I don't agree. There is plenty of middle ground, and I think most people tend to fall around the center of the spectrum. I for one don't support SOPA, yet support the notion of copyright.

As an alum of Dreamit Philly, I can tell you that there is a lot of missing data there at least. On the order of many millions in funding missing for that program alone. There is also at least one missing exit.

Yeah I was struck by that too, although I didn't pick up on anything that seemed overtly satirical. None of the arguments he made directly supported the conclusions he jumped to. I agree that there are serious ethical concerns pertaining to

I have to admit that I am not as familiar with this feature, so I will check it out. I glossed over it as something I could already accomplish with a check constraint or a trigger, but I think you might be right that there's more to it than

Sure. It's not the default already because the functionality did not exist at all in previous versions. Say you have a table with a bunch of columns: (column1...column15) and you have an index on (column3, column4) and you run a query like:

I think the bigger deal (at least for most existing deployments) are the index-only scans. This is one of the only features of Oracle that I missed after switching to Postgres.

Agreed. If it costs money to learn how to use a new PaaS, adoption will most likely suffer.

I posted a link to the relevant part of it ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3665429 ) on another thread regarding this exploit already, but the official Rails Security Guide covers this and other common security pitfalls really well. I
