no central bureaucracy or organization to point to, these niches fall off our radar screen; niches where individual humans remain dominant are by definition areas without enough resources to support a bureaucracy.

Baumol's cost disease is different, and IMHO a more short-term ailment that's afflicting developed economies as they transition to the information age. This phenomena of growing ever more complex systems on top of individuals is pervasive, and will continue to happen as long as the population keeps growing.

Maybe an e-dirt bike. Based on your preference of the ride of a bike over scooter, a dirt bike may be what you are looking for. The ones I have seen are built for actual tracks and off-road, but they might make some street legal versions or certainly you could install the light features and other equipment required to comply with your specific state law as many do with traditional gas powered dirt bikes.

Edit: I probably should have mentioned cost as the e-dirt bikes are not really in the same range as any scooter or e-bike I've come across.

Who knows what the marketing blender will do to these terms but this is what they've traditionally been:

VR - Virtual Reality. Your field of view is completely blocked by a display that shows you something completely artificial. Pro: Complete visual virtual immersion. Cons: No idea what's going on outside.

AR - Augmented Reality. You look through glasses that have a transparent display of some kind. Virtual objects are placed into the real environment right in your field of view. Pro: No latency view of the real world. Con: Aligning objects and keeping latency low enough to blend well is hard!

HUD - Heads Up Display. You look through glasses that have a transparent display of some kind. Virtual objects are placed onto the display, but not into the real environment right in your field of view. Pro: Can display various pieces of data where you are looking anyway. Con: Not meant to align or register with anything you are looking at.

MR - Mixed Reality. Your field of view is completely blocked by a display. Cameras capture the real environment and present them on the display where virtual objects are mixed into the capture. Pro: Mixing the environment and keeping things synced is easier than AR. Con: The display will be just a hair behind what you would normally see so it can feel a bit off.
