This post outlines some of the most expensive parts of deploying, operating, and maintaining an application that operates on "NoSQL" databases like Mongo, and in my experience, DynamoDB:

1) Implicit Schemas. We avoid this completely by doing production migrations and re-indexes on every new field we add. Its expensive, and we have to write/test/run scripts in production. At times I wish I could just write a Rails migration on an RDS instance and call it a day. N-1 compatibility isn't hard to accomplish with good code reviews.

2) Search. Want to search and join like in the old days? Good luck. Using a NoSQL DB as the primary authoritative store of record is great, but you'll need a secondary indexes for any searches you want to do. If you need to look up an object on a new field (or even one that already exists in all of your data) if you haven't built an index for it you will have to.

3) Serving Clients. Because of the schemaless-blobby nature of writing clients, things get real messy the minute you have multiple services or applications reading or writing to a DB. To get around this, you have to put a service in front of it and serve the data from some RPC technology, which is an extra step and requires more development and maintenance.

4) Administration. There aren't a long history yet of robust toolsets and "science" behind different schemaless NoSQL databases. Meaning which one you choose has a huge impact on your ability to fine tune it, debug consistency or other expectation issues, and do things like proper failover, backups, restores, etc. Knowledge between similar NoSQL DBs doesn't transfer as well so your mileage will vary more so than on SQL databases (MySQL vs PostgresSQL, for instance).

NoSQL has its place and purpose, but it is rarely as the "one database that rules them all" that many businesses end up with. I'd be interested in counter stories.

Not to take away from the merits of her case at all (which is still to be decided), but she is probably not hurting for money.

She was earning what, $500,000 (i.e. half a million) a year at Kleiner?

The USD 16 million she's seeking in damages is for lost income (apparently she could have earned up to $3 million a year if she got promoted at Kleiner).

Not to mention her current husband is Alphonse 'Buddy' Fletcher Jr, an ex-hedge fund manager, who also sued his former employee in a $1.3 million lawsuit for discrimination. (Ironically, he's also been sued himself by two guys for sexual harassment, and apparently lost, but that was settled privately, so we don't know how much that was for).

Either way, neither Pao nor her husband are hurting for cash.

Part of the problem with these stats is that depending on the state of the game the person might not even be trying to pick it up. If you need 2 pins to win, get the 2 easy pins instead of trying to pick up the hard spare where you might miss.

The other thing is that pros don't leave something like the greek church very often. It was left 785 times in 447k frames. The data on picking it up just isn't that significant. It also means it isn't going to get practiced nearly as much as something more common.

Also, there are more right handed people than left, and it shows in the data. mirror image shots aren't "easier," they are just easier for a certain handed player. As most are right handed, the shots that are easier for them will show up as easier in the stats.
Maybe because their investors are Wall Street and other large financial players and they look at them and say "hey, you're just like me! I like me!"

Well, MTBE was phased out because of groundwater contamination. If you include cleanup costs, I doubt it would be cheaper than ethanol.

Depends on how you define cost. MTBE infiltrates groundwater very easily, and cleaning up contaminated sites is ridiculously expensive.

you believe that the entire CIA as it currently exists is unethical and illegal.

The CIA, as it appears now, does a huge number of unethical and apparently illegal things. It appears to be beyond oversight or control. I do find it really hard to support any action by them, just as I would find it hard to support FSB or MI6 actions. The CIA appears to be a threat to civil liberties and representative democracy in the US itself right now.

But you're falling into a rhetorical trap: just because coffee is hot, you don't wait until the coffee is cold to drink it. You can judge relative degrees of hot, just as we can judge relative degrees of unethicality. It's pretty darn bad to assassinate US citizens without due process, and I'd say due process in public, whether the citizen is abroad or on homeland soil. It's pretty darn bad to torture anyone. It's less bad to attempt to crack iOS to spy on people, and it would be even less wrong to explore the exploitability of iOS. The latter may not be wrong at all. It's completely OK to analyze open source intelligence.
One thing most people who claim chargebacks are needed overlook is the impact the availability of chargebacks has on reducing the types of actions merchants take which might require one. The existence of the chargeback mechanism itself means merchants are more likely to ensure customer satisfaction to avoid them. That doesn't mean they aren't needed it could also mean they are incredibly effective at limited merchant fraud or laziness in dispute resolution.

The majority of corn produced in the United States is used for cattle feed (and the rest for things like HFCS.) If you think it's crazy to burn edible food in a car, it's about as crazy to use it to fuel cow metabolism. You could feed way more people if you ate the corn, but as it turns out, U.S. industrial corn production is pretty much for anything but eating.

The IntelliJ IDEA Database plugin [1] on which 0xDBE is based on has existed for quite a while. I'm not sure when it become very useful as I've only used it for a few years, but it is quite powerful and useful.

The SQL code completion is quite good (and it caches your entire database schema so it is very quick). That's not particularly special on it's own, but what makes this especially useful is IDEA's "language injection" [2] feature. This allows you to, for example, get completion for SQL when it is contained in some other language, which could be anything (e.g. a Java String, Ruby String, XML, etc). It will also analyze and report errors in this SQL on the fly.

