End of an era for sure. But then there is this I guess: Something in Deep Space Is Sending Signals to Earth in Steady 16-Day Cycles: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/wxexwz/something-in-deep-...
Re:Time Series, the new shiny? on Tuesday May 10, 2016 @07:14AM (#11666329)
I think Datomic which has been doing time series data for years now answers the "what’s the big deal" question for me:

"Given a value of the database, one can obtain another value of the database as-of, or since, a point in time in the past, or both (creating a windowed view of activity). These database values can be queried ordinarily, without having to make special queries parameterized by time." http://www.datomic.com/rationale.html

So in other words you get to see exactly how the whole database looked at any given moment through history (certain parallels with the blockchain I suppose).

Wonderful. That's really great news!

Of course you're correct and I don't claim that these are uncrackable. Just a way to practice a bit of clojure while the missus had her girlfriends over.

Probably should yes!
Re:Ask HN: Very strange favicon on Gmail. Has anyone seen this? on Sunday September 15, 2013 @06:48PM (#6390629)
One of my PMs had this last week. We assumed it was some sort of maintenance mode indicator given the spanner icon. A mystery indeed!

Good summary. Fortunately you have the likes of Balanced to make life slightly easier. Outside the US we're screaming out for a similar service.

They put it in quotes because its their company strap line. It's at the footer of every one of their pages: "giving a @&$#!! since 19xx (some year I don't recall)

Looks like it could be good but the author needs to check his/her markup on a mobile. Looks terrible on my iPhone.
Is this targeted to the US, UK or general housing market?
Re:Scott Forstall leaves Apple on Monday October 29, 2012 @06:50PM (#4714962)
To take the scalpe of the "mini-Steve" AKA "CEO in waiting" shows an adeptness at self-preservation if nothing else.

And the scheme has subsequently been canned. They have replaced it with a child ISA instead. Not sure if that was due to be being too successful.
