Same reason it's such a cliché for the fourth movie in a franchise to drop the number and have a subtitle like 'Revolution' or 'Revelation' or 'Revenge'. I assume marketers imagine the public's reaction to a '4' like "Look at you with that new _sequel_. How could you BE so cocky?!"
They didn’t add a Postgres front end to RDS. They took the Postgres open source code and (grossly simplified) changed the storage layer and added more AWS specific features. Aurora/MySQL and Aurora/Postgres or more or less AWS specific forks of the respective projects.

Amazon going out of business isn’t the only reason you shouldn’t be happy to be tied to them.

If you want decent “high availability” and failover when shit hits the fan, that means multi vendor. Who else offers dynamodb?

If amazon were to increase the price of dynamo db 10x would you still just keep using it, because you’re already using it, and eat the 10x cost increase?

The amount of comments that essentially boil down to “amazon is not going anywhere, you’re stupid for worrying about lock in” is both staggering and depressing.

Entirely agree about the lack of efficiency. No question about that.

However, in my personal experience, I have seen no issues downloading old data from any binary group. At least not with the provider I have. In fact, just this past week I obtained something sizable (several GBs) with no damaged parts so didn't even need the parchive recovery files at all. This has always been my experience. I've never seen anything like the pruning you are talking about. That sounds more like an issue with your specific provider to me.

One of the killer features of Cassandra is cross-region replication with location aware consistency for queries. It looks like in this preview of Manages Cassandra Service they are only supporting single regions clusters. I do hope they support multi-region clusters in the future.

It would also be nice if they documented any differences from Apache Cassandra, like if Amazon MCS improves secondary indexes so they can be used in more cases.

This is an important distinction. Consensus does not mean agreement. Not everyone has to think the idea is the best or even good, they just need to all accept it as viable.

It seems that "group-think" is more about agreement than consensus. An insistence on agreement silences opposing views. A search for consensus entertains them all but recognizes the need for a group decision to be reached.

Yes, and I think Julia is a perfect starting point for an extremely productive general purpose language.

The one major wart with Julia is reliance on GC, I'm interested to hear what workarounds exist. If no common usage patterns rely on the GC, it should be possible to write "recycling" code that doesn't incur GC pauses and hence, unpredictable latency.

I really enjoy using Julia, it's a great balance of concision, expressiveness, and performance.

If you're taking care of most/all the technical details, the only blocker that would prevent me from this kind of service is the unknown legal/compliance work I'd need to do in order to start taking this kind of money and have access to those users' data - is that something you can provide guidance on?

If you are asking: "Should Microsoft get some credit for the positive things it has done" then the answer is clearly yes. Even during the time periods where Microsoft was universally (and legally) perceived to be engaged in unfair business practices my own feeling is that their overall contribution to IT was a net positive.

That does not change the fact that Microsoft is a risk. Google is a risk since they have a habit of shutting down projects. Oracle is a risk due to their insane licensing and consulting fees. Open Source is a risk since the contributors can just decided to drop support. Everything has elements of risk. I guess I just won't back down from someone claiming there is no risk in Microsoft because all the bad people are gone. That is an absurd claim that also happens to be false.

My understanding of it as an outsider is that Getty Images filed a suit against Google seeking money for their images being displayed in GIS results.

I think it's extremely difficult to read Google's statement and come to this conclusion. Again, do you have any evidence to suggest that what your saying is true?

You mean if multiple availability zones go down? In AWS’s entire existence, have they been known to raise prices?

How much time, energy, and development effort are you willing to spend on “avoiding vendor lock in” in the off chance that you will move your entire infrastructure as opposed to spending those same resources creating either revenue generating features or cost saving features?

If you’re using a cloud provider as a glorified overpriced colo, you have the worse of all worlds. You’re spending more on resources and just as much babysitting infrastructure.

It’s just like the bushy tailed “architects” who create layers of “factories” and “repositories” just in case their CTO wakes up one day and decides to move their companies six figure Oracle installation to Postgres. All the while creating suboptimal queries to avoid using Oracle specific functionality.
Groupthink happens because humans are tribal by nature. Tribes provide protection as long as you comply with their principles. Doing something contrarian is questioning those principles which is a threat to the tribe. Groupthink keeps you from being ostracized from the group as long as you go along with it because it’s desirable to be accepted in that tribe in order to achieve your long-term plans.

Okay, I have a question for the author:

Why didn't you just use a website layout which was easy to navigate and understand for people using screen readers? Is it because it's not a topic you've ever considered, or did you do research into it and just find the documentation and available resources lacking? There is only a single heading on the entire page, for instance. Happy to hear thoughts by email (in bio).
Anecdotally as well, this extends to other fields besides programming/writing code, though personally I define it as the contrary, i.e. someone that writes "sloppily" (without proper grammar, with typos, etc.) will also work "sloppily", no matter the specific work, paricularly when some "team effort" is needed.

I suspect that at the base there is somehow a lack in communication skills and "education", or more generally a lack of respect for otherwise agreed conventions (grammar and spelling when writing) that is corresponding to a same lack of respect for other people or for the specific conventions/rules that apply to the specific work.
The authors of that paper are not nearly as convinced in overall applicable recession predictability using their proxy measures as the abstract excerpt that lures the reader in:

"These results suggest that financial cycle proxies may be another indicator that could be useful to policymakers, professional forecasters and market participants more generally."

