Andes are dry and cold and will preserve things. People hike the Andes. People can see things from above in the Andes. The ocean is deep. Sediment drifting down from above layers the debris. Ocean currents disperse the light aluminum fragme

You don't need to understand something to destroy it. You don't need to master something to wreak it. Sadly, our ignorance is doing both.

It is so stupid that we have this concept that managers should maximize shareholder value as if they are the only stakeholders in a company. Really and truly what did the current shareholders do for YHOO on a daily ongoing basis? The curren

You are attacking the wrong people. Prop 13 applies to business real estate as well. This is the true problem. Before Prop 13 business was paying 2/3 of the property taxes now business is paying less than 1/3. The problem isn&#x27

I hope the Uber drivers do unionize. The concept of uber: use your own car to make extra cash is an interesting one. The business execution deserves to be buried.

No. PTC is more than GPS. Much more than that: 1) which track is the train on? GPS off by a few meters 1 way or the other means a different track. 2) What are the switch settings ahead? 3) Is there a train stopped ahead? 4) Is there any obs

The buck stops with the captain. Fairness has nothing to do with it. It is the captain's job to train his crew and keep his ship safe -- no matter what.

It doesn't matter. It is the captain's job to not sink his ship. It is the captain's job to not damage the pier, the reefs, etc. The same rules apply when flying a plane. It is the pilot's responsibility to not be in a c

O.k. Let me be more explicit. Automobile companies have a different self-interest than you think they should. (As demonstrated by VW's action) VW has over 450,000 people - all viewing the world differently ( as demonstrated by VW'

Why would you care? Most devs have no business with admin access to production servers. Note: this is different than being able to deploy new code, I am talking about messing with a box in a data center

In addition to all the other great advise here, look at things like source code, contracts, customer lists, etc. All the trade secret, confidential information. If you have an auditor (CPA firms do this as part of a due diligence) that can

The problem with Meteor is not the front-end. The problem is that data exists (for the most part) in Relational DBs. This prevents Meteor from being used in any environment that needs to/wants to use a SQL db. This prevents Meteor fr

I used meteor for 2 years professionally. The issue that you raise is less important with meteor because updating the server code updates the client code.

by pm24601 11y ago
Good to hear. Most data resides in RDBs. If Meteor can't access that data.... Meteor limits itself.

Its not even true either because there is the iron-router package. Yes it is not "core" meteor but it is a very popular package.

We used meteor at my last company. By far and away the biggest issue was being stuck with Mongo. NoSQL databases have their place. But they are not a universal solution to everything (or even most things). Relational DBs exist for a reason.
