Full Disclosure: I work for Clustrix, though I don't speak for them in any official or unofficial way. These are my personal opinions.

I think the author of the blog completely missed the point of what Michael Stonebreaker (VoltDB), Jim Starkey (NimbusDB), and Paul Mikesell (Clustrix) said. All three companies make scalable, relational, ACID compliant, SQL databases. None of them are advocating using NoSQL.

Not to put words in their mouths, but they are saying you need what MySQL gives you. You should not have to move the relational and consistency logic to your application, that's the job of the database. The problem with MySQL is not that it is SQL, it is that MySQL doesn't scale. In the case of Clustrix their database is MySQL compatible, it uses the same library interfaces (e.g., MySQLdb in Python), the same command-line tools, and it can participate in a MySQL replication setup as master or slave. The difference is it actually scales, so you don't have to shard.

With MySQL, once you reach the performance limit of using massive hardware, lots of read slaves, and memcache, the only thing left is sharding. With sharding you are breaking up your database into lots of databases running on different machines. With separate databases you lose a lot of the relational ability, or you move it into the application. What the "NewSQL" databases are offering is the ability to keep a single database, and when you want to scale performance or capacity you just add another node to the DB cluster.

To those that say NoSQL is easier and more flexible than SQL, that entirely depends on your data. You should pick the database that fits your data, which might be multiple databases for different datasets within your organization. Facebook uses a lot of NoSQL, but they also use a lot of MySQL. They have obviously decided that some of their data works best in NoSQL, and some of it works best in a RDBMS no matter how hard it is to scale.

So build your app using whatever works best for you. If that's CouchDB and Redis, cool. If it's MySQL, go for it. Once you've proven that there is demand for your app, and it takes off, then deal with scaling.
They want to "sell", not to be sold to.
It's a great idea. Don't give up yet. Do you allow people to add multiple email addresses that the reports would be sent to. I imagine that would be v useful for businesses. For example, everyone in the marketing dept could receive a report each week.

What's most important is what Steve Jobs has taught us.

If you have a relentless drive and a vision to make products better people will flock to you. It doesn't happen overnight but it does happen.

The next CEO will or won't embrace Steve Jobs' vision and the company's success will reflect that. It's inevitable, but the lesson has been learned and can be applied again and again by anybody who cares to.
"unlike Gates". Pardon? As Gates was co-author of Altair Basic, which was Microsoft's first product, I don't understand your comparison. Could you elaborate?
There are studies that show taking notes by writing them down have a higher recall even if you don't study or review the notes. The same is less likely with typing.

Advertisements are lame.
But, if you're rooted, you likely have a custom recovery and bootloader which will accept commends freely, so it is pretty trivial to pull arbitrary stuff from the phone. You should, however, be safe from other routes, so long as you disable adb (which also freely accepts commands as root in most ROMS), Filesytem encryption would close all these attacks, but I'm not aware of any particular implementations (I'm pretty sure there aren't any popular ones)
A bit off topic: I honestly don't understand this thing about "someone likes you because of your money". Frankly I would not give a care if an nice, intelligent and beautiful person liked me for my money. I am down for that.

How to convert VOB to MOV with VOB to MOV Converter for Mac?
Yeah, I can see this argument going either way. If you're avoiding SQL for NoSQL for scalability reasons, that might be premature optimization, especially if your data is pretty easily relational (and e.g. you have something approximating a schema).

But if you just need to persist a data model, don't care too much about the schema, and come up with the solution of, "I'll just serialize my hash table to a CSV flat file", that's just taking the ultra-simple solution, not really an optimization. If anything, pulling out the big iron of SQL when all you need to do is serialize a hashtable would be the premature optimization (or at least, premature architecting).
I just got permanently banned from Adwords a month ago too.

It took me 5 years to finally reach the minimum payout, and they banned my account right before the 2nd payout. I did not do any click fraud.

The only other explanation I can think of is "click bombing" but I did not have logs longer than a week and did not see anything unusual.

It is infuriating that not only did they steal $100 from me (it was stolen from me because I could've used the other advertisers I am using now during those months), but that I am banned without an explanation. And they have the gall to ask me to try out Adwords with a $100 coupon.

I'm with you. We all have our preferences. Use whatever tools makes you feel more productive. Ideally all of your code should be language agnostic. An algorithm is an algorithm in any language. While developing programs I've found that coding itself takes the least amount of time, is figuring out the algorithms, overall architecture, and debugging that takes most of the time. The coding part is the easy part.

