Yeah it seems very similar to LFS, including the verbiage on the pages. Wondering if the same people are behind this. I first used LFS to build my own distro back in college and that experience made me learn a lot about the components of th

MongoDBs market is not exactly the same as the Hadoop vendors' although there are overlaps. One of the biggest driver of adoption for mongo are projects that start out as small, rapidly done prototypes and then grow large. It's re

But isn't the data stored on LinkedIn's servers technically owned by LinkedIn? I support this decision in the interest of innovation but hiQ is using data that is physically on LinkedIn's systems and which has been legally ac

I feel that the term "Holocaust" is being used here to sensationalize something that used to be a relatively common occurrence back in those days (infact also used to happen in medieval and post medieval - e.g. Trail of tears - ti

I agree. The term holocaust is more contemporary. Back in roman times enslavement and extermination seems to have been relatively common.

Optimization is generally used as a broader term than what code level optimization means. Although code optimization does help systems vertically scale. I've seen quite a few projects fail because the engineers didn't think throug

But since video chat is quite commoditized building a scalable system from ground up would have helped them counter facebook by quickly building features on top of what they had. The article itself mentions that they had to stop what they w

Your new products seem to be SaaS applications. How do you guys plan to support the operations on a day to day basis? Will there be rotating rosters for who needs to provide devops support for a given week/month? Because I presume that

It can be obtained by "legal" residents, although I don't think legal residents can get passports on the basis of their aadhar number. Aadhar fundamentally solves the problem of illegal residents and nefarious foreign agents

I think lifestyle businesses (like Mobile Jazz) should be more service focused (although they seem to have a few products). That way you get work, do it and get paid. No hassle of reaching the top and maintaining the lead.

This is actually one of the long term plans. Like another comment said it's very difficult to identify who's a citizen and who's not, so people are likely to give up some privacy for getting other benefits. In fact most peopl

Its niche because the idea can be easily replicated by the incumbents in the industry. And it will be hard to scale at a global scale because the perception about ex-cons varies a lot in different countries. As such the profits wont be able

Awesome idea! And a noble cause. But one word of advice - since this is a niche market you guys should focus on natural growth and profitability instead of getting too much VC money to fuel explosive growth.

Exactly! this is terrifying. The law should be exercised by neutral parties, not the plaintiff. This is the equivalent of you being able to imprison a person in your house because they stole something from you.

Love the idea.. although we can call SMTP directly, having the SMTP APIs encapsulated with a HTTP interface is pretty neat. Plus its a readymade microservice that you just spin up and use. I worked for 2 years on a monolith that used to cal

I dont think human trafficking is as easy as drug trafficking and gun running is a much smaller market than drugs. Legalization will be a severe impediment to the activities of the cartels.

Hyperloop is supposed to use vacuum or close-to-vacuum tunnels to achieve those speeds, so fire is not really a problem. Still I think the tunnels should be accessible section by section to enable disaster recovery crews to operate.

I'd imagine that they have separate, encrypted siloed search indexes for each paying organization. Why would someone put sensitive information on Slack otherwise?

Is all data on slack just available for viewing? If it were so I think its customers would have raised this as an issue by now.

Its to maintain context. If a developer is looking at a large test code then it becomes difficult to switch back and forth between 10s of JSON files and the main test code. Having the input, output and the test data in the same file is much

That's true but social networks are more ubiquitous than emails and print media. Also, in an email chain the person has prior knowledge that the news is fake. The same is not true of social media feeds.
