This looks amazing! Hadley, Wes, what are your thoughts on how to implement compression? I recall some open source columnar datastores (e.g. infobright) that achieved very VERY fast compression rates with just a few tricks: https:/&#

On a slightly related question, what are you guys using instead of Truecrypt for virtual encripted disks? I use a bit of confidential data for research, and keep the identifiers on a TC container, but since it is no longer maintained I wond

I still do not know how is this actionable. So, they have satellites that take cool pictures, ok. Are they selling the stuff? Sharing an API?

In NC I can't buy it before noon.. so if I finish groceries at 11:50am I just have to hang around the store for a while until I can buy my wine/beer, because OMG those pesky kids might not go to church otherwise

I dunno why but I always had the idea you lived either on SFO or Seattle. Well at least you can ski a lot as you're probably close to WV! On a more related note, thanks a lot for your great posts, and for the simplicity and clarity of

I tried switching to 3 a few years ago and was burned by some libraries that didn't work or worked with bugs. Last year though I tried again and there were absolutely no problems. It's more natural, all non-dead libraries seem to

IMHO the best contractors are the best that try to actively make themselves redundant and no longer needed. Sure, you might get called again later down the line, but anythings else feels parasitic

I was thinking the same thing.. 5-7 years is an insane amount of time (and money) to spend just to get better general problem solving skills.

Issues often accumulate content-less “+1” comments which serve only to spam the maintainers and any others subscribed to the issue. These +1s serve a valuable function in letting maintainers know how widespread an issue is, but their

Maybe the overhauling meant they had no resources to respond? i.e. everyone was busy hiring?

Devils advocate: Suppose your stats are biased by a % of bad listings (fake, bad, etc.) that violate some rule. Would you want to include them in your numbers? If having the correct statistics (i.e. excluding these bad listings) was importa

Perhaps is a matter of principle? I would think that if you add those changes, problems would go away. But you could also make the argument that once you show everyone that complaining /boycotting/etc works against you, more peopl

No clue. That's what Levine is always asking. Perhaps it helps in that you can rely on the blockchain if the counter parties fall? (although that's a big if)

On the other hand, they have a lot of free time, and need to find ways to get social validation. I used to spend hours on ICQ or whatever, and there will always be something they use for that point. All in all, its something that is socia

As others mention, these are amazing news. The last months were void of communication from Jon and the forums were in a constant state of spam+complains, so hopefully this (and the recent updates) signals something is changing :)

The problem is that often you might not be entirely sure about what's going on. In her case, the kiss in the cheek might just be cultural confusion (in Spanish-speaking countries we do that even with strangers). Of course, after the la

Thats the diagnosis, which is correct. The interpretation is that the price are insecure, racist (or discriminate in other way), and so on.
