Big monitors, small offices. Give me a room where I can close the door. I'll share it with one other person, but it can't be a tight fit. If you expect me to work while you're interrupting me every 5 minutes, then you don't really expec

There's no evidence he qualifies under that clause. He didn't renounce to avoid taxation, quite the opposite: He was paid up on his taxes and paid an "exit tax" according to the quote in an article I read last night. The USA requires you to

Either he sold his Facebook stock before leaving, in which case he already paid taxes on it. Or he didn't, and since FB is an american company listed on an american exchange, when he sells any of it he'll still be subjected to long term ca

You seem to be arguing that he didn't "pay some back when you win". However, as part of the renunciation process you have to be up to date on your taxes, and you have to pay a tax on any money you move out of the USA. Thus he's already

Sure, lets keep foreign born past citizens who helped create $100B companies from coming back to the USA. That will show them! I really don't think we could survive another attack on the order of Facebook!

Suppose I went out and sought out people who I think might have a beef with the american government, proposed a terrorist plot to them, and supplied them with the tools to do it (and the FBI has supplied real explosives in the past to these

Radical notion: Some people should learn to code. Some shouldn't. Not everyone should be a programmer. Some people need to program even though they are bad programmers (e.g.: a business guy stringing together off the shelf services with

And it turns out you are misrepresenting the situation completely. You can run M/R over key sets in the billions of keys. It sounds like you've not organized your data at all. You're bashing a product here based on your lack of knowledge,

I chose the most polite way to point out his error, and now you are compounding it by attempting to rebut me with quotes that don't actually rebut me if you know what you're doing. Listing all keys is a function meant for debugging, not f

That thread shows that all of the particulars of your claims about Riak are actually false. Further it seems you didn't bother to understand how Riak can solve your problem and thus decided that it cannot.

Your DB should be cognizant of JSON. For instance, JSON records can be converted into key-value combinations that are then indexed.

Yes, it does range queries based on key, if the key follows a defined format. It also has secondary indexes.

Every database is different, but that doesn't mean there are a lot of really unique features. The unique feature of CouchDB is the way it does views, but that doesn't mean you can't' do views (in fact, in my opinion, better) in other datab

I think your statement is both out of date and quite broad. Plus you imply that a database would be limited to 500k keys which is silly, when you really mean a map-reduce job. And further, are you really doing MR over your entire dataset,

They're doing what works for them and good for them for that. But...I think a LOT of people are really missing out by passing over Riak. Many of the issues they found with CouchDB have been resolved with Riak. I think the sync API for Couc

I really shouldn't be building this myself. But looking at these prices for mixpanel and kissmetrics, they seem out of whack-- great for profitable businesses and enterprise, but way out of line for startups. Plus what if you need betwe

Yeah, I meant to be exaggerating for effect but it didn't come across that way at all, so I updated the post.

I'm glad it has that feature, but you have to write it yourself. I wasn't saying it was impossible to do in C. Erlang has it built in, along with frameworks in OTP to make it easy to do.

I guess you're not aware of it, but my acquaintance is not the only one. Many doctors across the USA have been attacked this way. Here's an article going back to 2003: http://www.opioids.com/offshorepharmacy/deapaindoc.html Here's one o

Many americans don't seem to understand this because they've grown up in the US media bubble and were educated in US schools which don't tend to really accurately portray the rest of the world. Going out and living in other countries you fi

I don't think you're correct. The executive administrates laws, the congress creates them, and the enumerated powers determine which laws they can create. Would you mind providing a quote for what you're talking about, so I can see it in co
