Not sure, but I am personally rooting for Lawrenceville Plasma Physics because if it works, it is the best one in terms of economics, has no radioactive by-products, and is small enough to fit into ships, trains, large planes, and spacecraf

I think it is worth the money, if you can afford it, to just do it right from the beginning (Delaware C Corp). Significantly reduces stress. If you need to raise money, you can do it and there wont be any issue with your incorporation docum

You do have a minimum state tax regardless of revenue or profit, but corporate income tax is only on profit. Therefore double taxation does not matter until you are profitable. In addition, you can "carryover" losses from previous

#1 has gotten significantly better since 9.0. There are still issues, but it continues to get better. For #2, there are plenty of managed PG services (AWS RDS, Heroku, etc) if you have trouble with the sysadmin. For #4, Postgres has materia

Oh I see. Specifically for RDBMS and graphics: video game engines. Game engines are a bit weird because sometimes you need hierarchical data structures, stream processing, multi-core processing (e.g. physics), etc. I worked on a game engine

It is published and you can find it somewhere in Purdue's library. It is not online though. It is a regret of mine that we didn't publish at a conference or journal, but at the time I was too concerned with getting out of there. I

There are a lot details I am leaving out because I don't have time or patience to explain them in a HN comment. That 3 months turned into an entire chapter (~15 pages) of my thesis. But I will tell you a little bit about it. The data w

Accessing is easy. Making it fast enough off disk to feed the beast (GPU) is not. The DB has already solved that problem and given a really simple interface: SQL. My hand tuned code was probably faster but not enough to warrant 3 months of

I used to think the same thing as much of my early career was spent in graphics. Then I got much more familiar with relational databases and realized I was an idiot. For example I spent about 3 months hand tuning code that read a quad from

Overall it seems to self-correct which sometimes takes decades. While flawed, it is pretty good.

I think you might be conflating owner and CEO. Owners often don't have to work every day after the business is running smoothly and they have hired good people to manage it. CEOs have to work every day just like all other employees and

This is pretty cool. Overall I like the product and it is easy to use. I have some feedback too. For the runway calculation, it would be great if I could add an estimate for upcoming expenses to see how that changes the calculation. For exa

I am genuinely curious if you are unable to open any link or is the restriction specific to Dropbox? And what is the reason for this restriction?

As always with things like YC, it isn't black and white. Sometimes the rejection is not because they didn't like you or think the idea isn't important, but rather someone else was better in their opinion. And as the title of

How much data are we talking about? If it is small and static, then it can probably just be stored in git. If it is dynamic and/or large, the typical solution is to have a separate table with diffs and timestamps. You could even add th

My assumption would be server-level management similar to RDS and Heroku. Since they run on DigitalOcean, I don't think they have much control over the hardware. Managed at the database/schema/table/etc level does not se

Interesting idea. I think my father might be interested. Every time he flies on a plane (not often), he lets me know where various financial information is and the passwords to get at it. The pricing seems really strange to me. Wouldn'

The author seems to be mostly talking about misinterpreting results which is definitely a problem. I don't specifically see how "point and click" tools makes this problem worse (or better).

There are many (too many if you ask me) sets of medical codes, ICD being one of them. ICD-9 is widely used in US because Medicare uses it for billing purposes, but it is not considered very good for medical practice and ICD-10 isn't m

I can understand banning paintball. Paintballs can cause bruising, blindness, and stain clothes and walls. I don't think paintball is a fair comparison here.

It isn't that hard to use in my opinion, but it is only a library. So you need to implement many things to turn it into a server which Solr and Elasticsearch have already done.

How many use cases really exceed a single, multi-terabyte machine? Your argument is true for any data type and format not just JSON. If you have more than a few terabytes then you have "big data" and most solutions, including Mong

There has been plenty of innovation. When mature, electric vehicles mean the cost of fuel is essentially zero. Whenever there has a been a massive drop in energy costs, there has also been an economic boom. Electric vehicles also mean no mo
