a binary comarison of features does not properly compare the technologies.

the implementation makes a large difference in the quality of the software and it's use.. objectively you could compare a ferarri and a honda this way and they would look comparatively similar.

postgresql isn't as feature complete as oracle.. but comparing it to mysql now is almost a moot point.

if it's not going to kill your company- or you're making something new from scratch- you're really doing yourself a disservice by not using postgresql.

there's more than a few reasons for this but a few that come to mind is:

* Sane Connector libraries (especially in C++ where mysql is inconsistent, lock prone and buggy)

* SQL standards compliance, not my pgsqlisms (there are, but they have namespaces which are obvious)

* MySQL has a habit of being massively inconsistent or not running in an expected way (input validation is very lacking, along with things like, changing column widths which irrevocably alters data)[0]

I mean, personally I'd rather not have a relational database which eats my data.

Your response gave the impression that you think you should get into YC because of your programming ability. Startups aren't about your code skill. It helps, but there are several things that matter more:

- your personality & attitude
- the idea
- the size of the market
- the skillsets of your cofounder(s), and your ability to communicate/work together
For photorealistic video yes, but APNG is much more suited than anything else for animated graphics where SVG isn't a good fit.
Why Many Programmers Don't Like ASP.NET?
I know these project managers. They ask for a 15 line JS helper "library" enterprise level support and they start to scratch their head "what if the developer abandons it".
Hardly. Mobile Safari just added APNG, and web video is still not going to be as convenient as images for some time to come.

It's pretty impossible having a centralized dispatch service that anyone can join without there being a "middleman" of some kind. Someone's got to write the software and vet the drivers, after all.

I love Uber's arrogance. The local laws being violated are more often than not the product of regulatory capture, inefficient processes, and antiquated eras. The regulators have been whining like crazy about "unsafe drivers" and all sorts of other downright libelous nonsense that it takes nothing short of flouting the rules to disprove, to say "It turns out that when we ignore the regulators, the world doesn't actually end after all, and in some cases actually gets better" - a valuable lesson for business and everyperson alike.

No person with power likes being ignored, so you get actions like this. Petty tyrants, retaliating at the slight. That's how I see the governments in this case.
"That would mean, if the threat were carried out, that the Americans would literally allow the German population to remain vulnerable to a brewing attack discovered by the Americans by withholding that information from their government."

Oh the irony.
I'm guessing someone smarter than me has already thought of this, but imagine another alien scientist observing Mary through this entire experiment, with the ability to inspect at the neuronal level the state of her brain at any instant.

When Mary steps out of the room, we (humans considering this problem) would intuitively expect her to say "Wow, this sensation is like nothing I could ever have predicted based on my previous knowledge. I understand this in a way I couldn't have before!" How would the alien interpreter analyze the situation?

The alien may say that these sensations activate a different part of Mary's brain and alter the structure to create memories. If she were put back into the room, she could recall what it was like to perceive color. These memories could be defined as knowledge, but the alien might not consider that knowledge important. It might just say that is an artifact of the operation of her primitive brain that these sorts of neuronal patterns can only be created by perception with her eyes. From it's perspective, the entire interaction is still entirely physical. The alien could have predicted her reaction just prior to her stepping out of the room by looking at the structure and state of her brain.

The alien may add prior to her stepping out "By the way, she's going to say that experiencing color is different than knowing of it (qualia). This is a curious artifact the way her brain works." I think it would be impossible for me (a human) to prove the alien wrong. From the aliens perspective, this wouldn't be fundamentally different than me writing a program 'printf("I feel hungry");'. It would be difficult to convince me that the computer is actually hungry. It is programmed to say that.

The reason I added the alien is because we tend to empathize with Mary when we imagine the experiment. But, if consciousness is an illusion that our brain is programmed to tell, it's difficult for us to consider this problem objectively.
The Guardian (yeah, I know) had a very in-depth look at how the current progress in fighting Ebola from the viewpoint of Prof. Tom Solomon: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/14/meet-the-man-le.... Long read, so make sure you have a cup of coffee handy.
See also human echolocation (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation). The experience, however, will not be like a bat's, not only because of the latter's greater acuity but also because humans are conscious, self-aware and have language to reason about their experiences.
Out of interest, what's the standard "Railsy" way to secure an API? I know that Devise comes with support for PSKs and basic auth, so is that pretty much what everyone does as a first step?
Actually, it is computationally much more difficult. You're masking another step in that the "ratio_ji" has to be calculated and stored for every artist-subscriber combination, which is significantly more complicated than calculating a percentage overall. Since they are almost certainly using map-reduce to calculate these metrics, you're basically running a nested map-reduce. I mean, it's not an unsolvable problem, but it takes a non-trivial amount compute resources that aren't free to solve a problem that isn't really a problem.

