What you've done is not at all close to the solutions I already have, so it's exactly what I was looking for. On the one hand it's very much more complex, but on the other hand it's a more generic and general solution.

The solutions I have are elsewhere in this thread, sometimes in disguise, and I'm gestating a blog post which I'll eventually submit. If you want to know more feel free to email me - address is in my profile.

Added in edit: I would add that your code gives no hint as to why the solution should be unique.
Or from the perspective of someone who has to run for election:

Candidate A says, "We need to cut benefits now to make sure the pension has enough money in the future." Candidate B says, "No we don't." Everyone votes for Candidate B.

It's not like we accidentally elected people who don't value the long term. It's that voters don't value the long term when there's real short term money at stake.

Why is there a fourth option for banks and not for pensions? Why is Quantitative Easing left out of this discussion?
What “horse-shit” are they peddling? If they’re saying that vaccine programs are being used by the US to kill people, they’re right. That’s the whole problem: it’s no longer horse-shit.
I’ve got some - how long it takes to model your domain, how quickly you need an answer, how good the quality of your raw data is, whether your data is append only and/or all of it already exists, and lastly, for how long the solution needs to last.

S3 + SQL is good for huge log/machine data, exploratory use cases that are not yet productionized, ELT (to get data from raw files into SQL, used as a feed to later layers), quick and dirty SQL against a directory of similarly structured files. I tend to think of it as a utility layer.

For long term analytics use, that involves a domain model, I’d still stick with dimensionally modeled (or snowflake) data warehouse techniques. Getting data into such a model can take weeks to months, so sometimes it might be better to do something quick and dirty in a data lake to prove a dataset or get a quick answer, vs. slow down the business waiting for a perfect model.

Lastly, I see storage + SQL as being the same conceptually as any RDBMS, with different performance, cost, and functionality. For example, SQL Server proprietary disk format + SQL Server query engine is somewhat analogous to Parquet + PrestoDB. In fact many proprietary vendors integrate with HDFS as a distributed storage layer for their proprietary formats which can be queried alongside open source storage formats by proprietary SQL query engines too.
People started “compromising” on those principles when they realised it wasn’t the 1700s any longer, that the internet had given anyone with a computer access to the sort of message amplification Goebbels could only have dreamed of, and that democratic society was being damaged by contextless application of principles intended to protect it.

The parallels with certain other principles written for a time of flintlocks that have unintended consequences in an era of assault weapons should not be ignored.
I know that the tuning you made is probably very context-dependent, but could you elaborate a bit on what kind of things you tuned up?

I am about to start using ES for a project and just knowing which kinds of things could be useful to tune would be helpful.

You could increase the taxes on pensions to return them to sane levels.
Care to enlighten us pension finance non-experts on what the article misses?
Both US Democracy and CEOs at large companies both have an adverse interest in short-term success, even at the cost of the long term.

This is why in both cases out-sourcing/privatization is popular. It shows a short term benefit, the long term is someone else's problem.

How can we expect politicians to care about the pension fund if the problem isn't going to materialize for tens of years pass the end of their term limit?

And if they were a "hero" and increased taxes to try and tackle it, they'd only get voted out next election, so someone else can come in, undo it, then spend all the savings.

In a theoretical Parliamentary Democracy, the "upper house," with lifetime terms would exist primarily for this function, consider the long term interests over the short term point-scoring. But no country that I know of can be described as having an effective upper house.
This is true. But I mean it should br sicially acceptable to have at least the two. That’s not to say people should not push back on odiousness, but the pushback should happen on the account conducting the odiousness; hopefully with some community policing. In other words there should be some modearation, even if by a sympathetic group to ensure it does not become too extreme.
I don't think it's being pedantic if your analogy is based on a basic premise that is fundamentally untrue. I get there is no such thing as a perfect analogy but I'd at least expect the subject to be factually acuate even if the comparison is subjective.
I think it was said that the Electron is capable of carrying something like 97% of all satellites launched last year.
This does not hold up at all to scrutiny, because Harvard accepts many students that do not come from privileged backgrounds. In fact, their lack of privilege and the challenges they overcame are seen as very "unique" and favorable by the admissions committees.

