This is fatal. I have a small pilot project on Google Cloud. Considering putting up a much larger system. Not now. The costs of Google may be comparable or lower than other services, but they don't seem to get that risk is a cost. Risk

Good catch. I just read the opinion in Bennis. The core of it is that the state may take property if the use of the property constitutes a public nuisance. If a ship is used for piracy or drug running, for example, then it can be taken. In

What bothers me about the article is that they say that the basis of the claim is the 8th Amendment ("excessive fines"). I hope that is not the only argument the lawyers made. The problem with relying on the 8th alone is that the

I do not agree with this argument, but it goes like this: If a wealthy drug dealer has cars, boats, houses and whatnot that are used in the course of committing crimes, the government should be able to seize them to stop them from continuin

Ok, so how does it work? Which stemming algorithm? It's not helpful unless we know what it's doing under the covers.

Yup, this works. I wonder if this is the first commercial application of this insight? http://hh360.user.srcf.net/blog/2016/08/majority-agreement-i... Can you tell us what consensus algorithm you're usin

This is a good explanation of how it happens on a single node. What do you do when the transaction is distributed? How do you achieve consensus? Is there a write up on it anywhere?

Disagree. First, I won't say your product is a commodity, but there are many, many, many layout and design tools out there. I'm not going to pay $25 to evaluate each one. It's as much about the sign-up-and-hand-over-the-credi

Name-calling point taken. Were I able to edit the post now, I would delete the last line. I don't think it breaks the "strongest possible interpretation" rule, though. The specific quote I'm responding to isn't ambi

It's a fine essay, right up to this point: "The ostensibly moral face-off between good and evil is a recent invention that evolved in concert with modern nationalism – and, ultimately, it gives voice to a political vision not an e

Does the most recent version on the 7-Zip website, 18.00 beta, contain the patch? It's two weeks old. 7-Zip doesn't appear to contain an auto-updater or an "update me" button.

I dumped Thunderbird some years ago because I had accumulated 10 gb of email and it had slowed to a crawl. That, and the search wasn't very good. My gmail interface has neither of those problems. I would consider going back to Thunderb

I wonder why lakes aren't salty? It's clear why rivers and lakes that eventually empty into the ocean are fresh. Rainwater washes the salt downstream to its ultimate destination. But many lakes do not have an outlet that leads to

It's funny -- I spent many, many years looking at interfaces like that, designing them, developing them. I thought I'd feel some nostalgia. But no, I'm glad those days are long gone. I never want to see any of my old dBASE, C

Perhaps we should step away from the terms "linearizability" and "serializability" and speak of global total ordering. That's what some other systems provide and this one doesn't. It's a valuable feature b

It looks like the core of the idea is "object stealing". In most consensus algorithms you'll have a single leader, worldwide, that is in charge of sequencing all objects. Either that, or you partition objects across leaders a

I really like this. Gets rid of a ton of backend boilerplate. I really like the fact that I can do straight SQL when necessary. I haven't read the docs in detail, so maybe you have answers for this, but I would really like to see a cou

I'm halfway through The Three Body Problem, a science fiction novel by Chinese author Cixin Liu. The apparent irrationality of three-body orbits is central to the story. So far, it's excellent, both as science fiction and as socia

A couple questions: 1. Do the log records pass through the sequencer nodes on the way to their destination, or does the writer issue a request for the sequence number and wait for a response? 2. If you're maintaining the current epoch

Instead of feeding our baby peanut butter, I smeared a small amount on his arm first. The skin got red and bubbled up. We took him in, got him tested, and found that he had the allergy. Thank God I didn't feed it to him.

No, I think this is more designed for the case where you're creating a database implementation yourself. This provides a protocol and a JDBC driver so you don't have to build them from scratch, just as Calcite provides a SQL parse

You can get something notarized, at least in Illinois, for $1. Just go to a currency exchange. Most banks will do it for free.

Maybe, maybe not. It's just unclear. My wife ate a ton of peanut butter during her pregnancy. One would think it would have protected our son, but it didn't. He's now eight and the peanut allergy is getting worse.

I would very much like to see a blog post or some other explanation of how a GPU speeds up a database query. Most traditional SQL databases are I/O-bound, meaning that the cost of pulling index pages from disk into memory overwhelms ev