But yeah, there are many reasons its not calculated this way. Revenue predictability is another reason - companies like to be able to forecast revenue and that's hard if revenue has only a tenuous link to the other KPIs you use to run your business (which is the point you made).

Honestly, the current payout scheme makes more sense. Is it totally fair to the labels? Maybe not; but the labels it's most unfair to aren't making enough under either scenario for it to matter much. Would it really matter to an indie label if their monthly payout was $20 instead of $5? Once you get bigger than a few hundred listeners, the law of large numbers kicks in.
> Table Changes Without Locking
> MyIsam uses table-locking to gain speed. That’s fine if many sessions involve reading; but when writing to a table, the writing session gets exclusive access and other sessions must wait until its finished. But PostgreSQl and InnoDB both use row-level locking…so again, it’s much less of an issue.

I am not sure I can agree with this one as well, but at least postgres does normally not use row level locking anymore (in 10 years?) because of MVCC.

I think commercial insurance covers some special cases. Like medical payments for passengers regardless of accident fault, with very high maximums. States generally don't require a super high level of coverage for ordinary drivers.
It's definitely not for everyone. In my work 90% of the people I interact with are working remotely, so working from home half of the week doesn't really affect me. Not having to commute in the morning has a profound effect on my mood. I've also learned that rolling out of bed and just plunking down to work makes me less productive than getting up and showering and putting on at least some casual clothes. However I also have a wife and kids that come home after I'm done with work, so I'm not fully isolated all day.
APNG is a funny, political beast. It basically evolved after Mozilla decided to nuke MNG support to make Firefox slimmer and then needed to re-invent a transparency-capable animation format for browser "throbbers". There were calls to replace libpng with libmng which purported to support both PNG and MNG at the same binary size, but those never panned out.

IIRC, individuals in the PNG group took the whole thing as a slight and then refused to incorporate it into the official spec, leaving it as a bit of an orphan. The Chrome guys never bothered implementing it and quietly worked on WebP.

I suspect that part of the reason APNG never received widespread adoption was bad blood from MNG never getting proper attention. While MNG was kind of a crappy spec in retrospect, it was still way better than an animated GIF.

Unfortunately JNG was also a casualty in this whole war -- a format that could have been both lossless and supported proper alpha transparency.

> The fact that the money actually made is less than a dollar doesn't really matter as the intention is there to make money. Not saying I agree with the rule, but it seems to be pretty straightforward with relatively little room for interpretation.

Monetizing the video later may be evidence of intent to use the drone commercially at the time the drone was flown, but its fairly weak evidence, since its quite possible for the intent to be formed after the drone was flown. The purpose of an act can't change retroactively, but the proceeds of an act carried out with one purpose may well have a different purpose than that of the act when it was carried out.

Now, obviously, in the case where the party flying the drone has an ongoing operation of monetizing videos that exists prior to the time the drone is flown, flies the drone, and quickly turns around and monetizes the video from the drone, the combination of factors is pretty strong evidence that the drone was used commercially rather than the video being commercialized after the drone was flown.

A basic problem with de-indentification of data is useful uniqueness. The sensitive data that needs de-identified tends to be the data that provides the uniqueness needed to make the data useful. Sufficiently scrubbed data often doesn't work well for actual testing.

In my opinion, the US is slowly forcing Europe to rethink its overall alliance with them, especially under a President who is maybe the worst foreign politician, even after Bush, because he manages to show basically every ally or partner that they can kiss their ass goodbye.

And Europe is reacting. France is strengthening its ties to the Maghreb and north African states again, Germany plans on increasing it's defense spending the first time since 1990, and from Top-Tier politicians the Idea of combined armed European Forces is voiced more and more.
Additionally, The EU is actively charming the non-NATO-members like Finland into participation, and with its East-Europe policy adds more strategic debt and more economic powerhouses in waiting to their territory

Ironically, the Russian actions in Ukraine force Europe to stand closer together, and may as well lead to even tighter integration.

