I guess I was hoping for the engineering expert FAQ.

What level of reliability, how, what tradeoff in my table design will I need to make, same thing for availability, correctness and scale.

None of the info in this FAQ allow me to know that CockroachDB is the right choice for me against the competition which advertises the same generic DB marketing terms.

Edit: And yes, I can go and read the documentation and deep dive into the internals myself, but I don't care enough to do so, because I already have DBs that fulfill those use cases that I know off, and I would hope therefore that CockroachDB would make it very quick, easy and in my face to find the info that will make me go: Ah Ha, this is the distinguishing factor and the reason why I might want to favor and care to use CockroachDB the next time I've got such a use case.
Brazil + Apollo + Pipelines. I left (and later boomeranged) and was surprised that the outside world hadn't solved these problems nearly as well. Don't get me wrong, Brazil and Apollo probably are ready for a rethink and rewrite, but they do a great job.
I think this really just comes down to: our thoughts are strongly shaped by external details (including our interactions with them). She mentions a few cases of that, but overlooks many others: the articles and books we read, the conversations we have with others, the process of building and interacting with things (whether physical things, or stuff like software), etc. These are all major factors in developing ideas. Our mental processes can't develop ideas without such inputs, and the character of those inputs play a large role in the ideas developed.
I can’t talk too much about Salesforce and Mulesoft since I’ve never used them and don’t have many clients asking me about them.

When it comes to next-gen security appliances, I see them enhancing the SIEM, but not replacing it. Too many regulations require centralized log management, and organizations depend on a central alerting and monitoring platform. I do see these security platforms making the SIEM cheaper and dumber, though. Whether it’s a storage-based pricing like Splunk or an event Rate pricing like QRadar, licensing costs a lot. Which means it costs a lot to feed a bunch of dumb logs into a system that makes information out of dumb logs. As long as you already have a Palo Alto, you might as well feed the IDPS logs into your SIEM and forget the rest: it’s fewer logs, cheaper licensing, and less hardware needed on the SIEM. You already have the Palo doing the intelligence.

With regards to hybrid clouds that are popular today, you see a lot of SIEMs go to the cloud. You can ship logs cloud-to-cloud, which saves bandwidth backhauling it to the enterprise. It is a challenge for security logging to get data from there though. Oftentimes it costs extra to send logs, or can’t be done at all. Amazon wants you to use Cloudwatch. Microsoft wants you to use Security Center. It’s a pain to centralize it all. That’s going to have to change.
I'm disappointed he didn't say anything about the frequency stabilization issue.

A system based mostly around turbines has the inertia of thousands, maybe millions of tons of spinning metal across the entire grid, which buffers enough energy for control systems (for example controlling how much fuel to inject) to respond to sudden demand changes while maintaining stability.

If everything's solid-state solar, following demand is harder.
> I'm not making a slippery slope argument. I'm asking where you draw the line.

Well, one starting point would be looking at past examples of antitrust action. The AT&T and Standard Oil cases might be instructive.

> What part of the first amendment guarantees me YouTube has to host and monetize my videos?

It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the First Amendment. I think they should either be declared a common carrier (and thus required to serve all without discrimination) or (conversely) they should have their DMCA safe harbor privileges revoked.
The article says that the president has no direct role in the contracting process.
Do you not think people won't figure this out, when they see the manager always serve them in a restaurant, but everyone else gets a normal waitress? When I ask that waitress for the check, and the manager comes instead after fifteen minutes, because he had to be taken from the back room and interrupted from balancing the days take, I won't know?
Libertarianism is an ideology that relies on mental gymnastics.
Slip rings are noisy and wear out. A lot of scanning LIDAR systems use a rotating mirror with stationary electronics to avoid them. You could also use stationary magnets with coils on the rotating part to transmit power (basically a mini-alternator on the spinning side), and IrDA or something to communicate.
Diversity Tips for Startups
No, they are not parallel channels. Generally speaking high tech develops over a multi decade timeframe. Govt agencies like DARPA play a lead role in the earliest phase (often measured in double digit years). VCs pick outputs that have commercial potential and pour money into the sector.

That’s why it’s wrong to just compare the absolute amounts invested — it’s when it’s invested.

> How can it be grosser than trying to smear poop off with a paper towel!?

I understand that with a bidet one must use one's naked fingers to clean the area. That seems substantially grosser than using toilet paper. Then there's the risk of spray going the wrong direction, and of getting one's trousers wet.

A bidet sounds awesome, but terribly impractical. I wonder how people are able to use one so often.

You said He is arguing that the government of Michigan's laws are bad because the Nazis had bad laws.

Which simply isn’t true. He actually said outright:

If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.

Now, you may think that’s garbage, but you’re not free to pretend that he said completely different things he didn’t actually say. Remember how you hate inaccuracy? Do you think that what you were doing before was accurate? How about playing semantic games now with the word “state,” is that accurate?

It isn’t, it’s evasive. So, what are you evading?

Tcl is a household name in the field of EDA tool scripting.

Virtually all software tools designed by Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor include a Tcl REPL/console.

Any task performed in the GUI is actually executed in the REPL, making it easy to replicate a specific flow by just copy/pasting the commands displayed in the REPL into a Tcl script.

