I believe you have reversed latitude and longitude in your first data figure.
The title should likely read "with RedShift" instead of "with SQL".
Re:How We Built Uber’s Highest Query per Second Service Using Go

I was surprised to not see PostGIS at least mentioned. I've been using PostGIS professionally for the last few years and only have good things to say, the toolchain is very mature.
We make pretty extensive use of R-Tree indexes in PostGIS, tables with 10,000,000+ rows and shapes that roughly match streets, parcels, blocks, zip codes. While I don't have 99th percentile data offhand average query time is <1ms. Perhaps there are slow responses at the 99th percentile however I would be very surprised by this.

The page claims that the new wiki is written with a distributed database but from what I can tell it just writes pages to the file system?

Re:Ask HN: Is Swift ready for production yet?
on Wednesday January 14, 2015 @12:52PM (#8887828)
Swift is fine. I have released a Swift app that uses the maps api pretty extensively and it works great.
As BSousa mentions, xcode can be a bit flakey sometimes (syntax parser/autocomplete crashes sometimes) however it automatically restarts so it isn't really an issue.
I agree with BSousa that this FUD seems like a cultural red flag with the company.
