   This redirection is not happening at application layer, perhaps due to scale?

   My question is, how much of the speed-up is due to RDB being append-only and how much of it is due to specialization to SSD.

   I wonder how the IT/security staff react to such information? In the sense, what do you do? how to be "ready" for this?

   I read the article, looked around their site, and bought the app. All in 5-10 minutes.

   Yes, that's exactly the problem. - There is no upload bandwidth and we still acuiqre most of our backupable data offline (via cameras, HDs, etc.) - I am sure Chrome OS will make online acquired data backupable in a push button way. Given th

   I like the cancellation policy idea. Give the best options for both you and your customers. Just make it a push button cancellation.

   How competitive is your market? Would your product rank in the,say, top 3? If we know the answers then, I believe, we can have a better discussion.

   Amazon is the next gen's ConEdison/PSEG is something to note as well. Would have been interesting to look at how the strategy of being #1 in book sales and introducing Kindle at the right time to handle the transition to e-books came about.

    Saving time, surely a good result. Pre-clearing passengers, not so much of a good idea to achieve that result.

    I am sorry but the idea was a stupid one to begin with. After 4 years in operation in what seems to be one the markets where customers had real pain and willing to pay for painless travel (and a monopoly?) they still needed credit to operat

    Our product relies on novel algorithms. That's our "secret sauce," if you will. We publish the algorithms we develop on peer reviewed conferences and journals. There have been improvements made to our work by others and we encourage that. W

    A black box captures human perspective of extreme conditions. Telemetry, flight control, and maintenance data is more than enough to figure out what happened to an aircraft. But, they don't tell why it happened? Data in a black box answers

    One simple albeit temporary fix: Make H1Bs independent of sponsoring employer. Give those people freedom to float around like the rest of us and see how things turn out. My guess is employers will have to start treating H1Bs as they treat

    I am a bit confused by the table. "bdb_btree 14.3/s " means 14.3 records per second? Is that the correct interpretation?

    Have a feeling P=NP will implode the allure surrounding algorithms, optimization, and computer science in general. :)

    Forget the database. Figure out: - What data you have? (I think you know this). - How it will be accessed? Then, figure out what's the best way to store the data so that access (includes, read/writes) is efficient. Essentially, at this poin

    I don't know whether it is a reading issue. It might be a write issue, however. Flash can only allow so many write-cycles, and thrashing is a good way to guarantee flash running out of write-cycles.

    BBC BASIC on Acron -> DOS -> Windows -> BSD, VAX/VMS -> Windows 95 -> Linux/Windows 2K -> OS X (2006). I have used them at various points in my life where the priorities are different. Of the experiences I have had,

    I did a similar estimate using bunch of download sites and Google Keyword Tool/Trends. The hardest part, from my experience, is not the estimation of market size (people who need a product) but how many of them will actually turn into payin
