I worked on stream processing at my previous gig but don't have a need for it currently. Just curious.

I see an example with what looks like a lookup-type join against a Postgres DB. Are stream/stream joins supported, though?

The DLQ and Prometheus integration out of the box are nice.

should have made it enterprise software for HMOs - they profit when their population has better outcomes. Or sell it Epic or something and they'd package it into their systems.

Mixcloud is down as well. CDN is my bet.

I'd assume that many people view it as an honor and a credential.

marginal utility is much higher for the government (and the public) than for you

There was an episode of Nova about energy storage that included a company that made kinetic energy storage devices. IIRC they had 5000 pound flywheels that spin in a vacuum and can be installed in your home. Expensive to purchase and install but essentially unlimited lifespan and totally renewable.

Came in here to post this. This guy is unhinged by the way. He came in to give a talk in a course I was taking at UC Berkeley and as he continued to ramble on he noticed the students starting to glance at the clock on the wall above his head. He went off on a half-baked rant about how clocks don't matter and we should think for ourselves or something, then he stands up ON A CHAIR WITH WHEELS and pulls the clock off the wall. This guy is not young obviously - I was standing under him ready to catch him if he fell and the whole class was horrified.

Not too much really. Its a big interest of Mark's but its still early in the planning stages. I helped him with some preliminary research and gave this brief talk about our work: https://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/events/2018/facilitating-di...

yes - I worked on this a bit with Mark Graham, the director of the Wayback Machine

"the fact that 55% of respondents used an illegal drug when no attempt was made to generate such a high figure, when only 9.4% of the >12yo American population uses any illegal drugs, should be a warning that there may be external correlating factors not controlled for"

Do you think that middle aged men without children smoke weed at the same rate as the group you described?

yeah man, every 100 years we should have to re-abolish slavery FOH

"And contracting costs are likely to fall markedly thanks to the advent of blockchain protocols"

I really don't see any evidence of this being true in general...