I do agree that Java has some junk in it, but you don't have to use it. I'm sure I could say the same thing about any language though. I still prefer Java though.
Jumping to conclusions, are we?

Superuser.apk does not achieve root privileges and su does not blindly run your program with root privileges. su asks superuser.apk, if your program is allowed to run as root and only when superuser.apk agrees (and displays toast), then your program is run.

Also, the arbitrary privileges are reserved for setuid programs, which is not easy to achieve. Basically, su and Superuser.apk are gatekeepers to uid 0, which short of bugs, you can't get around.

Also, did you know, that you can disable adbd? Or remove root privileges from it?

I happen to be going through this process for the first time right now and it's good to see that I am, at least somewhat, on the right track.

The off-hand remark "what levers we can pull to increase revenue" has been particularly true for me. It wasn't until I put together a spreadsheet where each variable could be adjusted independently that I realized the far reaching effects of some seemingly minor aspects of our target demographic.
I just went to see P&T a few days ago. Always loved their show and their insight as it definitely makes me think.

For a while, I considered myself a Libertarian, but there were too many conflicts with my own sensibilities (gun control, regulation, etc). I just couldn't ignore the obvious lapse in judgement to make the Libertarian model work.

I still respect P&T, but after listening to Penn rant about de-regulation of markets (Libertarian viewpoint), then seeing it happen (and fall apart), I couldn't continue the one-size-fits-all thought process.

Penn became more quiet about the subject than his tight-lipped partner, Teller. Cognitive dissonance indeed.

I know there's more to it than this. I realize this was CALEA's original intent, but I clearly recall around 2004-2005, the various TLA's expanded it to include ISPs.

Did a little research of my own and found EFF has a nice primer: https://www.eff.org/pages/calea-faq . It seems that CALEA started out in '94 for voice calls over the PSTN, but was expanded in 2004 to include "VoIP providers" and "broadband internet providers". Whether the latter are responsible only for monitoring voice-over-broadband, or all data exchanges, is very unclear. Looking at the case files it certainly SEEMS like they're already capturing data exchanges.

There are two major differentiators, however, that make H.R. 1981 much more scary. Firstly, the service providers are responsible for capturing this data proactively - effectively a constant blanket wiretap, at the provider's expense. Compare this to CALEA, where the capture begins only after a court order, and the cost is billed to the government.

Secondly, and more disturbingly, this bill represents the shift in mindsets of our elected officials. When drafting CALEA in '94, Congress went out of their way to ensure it only applied to PSTN calls (specifically stating it would NOT apply to data networks such as the Internet) and minimized the amount of content logged by the telcos. The baseline assumption was that people are innocent until proven guilty.

H.R. 1981 seems to think it's the other way around.
Most awesome to-the-point short web design booklet, I bookmarked it the first time I saw it on HN some moths ago and visit religiously.

> Vote with your wallet: only buy software that's proved correct.

For all intents and purposes, people in last 50 years proved, that they do not want correct software. In many cases, they can't even describe what correct software should do. They want cheap (= keyword!) software, that kinda-sorta is fit for intended purpose.
The problem isn't that opening on mouse-up is worse, it's that it's different. After using an operating system for thousands of hours, one becomes accustom to the behavior of the standard controls. Anything that deviates from them and is not in widespread use - even if it is technically an improvement - will feel uncomfortable and "wrong".

In some cases, like upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Windows XP to Windows 7, the users adapt to the change. This is not likely to happen for a Javascript contro that is not in use on any major sites.
This attack wouldn't require physical access. The researcher analyzed a firmware update that Apple had sent out to reverse engineer the passwords, which he then used to poke around the code in the battery.

Theoretically, malware could get onto a machine by whatever means, then use the battery as a nasty hiding place, or target the battery itself.

EDIT: It should be noted that a second vulnerability will be needed to get code from the battery into the machine.
A bit like MYOB, for anyone who's been unfortunate enough to have used that program.

I think by coming up with "cheating-proof" assignments you'd be ignoring the real issue, which is that students think it's ok to cheat.

Why would that be the case? I mean, if the assignment naturally disfavors cheating (by making it more trouble than doing the assignment honestly), doesn't that send a pretty powerful message to the students? "You might have gotten away with cheating in other classes, but in this one, you'll really have to work." It seems like it would be the same message as a strict anti-cheating policy, but without the acrimony.

Indeed, according to the article, it could be bidirectional:

>Using that password, Miller said that he has been able to do almost anything from giving false readings to the charger and the OS to ruin the device, to completely rewriting the firmware.