I haven't seen any data to back this up but I suspect they're also far higher in diabetes diagnoses which is another reason our care costs so much more.

> Just a while ago in Tahti, a family asked a nurse not to vaccinate their new born child. The nurse did it anyway, and the infant died within 3 minutes. A second family, minutes after, told the nurse also not to do it. The nurse did it anyway, and the second infant died. Apparently there were riots and the government had to come in a seize the vaccines (MMR).

This seems to be a distorted retelling of events that happened earlier this month. [0] It was in Samoa, not Tahiti; from all accounts I am find only the second child’s parents (two hours, not mere minutes, after the first) declined the vaccine, having heard about the first incident.

And there is little reason at this point to think this story about the MMR vaccine supports your point about risky vaccines; it is much more likely that it is about mishandling the vaccine at the particular facility. Because MMR is given all around the world, and cluster incidents like this happen at an extremely low rate (and are fairly consistently shown to be medical errors—such as injecting the wrong thing, e.g., by staff using something other than water as the diluent—and not problems with the vaccine itself.)

I find this interesting, but feel like there should be a "less developer" focused version for non-dev communication. IE: Product manager, stakeholder, etc. Give them an easier way to annotate parts of the page with notes, versus the current way: screenshots and highlighting things with paint, powerpoint, etc

Edit: I see the screenshot view is sorta closer to what I am getting at. Either way, sounds like you guys are solving an interesting problem and should be easy to communicate the value if you clean up the UX. I just was overwhelmed at first.

As someone who has also been following those projects, I actually think this is a great application for cryptocurrency. (Not necessarily blockchain; I'm pretty sure Maidsafe actually doesn't use a blockchain.)

The idea of a trustless, fully decentralized, scalable, redundant, anonymous storage market is pretty alluring, and I see no reason why it's not entirely achievable with current cryptocurrency technology.

I agree many of those platforms have issues, but from what I can tell those issues are mostly a result of the system's immaturity; not an inherent flaw in the idea of a decentralized storage system itself.

Here's my current take on each:

* Filecoin - Doesn't exist (yet). It's just a whitepaper; no actual software.

* Storj - Not actually decentralized (as currently implemented). Users need to go through a federated service (of which only one currently exists; the one run by the creators of Storj) to actually store their files.

* Maidsafe - I'm actually not sure. The developers of Maidsafe seem to be working on much, much more than just file storage, which means the project is very complex. In any case, the software is still too immature to actually use for real.

* Sia - This is actually pretty promising. A couple weeks ago I managed to upload and store a few GB worth of files on Sia for about $2/TB-month. Going to try using it for my online backups via Duplicati once I get a chance to play with it more. The core software is still pretty clunky though, and not recommended for production use.

* TRON - I have no idea. I haven't looked into it.

> and I can't notice the difference in performance so it was a bit of a waste.

That's because Ubiquiti Edgerouters and APs use the same processors and radios as consumer routers. If there's any truth to the memes about hardware quality, then the differences lie in things like the power supplies. Most of the perceived improvement in stability that Ubiquiti Edgerouters offer comes from having software that is actively maintained and not stuck on decade-old software branches. You can get all the same software benefits (more, really) by running OpenWRT on consumer hardware.
Except that the data stream is, I should hope, compressed so that the data is actually packed into a format optimized for size.

> Very few handled anything that couldn't run off a beefy postgres installation.

My impression, from attempting to evangelize scaling "up" before scaling "out" (because it's both cheaper and much lower effort/labor/time) is that vanishingly few programmers have any idea what a "beefy" installation would even look like.

I routinely encounter implicit assumptions (partially driven, these days, anyway, by what VPS and cloud providers off) that the "largest" servers 2U (or 4U, if I'm lucky) and are I/O limited by the number of disks they an hold in their chassis.

Similarly, there seems to be a lack of awareness of just how big main memory can be on a single server, even before paying a price premium for higher-density modules.