Additionally, if you take the military capability of France, GB, Germany, Italy and Finland, The necessity for an American "Proctection" is scarecely needed.
If you add the extremely capable european defence industry, which in big parts was crippled by the "Standardization" enforced through the NATO leading members to buy US defence technology, and the well-educated "Mittelstand", an increasing US-Isolationism would only hurt in the short run.

I was comparing to the case where doctors/researchers would seek out people to participate in such trials, not ordinary, patient-sought medical care.

If you want to compare to "patient"-sought services, then there are probably less abuses of people who report crimes.
Not OP but, I have been at home for the last year. Married with a kid and another on the way. ~30 years old.

I love it.

I do at times feel the loneliness, but we have worked hard as a team to make it possible for me to be "in the office" as much as possible. We set up a persistent Google Hangout on a 60" TV that I can jump in at any time and be a part of the rest of the non-remote team.

I love being able to rush in to my kid's room when he wakes up in the morning, saying goodnight when he takes his nap. I love eating from my own kitchen. I love working outside of home.

Of the 14 CVE reports, only 7 applied to LibreSSL. None of the "High" severity applied:

I am okay with rounding off amounts with my close friends. But with other people there is that social angle with being comfortable enough when I tell them I will buy you soda next time. Plus consider this "buying soda next time" with 10 people at the same time in either direction. The question is not about $2.50 being a small amount. I like being exact about money and so do lot of my friends. May be I am from a different background where $2.50 is still money that should be cleared.

OpenSSL Security Advisories – LibreSSL Largely Unaffected
Presumably by gophers.
The IHV that I worked for had most of the hardware team local in California, and most of the software team remote. We had a great lab team that could install bits, move cables, etc. All machines had serial consoles & power controllers (or IPMI). One source of frustration was that most of the locals did not arrive until 10am Pacific, and I was on the Eastern time zone. So if I needed a cable moved, I had to wait until after lunch. Though I sometimes asked one of the secretaries to do it (she arrived at 6am Pacific).

By the time I had hardware access, we always had jtag or more advanced access methods working.

A big frustration was using tools like PCIe logic analyzers remotely. Luckily, these were mostly controlled by PCs, and we could access them via an IP KVM solution (but again, we had to wait for on-site labstaff to hook up physical connections).

"Probably"? "I'm sure"? How about not making bald-faced assertions based on wild-ass guesses that are spectacularly wrong?

Germany has been a country since 1949, It has had an army since 1955, which is currently considered the 7th or 8th most powerful in the world. And the USA has military bases all over the world; by that standard, the UK is not independant either.

Yes, I know of tons of applications that have a large code base and use Meteor.

Go look at places like ClassCraft, WorkPop, MixMax, FantasyHub, etc.

Plenty of teams are scaling both the code base and the app servers to handle thousands of concurrent connections.

What is stopping you from trying Meteor, really? Your questions are more focused on the culture of building an app, not about the framework itself.

Officer: "any reason you were going so fast?"

You: "I wasn't going fast. I was driving at a safe and prudent speed given the conditions."

ADD: It is good to know if the state you are in or states your frequently drive in is/are "Maximum Speed Limit" or "Presumed Maximum Speed Limit" state(s). I grew up in Minnesota which is a "Presumed Maximum Speed Limit" but now live in WI which is a "Maximum Speed Limit". The nice thing about Minnesota and "Presumed Maximum Speed Limit" is that if you are on a highway outside of a municipality (so in a township) then the posted speed limits are only presumed to be the maximum speed limit. Going faster is prima facie evidence of going to fast and allows officers to stop you. However, if you choose to fight the ticket in court, you can admit to going faster than the posted limit and argue that you were still driving a safe and prudent speed given the conditions. So, if you were in the country driving 65 on a straight and level road with a posted speed limit of 55 on a clear, dry day with 10+ miles of visibility and no other cars on the road, people or animals int he ditch or near the shoulder and a cop caught you on his laser device sitting 1/2 mile down the road, assuming you slowed down to 55 mph before getting close to him, you could argue these facts in court and argue that "the facts and outcomes speak for themselves"... no one was harmed or injured showing again that the speed of 65 mph in those conditions and circumstances was in fact still safe and prudent. In Wisconsin, if you admit to going over the posted speed limit anywhere, you're guilty of not driving a safe and prudent speed no matter what.
