I'd make it freemium, like Slack or Trello. I'm hesitant to sign up for anything or pay for something without trying it.

People have always been pretty irrational about health. From the Greek beliefs of bloodletting/leechs to Edyptian amulets to homeopathy, we've associated taking X + some time => healthy. But that's the thing - our health c

You mean x amount of Fields medals. There is no Nobel for math. Also, this is a lot harder than you think. "Extrapolating" from a learning set is relatively easy to do for statistical problems and prediction, but proofs are hard.

Yeah, something like x: dict<str, str> = {} would be nicer, I think.

My problem with inner functions is that you can't create a unit test for them. They're inaccessible. I would propose making your inner function into a classmethod and moving away from the state of the class. This structure is well

Interesting. I had to look up what the Fermi paradox is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox But this doesn't solve why the Earth wasn't already visited/colonized, correct?

Sure - just like mercury, it accumulates up the chain. Just to be clear, I'm certainly not arguing that DDT is an end-all for all our pest problems. Again, I'm not a scientist. I'm just saying it has an interesting history! N

We all but wiped out bedbugs in the 40's and 50's using DDT. I find the short history of DDT fascinating - in two decades, we eliminated Typhus in Europe, went from 2.5 million cases of malaria in Ceylon, Sri Lanka in 1948 to 17 i

The book is about making products that didn't exist before, so I think the authors are referring to hipsters as 'people who knew about something before it became cool'. You can be a maker and make things that are already main

Yeah, his analogy extends to art pretty well. Let's say we use Tolstoy's definition of art, that art is about communicating a feeling to others via a medium. There are times in our lives where our state of mind makes us more likel

Is using the <title> of the page in the result stealing? What about making a summary of the page when there's no <meta name="description"> tag? Gray area I guess. Instant answers definitely reduce clicks.

Vertica is great, but expensive. I think it's free until 1 TB or something? Postgres + cstore_fdw looks promising.

I come from a PSQL background where materialized views are manually refreshed :) After skimming Oracle's docs, I'd settle for something as simple as: CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW my_mview REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT THROTTLE 10s AS ( ... )

Well, so long as I'm spitballing my dreamDB's "continuous views", then why not have a concept of "foreign documents"? Let's define "foreign documents" as a type of field that is an exact copy of
