Not a bad idea. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there were regulations against this.

Seems like a happy medium would be that I get to choose where 10 or 5 percent of my taxes go. The politicians can expect a certain cut, with the rest we're empowered to fund what we believe in. I also don't realistically believe this will e

I ask this question out of ignorance. An angel investment in a startup would seem to me like a very illiquid asset. Do they just go down to a cocktail party and sell away their "angel shares" or is there some sort of structured market for t

Has anyone been using PostGIS with the RCs? Is it stable and ready for production?

I've heard this left-brain right-brain stuff before and I'd like to know where it comes from. Do you have any sources you can link to?

So I should learn all of these before I apply right?

You should. It's a real time investment but it pays off I assure you.

It's not really, all things need to be profiled in high load situations. I'm moreso looking for an overview of the tooling to see if I'm just unaware of a vital tool. Thanks for the strace info, I'll check it out.

Thank you for the numbers about hypertable. In my exploration I've been leaning towards hypertable but I haven't done any benchmarking of my own yet. My read patters will probably have locality but I have not yet figured out how to model th

I've answered the size question in a few other posts, but I'm thinking billions of records, half a terabyte or more of denormalized data. Stored in whatever ec2 instances I need to accomplish the job. If the required computing power is more

Billions of records. I haven't yet determined which way to slice the dataset to be most efficient. A fair amount of it is denormalized and my assumption is that the initial dataset will be on the order of half a terabyte or more. Right now