Emphasis added is mine. That's double the coverage of uncertainty propogation.

Unfortunately, I suspect, like most working in modern research and academic settings, papers have to inflate success as much as possible or the researchers lose future funding even though this type of work is high risk of failure. This is partly to blame for the reproducibility crisis we're encountering across the board.

I don't blame the authors (I feel their pain), but I do blame the poorly structured incentive/disincentive system creeping ever-further into academic research.
> he phone system lacked human-readable names and yet was extremely popular with non-technical users.

First of all, phone numbers were pretty short, and were chunked and thus pretty easy for humans to memorize. Do you think the average human will be able to memorize a bunch of onion addresses?

Second, even with phone numbers, companies used the corresponding characters to the digits to create human readable names, for example 1-800-FLOWERS

> Cassandra was hard to manage and after many years of our team using it still had random spikes

A lot of that is getting better over time. A non-trivial percentage of contributions are coming from companies that are only looking to improve their operational story, not adding new features.

Most of the talks at NGCC (Next generation cassandra conference) focused on operational improvements - it's something we care a lot about (myself especially).

> My personal taste complaint with a lot of people who open a brewery... Everyone seems to think that more hops = better beer.

Microbrewers don't actually think that.

The reason that a lot of them flood their beer with hops, is because:

1. It is extremely difficult to brew consistent batches of beer, week after week, month after month.

2. The extreme bitterness of hops masks the taste of pretty much everything... Including the inconsistencies.

So even if they aren't papering over actual errors in the brewing process, they are papering over inconsistencies.

Being in YC, I assume your plan is to be headquartered in the US, or at the very least, do business with US customers/entities.

I notice your team doesn't involve any compliance people. As you probably already know, you are a MSB in the US, do you have plans to expand your required compliance policies? Does your team already file on any potential BSA/AML concerns?

Or is this like a "when we get to that bridge we will cross it" type of thing?

As you grow larger, regulators will inevitably take notice. And I know this is probably a super boring question for mist people here, but as someone who works in BSA/AML compliance for a tech startup MSB -- I am very interested to hear what you have to say regarding this!

Love the site btw, the simplicity of the payment flow is A+. I could see this taking off.
We have decades of experience to learn from in the aviation industry, that is what we should be iterating on and benchmarking against.

Making a new type of aircraft that is significantly more dangerous and requires significantly less training (so it is unrealistic to expect the consumer to understand the risk) is just valuing profits over human lives - full stop.

Are you still okay with unsafe flying machines when they start falling out of the sky and killing people on the ground? As mentioned previously, these aren't even supposed to require a pilot's license, so you can't expect the customer to be trained like a pilot.

The FAA rules are written in blood. If people want to experiment with new types of aircraft responsibly, that's fine! There is even a specific process for that, it's called an experimental certification.

https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/airworthiness_certific...

But selling these things to untrained consumers is just completely, utterly, reprehensibly irresponsible. That's probably why Kitty Hawk returned deposits - they realized the machines just weren't safe enough to sell to people.

Right. Somehow the hemp enthusiasts never seem to be interested in the other bast fibers - flax, jute, kenaf, manila, etc. Those all have major industrial uses. Hemp - just doesn't. Hemp rope went out towards the end of the sailing ship era, when manila, which doesn't rot from the inside out, was found.

The real action now seems to be in bagasse, the leftover strands after extracting sugar from sugar cane. It's a waste product from sugar mills, so it's really cheap, sometimes free. It's made into biodegradable containers for fast food, replacing styrofoam. Many of those little white clamshell boxes used for food delivery are now made from bagasse. It's also possible to make oriented strand board from bagasse, although that hasn't really caught on.

There's huge amounts of agricultural waste available very cheaply, if you have a use for it. Ethanol fuel from cellulose was a hot idea once, as a way to do something useful with corn cobs and stalks, but it's just not cost-effective.
The passive voice of "was subsequently shared externally" does not apply to the object of the earlier sentence ("these individuals"). If the individuals were actually the leakers, Google could have used a more direct and natural wording, like

"These individuals subsequently leaked some of this material."

But the statement doesn't use this very natural wording, it uses a strange, highly passive, construction. One is left to wonder why. To be fair, you're not the only person who fell for this trick, I know a lot of very smart people who didn't notice this until it was pointed out, but it is a trick.

Edit: replying to your other comment, You're asking me to prove a negative, that these individuals didn't leak anything. Why should I do that when they haven't even been explicitly accused of having leaked something? No one, not the employees, and not google, as claimed they leaked anything. Google claimed that some stuff was leaked. This is true. And yes, its hard to read Google's statement and come to that conclusion. That's intentional it was worded the way it was very carefully. That's the point. They're being duplicitous.

To be fair it should be considered that within the kernel space event driven architectures are already ubiquitous though. I/O, filesystem, you name it. Including powerful multiplexing and dispatch frameworks.

I'd rather see this as a way to ingest performance critical code pieces into the kernel space more easily, with virtualization and verification options providing safety within an otherwise dangerous/complicated domain.

I would not agree with the article that this kind of paradigm is new - neither inside not outside of kernel land.
