But why exactly is an in-memory NoSQL database necessary? This is a "non-sequitur." The fundamental purpose to using NoSQL databases is when your data spans multi-terabytes (where "multi" > 4) and you need replication and slicing. Main-memory NoSQL database seems unnecessary, doesn't it?

Also, when you say "main memory" NoSQL database, are you saying "never store in page file" but always reside/lock in main memory? If it will go to the page file, it's not really main-memory, is it?

Chicken and egg problem - they wouldn't be really active ther because they don't want to, and because noone is really active, then it wouldn't be a valuable resource for homework and communicating with other students.

I've seen a large implementation (around 1/3 schools in my area) that technically could do all that, but you can only 'mandate' a horse to the water but can't make it drink - in the end, they were used for parents to look up grades communicate with teachers, while kids used only the absolutely practical things rarely, and since they couldn't be mandatory (as not 100% can afford a computer at home) it sort of died out. It would be fun to ask the developers what percent of kids sent even a single message to another kid... All at the same time, the ten year olds are extremely active online elsewhere.
That's a recent change, and yeah, one of the worst examples lately of open source developers' contempt for their users. Apparently, those of us who've used Gimp for over a decade to edit .jpg and .png files and save them back to .jpg or .png, were Doing It Wrong, and the devs wanted us to know. :(

Mind you, I've never contributed the tiniest bit of code or funding to Gimp, so I can't really complain.

> it's been appropriated differently by English-speakers

I'm an English speaker from the American midwest and I still think of it as an (I always assumed ironic) reference to Nazi supremacism when I see it. I'm not offended by it but it always struck me as a strange joke. "This thing is so great it's Nazi great!" Fantastic.

It's interesting to me that that's not the intent. It's a reference to the phrase "Deutschland Over Everything Else," which is either a Nazi thing or a merely German nationalist thing, depending on the context and intent. I can see why a German person might want to "take it back" and make it not mean something fascist, but why would anyone outside of that context even bother?

Hard to say 7 out of 10 is "complete penetration"... Also the author probably meant saturation, not penetration.
I recently used Car Woo as part of my car buying process. I wouldn't rely upon these numbers or those from TrueCar, Edmunds, etc. I have been using my bank's car buying service, TrueCar, and direct emailing of dealers. New Car pricing is highly variable on the dealer, dealer's stock, sales, per-dealer deals from, hold back, quota-bonuses, per salesman specific bonuses etc.

It is important to remember that a middleman service operates either on a flat fee or a commission. This is money the dealer cannot use to negotiate down with you. I do not know CarWoo's sales structure, but TrueCar makes 300-400[1][2] per sale. So if this is data based on CarWoo deals it will not reflect the best deals, because the cars all had to include this price. Now, that said most people are not prepared or comfortable buying a car or negotiating. Given that you get some degree of anonymity and can haggle back and forth online is nice and you are paying for the convenience. Many people will likely save more money than if they tried to do it on their own.

This is an application of the wisdom of crowds to determine a market price. It is a good indication of what the market is willing to pay, but not the best deal you can get. Savings as a representation of MSRP are misleading; think about how many things you buy off the shelf and the price is usually much less than MSRP for any number of per-store pricing or sales, coupons, etc. Car buying is no different.

In the case of the model I am looking for, the CarWoo price is close to the two offers I got on CarWoo, but the offers I got directly or through my bank are much lower( Best Direct quote I received was through my Bank's no haggle direct car buying service, which is about 7% lower than the CarWoo average).

Mean averages on their own are not very helpful in evaluating offers, perhaps if we saw a distribution or standard deviation? Prices over time (later in the model year should higher prices be used in the average, are they still relevant or should they at least be weighted?) would also be good for the car buyer.

I also have a hard time believing CarWoo would publish this information if it were not in the best interest of their customers (the dealers, car buyers are the product). Therefore, I would be lead to believe that this data only serves to keep buyers from trying to negotiate lower rates based on the average. Then again, maybe a tech startup has not yet considered this and just thought it would be cool to share data and be transparent.

It's a cool service and it's probably a good fit for many people. You could also just create a new email address and use a google voice number for privacy reasons. At any rate, I would advise you to do your research and try every tactic and service you can to optimize your wallet spent and time spend.

@sejje.

