   To take a bit of a contrarian perspective here, pornography has been linked to human trafficking, at least in Nevada. So if we want to distance ourselves from the religious moral and ethical arguments that oppose the "we're not ac

   Thanks. Reading through the user's posts, they seem to know the topic but I just wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly.

   By "same juice" are you referring to the same (MGPI) stock? It's a bit unclear on the first read of your comment, but I've found High West to be a nice Rye so I'd certainly agree with the suggestion.

   I think that what you're trying to say is that `a large percentage of HNers are Americans and thus care more about copyright being used against them in order to extort them, usually for money.` Most "Americans" care about a w

   it sounds like your issues had nothing to do with MS SQL Server and more to do with system administration nightmares and with php.

   Hm. I love postgres and find many of its features to be intriguing and exciting. I work with MS SQL Server professionally and find many of the things it does to be excellent as well. The unfortunate thing about this piece is that much of it

    yeah. sql server's `MERGE` is hacky. http://sqlperformance.com/2013/02/t-sql-queries/another-merg...

    the most successful case studies have a history of forethought such that the infrastructure is largely in place before the decision is made.

    I don't find it to be unnecessarily rude. It was a legitimate critique of the poster's own assumptions. I guess that because I'm not an HN "insider" I'm not allowed to challenge someone's assumptions. Only

    in my experience (which isn't the sum-total of all human experience), our OLAP queries have a bottleneck at the fiber interconnect between the storage controller and the OS. cpu still isn't the problem for our OLAP systems. your p

    that's a narrow assumption. why not get more information from the person instead of simply attacking a straw man.

    what's (not) shocking is the double-speak. "i believe that nobody is above the law" when that's not been the case for quite a while. additionally, use that as a case against apple and google touting encryption is an insu

    This is an interesting idea. There'd need to be a delay between when the photo is taken and when the device OS begins to commit to "the cloud" to allow the user enough time to lock it down before it begins transmission.

    Interesting. My experience is the opposite. Devs love MySQL's standards-shattering capabilities, while they feel constrained by the way in which PostgreSQL adheres to standards much more strictly. The DBAs I know love pg and loathe MyS

    You're probably correct, but when MySQL coined that as their slogan, I think that they were those things.

    parallelism is a big omission from pg for me. for all of the language features (and they're awesome), the thing that is the most glaring omission is parallelism. i understand it's been and on-again off-again project that seems dif

    I'm not sure why this is a problem. In its purest sense, an ID is simply an ID - a means of identifying a "record" of something. If the customer is relying on the ID for information other than its intended purpose, then they&
