   Jamie Dimon was going to get involved because the buyer of the shares was Highbridge Capital, a hedge fund owned by JPM.

   If you resist going public for over a decade despite doing billions in revenue you are going to have investors who are upset about their inability to cash out.

   Does developing MySQL and Java somehow not contribute to the common good?

   This will also notify if you intentionally shut down the service. If you want to only see failures, you can use an OnFailure directive.

   Agreed. However, the kind of mass surveillance people are worried about isn't really concerned with personal data at rest. That data already requires targeted surveillance to get at. Additionally... unless you generated all the bytes y

   Symmetric encryption not being broken doesn't really help you if the encryption key has been exchanged using a (presumably quantum-breakable) form of asymmetric encryption. Most encryption in the wild works this way.

   Wow! This sounds like a very interesting role. Congratulations on being accomplished in both law and technology.

   I used to work for a database company and have been involved in the purchasing side of database support contracts. Professional Services/Consulting is a small revenue line (and TCO component) relative to support licensing. It also has

    Enterprise companies also care about OPEX.. i.e. if they have an internal SLA that can be met with a 100 node C* cluster or with 10 Scylla nodes, that will matter quite a bit.

    The founding team is Israeli I believe, and their team is distributed across the world, so this may not have been written by a native English speaker.

    If I was Datastax I would be scared of Scylla. They have momentum and they are one of the best engineering teams around outside of top teams at Google/FB etc.

    I think this bug is kind of an indictment of Ragel. It has some great ideas, but since the generated code is so low level - and allows arbitrary blocks of code to be executed in the guts of the parser, bugs like these can result in this hor

    Yes... its very relevant... If MySQL had acquired InnoDB instead of Oracle there is a good chance they would still exist as an independent entity. That's what I meant by MongoDB's acquisition of WT putting them in control of their

    I replied to a sibling with more details. Indexing by code point is only the smallest (and easiest to solve) part of the problem of dealing with non ASCII text.

    I have some actual experience with KDB and MongoDB so I'm going to have to call bullshit. How does KDB handle replication and failover? Or even high insert/update rates to datasets that exceed the size of memory? How do you shard

    You're comparing ISAM/MySAM (storage engine) to the MongoDB replication protocol. As a more relevant parallel MongoDB also replaced its original storage engine with one acquired from WiredTiger (BerkeleyDB founders). One big diffe

    Fair enough. If you're not in the nanos what is the point of even bothering with FPGAs and all the pain involved? CPUs can handle single digit micros just fine.

    You speak of "correlation" and "looking at the numbers" but provide no data. What exactly is your point?

    That's not really an issue. The government is perfectly free to use Google Apps for clearnet email. Do you mean to suggest that Gmail is more secure than government classified networks?
