I am here to convince people. I don't think the chances are good, but I give it a shot. I think that the massive fear of terrorism is the worst consequence of 9/11 in this country, and that it has caused us to damage ourselves far more than the terrorists themselves could ever hope to accomplish. I try to do my bit to roll back that opinion when the occasion arises.

There's a thin line between "this guy is a scumbag because he's part of al Qaeda" and "this guy is a scumbag because he's a Republican." This is why we have due process. Or rather, why we're supposed to have it, even though we've given up on it for al Qaeda, or for people we think are related.
It doesn't seem scalable though, because it only works for two types. It would be better to have some sort of structural union type (like Ceyleon).

I guess it's relevant because the OP is saying that they wouldn't use it because they think that facts are irrelevant.

Definitely, we'd have to look at the studies in this space, namely whether journalists cite their facts, or write their pieces using citable studies/facts, etc. So I also won't accept the OP's statement of it as fact.

Though, in my, supposedly biased, opinion I'd say journalists are quite adept at twisting facts to suit their points, and also of omitting (i.e. cherry picking) facts that support their views/points.

This reminds me of a time at a previous company years ago, where we experienced an issue that felt similar, although the root cause was quite different.

Basically, we had multiple teams all launching/terminating web servers. Unfortunately, they were all in the same EC2 deployment, and more often than not our load balancers from one team would send traffic to the web servers of another team. Furthermore, our setups were similar enough that this would sometimes cause bad results for users. We fixed it by making sure that our web servers on every team spoke on different ports. Not elegant, but effective (until two teams accidentally picked the same ports).

These days we have good enough infrastructure tools that this problem should never happen. But in 2009, at a company that was overwhelmed with growth, those sort of things happen.

I'm not entirely sure it's useful. At least not in a home context.

Elevated inflammation could be a sign of something like arthritis, cancer, crohn's disease, a heart attack, or a dozen other serious things... or you could just have a mild bacterial infection that will resolve on its own... or you might have just gotten back from the gym.

I've never had a doctor test for inflammation markers unless there's something else noticeably wrong and they're trying to perform a differential diagnosis. It's just not something that you'd want to routinely test for, let alone know how to interpret in a meaningful way.

And summing all of that up into "drink a green smoothie" doesn't help anyone. That smoothie isn't going cure a bacterial infection. (But it might sell your product to health conscious consumers who don't know better.)

Rosetta finds comet's water vapour to be significantly different from Earth's
> Uber's innovation was in removing a hails requirement for a mutual line-of-sight between the passenger and a cab. This increases the number of cabs accessible to a user. It also allows cabs to move towards users, which is analogous to providing an index to speed up a locality of reference problem in a computer [0].

That's not Uber's innovation, since livery cars are not allowed to accept hailed fares in most places anyway. The only difference is an app instead of traditional voice.

I don't understand your point about gypsies; "gypsy cab" is a pretty widely understood term for an illegal, unlicensed cab. At least, Uber seems to think so: http://blog.uber.com/2013/08/18/stay-safe-avoid-gypsy-cabs/

It would be useful if the data meets two requirements:

but

-you don't know how the schema might evolve (beyond the fields you use in your partial index, that is) and want to save yourself the hassle of frequent schema migrations.

I don't think that an IDE model makes sense because writing in human language is more complex and nuanced than programming languages, which are more limited in scope. At the end of the day, IDEs are shims to match human desires to the language the machine expects.
Color me surprised, but when we get to the point where we run HTML to build a browser that is supposed to be the tool used to render and display such HTML... haven't we gone too far? Is a browser necessary? What is rendering that HTML if not a browser?

I mean, I get it, a browser is used to browse (duh) the internet, not necessarily to render HTML, but at this point we really need to ask ourselves "why are we doing this, again?".

EDIT: Still impressive though, nice proof of concept!

"That was when the machine’s bearings became clogged with grit after digging only about 10 percent of a two-mile highway tunnel beneath downtown."

Perhaps. Perhaps more significant is that (all this from memory when I did some research after learning about this Charlie Foxtrot) the machine failed 3 days after it chewed through the steel casing of well sunk and then left there by the same state government org that's running the whole project.

Almost needless to say, they didn't tell anyone about this minor detail for a month. And while no one was talking when I checked, it's obviously very questionable this will be covered under Hitachi's warranty coverage.

Another minor detail is that that state org, their transportation department or whatever, has a wonderful financial setup for this project. Well, for them, anyway. They're paying a fixed amount, and the city will have to cover any overages. Which at this point look to be substantial, I think they'll have blown through the project's ~$48 million reserve by now.

Oh, and that earthquake damaged viaduct? Estimates are that if the tunneling or other activities like this rescue cause it to drop by 2 inches (1 more than the hopefully local drop reported in this article), they'll have to close it.
The problem now though is that robotics and automation is more than just engineering the machine, the challenges are in managing and building the AI. This area of study and research is not so active in Michigan.
This is a scenario in which you do know the query set ahead of time, and there's still a considerable performance benefit to using partial indexes over any combination of multi-column indexes. The main insight is that the "high value" events are a tiny slice of the table -- about 0.05% of rows for each type of event.

Let's say you care about ten different types of "high value" events, which reference a total of six columns. I'll assume we can cover them with three multi-column indexes, although it wouldn't be hard to cook up a realistic scenario in which you'd need more. That means, for each INSERT/UPDATE, you need to write to three different indexes.

Given that the event definitions are selective, a single partial index requires a write for about 0.05% of INSERT/UPDATEs. Ten of these will cumulatively require one write on ~0.5% of inserts -- a 600x improvement over the conservative estimate above. That is, the cost of of maintaining the set of multi-column indexes should be much, much higher than the cost of maintaining the set of partial indexes.

