I think you are misattributing his snark. In his regular column he has a recurring section called "Blockchain blockchain blockchain" such as in [1] in which he covers how the finan…

Well TBH you do get to pick which Hadoop-related components need to run, HDFS's Datanode itself is happy with just a bit of RAM. I do understand the concern though. You're probably…

You seem to have a pretty typical use case that we're targeting. One thing to understand about Kudu is that it doesn't run queries, it only stores the data. You can use Impala or D…

Hi, I work on Apache Kudu (incubating). Analytics is what Kudu was designed for (it's not just marketing), so some tradeoffs were made. You'll get the biggest bang for the buck if …

Yeah, the title in the article does says "Apache Kudu", maybe it was changed later. What it should really be is "Apache Kudu (incubating)".

Heh, Poe's Law, etc :) I guess you could also call it Quantum Consistency.

The issue isn't that MongoDB is eventually consistent, it's that the documentation claims that in some cases it's strictly consistent[1] while Kyle found that: "MongoDB, even at th…

Will it be the end of eat24's weekend coupons? When they started they were regularly giving 3-4 bucks per coupon. Now, I can't remember the last time it wasn't $2, apart from those…

That along with: "Many of you use Direct Messages to reach the people and brands you’re only connected to on Twitter." So the blog post's target audience seems to be their own user…

Well you really... saved the day!

Ah that makes more sense, thanks.

> and me for French > The French guy actually translated "Garbage day" to something like "Shitty day" So you translated it to "jour de merde"?

Merci :) I wonder why Google translated "huis-clos" to "camera" in the header text. Best I could find is that Sartre's Huis Clos was originally called "in camera" which means: http…

> I think it's more likely they didn't understand the law fully rather than malicious intent. The workers were after-all, temporary and were not going to be staying in the US perma…

Best I can tell, they have a presence in India: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-EFI-RVW5844... http://www.justdial.com/Bangalore/efi-india-pvt-ltd-%3Cnear%... So m…

For those interested, a good source for a lot of publicly reported crashes, accidents, incidents and whatnot is The Aviation Herald. Here's the list of all their recorded crashes s…

Ah I see where you were coming from, so you're saying that it's ridiculous since most spouses probably gave up/found something else to do, and those who would really benefit from a…

I don't think it's ridiculous, and the current 97k H4s that will now be able to work are probably pretty happy about it [1]. Regarding the L2s being able to get their EADs but not …

As whitenoise mentions below, it's only if your I-140 has been approved or your H1B has been extended that your spouse can work. Even if you are getting your H1B this October, and …

> First, people traveling together tend to sit next to each other, so ordering by "columns" instead of rows breaks them apart in the queue You can order by column but still let fam…

I come from one of the towns mentioned in the article, Thetford Mines (they somehow misspelled it), which is about 45 minutes drive from Asbestos. Reading the local newspaper is al…

From the same article: “All the dot-com ideas were correct,” he said. “They were all too early. They are happening now.” The article's title is clickbait.

Maybe, but I'm not sure if it matters. Like the article says, spouses of L-1s are already doing it, same for the spouses of Australian E-3 holders. From wikipedia: "spouses of E-3 …

(not a flightfox user but my 2 cents) Booking an award trip can be much harder to do unless you have an easy route like a domestic non-stop. The ITA matrix won't show you those fli…

Not really. What counts is how many MPs you get voted in, including the leader who's going to become the PM (see footnote). Let's say there's 100 counties, then you need to win 51 …