And SQL statements contained in concatenated strings are no longer a problem because you can edit those in a separate editor window where you are only editing the SQL, and it automatically gets placed into the concatenated string.

Not sure if it addresses all of your specific concerns, though.

"temporary work. They need to be renewed every 3 years, even for the same employer, and offer no path towards permanent residence."

But TNs are renewable infinitely. You did need to call yourself a systems analyst. Systems analyst was on the list of approved TN jobs but computer programmer was excluded, even though they're the same thing. I believe software engineer was recently added even though that is also the exact same thing as a computer programmer or systems analyst. The Dept of Labor has a dozen or more objectively indistinguishable words for programmer.

There is a route to permanent residence, of course. You can either just keep renewing or you can marry an American. You probably can't afford to retire in the Bay Area as a programmer anyway if your spouse isn't insisting so you might as well return home when you're done working. Canada and Mexico are nice places to go home to at the end of a career.

Further reading for the interested:

- "All studies indicated that current corn ethanol technologies are much less petroleum-intensive than gasoline but have greenhouse gas emissions similar to those of gasoline. However, many important environmental effects of biofuel production are poorly understood. New metrics that measure specific resource inputs are developed, but further research into environmental metrics is needed. Nonetheless, it is already clear that large-scale use of ethanol for fuel will almost certainly require cellulosic technology. "
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/311/5760/506

- "[Prior] analyses have failed to count the carbon emissions that occur as farmers worldwide respond to higher prices and convert forest and grassland to new cropland to replace the grain (or cropland) diverted to biofuels. By using a worldwide agricultural model to estimate emissions from land-use change, we found that corn-based ethanol, instead of producing a 20% savings, nearly doubles greenhouse emissions over 30 years and increases greenhouse gases for 167 years. " http://www.whrc.org/resources/publications/pdf/Searchingeret...

This second citation is key. Most of my friends who aren't studying this stuff all the time aren't aware of the critical role land use changes (e.g. deforestation) plays in global carbon emissions, and biofuel's perturbation of international food markets tends to accelerate these deleterious trends.
Given that Lane and Nazre were already married when commencing relationships with other women whom they met in the workplace, and given that Lane's second wife was the one to relinquish her job, it's not hard to see how Pao would draw a similar inference. Of course, this is on top of the inappropriateness of responding to a HR complaint with rose-tinted anecdotes.

You are confused. HTML is used to describe the structure of the document, not its visuals. CSS has nothing to do with the HTML content so your complaint about the property/value thing is misplaced and inlining CSS, as you show, is frowned upon.

Then you show the tag/tag thing as if that is a HTML pattern but what you show as your example is just gobbldey-gook nonsense and you claim it's typical.

We're already eating too much corn, no thank you. If you check the label on the packaged goods you buy, corn is pretty much in all of them in one form or another.

We should grow less corn, let the cows eat grass, and have people eat people food (which might occasionally include a corn on the cob).

I don't think unwanted advances is or should be illegal unless you make workplace relationships illegal too - since for a relationship to happen an 'advance' was required in the first place. Otherwise you'd make successful advances legal and rejected advances illegal, which basically means "Lockup all the rejects in jail."

Pao and Nazre ended up in a relationship so those advances were only part of the courting process. He was a dick for lying about his spouse but lying to get into a relationship isn't illegal.

What's in front of the jury is whether there was misconduct company and its employees in handling the situation post Pao-Nazre breakup.

E85 is SO far from "essentially race gas". It has much LOWER energy density than non-ethanol gas.

It takes 1.39 gallons of E85 to have the same energy as 1 gallon of conventional dino juice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

The only way to get more power with E85 is to have some sort of extreme engine running INSANE amounts of turbo boost, like the Koenesegg CCXR. In a normal street car any level of octane high enough to keep the engine from pre-detonating is more than sufficient - there is no boost in power.
I agree with all those points. All I'm saying is that if you argue that using corn ethanol as fuel is bad because it's "burning food", then you have to confront all the other ways in which the agricultural system is not really about making food.
Complaints such as his, and most of the comments so far below, show a total lack of knowledge of the science and underpinnings behind the whole thing and the only supported proof throughout is silly, invalid examples of markup no one would ever use.

More laughable are the attempts at making HTML look like a programming language, which it is not, and I'd bet that comes as news to many.
> It's a good idea to avoid ethanol gas, on principle if for no other reason. Processing edible food to burn in your car (with all the implied market consequences) is kinda crazy.

OTOH, ten years ago, the prices for farm products were so low that farmers in countries with no farm subsidies could not make ends meet. The biofuel industry has at least had the benefit of making the lot of farmers in such countries - who by the way were among the poorest people in these countries - a bit less dismal.

I've heard that ethanol production actually uses more fuel than it produces, so you'd be better off just not producing it and using the fuel directly.

On the other hand, it allows oil companies to pretend they're doing something about climate change (without changing any of their infrastructure) and it gives farmers more money, so you'd have to take on the oil lobby AND the farming lobby to get rid of it.
The only use for this I can think of would be to make it take less characters.