As I mentioned in the article, the partial index approach also allows a more flexible set of predicates. What if you want to index for rows with a field that matches a fixed regex?

Edit: Apparently I can't respond to your response -- does HN have a chain length limit?

Yes -- for indexing the single event definition used for the profiling here, a multi-column index would absolutely be preferable to three single-column indexes. I didn't think to include the option because I assumed it wouldn't scale to a case in which you have ten different event types that use an overlapping but not identical set of fields. Definitely would have been a good idea to include a comment to this effect in the post.

As a Houstonion this gives me pause. Houston is a massive economic center by nearly every measure. It is also home to the most diverse county and university in the US. There are large successful technology companies here. Yet, Detroit and Dallas (arch enemy of Houston) are getting TechStars before us.

Part of the reason we don't attract accelerators like TechStars is the lack of a healthy startup ecosystem. I am NOT saying that the well intentioned community organizers aren't working hard. It's just that most of the VC here goes to Oil & Gas projects. If your tech isn't energy related it won't hit the radar. The technology startup successes I've seen in my 30 or so years here were built inspite of a (nonexistent) local startup ecosystem. Lastly, 9 out of 10 great people I've worked with here have left to go places with more tech opportunity. The talent is voting with its feet. Frankly, I'm done too. I'm on the first airplane out of here once I get my feet under me. I'm sad that it has to be this way. Maybe if I make it rich I'll come back and invest.

You make it sound like there's no benefit to programmers to consolidating around a single platform. But there are several:

- It removes the risk of spending time and money learning what turns out to be the "wrong" (i.e. an unsuccessful) platform

- It avoids splitting the effort of tooling vendors, library authors, etc. across many different platforms, reducing the amount of redundant effort spent reimplementing things in platform Y that already exist in platform X and freeing them up to work on unique ideas instead

- It brings the largest possible number of people underneath one umbrella, which makes that community more economically attractive and therefore increases the number and quality of tools and services they have access to

Not that it's all sunshine and roses, of course, but it's not without advantages.

Interesting article to propose for Hacker News: it's essentially pointing out unrepairable lies at the heart of the best advertisements. Hacker News readers aren't totally in favor of advertising, but there's a general slightly warm feeling about them.

It is rare to read an article that talks openly about someting other than very obvious falsehoods in ads, and this article does the rare thing. It talks about deceptions at the ver core of "lifestyle" ads.

> Believe it or not, this topic has come up on Hacker News before. To paraphrase my comment from then (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7324897): while Moldovans speak a language that's very similar to Romanian, in a 2004 census 60% self-identified their primary language as 'Moldovan', as compared to 16.5% who say they speak 'Romanian'.

You've been refuted in the very comment thread you've linked to, lol.

Romania has existed as 4 smaller states [0] for a very long time, inhabited mainly by a people descendant from the native Dacians[1,2] and the colonising Romans. Moldova, the geographical region, was one of these states.

Romania's steps towards unification:

* in 1601 Michael the Brave manages to unify all Romanian principates, albeit very briefly

* in 1881 Walachia and Moldova unify by electing the same leader

* Transylvania is added to the mix after WWI

* because of our initial German allegiance in WWII, we lose half of Moldova (now the Republic of Moldova) to Russia

The point of my short, not that accurate history lesson is that Romanians and Moldavians are the same friggin' people, that had the same language for many, many centuries. Even if the language in the Republic of Moldova would've diverged significantly since WWII (which it has certainly not), it would still be merely a dialect as opposed to a different language. Romanian and Moldavian are less different today than e.g. German and its Austrian dialect are (hence why Moldavian is called a subdialect [3]).

> As linguists say, a language is a dialect with an army and a navy. Whether 'Moldovan' is its own language or simply a regional dialect of 'Romanian' is entirely a question of politics.

Don't believe most elections/referendums from Moldova. There's an acute Russian influence in the Republic of Moldavia, manifested as both systemic brainwashing of older/poorer people, and control over politics and economy, and that's corroborated by the systemic electoral fraud (also present in Romania today [4,5] – sigh).

(Moreover, rumour has it that Russia has armed forces conveniently stationed not too far from the border with Moldova.)

In this example, a relational schema would work fine, and might have been easier to read. We use HSTORE at heap (until JSONB ships!) because we're processing event blobs with thousands of different fields, of which most are irrelevant for most events.

The added flexibility benefit is also nice. The ability to add a new property without migrating a schema has saved a lot of work.

I've built that. Just to be clear: this is a personal project, not a mozilla project (even though I'm a mozilla employee).

Also - many people find it silly to use HTML instead of the operating system toolkit library. But it's not HTML or native. It can be both. In this case, the HTML code define the layout, and we can draw native widgets inside (look at the <input type=submit> tag in HTML, it's a native widget). For example, if you run the current build on Mac, you'll see that new tabs use Yosemite "vibrancy" effect. Native look and native performance, can, in theory, be achieved.

Just because it's fulfilled by private companies does not mean it isn't a public good. I believe that transport, especially inter-city transport (which has many more externalities than intra-city transport - e.g. traffic, pollution, mobility) should be managed as a public service. Many cities agree.

Simply said, the fact that I can always get a taxi makes it more viable for me to not own a car. Less cars in a city mean more space and less traffic, both of which are desirable for the entire population of the city, and both of which have significantly more positive payoff than the cost of some minimum amount of taxis on the street at all times. Therefore, in my eyes, it makes sense to enforce such minimum via regulation, even though it is not profitable (and will manifest itself in an increased fare for other, more profitable rides).