See, this is where I have to disagree - I think people who insist on driving their own cars should fund those who take public transport.

The government is trying to encourage public transportation - that puts less stress on roads and infrastructure, it causes less pollution and damage to the environment, and means roads are less congested.

Also, public transport is one of those funny things that actually gets better the more people use it.

> I agree that order can only exist when people agree on something. Hobbes calls it a "common power". However, one could interpret Hobbes as saying you need some kind of rigid construct to enforce order. Not really. People just have to agree.

What Hobbes is saying is a bit more involved than that. He is saying that because people's nature (and self-interest in particular) mean that they will, in practice, not acheive universal agreement, you can't, in practice, have order without an entity which can enforce compliance with the general-but-not-universal agreement and punish defection from it, because otherwise even a general agreement will devolve into chaos. (He might have been more succinct and made reference to the "Tragedy of the Commons", except that that term wouldn't be coined for a little over three centuries after Hobbes wrote Leviathan, and even the historical events that motivated the term were still.)

Your opinion did not offend me, but the phrase "It's easy to not think about racism when racism isn't an issue in your environment" strikes me as a No True Scotsman argument. "Think we should ignore race? You must not be around racists". My environment was world-famous for it's racists.

The only evidence I have to offer is purely anecdotal, but I've found with people I know who got involved with political activist groups in southern Africa just got more bitter and contentious on the subject the longer they were in those groups. I've had some Hispanic friends join cultural groups and then begin to focus more and more on the differences between themselves and the Americans around them. I've also noticed in some groups I've visited for South African ex-pats that people get together and just complain about all the things they miss about the culture they used to enjoy. I can think of a couple of groups I've seen (most notably, a polynesian dance group) where people genuinely just got together and had a good time celebrating the culture, and that was positive. But I think I've seen more negative results than positive ones.

Come to think of it, the polynesian dance group did a lot to invite non-polynesians to join in. It was a celebration of that culture, but it was very focused on including everyone - not just helping one group catch up to another.
Its not just bart - the whole system sucks. As a daily commuter from alameda to mountain view - it SUCKS:

Bike 2 miles to bart, take either to SF or Millbrea

* If SF; then have to bike to 4th and king to caltrin

* If Millbrea - have to swap trains at balboa park

Take caltrain to mtn view; many times Caltrain says they are "too full" for bikes and wont let me on that morning train.

Get to mountain view, bike 2 miles to office.

Total time: 2.5 hours each way. Total cost: between $20 and $25 per day.

The services don't connect, the trains schedules don't match up well. Bart is filthy. Bart does a piss poor job of supporting bikes, people don't like bikes on bart.

There are two types of reports, fraudulent ones and real ones. The fraudulent ones will come from everywhere, while the real reports come only from pirate infested harbors. Therefore just subtract the mean report density and what remains should be random fluctuations around zero plus the real reports. So if a harbor has more than some threshold of reports, then it is pirate invested.

I wonder how much of that was based on (lack of) teacher buy-in and parents knowing about it? I can tell you that if the teacher was available on such a system in my are, there would be at least a few users just from my kids.

Beyond any moral or parent protectiveness issues, Facebook, Google Plus and Instagram all require you be at least 13 years old to use their services. My (very limited) understanding is that TOS are in some cases legally enforceable now, so letting kids use those sites is problematic from my perspective.

> Why don't physical property rights expire?

All kinds of physical property rights do expire -- leasehold interests, life estates, etc., are, after all, property rights -- though most common subjects of physical property have some person somewhere holding a "root" set of property rights which are held in fee simple and thus do not expire in the most simplistic sense (though many items of physical property have ad valorem taxes assessed on their value, which is essentially a means of property rights gradually expiring; this is particularly common with real property.)

The reason fee simple ownership as the general norm is the case is largely that the capitalist class, as it was developing and feudalism was declining, amassed sufficient resources and influence to direct government to further enhance the capitalist class's ability to continue to amass resources and influence by reforming property to favor that situation.

I've actually had an idea for something like this for a number of years (I used to work for ClickMotive) but it's so very hard to gather this data.

- what cars offer a big enough back seat for two rear facing car seats and a twin stroller? (far fewer than you'd believe)
Have teenagers ever been an important group for Facebook? It started for college students only, thus for the first few years the only other age group it could expand to were people who started using it in college and continued to do so as they got older.
