What they need is to feel a constant sense of extreme shame for letting themselves and their situation degenerate to that degree.

Have you perhaps by chance considered that a sense of extreme shame is exactly what prevents them from changing their situations?

It's quite obvious that you haven't been exposed to anything beyond the silver spoon you were born with in your lifetime. If you had some life experience you'd understand how silly your comment is, given that these are issues are much more complex than people being "illiterate idiots".

Opera gave me a malware warning too.
Dude. You totally misunderstood my comment. An actual ownership stake means you share in both profits and acquisitions. A typical employee profit sharing means the employees shares in profits but not in an acquisition unless they also get stock options. In the scheme described, the employees share in acquisitions but not profit. So it is the anti-profit sharing. Anti- not meaning bad. Anti- meaning opposite. Maybe not the deepest thing in the world, but geez, you took it a bit too seriously.

Yes, right now they are one and the same.
I think it's disingenuous to measure load+index+query time and then declare that you're faster. Not saying there aren't use cases where that's valuable (analytics/warehousing db for one) but it's not what most people are looking for. Is this usable as a transactional store? What do those numbers look like?

The pipeline model is very interesting, though, and I'll take a look for our warehouse, which at some point became too expensive to keep up with.

Ever thought of unsubscribing if you don't want the emails? That's what most smart people do.

I have had personal email contact with Derek numerous times, and although we haven't met in person I consider him to be a mentor. He has helped me work through some very specific Rails application architecture issues, and he answered my questions via email in a prompt and thoughtful manner.

Derek has actually done plenty in the past decade, but it looks like you haven't taken the time to find it. He is one of the smartest entrepreneurs out there, and all you have to do is read or listen to interviews to appreciate the depth of his business thinking. Some of the most interesting and effective business, marketing and customer service hacks that I have come across were unearthed from Derek's many talks and interviews that are available online.

Derek, thank you for doing great work for both the music and startup community, and keep doing things your way!
The App Store doesn't accept apps that aren't contained in a single neat bundle. Network monitoring and automatic launching requires more than that.

That's pretty much the only reason, I would have been happy to sell it through the store.
That's great but does it beat SSAS? Does it beat LINQ?

It seems that the primary competitors to r17 would be K/Q,LINQ,Powershell,and possibly SSAS (unsure how much statistical power is in r17).
Options or restricted shares --- or even the common stock of publicly traded companies --- do not automatically entitle the owners to a share of the profits. Profit sharing and equity are orthogonal issues.

At first glance it looks like doing a query involves streaming the entire dataset into memory while selecting and projecting on the fly. If that's true, what happens when you have truly massive rows (i.e., things containing MEDIUMTEXTs or worse)?

Okay, reading further down you only get very basic data types. Still, nothing in the spec appears to prohibit very long rows, and I'd imagine performance starts to fall off once you're throwing around tens of kilobytes per row. Any plans to support pushing the projection operation into the read phase so you can work with massive individual records?

And where's the source? I want to see exactly how much this differs from a modern SQL engine.
How is 60-65% less than half of 80-85% ?
This fails at the most basic benchmark rules. Do you really think PostgreSQL is 20-40x slower than alternative implementations? Do you think that is reasonable?

I'm going to go ahead and assume (as with most benchmarks) that the PostgreSQL instance was not configured properly and was running a stock configuration.

I agree that it would be disingenuous to base "faster" on load+index+query. I'm basing it on the query times alone. I would like very much to base it on load+index+query 'cause then I could have said "faster than MySQL and PostgreSQL" :) [and probably many systems, since r17 is built specifically for zero indexing overhead].

R17 is _only_ for analytics & warehousing, it doesn't do transactions at all. So in that sense this comparison is unfair, which is why next up I want to do the same comparison with Hadoop.

Well I am a big fan of Sivers, along with guys like PG, and some others. So hate these sort of ... ignorant trashing.

>The dude's done nothing in the last decade other than promote himself

He gave his company to charity in 2008 (http://sivers.org/trust) that's well within last 10 years.

>Now he's an entreprenurial guru selling self-help advice?

Yes he is. Just like PG, Dharmesh Shah, Spolsky, he has also chosen to share his Startup experience, which I feel is very beneficial to lots of wannabes. I found this piece of his, one of the most brilliant pieces ever ... by anybody: http://sivers.org/multiply

> If he is, he oughta get a wig and a rent-a-yacht like everyone else on late night television

Looks like you don't know him at all. He instead lives in a minimal style and cycles a lot (http://sivers.org/biking)

>Sivers and his former company have been spamming me constantly for the last 10 years...

Can't speak for cdbaby.com . But Derek, surely, doesn't spam. He can't afford to. As he promises to reply to all (http://sivers.org/contact). And he does. Very meaningful replies (I have tried).

