    From the earlier cited paper, this seems to target relatively simple proofs too (i.e., hardly what "expert mathematicians can prove"): "... a broad coverage of basic mathematical t…

    As another comparison point, my volt does about 3.5 miles per kWh at 60-65mph on a highway and close to double that at 20-30mph in cities. And it’s not that light.

    Datomic doesn't have cryptographically-guaranteed immutability -- its logical data model is immutable and so you can query the past versions of data etc., but there isn't anything …

    OrientDB is a good open-source database that exposes a primarily object data model (the document and graph abstractions are built on top of it). Lack of a good query language and s…

    Regarding 2: note that this is not the Cambridge Analytica data, rather similar data collected by researchers at Cambridge.

    Regarding (1), they could just lease the cars from the car manufacturers. As I recall, that was one of the reasons why GE invested so heavily in Lyft.

    I don't know about Neptune -- curious to hear what it is based on -- but TitanDB never really supported cross-machine traversals for the execution engine. The data was stored in a …

    I don't think this is that straightforward. One of the comments on the article said it nicely: graduate students are still being trained and are not very effective researchers, and…

    There is lot of somewhat-researchy work on this topic, the primary one being the effort at Microsoft Research, called AutoAdmin, that started about 20 years ago. They looked at aut…

    Yes, I was just reading through that. The server is still single-threaded though -- they are getting the parallelism by starting multiple processes to do independent chunks of work…

    Aside from tooling, those systems often perform much better than PostgreSQL for large queries or transactions, as they feature much better optimizations. Even outside of newer opti…

    Actually the queens problem starting with an empty board is not NP-Hard. See: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/12682/is-the-n-... The "completion" problem is the NP-Har…

    The million-dollar prize just appears to be the Clay Institute's prize for solving P vs NP. I am guessing that the queens problem (a special case of maximum independent set in a gr…

    The parallelization problem doesn't really go away though, since you still need to figure out how to do that to exploit all the cores effectively.

    This appears to be a paper written for satisfying a CS Master's degree requirement. If you are looking for a survey on this topic, this is probably a better starting point: https:/…

    This is in line with the tenure cases that I have seen (across US) -- the department votes tend to be in early Fall, and the case makes its way through the rest of the univ over th…

    It's not very efficient if you have a large number of triggers. There was an early research prototype called Triggerman ( http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/754942/ ) which attemp…

    There is quite a bit of work on this topic in Databases, and stream processing is one of the primary use cases they identified (in particular, if you can put the FPGA device betwee…

    There are several startups in that space, e.g., Domino Data Labs, that have been trying to make it easy to do collaborative/versioned notebooks. I have only seen the product videos…

    Thanks for that link. However, they appear to conclude Flink and Storm are quite similar in performance. If you really need low latencies, it is quite likely that none of these wil…

    That paper is excellent and serves as a great intro for a graduate database course. It would be remiss not to list the main author though (Joe Hellerstein, Berkeley).