I don't know if it would be possible to make the battery burst into flame or explode. After the Sony battery fiasco, I'd expect there to be some kind of hardware interlock preventing short-circuits. However, it is possible to overwrite the battery firmware to prevent the battery from being charged, thus turning your Macbook Pro into a very small form-factor desktop.

Kindle WiFi Syncing vs. Battery
Imagine you're dying of cancer and you have raised a few intelligent children to a certain age. Now you have to ask others to raise your children in your image. Not in their image, but yours. You might not trust anyone with your children, moreover, expect them to see the same vision you had for your children - which is based on the progressive iteration of your children's development.

Can anyone raise Apple like Jobs? Probably not. Does that mean Apple is doomed? No, it doesn't. Anything beyond is speculation.

If you're using a password management utility, root access to the filesystem isn't enough because all stored passwords are encrypted a password that is never stored on disk. One example of this, I believe, is Keychain using your login password for encryption in OS X.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work as well on a phone. Because of the awkward entry mechanism, passwords are likely to be shorter and to contain much less variation.

This comment reminds me of my passing thought that since comment votes are hidden, we ought to allow comments to be reordered such that a reply could appear prior to the OP if it were upvoted more. I would love to see this comment be a "balloon" floating above the head of the main remark that generated replies.
I just wanted to mention that I'm tracking every single connecting device onto my city's main international airport's WIFI network (for analytics). I think this is a great gauge on the popularity of portables. And of millions of connecting devices, Mac portables and iDevices represent 63% of it all! It's definitely more than I would have thought, and it's quite interesting. You might think, oh right iDevices, but the breakdown is 60% Macbooks, 3% iPhones, 0.6% iPads.
He's not asking for anything. He's pointing out how a different data model allows for solving a different set of problems. The MVCC page on Wikipedia might give you a better background so that you're able to contrast the two models and determine for yourself where they are useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversion_concurrency_contro...
I wonder how he manages to balance all these elements. Even in much simpler games balancing the strengths and weaknesses of all the actors can be very difficult. With so many interlocking factors it seems it would next to impossible to avoid inadvertently making one tactic or actor too powerful.

For example, in the early Civ games the optimal strategy was to just build up to chariot technology and then go 100% on the offensive.

Can someone explain to me what NoSQL equivalents are for concepts like primary key and general data consistency?

My other question is that I've read several places that NoSQL makes most sense for full-text documents. And yet I see company after company with little apparent full-text data boasting about their NoSQL use. I am especially aware of this as someone in the job market seeing terms like Hadoop and MongoDB just thrown around in the job description. How? Why?

A Class is a proxy for the underlying representation of the type/class. IMHO, int.class is just as much a Class as Integer.class.

The compiler does next to no optimisations and the "client" JIT doesn't remove loops which don't do anything. Only the "server" JIT eliminates such loops, after it has compiled the method which can be triggered by loop which loops many times.

pass-by-reference has a particular meaning. Java does not support this.

I would invest:

- $250M into an anti-child poverty startup 'incubator', sort of a yCombinator for social ventures that work to eliminate child poverty.

- $250M into a variety of 'save the ocean' ventures. Oceans and oceanic life are incredibly important to our entire ecosystem.

- $250M into an alternative energy incubator, again something of a yCombinator that is wholly focused on alternative energy.

- $250M into anti-racism/homophobia/sexism organizations
I think developers found start-ups for different reasons to other entrepreneurs.

As an employee, being a developer is largely a crap job in which you get little respect and virtually no power (on the plus side, you get pretty good remuneration).

The only way a developer can get the respect and power (over what work they do) they desire is by setting up on their own. This is why so many developers have side projects, I think.

In short, I think developers are driven by the desire to escape the monotony and powerlessness of the typical developer role in a company, and they are prepared to forego a huge wad of cash to do this. Making loads of cash is a bonus.
Either I didn't get your point or you don't know what what Rails migrations are. Migrations are just a way to "change the database" in a repeatable way.
And that would be a perfectly fine argument! Though I am not aware of anything significant that can be built without a relational db. Even the simplest college assignments about building an address book involve querying and referencing primary keys across tables.
The the two questions I haven't heard asked in the comments yet is this:

There are many multi billionaires in the world, especially in the tech sector where there is lots of cross-over with the things mentioned in the article.

1) Why aren't people with say $3 billion in assets $1 billion along these lines?

2) Why don't we ask such a billionaire why they don't?
