I think your post hints at a general schizophrenia in the latest, culture-war-fueled push against Facebook. On the one hand, the public debate is still significantly dominated by the old guard of anti-Facebook activists, whose objectives can be summarised as "Facebook's power over its users must be reduced". On the other, the renewed interest in doing /something/ about Facebook in the wake of Cambridge Analytica and fake news (and, before that, cyberbullying, stalking, harassment...) essentially amounts to "Facebook's power over its users must be exercised to quell evil". More often than not, the two are actually diametrically opposed (as when quelling evil turns out to require an increase in power). A hypothetical actually usable decentralised social network would advance the former cause, and, as you pointed out, set back the latter.

Helium is a strange bird. Every other element in liquid form will freeze if you drop the temperature enough, except Helium. You must greatly pressurize Helium for it to freeze. It is worth pointing out that while the atomic radius of Helium is smaller than Hydrogen, Helium is still the heavier element. It’s small radius and tendency to remain a gas or liquid makes it very useful in testing for leaks or as a purging gas.
While I am also jaded at the mention of "IoT" these days, I think he tied it down to the concrete well enough, in discussing "time series data".

I live at the base of a mountain, and hike every day after work. I spent all last summer exploring every park in my state, and was on the news as an expert guide for some of the outdoor activities in my area. So you are presuming a lot by your response.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but depending on their individual performance and security needs layers are usually either (a) libraries embedded into their clients, (b) services colocated with their clients, (c) services running in a separate tier, or (d) services co-located with fdbservers. In any of these cases they use the FoundationDB client to communicate with FoundationDB.
for the sake of argument i will go with the opposite idea - why not? Do you have evidence that scaling up will fail to produce more intelligence? We already know that the current deep networks (small,compared to the brain) produce fragments of intelligent behavior. we also have evidence that the brain is a connectionist system much much larger than the current ANNs. It would follow logically that intelligence could arise by simply scaling up.

Summary without buzzwords:

TimescaleDB is an extension that brings the automatic partitioning (which is common in data warehouses) to Postgres. It is more scalable and reliable than doing it yourself using normal PG partitioning features. Timescale is similar to Citus, which can also auto-shard tables, but is more focused on time as the primary dimension, along with helper functions for easier bucketing and analysis. Unlike Citus, it's currently limited to a single node.

The biggest benefit is being able to use Postgres with your other operational data so you can avoid ETL and simplify your stack. It will also greatly improve insert performance since recent data is in small partitions with indexes in memory. This will not match the scale and performance of a fully distributed data warehouse with time as a partitioning key, but will work for most general timeseries looking at a recent time window.

Whether your data comes from IoT devices, blockchain transactions, or some other source doesn't matter. If you want to try this extension, Aiven makes it easy: https://aiven.io/blog/turn-aiven-postgresql-into-time-series...
Correlation not causation
Agree there’s a need for this beyond Slack profiles and bad HR portals.
It's a reasonable response. Some companies simply can't afford to pay higher - if you don't have VC money, for instance.

It may well be that they can't afford someone who can build statistical models, but they can probably get someone more junior who's willing to learn. The new hire gets paid and gets experience, the company gets the job done. There are plenty of (experienced) people for whom money is not the prime motivator.

I would look at it a different way: if a company offers you a below-market rate, would you get paid a lot more if you can add significant value to the company in a year or two? Is the gamble of being underpaid in a small company worth it for you?

Letter to Georgia Governor on Why He Should Veto Dangerous Cybersecurity Bill
I think about this a lot. Here's a little brain dump:

Too many people are playing a numbers game, which creates a lot of noise. The noise makes it easy to miss good connections.

Inexperienced people (on both sides) are looking for the wrong things and just like it is w/ love, a lot of us need to learn the hard way. Wanting to date the most popular guy/girl in school is the equivalent of wanting to work at a "company everyone knows."

A few years later, we want to meet someone who is "ambitious, interesting, and has a good sense of humor," which is maybe like wanting to work at a company in an industry you can get behind. It's less superficial, and we have some direction here, but it's still too vague. (A lot of people are drawn to health and education not because they're truly passionate about either, but simply because it'll be easier find purpose/meaning.)

After a heartbreak or two, we finally figure out what our deal breakers are. Examples: I can't date anyone who cares a lot about fashion. I'm very attracted to people who dress well, but it turns out prioritizing it means attention and money is spent in ways I can't get on board w/. Similarly, I can't work anywhere that has a lot of mandatory meetings. Counter intuitive because I'm very extroverted and social, but meetings destroy my productivity. I would have never known these things 10 years ago.

Resumes and "dating profiles" don't give us a full picture. What we really want to know is: "Are we truly compatible? Are our goals and values truly aligned?" Those things take time, introspection, and research. However, it feels like job searching/sourcing/recruiting is going in the complete opposite direction (ie. "let's email 1k engineers every day, maybe 1% will respond").

This creates the noise that makes it hard for people who've figured out what they are looking for to find it.
Biggest difference for me is that MySQL always pushed a simpler user structure while most *nix Postgres packages prefer having corresponding native OS users by default (PAM vs password auth). Also, it always seemed easier to migrate/upgrade MySQL data folders compared to Postgres ones. The specifics aren’t coming to mind right now, though. Finally I know way too many folks who prefer phpMyAdmin, especially when provided from their cheap shared hosting provider.

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer Postgres generally too, but I can definitely see wins to MySQL on ease-of-use. Especially the less standard but more forgiving SQL syntax and simple DESCRIBE commands. Yes the quirks add up for MySQL but Postgres has its share of quirks too.

The solution to the first point is to go to a place that already has an IT department.

