Is there an underlying stream processor (e.g. Flink)? How many messages per second can it process?

Sanders plan will adversely impact the bay area, and home prices in particular. If you're making over $250k, the social security phase out goes away, you have 2.2% of extra income …

Where do you think the people that would live in new luxury condos go if there are no new luxury condos? Any chance they may buy up existing rental properties and evict long-time r…

There's a big difference between not liking something, and it not functioning.

Did the people that charged $200 million to build healthcare.gov get to keep the money after the project failed? What about the people that allocated that money, do they still have…

If the people that can afford $3,000/month for rent don't have a place to spend it, they'll just bid up the price of the other housing. Nobody is going to build hovels out of the g…

San Franciscans have no one to blame other than San Franciscans for the housing policies that are pricing people out of the market. Well meaning but ultimately deeply misguided lib…

I think that anything more aggressive that the right-of-first-refusal at the third-party offer price is unconscionable.

Goldman Sachs 2011 net income was $162,913 per employee. Average pay was $367,057. It's harder to get data on Google, but it looks like the mid-career median salary is $141,000. Go…

A Leatherman Multitool I recommend the New Wave, though I also have a Charge TTi. I find myself using them all the time, and they last a really long time. I still have, and use reg…

The US gives about 1.85% of GDP, the highest in the world. Second is Israel at 1.34%. The US also volunteers more than all but two other nations, the Netherlands and Sweden. In 201…

The global economy isn't zero-sum.

That's not evidence of a decline, see http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=US+real+GDP+over+time . That would seem to indicate that other countries are catching up, not that the US…

The Soviet Union put humans in space. And you have to be able to compete at all before you can lose a multi-decade arms race between superpowers. At what cost? How many Ukrainians …

The backwater pre-industrial, post-war torn nation that beat the US to space? No, I don't think that was why they couldn't compete Pretty amazing what you can do when you're willin…

That's mean individual wage, not household. Per capita GDP isn't a good indicator here. I'd be careful about suggesting naïveté while advocating for a minimum wage higher than the …

Given that the mean wage was only $43,460 in 2009, in order to raise minimum wage to $60,000 per year, your pay cut would be to minimum wage. The government would have to confiscat…
