Hey! Thanks for the message. Our products are all priced at $4.50-6, which is quite reasonable for a full meal that includes vegetables, protein, spices, etc.

We're working on a few things that will help us automate a lot of the repeated processes but still ensure the same homemade recipes are being followed correctly. It's definitely a hard problem but one we're working hard to solve!

I believe there are similar services in some larger cities, but those usually have higher prices ($10-14 per meal) and aren't able to scale with the demand as necessary.

We hope to be the go-to for authentic food when the existing options don't cut it and you don't have the time or energy to make it yourself!

I haven't done those things, and i'm not going to any time soon. However, you apparently have, and i'm more than happy to listen to what you have to say on the matter.

I don't really buy the idea that someone who is employed can't scrape together a $19 bus fare. Buying the bare amount of food and water necessary to live can be done for $1-2/day, even in a developed country. If you're employed in any sort of regular way, you're making more than that, so I don't really understand the argument that these people are financially incapable of saving up that much money.

That being said, i'm more than happy to be wrong if there's some aspect of the issue that I don't understand.
Nonsense. If you can't properly staff a location, then you close that location. What B&N has done is made a system-wide staffing reduction. So now busy stores have fewer employees to help customers. This ends up hurting sales in all stores, ending in a death spiral.

B&N management has been incompetent for the better part of a decade; Riggio is mostly to blame since he can't seem to either delegate or let go.
Cache footprint of the OS shouldn't matter because the system should be otherwise idle and benchmark shouldn't be interacting much with the OS. The OS mostly doesn't run during the benchmark.

Assuming you didn't have those mistakes, the difference was likely due to memory allocator choices. Scattering the pages of memory is very different from laying them all out one after another. Scattered pages will cause benchmark results to be less predictable, with evictions seeming to happen at random. QNX probably made one great big allocation, in both the virtual and physical address spaces.

How Three Kids Beat Square and Translated Final Fantasy V into English (2017)
You certainly don't have to yay Cuba or yay communism, but the discussions people get into when topic becomes this generic and this divisive usually end up in flames. That's what we're trying to avoid here. Notice how it went straight to Saudi Arabia? That's a flamewar move, not a substantive one. And then we get https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17763463, and so on and so on.

We moderate HN this way because the site has a clear mandate: thoughtful conversation on topics of intellectual curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). At this point we have over 10 years' experience with where the community's limits are in terms of what can be discussed that way versus what spills over into flames. When the needle starts to go into the red, that's when we moderate. I assume that the users who flagged that comment were doing much the same.
I imagine that they'll do it on a case-by-case basis, with a custom configuration for each one, testing to make sure it works. (Possibly they'll also detect games that use unity, c#, java, dosbox, but only officially support window, and make a shim for those.)
That's not what I said. Would you rather have no hardware or hardware that BSODs once a month?
> which is relevant since he was using AWS

Of course, in that case, one is so limited by Amazon's specific hardware choices, if not by virtualization [1]. The OC didn't specify AWS but did mention MySQL, instead of Postgres, which further limits ones ability to implement basic performance optimizations, like separating data and index I/O [2].

> it’s much cheaper and easier to autoscale app servers than database servers based on load

Yet I'm still not convinced this is true if the "load" is actually I/O-bound rather than CPU-bound [3]. It may be easier to scale (especially autoscale), but, with cloud providers, that doesn't necessarily mean cheaper. In practice, distributed computing never scales as good as linearly, and people tend not to even measure for diminishing returns or how Amdahl's Law affects them.

> It could also be conceivable cheaper if you’re doing non time sensitive online analytics processing instead of something that requires a real time response.

I believe GCP has instituted single-instance pricing that's essentially pay-what-you-use in terms of number of cores, so that's even possible with a database server on that provider, but, again, only if the issue is CPU, which I maintain it generally isn't.

> Also, when scaling up a database, there is more of a potential for wasting money because of idle capacity when the resources aren’t needed.

I recall this sort of thing being the original argument for virtualization, when it first came out, but it only held water if one was grossly over-paying for the resources to begin with (which most "enterprise" shops certainly were, and still are).

To me, it's an argument for why, beyond modest size, buying cloud infrastructure is just over-paying.

> paying for extra read and write capacity gets expensive

> Serverless Aurora that auto scales but it would also get really expensive fast

Par for the course for any cloud services, in that they may seem convenient or "auto scale" but the price premium is tremendous, especially at scale. How do they compare with paying for that capacity over EBS?

[1] Yes, I know they now have "bare metal" instances, or is it still only instance (singular)?

[2] Not that it matters much if one is limited to 10Gb/s or even 40Gb/s (if you can get it) EBS volumes.

[3] Which the OC's sort very likely would be but the OP's join would not. To that extent, perhaps the OC's whole premise is a red herring, because I doubt anyone is suggesting not offloading to the app an ORDER BY that's just the last step before presentation to the user.

you're not thinking like a terrorist when you imagine it being incredibly effective.

people on a subway are dense and easy targets, sure. but if you place a scanner before people get into the station, you've merely moved the place the terrorist will strike to directly outside the station, where the people getting on/off the train must traverse in similar density and identical numbers as when they are on the train.

so basically this technologies concedes privacy without improving genuine safety. economically wasteful, individually humiliating, and utterly theatrical for its intended purpose.

I Published My AWS Secret Key to GitHub
The main point remains: server and desktop OS kernels are a critical piece of infrastructure, worthy of full machine checked verification.

