About the upsert function, have you found a way to do this generically, or are you generating (at least) one function per table from a template? I've found the hackiness of this to be easily the worst part about using Postgres.
And... this marks the beginning of the end for Twitter as we know it.
I'd love to know how you've set things up [ if you don't mind me prying ;) ]. It would be interesting to see someone else's approach.
This is interesting. We researched Node.js a bit and found many arguments on StackOverflow against using it for apps that require heavy DB interaction and/or non-real-time apps. Also, there seemed to be many people pointing to the single-process model as risky. Is this no longer the case or have these issues been addressed through configuration? I would love to give Node.js a try again.
Google's auction didn't work, they marginalized wall st. and the banks ended up rigging the bidding. While it only popped 20% on opening day, the stock was up 4x in a matter of months.
Yeah, I saw that and got a good laugh because SQL Server has done that for nearly a decade.

I think Twitter addresses a great market, real-time communication and conversation, however, it is a very difficult market to monetize. The Telco's monetized communication by billing per minute or per month, but I don't think that would work for Twitter in the long term. They are likely limited creatively incorporating more advertising over-time and selling trend data.
Without wanting to be too facetious "Don't worry, we may be violating your privacy, but we're rubbish at it." isn't a particularly compelling defence.

The problem with the locked box analogy is that my ISP isn't going to potentially scrutinise my data and decide that because I read stuff from all sorts of sources - including the blogs of subversives, activists, hackers, and political outliers (along with the thousands of other things I read online) that I should be considered a threat to a society I am part of, and could be considered a 'baddie', espescially given the UK's stupidly broad definitions of terrorism.

Perhaps that is a slippery slope argument, but it's a valid one IMO especially given that the reason for excusing it is one that not many of us put much credit in (the omnipresent threat of terror and violence from fanatical foes). I'd sooner we just didn't go around making enemies.
Why was this so unexpected? Since whole galaxies are held together by super-massive blackholes that spin stars around them, why wouldn't groups of stars be formed because of the same thing? I'm not saying it should've necessarily been an "obvious" theory, but it's surprising that they didn't take this into account much earlier.
I'm not an expert in the stock market, and the only stock I own is Facebook (which I bought a long time ago), but I am confused as to why Facebook is dropping today while there is so much enthusiasm for Twitter. Buying Twitter is basically betting on mobile advertising, which Facebook is the clear leader of. Is it possibly related to people with Facebook stock selling some to get in on Twitter? Are they entirely unrelated?
There's another explanation for the difference between commercial and residential.

When you work residential, it's much easier to work for yourself (ie. start a business). Because the stakes are much lower the home-builders will hire smaller contractors.

On commercial work-sites only large contractors ever get any jobs because of the guarantees they bring.

Also take a look at statistics, immigrants are more likely to start a small business than white people. Their tendency to start businesses would automatically steer those who do go the construction route into the residential sector.

Anecdote - I had a friend who started his own construction business doing a specific subset of drywall (which also happened to be dirt simple), and made well over 6 figures within a year by simply doing it very efficiently.

Further, having at one point in my life (when I was much younger) done construction in both residential and commercial, while commercial does pay better than residential if you're an employee, the potential in residential is huge if you become a contractor.

But when you transfer BTC out, even if it's in the exact amount of the tainted coins transferred in, how do you decide whether the outgoing coins represent the tainted ones or the untainted ones?

Say there's a 50 BTC untainted wallet, and tainted 1 BTC is transferred in, then 1 BTC is transferred out. How do you decide whether that outgoing 1 BTC was drawn on the tainted portion or the untainted portion of the account?

As a foreigner I find this state/federal distinction terribly confusing. So cannabis is illegal in the US under federal law, but not under state law in some states? Doesn't that mean it's still probable cause that someone is breaking the (federal) law, and therefore reasonable grounds to search someone?
Some countries do this already; e.g. Finland.

I agree with this viewpoint, though I think it's also possible that a lone actor, frustrated with Obamacare, acted out using the only tools he knew in a 1/2 hour.

It wouldn't surprise me if healthcare.gov was very vulnerable to DDOS attacks - we are talking about a 2013 site which is hosted in a single data-center.
> I'm now immune to MongoDB bashing now but jesus keep up with updates.

