Ironic that the posted link returns a 500 "Error establishing a database connection"

The link points to a news site which probably is not that well provisioned.

State of the internet in 2017: News sites that does not use caching. In 2017. Let that sink in.

Seems to be a little too much traffic for their database. Here's a link to a cached version by Google. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...

That loaded very slowly for me as well. Here's a prettified IPFS-hosted version:

On a side note that has to be the longest e-mail footer I've seen in a good while.

Reminded me of a usenet post from years ago but can't find it now, anyone know which one I mean?

While looking for said usenet post I found something else though, here: https://www.slashdot.org/story/18304

Today bet365 have signed the agreement to purchase all Basho IP. We expect the agreement to be ratified in the US courts next week. Once cleared, our intention is to open source all code, help rebuild the community and collaboratively take the development of RIAK forward.

In the coming weeks we will hopefully answer the questions people have and will be calling on the community to help forge the initial RIAK Roadmap.

One of the initial questions we have for the community is which OSS license would people like applied to the code? Our thought is the most open and permissive.

Like BSD or MIT licenses? That would be great.

Indeed. Martin: just use a link. Law firms do it so you can too.

I think Riak properly materialized the NoSQL promise of fully scale-out architectures. Have not seen an open source product that delivers on this (no Mongo does not cut it for me). Sad to see they did not manage to make a business out of it... The bet takers may be a good patron to the project, but ideally it is governed by an independent shop that focuses on further development and marketing.

RethinkDB was good from a distributed systems perspective, but a nightmare to maintain in production. Backups and restores would take 12+ hours on ten gigabytes or so and slow queries would grind the whole system to a halt, which isn't possible in Erlang based systems like Riak due to the preemptive scheduling of the BEAM.
