Re:Ask HN: How do I improve our data infrastructure? on Sunday April 21, 2019 @01:08PM (#19713126)
MemSQL could be a good fit if you need a SQL-based data warehousing tool. They have pretty good integration with Kafka and BI tools.
Thanks! The reference sheet is a good idea.
Thank you! Yeah definitely will work on that going forward.
For my use case I would prefer to have 100% of system resources on one OS. Also, I'm coming from a Mac and would prefer the "integrated" feel if that makes sense

Ask HN: Is Bash for Windows good enough to replace a Linux/Mac terminal?

I know the Interop feature is coming to Bash for Windows (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/10/19/interop-between-windows-and-bash/) which to me seems to solve the complaints I had with the initial implementation.Can anyone comment on their experiences using Bash for Windows for development full-time?Thanks!

As with most things, I think that it is a trade off. There is a very delicate balance between security and privacy.

Too much surveillance

- General public feels incredibly uncomfortable due to lack of privacy

- An incredibly scary amount of power in the hands of whoever has access to that information ( and who knows what they will do with it )

- Reduced risk of terrorism and security concerns

Too little

- Increased risk of terrorism + massive security concerns due to lack of intelligence ( it's like trying to find a needle in a huge haystack )

- Public feels safe due to perceived increased privacy and yet feels unsafe due to ( potentially ) increased number of terrorist incidents.

It's a rather difficult problem to solve. How can we extract critical security information without invading people's privacy?

Looks to be a really interesting article. Would really appreciate a font change and justified text though.

This is a really lovely story. I'm not usually one to be sentimental bit this has got me thinking of my priorities in life.
Re:New Windows 10 Devices From Microsoft on Tuesday October 06, 2015 @12:38PM (#10340138)
Curious how Microsoft can enter the market this openly. Don't they have an agreement of some sort with hardware manufacturers ( HP, Dell etc) that they won't enter the market?

Thought this was referring to the Blackboard software. From the comments it seems that people agree with me :)