To load a script, you simply pass it as an argument when running the software.

I love SMS as an interface (when I'm not talking to "AI"), but it can be risky for companies because 1) SMS/MMS messages are not free, and 2) sending them to consumers is heavily regulated in some places.

Also, it's my understanding that a lot of countries are mostly using messaging services (like Whatsapp) instead of SMS to talk to each other. In those places, SMS support wouldn't be as easy to get people to use.

I suspect its lingering litigation distrust of RAMBUS and association with Stanford connections.

RAMBUS got shafted by the DRAM manufacturers, but they pulled a LOT of shady crap of their own and Stanford was in the thick of it.

While I have no belief that Mike Hamburg was ever in the middle of that, I have some concerns about what might or might not be patented once RAMBUS's lawyers get done with it.

The bit you skipped:

> He went down to his stateroom after his conversation with Schultz, and when he returned to the bridge he said, “All right, I just sent up the latest weather. Let us clear everything off the chart table with the exception of the charts.” Schultz opened the B.V.S. program. As it happened, according to the N.T.S.B. report, because of a software glitch, the map that appeared was the very same map that had come in with the previous download, six hours earlier. The raw data on which it was based was at least 12 hours old.

It sounds like it wouldn't actually have helped if the captain had the per-hour update, because this undetailed software glitch meant the device wasn't showing the updated maps anyway.

The apparent moral of that part of the story is that the B.V.S. charts are past useless and into actively harmful territory, since they may not just be old but instead actively incorrect.
Thanks for your response. As drones crash, sometimes they create plastic debris. I would love to build something myself but I don't have the resource to do so at the moment.

I'm looking to fly a drone over the ocean and don't want it to litter in case it crashes and I won't be able to retrieve it in time.

Hopefully there is demand for a drone like this.
I don't think you have considered this reply.

Imagine getting a code yellow from a line cashier while doing your groceries, because she doesn't like the way you look. So she calls her manager and he has to ring you up, while everyone else is looking at you with daggers in their eyes. She can't say to you WHY she called them, because code yellow means "you look creepy." But hey, you wait their five minutes for him to finish the order while she takes a smoke break.

Any time someone describes something as elegant, they usually are wrong. Real life is too messy for elegant solutions.
Sorry, you just aren't informed on the matter. Not only does the military, CIA and other agencies pour billions in R&D development to SV, the CIA has run a hedge fund for almost 20 years that has significant ownership in hundreds of SV companies.

Here is a list of 219 tech companies owned in whole or part by the CIA hedge fund (just the ones they let us know about):

https://www.iqt.org/portfolio/

Here is their logo, which speaks for itself:

https://www.iqt.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/About-venn-di...

The CIA hedge fund and billions in R&D money are in addition to an unknown portion of the "black budget" controlled by various spy agencies, which is over $80 billion dollars this year.

I'm not sure about mindfulness meditation specifically or what exactly that even refers to, but some people use a mindfulness bell that is rung randomly a few times a day for exactly that purpose. One old form of mindfulness practice is to use breath changing from in to out or out to in as moments of mindfulness. See Centering in Zen Flesh Zen Bones translated by Paul Reps (from a document predating Buddhism):

https://shivayashiva.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/centering-prac...

There is also a kind of meditation practice called "just note gone" where the idea is to start giving absense of stimulation a distinct notice (by noticing when something you had been perceiving is no longer there). I think most sit down and meditate practices tend to focus on that kind of thing (feeling the absense of stimulation as a distinct thing) via different methods.
Diaper services can also be better for the environment and the wallet.

Most common forms of meditation are mindfulness meditations.

A common form of meditation is focusing on your breath. This meditation is composed of two parts, trying to pay attention to breath, and noticing when your mind wanders.

Most people think the most important portion of that exercise is focusing on breath. But in truth it's the second part, the noticing.. The first part is growing your attention, but the second part is practicing your mindfulness.

> Have users pay upfront or pay a subscription. This was how the app stores started and it quickly turned into a race to the bottom for free apps. The market had spoken.

The problem is that the App Store model fails at the commodity stage.

The first stage for an application is that you invented it and no one else has it, so you make a lot of money from the monopoly for a while and recover your initial investment.

Then competitors show up. They're not as good, but they charge less money, so they capture most of the market. So instead of the high quality seller having a hundred million customers at $1, the low quality seller has a billion customers at $0 and the high quality seller is left with half a million customers at $1. And then they go out of business.

This is the worst stage for software, because proprietary-but-free software is terrible. The proprietors don't have the resources to make it great but the users don't have the ownership to improve it themselves, so it's low quality or abusive or both.

The problem is the App Store leaves everything at that stage, when the natural evolution after that point is for proprietary freeware to be replaced by open source alternatives. Because the App Store doesn't make it easy for the minority of users with the technical skill to make minor improvements to the apps they use to do that (and ultimately push the changes upstream), which over time is how GNU/Linux gets good enough to replace proprietary Unix and so on.

So once there is aggressive competition in a space, we end up with spam-laden free-as-in-beer spyware forever instead of making the transition to free-as-in-speech apps that don't abuse the users because if they did the users would just strip out the abusive parts.
