Uh I don't think you understand the way middle eastern labor works.
Qatar is not a poor third world country. Flooding money into a country swimming in oil is not going to help laborers from actual third world countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, India etc. They are taking advantage of ignorant people from third world countries. I grew up in the middle east and I know the way they treat people from the countries I listed. They TAKE YOUR PASSPORT and hold it hostage until you finish work. Everyone that is a citizen is involved in this from the top to the bottom. They don't even pay you enough for you to BUY a ticket to go home. IT IS ALMOST SLAVERY.
And theres stupid fucks made of ignorance like you that actually say that you don't fucking care. I suggest you do research before you spew more disgusting, poisonous shit from both ends.
Nope. As long as your idea is reasonable(which is a high chance assuming you have your head on straight which is clearly not the case if you're doing stuff like developing an 'elixir for immortality' or building a 'google killer'), you have some semblance of a product and at-least a seed round in funding, getting acquihired is not at all a problem. Trust me, I've already gotten offers for acquisitions and I've barely begun fundraising.
Thats silly. You never start out trying to get acquihired unless you know exactly what the company you want to get acquihired by, wants. You aim super high for an ipo but if stuff goes south, you can always get acquihired.
Except they're not doing that. Quite the opposite infact, they've invented a lot of the malware themselves. maybe this too. If I cant have my cake at least i can choose not to fucking pay for someone else(taxes). Smartass.
only in a "free-"market. Also there is a concept of "fair price" for a reason. You can't charge insane prices everywhere, especially for essential items.
Performance would grant us the best reason to switch. Because otherwise we are quite satisfied with mongo. I have seen the technical comparison. I will keep an eye out for the performance results. Thanks for letting me know.
I really like the idea behind rethink and the concept as well. I've also looked at documentation and it seems very simple to use.
Also, I understand that 'benchmarking' databases is extremely situational and generally inaccurate. However, without reasonable ways to measure an increase in performance, its really hard for me to make the decision to switch from mongo to rethink.
What I'm trying to ask is, does anyone have any information that can help me decide where, how, when and why should I use make the decision to switch from mongo to rethink? Not just for me but also so that I can show others in my team to get a consensus to switch.
Unfortunately, lack of evidence that he has funded YC Companies is not evidence that hes a bad VC. I'm not saying he isn't, instead, if you could provide proof from various (more than 5) founders that have obtained funding from him and yet feel this way, it might make for a better argument.
Insane overreactions are becoming extremely commonplace and quite frankly, its very disillusioning. I'm extremely disappointed in the tech community. Being an ass is not the same as discriminating against or hating a group of people.
Did you even look at that? Just because you were lucky enough to be able to pay off your loans doesnt mean everyone is. What if they dont find a job in their field? And have to work at minimum wage?
What about the veterans that come back from fighting for the country which includes these 'corporations'? Do the corporations guarantee them a higher salary?
How is that not EXPLOITATION? Just because the rich people are able to keep minimum wage low by having funds and time to spend lobbying, does that mean that it is correct?
How? Because of a vicious cycle that begins with the low wages. You pay someone low wages so:
1) their kids can't pay for college => they can't get a proper education => lack of education/skillset in the kids
2) their kids have to work at these 'corporations' because of lack of education so they can put food on the table
3) their kids resort to stealing or some other illegal activity because they didnt have much of a choice => go to juvenile detention => no college => no skillset that you claim is not your fault
Is that enough or do you want me to go out and get some case studies as well?
The solution? How about increasing the wage so that these guys dont have to work more than 20 hours a day? How about taking a loss of a billion dollars to reduce profit from 7 billion to 6 billion but in return provide for a better life for the thousands of less fortunate people? If some shareholder makes a few million dollars less, hes not going to die. But the people that are living on food stamps, might very well.
How does costco manage to do this without going into the red? Im not whining that theres no security, i'm stating that making the claim that there is security is WRONG. How about you read with your eyes open? thanks.
Edit: clarification.
Edit2: another proof that you can make a profit while actually caring for employees: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/03/the-trad...
Edit3: The supply and demand crap you spew is total garbage. Nothing is 'just supply and demand'. There is much more including profit creation as a result of fulfilling demand with supply. All I suggest is reduce the profit slightly so you pay your low level workers more. They already make less than a third of what people with education do. How about making it equal to or slightly more than a THIRD?
#1 is flat out wrong. THERE IS NO SECURITY! Is mcdonalds right? paying people so little that they need another job to not be out on the street? How is that TAKING CARE of employees? Before you say mcdonalds is an exception, theres so many others so dont give me the bullshit about wealth exists because blah.
If you're being picky please THINK before blurting. It says life could involve CELLS. Which is plural. Which points towards multi-cellular and NOT single-cellular organisms. Also look at definitions of cell. All of which imply cell as being a smaller unit of a LARGER whole. As for your utterly stupid question of why compare it to a cell: BECAUSE they are the basic units of which larger life forms are generally composed.
Do risks make something not worth doing? If it was the case, we wouldnt have airplanes because they can cause a fatal accidents. NASA wouldn't have attempted any shuttle launches because that can and has caused fatal accidents. Medicines can cause fatal accidents. DRIVING can cause fatal accidents. So would you rather sit at home in fear or attempt to do amazing things after doing everything you can to make them as safe as possible.
'infiltrated by feds' is a presumption based on speculation at this point. Assumptions dont 'correctly reflect events'. If you want to fix something, fix it entirely.
