Neat. I like the fresh take on validation. It’s not necessarily unique, but it may be cleaner / more efficient than previous attempts. The mixing of backend processing and the http layer reminds me of my CouchDB days. @stream seems pot

Normalization matters. Well put.

Congrats! That's a big war chest to go to market.

Awesome news. Was very happy to invest. I wish this existed for onboarding when we were scaling Cloudant.

It's also popular to price a seed round (from 500k up, in my experience) using the "Series Seed" legal documents that are close to boilerplate now. As a founder turned investor, it seems that those docs could be streamlined

That part is, in my experience, vanishingly cheap if you're not doing high rate DB transactions. The whole thing could clearly be moved to other managed hosting providers or private servers, and I'm sure ultimately you can run a

I think the pro is 'feed-able', wonder if that's it.

Take a look at the specs -- you can either vent them out a window or buy the air filter (which I'm guessing is a fancy charcoal scrubber, don't know for sure).

Good question for somebody on the GF team. My last company was Cloudant so my biases are pretty obvious.

This one I actually know -- biohazards depend on more than just wattage -- spot size, wavelength, pulse characteristics, etc, all go into it. I think you really compare them based on the Poynting vector. Disclosure: I'm a GF backer a

Good question, I _think_ the ideas is the exact opposite -- you're not depending on Glowforge UI to be backed by a startups servers, the software runs on google cloud instead. Pros and cons, obviously, but I think the main pro is (lik

I ordered one, wish I could pick it up in person instead of paying the shipping. Particularly interested in seeing what one can do with just a pen and skipping the computer design stage...

Will give it a spin.

Good points.

Hey, that's a million times prettier. Maybe you could drop some of that UI goodness onto the public hind-cite dataset?

by mlmilleratmit 12y ago
Good thought. I've been trying to think of how to do that without crawling the comments, too.

In our spare time, we're researching this dataset in detail. Here are some questions that we're interested in. Would love to hear other ideas and to have folks dig into the data. I think this dataset may be of interest to hacker

Actually, the majority of our servers have been on SL bare metal since ~2010.

Very cool. I like the way that you show 'means vs time' on the left panel and then you can dig into the actual distribution on the right panel. FYI, I think that, e.g., http://weather-explorer.com/history/co

Sure, nobody claims that CouchDB is the first to have replication. MVCC was invented decades back, and hash trees have been around forever. I believe those two combined are compelling, and if you follow, e.g. risk, you'll see they&#x

I agree with some but not all of what you write. 0) CouchDB will never lose your data. Period. Not many other stores are 'append only, copy on write'. If you're data is transient, you may not care about that, but many apps

There is indeed a deterministic but arbitrary choice of the "winner", but there is a big difference with other systems -- no data is discarded. The hash tree branches and both edits are saved. You can choose which branch of the tr

And jchris jumps in with the couchbase marketing, love it. You're right, though, about how rad it is that so many things speak the Apache CouchDB replication protocol. I'm eager to hear Max talk more about syncable because I tho

I'm pretty syched to see developers taking on the interface of offline and f2f courses.

Nice work -- that's a hard problem. I've felt some of this pain as I helped Cloudant customers make hot migrations from mongo to into Cloudant. Your first two figures make it clear just how challenging hot-replications are (espe
