The downside of air conditioned homes is that houses are now built with very little regard to insulation and intelligent use of the sun (to warm the house at winter) and the wind (to cool it during summertime). My house has a large, paper-t

Go to https://giphy.com/ and take a look. Does this random collection of animated images give the impression of a service worth 600 million dollars? It's just fluff, it doesn't solve any real-world problem, how on

As far as I can see, the design shares some similarities with ClickHouse. LittleTable sounds less performant than ClickHouse: LittleTable - "returns 500,000 rows/second" ClickHouse - "processes hundreds of millions to mo

This list just screams "corruption". How can it be legal for companies such as Facebook, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Cisco, Apple, etc. etc. to donate directly to a politician? Isn't it obvious that these corporations thin

There's also a need for a solution to give somebody your email address over the phone. Often when talking to representatives, they want to send you something by email (e.g. a receipt). But when I spell my email address over the phone,

Even if it is possible to generate so much data, where would you store it? You would need to install 333 units of VNX5800 per day (each one stores 3PB): https://store.emc.com/en-us/Solve-For/STORAGE-PRODUCTS/V

Here's an idea: build a website that collects reliability statistics about home appliances by maker and model. Let users report when exactly they bought a specific appliance, and how long it lasted without repairs (or following repairs

I've heard about an Israeli guy who started a mushroom-growing business in Russia. Something similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcrCtVGEsZE At some point when it was starting to become successful, a gang

Never thought of using EXPLAIN to get an estimated count... nice trick!

I find it surprising that only in the past few years someone started to use statistical analysis (Markov, bigrams, trigrams) on this script. These are techniques that have been in use by cryptanalists for decades. Sounds like something very

I don't like typewriters, but who knew they were so interesting? Some of them are really exotic.

Computers are not apriori better - you can always develop a stupid or buggy algorithm that fails often. But Tesla is working to PROVE (using real-world data) that autopilot is better than a human driver, and IMPROVE it constantly until it i

That's true as long as you ignore the fact that your server's IP address might change when you restart it. Once you understand that, you realize that you have to rethink how you're using AWS, and that it's quite differen

"I can handle basic Linux devops. But AWS is not Linux devops. AWS has become its own specialty. With over 70 services offered, only a full-time AWS specialist can properly understand how to build something in AWS."

The main problem if I understand correctly is with pensions. They have 10 more years to invest your money, but they also have to pay you for 10 more years... so the longer you live, the less they profit. Live long enough, and they will lose
