The background image in the e-mail collection form can be opened in a new tab. It's full-size, so you can see the ToC without buying to book or signing up.

I don't think Riak does. I believe its architecture is masterless.

The 55 mile range was calculated by Tesla's engineers, not Top Gear's. So, Tesla Motors should be pissed at its own engineers and no one else.

The overarching point is that there aren't recharging stations as ubiquitous as the fuel pumps and that it takes anywhere between 30 minutes and 12 hours to recharge the batteries.…

Actually, had you bothered to watch to the end of that episode, the point they made was about HOW a car is driven and now WHAT car you drive. They drove the Prius as fast as it wou…

How is flushing a write every 60 seconds orthogonal to consistency? If there's a server crash between the write to RAM and the subsequent flush, the data is lost, is it not? How do…

None of this is guaranteed by default. By default, writes are flushed every 60 seconds. By default, there's no journaling. How can one claim full consistency if the the former two …

Among major features touted are auto-sharding and replica sets. I don't know if the implication is that it's only for web apps/websites that won't need those

>Mongo is fully consistent Can you please explain this for a case where there are multiple replica sets, the database is sharded and nodes are across data centers? What's sacrifice…

Yep, that's the one

To be honest, Mongo's execs have done pretty much the same thing. As I said in another comment, the Changelog episode on Mongo was very illuminating with regards to the marketing t…

The 'safe' feature isn't on by default, yet. Also, the benchmarks 10gen publishes are based on default setup, so basically, Mongo writes to RAM, therefore it's fast. I love Mongo a…

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. If the market will bear it, you can charge for a service before "mass adoption"

This is certainly the reason I went to see it. However, not only was I underwhelmed by the regurgitation of the Pocahontas story, I was extremely underwhelmed by the 3D. The only e…

On an unrelated note, that whiteboard graph disturbed me a bit. Does every YC startup hope to get bought out? Why would that even be a goal or something to aspire to?

Better deal, maybe not. He could've and should've forced their hand by calling out those Republicans who were pulling for the rich and against the common man. The same must be said…

Compromising doesn't mean taking their version of the compromise. Compromising also means doing the math. In what world does 13 equal 24? That's what I blame the democrats for. The…

Well, 0 is slightly off. Ge extended the Bush tax cuts, so he quite literally cut taxes for 100% of America and not the talking point number of 95. Also, failing to raise the taxes…

It's because he specifically mentioned how net neutrality will be achieved. Sure, he appointed those FCC members, but he shouldn't stop there. Especially if you make it your mandat…

Well, that's like saying we should destroy the original tools cavemen made because they aren't of any use to us now. The point of Geocities in current day and age is to show us whe…

Totally agree that Google should snap it up. If any company needs it, it's Google and passing this opportunity by would be a mistake on their part. Not to mention that Delicious co…

Well, I think the speed was precipitated by the fact that Yahoo had already shut down a legendary property, Geocities. It's easier to believe that they'll do that again with anothe…

I pretty much stopped reading after this line: "Web development thought leader Jeff Atwood...". That and the press release-type of comment above it. And I agree with everyone else …