We do want Jesus to keep up with the updates, for sure, but this isn't just about a random slip-up, goes a bit deeper than that. This wasn't an unfortunate bug, "oh we meant to do all we could to keep your data safe" it was a deliberate design decision.

Dishonesty and shadiness was the problem. When finally they started shipping with better defaults, did we see an apology? Was anyone responsible terminated? Nope. Don't remember.

Now, it could all be a statistics fluke and people randomly all decided to bash MongoDB, say, more than Basho, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, HBase and other database products? Odd isn't it. Or, isn't it more rational, that it isn't quite random, there is a reason for it.

When developers sell to developers, it is expected a certain level of honesty. If I claim I am building a credit card processing API but I deliberately add a feature that randomly double charges to gain extra performance, you should be very upset about. Yes, it is in the documentation, on page 156, that says in fine print "oh yeah enable safe transaction, should have read that". And you as a result should probably never buy or use my product and stop trusting me with credit card processing from them on.

The bottom line is, they are probably good guys to have beers with but I wouldn't trust them with storing data.
If you hire contractors, treat them like contractors.

Show HN/PG: Our Startup, Philantro.  
Hi everyone, for quite some time we've been building a platform to enhance nonprofit visibility and making giving personal again. We've kept it in stealth mode from fear our equipment wouldn't stand traffic if this gets much attention during development but after this last pitch rejection letter - we're bitter and it's time to just do it.

The nonprofit industry needs major disruption. We're growing with nonprofits, now at 201 and our goal is 500 by Spring and 1000 by next Fall. We've added a few ourselves as demos. We're growing with users despite us still being in beta.

We would love the community to check it out and give us some feedback. We could also use leads for great nonprofit organizations or investors looking into that space that we can reach out to.

We'll lets do this.

Is there any way for the lay man to get in on an IPO like this, or is it purely for insiders? (I'm thinking about the next one...)
My hope is that you take this (rather good-looking) code, and port it to a closed-source, for profit tool based on node-webkit. Let me buy it for $100, and run it on my local machine, and not suffer the downsides and dependency inherent in the SASS model.

It looks like a nice product, but honestly, unless I control the bits (or at least have a nice illusion of controlling the bits, e.g. what I get when I use Chrome or Firefox) then I'm not interested. I'm especially not interested in a SASS that essentially holds my tooling and my code hostage, that if I don't pay the fee then my tools go away. That's just a stupid decision to get into that kind of a dependent relationship with a tool vendor. If the last few years have taught us anything its that SASS is convenient and wonderful in many ways, but has some severe, even debilitating downsides: no privacy, no control, no freedom.

There are some SASS tools that I use, but it's with increasing reluctance, and I have "plan B" ready at hand. (Although honestly I haven't looked into what it would take to export all of my Evernote data). There is no chance in hell I'd ever use a SASS IDE. It's just too important.

There's another reason why a SASS IDE will never fly, at least with me, and that's the fact that once you commit to it, you can never, ever code offline. For many people this is not a deal-breaker, but for those who place a premium on uninterrupted, undistracted coding going offline for a while is invaluable. Of course, any SASS app will not be available unless you are actively connected to the internet, so this use case is out.

All of the money-related reasons others have talked about are valid, but there are also some legal reasons where you have to go public (such as a certain number of shareholders, which comes into play when companies give stock options as compensation). Facebook would still be private if they legally could have delayed any longer, I believe. You are entirely right that there are huge advantages to being private in a lot of cases.

Different licensing and payments to get realtime stock data from the exchanges. From what I remember, if you don't pay, then you can't get anything fresher than 15 minutes ago (which is what google finance is at actually).

(I worked for a custom financial website company, and we would "service" a lot of those contracts; i.e. you buy reuters data, but don't want to consume all that yourself, so we do it for you and build out tools that you give to your customers)
Wow, the government brings in a program to genuinely try and help people, and the people want to tear it down because it "violates their rights".

In his very first talk, the anecdote was that he polled Swedish professors at his university, i.e. his colleagues, and got lower than 25%, and he consequently compared them to chimpanzees in the same way.

Really, the whole chimpanzee thing is for helping explain why "lower than X%" means "worse than random chance" and nothing else.

The important paragraph in the article was this:

> The fact that humans do worse than chimps shows the problem is not a lack of knowledge, but the result of having preconceived ideas, Rosling says - ideas that are years, or sometimes decades out of date.