He's using WordPress 3.2.1 which is the current stable release but regardless the theme he is using has the following malicious iframe being called in the top of the template:

<iframe src="http://d22cjhny6e.co.TLD/?go=1 width="1" height="1"></iframe>

(with the TLD being the country code for Tuvalu)

Potentially the theme he downloaded always had that iframe or alternatively an attacker has gained access to his WordPress theme directory (or otherwise found a way to inject it). Luckily maintaining the security of a DreamHost shared Apache server (apache2-ogle.baghdad.dreamhost.com) is probably not necessary for an IT position. Additionally, it is possibly DreamHost's fault, as it has been in the past [1, 2].

I find file permissions just an annoyance on my debian desktop that I share only with my wife. And I deal with unix security since the early 90's. OSX has file permissions and about 30% of them are setuid. Great improvement!

Also, BeOS had an Xwindow port months after it's death. OSX had it when?

IOS is a completely different beast. I don't even imagine why you are mentioning this. But the beos hybrid kernel would be good for that as well. heck it was even bought by palm for that purpose. sadly politics never moved it. even Next took a lot of time to be absorbed in apple ...and they had the ceo at their side.

About the tech that matter... there was nothing super new about objective C. ever heard of smalltalk? anyways, GNU implemented all that 3 years after NEXT, and they were not even being paid. Meanwhile Next were licensing PS from adobe for the interface just like SGI was doing for what? 10 years?

No matter how many buttons had your rock solid development tools. it was just like programming in VB. and if you wanted to do anything just a little different, you had to deal with awful apis and post script. heck, there's one layer of hell with the same name.

now, on the other hand, I invite you to read the BeOS book that is now opensourced... from oreilley if i'm not mistaken. Even the OS being dead now, it's the best read if you ever want to learn anything about elegant APIs design.

...i know all that is pointless... http://xkcd.com/386/#Duty_Calls ...but i just can't stand to see apple taking any underserved merit for being cool

Really?

First, we're talking about the difference between ~20% and ~30%, so for your case, the business owner will only walk away with 7 million dollars to retire on. Is this entrepreneur undergoing undue hardship?

What's barely any income for someone who builds a $10M company? 60k? 50k? It's certainly not $10,890 (the federal poverty level). Even if we're talking about a business owner who takes no income, it's because they're living off of the money they've already earned, not because they're taking welfare checks while running their business.

I would alo like to remind you that your typical employee, who's paying the higher tax rate, will be laid off in years of recession, may have to take a lower salary because of outsourcing, etc. I'm not going to classify one hardship versus the other, but I do want to point out that the business owner usually has a higher mean salary, even if the variance is larger.

You ask what the entrepreneur's incentive is if his gains are taxed like ordinary income? That's simple: money, and lots of it. Business ownership is a risk, and it comes with a reward.

Do you really think that a higher tax rate will stop an entrepreneur from creating a company? I dare you to head down to Startup Camp, and ask anyone there if they are planning to start a company because they expect to receive a lower tax rate. I can save you some time: they won't. There's a passion and a drive that accompanies entrepreneurs, and they will start companies because that's what they want to do, what they need to do.

If entrepreneurs choose to take a higher salary during the course of the business, that's fine, it's just tax planning. Anyone with sizable income does it.

You say there is a reason why society created a lower tax rate for capital gains, and that's true, but the economic situations of those times were different than now. I would suggest to you there was also a reason why there were bloody revolutions against the aristocratic class.

The rules of our society must continually adapt to the situation at hand. We are currently in the middle of the two extremes mentioned above, I just hope we realize it and don't get too far to one side or the other.

Some great quotes here:
"Outsourcing revolutionized the IT industry in the 1990s and 2000s and I believe outsourcing has the potential to revolutionize scientific research in the same way."

Five Camera Technologies We Want (But Probably Won't Get)
[re fail] my main goal is to find out if r17 is "generally useful" for other people doing data mining, _not_ to pull the wool over any eyes. What would you like to see done differently? I am very happy to redo the comparison...or better yet, help someone else to redo it and satisfy themselves (or not) of r17's usefulness.

[re reasonableness PostgreSQL being 20-40x slower] Yes, but only at some things. In the first bakeoff (http://www.rseventeen.com/blog/bakeoff_part_1_mysql_postgres...) PostgreSQL was clearly "better" than MySQL. And r17 can't do transactions and is useless for anything "on line", which is where PostgreSQL really shines. (As commented below) next up I'll be baking off against Hadoop, which is a more apples<->apples comparison.

[re misconfiguration] is there a specific configuration that you would prefer that I use? I'm also happy to show the EXPLAIN output if that would help.

If it is taxed as W2 income, you also need to pay social security and medicare, another 7.65%. State taxes may also differ, if the state has a separate capital gains rate. Also, the max federal capital gains rate is 15% as far as I know.

In case you haven't seen it, From Dust uses fluid simulation as a game mechanic. It's a god game, with flowing water that erodes rivers etc, at a constant 30 fps. There's an xbox demo, and a PC demo to come.

BTW: I think it's fantastic as a toy, less good as a game.

However, from what you're saying, the fluid simulation isn't as expensive as I thought.
