If you've ever run tableau server, you know why.

I run a small one, with little effort other than what comes along with Windows - its our only Windows based system. I would be interesting to know what the problems you have faced are.

I think a better question is what problems they haven't faced.

> Linkedin is down 38%. Tesla is down quite a bit. My guess is that some VCs were leveraged and had to liquidate positions. You're not a VC if your money is in publicly-traded firms.

Or maybe, this is a crazy idea, some VCs have diversified portfolios that include public stocks.

Personally I'm sure, but that's not how VC funds work. You raise a fund with the understanding it will be invested in new ventures.

Doubtful - if global investors aren't putting their money into stocks, they'll just continue to buy up real estate.

Once you take the crazy money out of the equation, the SF Bay Area is not that appealing as a pure real estate play.

Russians and Chinese are a major contributor, and they're not so affected by SV cycles.

My experiences are very different.

Many Linux services have a concept of reloading. If the config file changes you can send the running program a signal and it will re read the config. This is very useful for production systems.

Tableau (9 at least) has no such concept.

Change the email address it reports to? Restart tableau.

Change the location of the SSL certificates? Restart tableau.

Want to apply an update for tableau? Uninstall your current version and install the new one. Oh and until recently when you downloaded the installer for tableau server the file name didn't actually contain the version number.

This product was not designed with ops in mind at all.

Edit: I forgot, I've actually had a tableau server fill itself up with logs. Tableau has logs in many different locations outside of windows event viewer and doesn't include log rotation facilities for all if them.

huge corrections under way, guarantee this is not the end, just the beginning. unicorn slaughter. upside: expect house prices in the SF bay area to become more affordable.

Doubtful - if global investors aren't putting their money into stocks, they'll just continue to buy up real estate.

With such rose colored glasses you should become a real estate agent. Always a good time to buy!

This is an extremely frustrating thread to follow. We have some people who have run a Tableau server with no issues, and now two people who are effectively saying "oh, it's awful but I have no interest in telling you why".

Linkedin is down 38%. Tesla is down quite a bit. My guess is that some VCs were leveraged and had to liquidate positions. Free money from leverage does not look as good when equities go down... I think we are heading for a most violent year on the markets. Pharma and biothechs will most likely be the only bright spots, especially anti-anxiety drugs... :-) Keep plugging at building great software that actually helps m…

You're saying that VCs (i.e. funds that do not invest in public companies) figured out they're too leveraged and had to sell the (public!) share of LinkedIn exactly as LinkedIn announced horrible results/outlook?

A few things in the above explanaiton aren't completely consistent...

Did you think that as soon as a company goes public, VCs get to sell all their stocks?

Tesla and LinkedIn had their IPOs 5-6 years ago, they aren't being held by VC funds. Tableau's major holders also don't include any VC funds:
