It’s proven itself for scaling. Mostly startups don’t see the issues with SQL and don’t need to worry about it. At planet/top-Alexa-ranked-website scale though, you either use Spanner at Google, or use Cassandra at Apple, DynamoDB at A

IMHO, at scale SQL will breakdown. Even with sharding like Slack is able to per organization. It's why we have great things like Cassandra and DynamoDB. They're designed to solve replication in an easier way than replicating RDBMS

Those are great questions. I think it comes down to negligence and whether the employer makes a good faith attempt training and monitoring throughout the process. Sometimes that's difficult in new fields and then it seems like the burd

I agree. This is where torts get fun in first-year law school. If Uber's training wasn't perfectly clear about the importance of the job of monitoring outside the vehicle, then part of the liability shifts to them. Consider two tr

I find the Things.app very convenient (and worth the one time cost for macOS and iOS since I use it 10-100 times per day). The key part of using inbox-oriented task apps is to have a process to review the inbox and fold it into some shallow
