It was my understanding that MongoDB had poor scalability.

by shin_lao 14y ago
Basically the guys from MongoDB are rebuilding databases as they existed in the 1980s with the motto "we will do better than relational databases!" or "Sybase, Oracle, prepare to die!". It's not clear which problem MongoDB is trying to solv

You have only one side of the story. Maybe the company doesn't have the rights on the code and cannot decide to open source it. Maybe they're making money with the code and open sourcing it is killing the business. Maybe they have a procedu

Well it always gives the same piece... Of course you can't finish a line. What does it prove?

Just to add some objectivity to the debate, in France, between 250 and 4999 employees a company is considered to be an "intermediate size company" (as long as the revenue is below 1.5 G€). I don't know the American standard, but I'd be surp

In a restaurant crowded with founders and investors I think it's easy to say "I said yes to the wrong sms"... Otherwise a malicious founder could overhear a conversation and send a sms at the right time to have a yes "proof"... My main poin

The protocol is flawed at step 4. The investor should reply "I confirm I'm in for <offer> for <startup>" otherwise the investor could say it said yes to the wrong text message/mail, and that's it's all a misunderstanding yad

Of course nuclear deterrent doesn't apply in all cases and Red will definitely try to neutralize as many targets as they can and if they can sink all ships they will (that's what Japan tried to do in Pearl Harbor after all). However, where

There are too many if's. If you're threatened by certain defeat, I think your immediate concern is saving your own skin or avoid being back-stabbed. But this is a thought experiment. You could come up with a scenario where it's untrue, but

Exactly. If red were a real country, it would fear nuclear retaliation. There's a limit to asymmetric warfare.

You're right. Scaring someone who has got less to lose than you and might be on drugs is a good option. Martial arts teach you confidence and self control, this is what will be useful. One of the first thing you learn when you're taught sel

You've obviously never been in a life threatening situation. It's very unlikely owning a weapon (gun, knife, spray, whatever) will be of any use. "Killers" or "Rapists" (whatever that means) take you by surprise and pulling a gun is not an

It might look like a stupid decision, but I think the true reason isn't as obvious as "people working at home don't work".

A government can never spend too much money A strange point of view. From mine, a government is generally a very bad spender and investor. Also, I prefer democracies were the power (money?) is in the hands of the citizens. By the they sp

You make a couple of great points, but you're obviously extremely misinformed about Iceland. Basically what happened in Iceland is due to an amount of stupidity that greatly exceeds the amount we're used to in the rest of Europe and the USA