Not knowing where the price-performance curve inflection points (for memory and/or CPU) happen to be also seems to be associated with not knowing where the price tops out. It's as if they fear the biggest server they can (and will be forced to) buy will cost a million bucks, rather than $100k.
How much money does one need to live in retirement? If they are doing daily exercise(1-2hr), cut out most processed foods and sugar , no alcohol , cook all their food from scratch using cheap staple ingredients , entertain themselves with books , community , local events and cut out expensive vacation plane trips (only an invention of the past century). An ‘uncomfortable’ lifestyle shift but doable for a human.

[edit] Yes for people who are permanently injured, its great we have these systems in place. But for otherwise healthy retired individuals, I think the 21st century western 'retired' lifestyle is a bit rich in comparison to what the rest of the world is living.

We are, at this very moment, living through what will likely be seen as one of the most important and keystone eras in humankind. We are finally taking the steps to move, as a people -- as a species, into space. This is something that will completely transform our species, forever. People millennia from now will wonder how this came to be - how the time that we're living through played out, how people responded to such change. The reality that most people are completely unaware would probably be quite disappointing.

One-off bursts of coverage are forgotten as quickly as they emerge. For instance, if we were to poll Americans on our recent achievements in space, what percent of Americans do you think would have any clue about what's going on? Even just of the Falcon Heavy in particular? I think a fair over/under would be 20%. In my experience it's a fair bit lower than that. And the biggest shame here is that people are just jaw dropped at seeing what we're achieving - which makes that ignorance all the more of a shame! Heck, YouTube is home of some the most negative and trollish commenting on the internet. See how people responded to this [1] video of the Falcon Heavy test flight. That a 'mere' technological achievement somehow brought out such strong and positive emotion from so many people, on YouTube of all places. Why aren't the media more actively tapping into that?

The media plays a very large role in deciding the zeitgeist of a time. And I think it's a shame that they've chosen to obsess primarily on divisive topics rather than on topics that unify people and let them see what we're actually doing. There are a good deal of people that formulate their world views based primarily on the news. But if you were to do that now a days you'd see nothing but negativity, divisiveness, and general nastiness. Yet in reality we live in amazing times when we're doing amazing things, but instead of focusing on that -- the media are taking the worst of the worst, and spending all of their time focusing on that to the point that the glimpses of what really is (and will) define this era are lost to the never-ending tidal wave of divisive or outrage driven news.

Being liberal and conservative is what got us here in the first place. Expansion of political ideas is only now becoming popular as this generation really feels the effects of wishy-washy American liberalism and conservatism that favors the already extremely wealthy.

Overal taxation in the U.S. is low compared to other OECD countries [1]. We, as a nation, decided that low taxes was the goal. As a result infrastructure is poor, toll roads are increasing, privatization of prisons, intelligence gathering, war, etc. are rising too. Yet Americans falsely believe they are overtaxed. The situation is easy to fix in economic terms but not in political terms. The road to an Ayn Randian paradise in which everyone fends for themselves will lead us to ruin.

Corporations have largely shunted the responsibility for retirement savings onto individual workers. Now said workers have no pensions and have uncertain retirements. Instead of asking why they have no pensions they seek to equalize status by falsely believing we can't afford any sort of pension.

As a nation we need to seriously rethink the role and purpose of government and how taxation is a part of the proper functioning of government.

Three major reasons are: 1) deferred/missed contributions; 2) expenses growing faster than originally expected, due to benefit increases and rising healthcare costs; and 3) unrealistic projections of future return that are being revised downward over time to be more realistic.

The full version has a lot of my own personal configurations in there so I haven't uploaded it yet. It also requires a good video card so it's expensive to run.

I'm still working on the lite version as you've probably seen. It comes down to trying to make the right tradeoffs when computational power is scarce. I'll be uploading the lite version's tandem Detection Server as a Docker file along with it.

The same could be said of trips in people's own cars. Go ahead, replace "TNCs" in that sentence with "private automobiles" and it's just as true. Sure, it's a problem if TNC drivers go 3mi empty for every 5.2mi with a passenger, but it's a much bigger problem that transportation infrastructure sucks in most cities and zoning is flat-out insane. Attack the 1.6x multiplier in miles for a small population (TNC users) or the 2.5x multiplier for a much larger one (all drivers)? Or just turn a blind eye to the bigger issue because writing about the smaller one gets more clicks?