In this context, it should be pretty obvious that a design that fails to minimise the trusted computing base is flawed. Even if a kernel vulnerability is unlikely to kill any given user, the sum of all the crashes, hacks, patching effort… is huge.

I bet my hat rewriting the entire kernel for all popular OSes would be far cheaper worldwide than not doing it. (Of course, this won't happen any time soon, because path dependence and network effects. Unless maybe someone works seriously on the 30 million lines problem described by Casey Muratory.)

Absolutely. Monolithic kernels are clearly the wrong tool for the job.

> The ATECC508A is not used correctly. It is used as a RNG and for it's crypto functions, but not for key storage.

Where did you get that idea from? Preparing a device consists of the following steps:

- Flash temporary configuration firmware

- Send keys to the device, which are stored on ATECC508A

- Flash actual u2f-zero firmware

So on the second step (configuring the device), the host writes keys on the device, and those keys are stored on ATECC508A. It happens there: https://github.com/conorpp/u2f-zero/blob/master/firmware/src...

I do agree that the code is bad though, but alas. I did consider reimplementing it properly, also on a more powerful chip, but I don't think I'll be able to find time for that.

Anyway, dirty code doesn't mean that the device is insecure. From what I see, among other things, ATECC508A is used properly.
Logical. I wonder if it's possible to designate certain parts as investment property...leasehold for 99 years and sell to the rich and tax them more. You want it?

I think that's a really dangerous mindset. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, to be hearing it from so many people these days.

On top of that, I'm really peeved about the quotes and anecdotes that they included in their article. Every single "average joe" who they chose to quote in this article is in support of the scanners. They barely mention the privacy concerns except when the folks involved are making empty promises that we have nothing to be concerned about. Again, disappointed but not surprised to see this sort of "journalism" in the mainstream.

> They threatened my startup by basically saying that if you don't take the XXX millions of dollars, we'll be happy to give it your competitor who will out-fund you.

The reality though is that most of the companies who take the money end up just giving most of it to Google or whoever and then going bankrupt 18 months later. At this point I think society would probably be better off if raising VC funding was banned for early stage SaaS startups since it's really just a form of dumping, but at least much of the damage is eventually self correcting.
I'm a huge proponent of that argument. Airport scanners are incredibly stupid, and simply move the target. All that actually needed to be done was reinforcing the cockpit doors, so that the plane couldn't be comandeered and used as a missile. Blowing up a plane in the air is just one of the myriad ways to blow up a concentration of people, and shouldn't be given the special privilege that it does, with the exception of its utility as a missile, solved by the doors.

However, that's not what's being proposed here. The system proposed here does not create concentrations of people, because it is transparent to them, it just scans them as they walk through the place, so it doesn't have that flaw.
It's a fair question -- I live in a suburban town, but I spend a lot of time in the urban center. Thinking of it from this perspective I would say the local bookstore revival is coming to the suburbs, and the coffeeshop quasi bookstore trend is more urban.

You should read up on the story behind Pigeon.ly. I know one of the founders had legal issues in his past and used his experience as inspiration for the company. They're working to make phone calls in prisons more affordable. Here's some backstory: https://techcrunch.com/2015/03/24/pigeon-ly/
I think what you are asking is why something like TimescaleDB has to exist in the first place; i.e., why doesn't PostgreSQL just naturally do this?

Here's why: There are scenarios with time-series data that rarely occur with standard/vanilla PostgreSQL OLTP workloads. So PostgreSQL simply isn't designed to handle these scenarios well on its own.

Having 100s-1,000s of partitions is one such example. We found that insert rate on standard PostgreSQL drops quickly as the number of partitions increases, because PostgreSQL decides to hold a lock on every partition on insert, even though the insert may only touch one partition. [1]

When we asked the core PostgreSQL devs about this, they explained that they did this because sorting out the appropriate locks was a hard problem, and that they saw this scenario as so unlikely for OLTP that they instead directed their resources to other more pressing problems.

But with time-series data this is a very common scenario, so we (TimescaleDB) had to sort it out ourselves.

And this is just one example. There are quite a few query optimizations that we also had to develop for working with time-based data more efficiently.

At a high-level, every project has to optimize for something. PostgreSQL understandably optimizes for OLTP workloads. But the beauty of PostgreSQL is that it allows extensions to optimize for other workloads, such as time-series.

After running InfluxDB in production for a bit more than year, here's some issues from top of my mind we ran have into:

# Common
- All: Various documentation issues

- Including versioning in the documents

- Influx/Kapacitor: Cannot join values in Influx, but you can Kapacitor (but not dynamically)

- Available in InfluxDB 1.6. now!

# InfluxDB

- Influx: GroupTag not grouping https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/pull/1773

- Influx: last() is really slow https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/8997

- Influx: Cannot update / edit tags https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/3904

- Apparently you can have tags and fields with the same names which bump up the query times by 1000x times, without ever knowing what's wrong (fixable by adding ::tag to the value)

- Cannot incrementally restore incrementally backed up databases (we made a script to do that) https://github.com/motleyagency/influxdb-incremental-restore

# Kapacitor

- Kapacitor does not support subqueries

- Kapacitor does not (properly) support queries from multiple measurements

- Cannot have field and tags with same name
- Cast syntax doesn't work either (https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/pull/6529)

# Telegraf

- Telegraf: Telegraf HTTPJson plugin does not support custom timestamps

# Chronograf

- The TickScript editor sometimes hangs for good and requires Chronograf restart

- Minor: No up-to-date syntax highlighting for TickScript in any common editors

That said we most likely would have ran into similar issues with out time series databases and I applaud their effort to keep InfluxDB open source.