The second (making a bottom-line impact) is probably a non-issue. If it's not a tech company, that means they are likely failing to use tech fully, in places that really could benefit from it. Automate stuff that needs it, and quantify the time saved as:

(time it took before - time it takes now) * number of times each person has to do it per week * number of people * what those people get paid / what you get paid = time T you saved in a week, in terms of your own hours.

Each time you do something, add its T value to a running total. Likely an hour here, an hour there. Eventually it hits 40 and you and the managers can clearly see that your employment is paying for itself. Keep going and you're making them money.

Jesus. Hasn't the Randian philosophy been deconstructed enough?

No income tax for someone that earns $1m+, but taxes on those who earn less? In what entirely silver-spoon-born-and-bred entitled mind does this possibly make sense?

Taxes create the infrastructure that makes society possible and the bigger the business / industry, the more it requires basic infrastructure in order to grow or maintain itself.

What more do people earning $1m+ want? Can they not sustain themselves and their families on $1m per year? Do they want to create enough value that their children no longer need to work? If so, then what of their value of hard work? What about the natural instinct of bequeathing their role as "boss" to one of their children? That doesn't feel earnt to me?

What of the large financial institutions role in money laundering and sub-prime mortgage disasters and where that has left the 99%?

Look at some of the findings of the banking royal commission in Australia to see the kinds of things large financial institutions do as run-of-the-mill if they're not regulated. These institutions are run by people earning significant coin and take advantage of those who are already struggling financially - the very reason they seek advice / help on financial matters.

I'm making assumptions above and targeting financial institutions above others, but the article name-dropped Goldman Sachs, and the golden parachutes and massive salaries that the kinds of people he's talking about already get make it sound as if he's complaining about how the silver spoon tastes.

The author of the article is a member of the Ayn Rand Institute. Which likely means he was converted as a teenager and hasn't been able to question these beliefs as that gets more difficult and depressing as one ages.

Also:
Harry Binswanger was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. He is an heir to the Binswanger Glass Company, founded in 1872 by Samuel Binswanger

In that context, this article sounds like "waaaaah, I'm hard-done-by, taxes are holding me back, government help me - by intervening as a government that doesn't believe in intervening"
As a hiring manager, can confirm. I am selective about roles I open up to external recruiter submissions, but those that I do, I am entirely indifferent between candidate A who was sourced internally (no additional fee to me) and candidate B who was submitted by an external. If candidate B has any edge over candidate A, I'm not going to even think about the 20-33% of first year comp when making the decision.

I'd say throw in something about student debt relief / free public college (community college or online college even).

But I think we're just back to the Senator Sanders' platform at this point. It will be interesting to see if those proposals are more appealing to the "mainstream" democratic party now that he and Clinton are out of the picture (hopefully). I'd hope so, but dems always find a way to disappoint me.
That's a good point. But this sounds a lot like user blocking tools?

At one time, making sure that users could block other users on the same social network might have seemed like it might enough to prevent abuse and keep social networks out of the moderation business. Users that don't get along can just block each other. Good enough?

Maybe not. You say you know the "worst case" but that might not be imaginative enough? There are apparently people nastier than that, and they're creative, and they gang up.

Yeah, when I read about that I thought it sounded neat—make sure the index updates with the data. On the other hand, I think of CAP theorem as an iron triangle. If you are gaining consistency, what’s the trade off?
> DDL statements, atomic or otherwise, implicitly end any transaction that is active in the current session, as if you had done a COMMIT before executing the statement.

That sounds horrifying. Implicitly committing transactions could very well leave the database in an undefined / inconsistent state, no? That is, from the applications view, if I do:

BEGIN;
STATEMENT A;
STATEMENT B;
END;

I would expect either both or neither to succeed, but that paragraph would suggest that A could succeed, and the transaction be committed. (And who knows after that?)

Am I missing something?
Unfortunately I think the best option currently is to download and build open-source extensions yourself and add them in developer mode, but Chrome will bother you about running developer extensions every time you start the browser so that's not ideal.

My own strategy is just to limit the number of extensions I use to a small number of ones from established/trusted entities, but it pains me because I publish a couple extensions and I am not an established entity.

> The US doesn’t “give” it to nearly everyone — you get a benefit as a proportion of your contribution.

It's not proportional to even the wage-indexed total of contributions, because of bend points. (And because it's actually based on qualifying wages, not contributions, and the relationship between the two has not been constant over time.)
In this case, India said they'd do the launch only if the US agreed. All nations care about orbital debris, and in India's case, the only way they get warnings about potential collisions is because the US makes collision warnings from US radar data available to everyone for free.

Actually, reducing the concentration of capital by redistributing it's returns is part of it, and in that view preventing control of the pre-redistribution gains by an increasingly narrow class is part of the goal.
The Godfather of Sexist Pseudoscience
I believe that you’re thinking of Helium. As @deelowe said, the issues with a Hydrogen are safe and stable storage, and the tendency of Hudrogen to penetrate metals and make them brittle. Producing hydrogen is trivial with electrolysis or water, which could be achieved using nuclear and renewable power sources. Of course burning coal to produce Hydrogen is currently cheaper and more common, and an environmental disaster.

The problem with Hydrogen is that you want to store it in big, strong metal containers, but it destroys the container and leaks out. So instead you store it in composite fiber containers, but then you have an explosive gas under pressure in a vessel that can be cracked.

This is part of the reason that research tends to focus on processes within fuel cells which produce hydrogen JIT, so you obviate the need to produce and store large volumes. The problem with that is the need for more power input than you get out, or the need for expensive catalysts like Platinum.

tl;dr

With current tech you need nuclear power to efficiently produce large volumes of Hydrogen, but that’s a political minefield.

Storing Hydrogen is a nightmare.

Hydrogen explodes, and peolle are rightfully wary of carrying and transporting it in large volumes.

The kinds of containers which are affordable and practical are made of materials Hydrogen readily attacks.