GIN indexes are big, but Mongo's indexes are bigger than all other PostgreSQL indexes, and Mongo also requires much more space for the data.
I agree 100%, and am especially excited to see automated testing as going from "impossible dream" (c. 1999) to "reasonable, broadly expected quality practice". It has been a long road.

However, there's one obvious problem that isn't mentioned: hiring mercenaries half-way around the world who have never met you, don't care about you, don't care about your product, and don't care about your audience.

I think it can be ok to do that sometimes, but it's idiocy to do that and expect to work in the same way as having a permanent employee who sits next to you and who will lose their job if the business fails.

Software developers, even the ones 8 time zones away, are actual human beings not coding robots with coin slots in their chests. If you are going to strip out all of the human connection and replace it with 3 milestone payments plus some spec documents, you can't expect them to care beyond what's necessary to cash the checks. (They might anyhow, out of a sense of professionalism, but you can't expect it.)

The only contracting or remote-team situations I've seen work even moderately well have done a lot to create real human connection.
MoPub is the key for Twitter, I agree. It offers them a way to jump in as the leader in multi-touch/multi-device attribution, something that marketers will pay through the nose for (I know I would). I'm really interested to see what they do with it.

The lockup applies to shares on the open market after IPO. That doesn't preclude someone from participating in the IPO itself.
Useful tool. The interesting part is scanning the images and seeing where the flatness works and the "3D" effect was unnecessary, vs. the parts where the 3D really does work quite well.

For example, the Twitter "Home" button looks much better with the 3D effect, whereas the Github "Edit/Raw/Blame/..." buttons don't really seem to need it at all.
Don't worry, you don't use 90% of the words in the english language either, but it's still useful ;)
No one's asked for it that I've heard, so it's not in the plans.

I'd consider adding DNG if there's a good external library. The individual camera raws, that's more of a thankless task with how fast they change/multiply.
Not an expert either, but my guess? Facebook had its IPO hayday and Facebook is now another company listed on the market. Markets are mostly down today and Facebook is following the trend.

Twitter is a hot new IPO and people are jumping on early in the hopes of it rising in price.

Exactly. As I've said elsewhere: "Flat design" is as useful a term as "red design" or "round design". These are all just tools the designer has to build hierarchy, contrast, and affordance in a UI.
I'm launching a marketplace within a month or so for custom machining and fabrication. Vendors want instantaneous quotes and labels. I'll probably be integrating with EasyPost to start. Here are some thoughts:

I need an API so a vendor can print labels from my site. I want one-click shipping so that they get 1) a label 2) billed 3) pickup. Speed is important to my vendors. Most of them bill hourly and think of their time that way so anything that reduces time per job is a big deal.

My flow looks like:

Customer enters specs and shipping info for a price quote -> Vendor responds with a quote including shipping

If all goes well, I'll also do instantaneous pricing for certain machining processes. Unless I missed something in the docs, EasyPost apparently does not do quotes based solely on zip/dimensions/weight and I never got a response from support when I asked. For me, this means that to get a shipping quote, customers also need to enter at least an "address_line1". There may be a business/technical reason for this, but I'm worried that having to enter that additional piece of personally-identifying info on my site will be a dealbreaker for first-time customers while I'm starting up.

For my use case, I'd like to see Stripe Connect functionality for shipping: vendors sign up for shipping through OAuth and then I interact with the shipping service on behalf of each vendor. On EasyPost, it appears that a UPS/Fedex/USPS/whatever
account is tied to the EasyPost account. It was suggested that I bill vendors for shipping and go through my own carrier accounts, but this seems messy.

If you could address some concerns for marketplaces in the future, I'd be pretty happy.
I believe going public poisons any company. CEOs change their vision from long-term to insanely short-term. Gotta make those quarterly numbers or they're screwed.

There have been a few exceptions to this, Apple being the most famous one. Facebook was on the same track but the SEC rules about share ownership forced their hand.

I thought that it was mainly successful for Google, but that it was Google being such an insanely in demand stock that led to the success, not the auction itself. Basically, a Google IPO couldn't really fail. I do know that the banks hated it, and the only reason Google got away with it is because Larry and Sergey couldn't have cared less.
Many Facebook shareholders sold at the IPO. Zuckerberg sold 30M shares and other large investors with huge allocations also sold some. It was calculated, not a free-for-all.
