Re:Ask HN: What DB to use for huge time series? on Thursday September 25, 2014 @03:53PM (#8369359)
I work at TempoIQ, and we still to offer our storage service. We've launched a new product (as TempoIQ) that is hosted in a private environment and offers storage, historical analysis, and real-time monitoring.

As for the customers on TempoDB, we are working them to transition to TempoIQ if the switch makes sense or offering to guide them in a transition to another time-series database like InfluxDB.

Why?

What questions do you get from non-technical people about the Internet?

Posted by samdjohnson on Friday December 23, 2011 @11:58AM
from the self-post dept.

I am curious what common questions hackers get about the internet, whether it's during consulting, working on a project, or just talking to relatives. I know that a lot of people don't understand the internet to the degree they should, but I'm interested in the specific things they are curious about.Ex. "Why does it take 24-48 hours to change our domain name?"
