Exactly! lol


IMO, is this Good advice for hacker news itself. It contains diverse topics in one stream, such as history, Botany, and Coding. You can argue it is a feature or a bug.


In almost every way imaginable, I think this is counter-productive. This is just shallow thinking of the policymakers. Do they think human productivity works like machines in a factory? Good luck!


Those images have only a little commercial use IMO.


I'm confused. Everything sounds very expensive to me.

The last table which compares it with the other vendors is surprising. Even Stich Data (cheapest) costs $1 to move 240K records: (1B / 4,166.67 = 240K). Is this real?

So, their solution costs $1 to process 13.6M records. Sounds like this is not very share-worthy.

What I'm missing here?


What I want to know is why the fuck it takes 8 days to load 700MM records—in 2024.

I couldn’t even continue reading the article because it must be from 2006.


700M records in 8 days (1024 rps) is to mimic a real-world transactional (OLTP) workload. It doesn't define limits on what throughput can be achieved.


Ahhh. Thank you. That makes more sense.


Welcome to 2024 and the generation of developers raised in the cloud native world who think this is normal.

A billion rows is nothing and having $100 appear in conjunction with that is absurd unless you are doing some kind of really heavy compute or AI model training on that data.

By 2030 we’ll have those costs well up over a thousand dollars and it’ll take five or six separate SaaS systems wired together to do this. Progress!


To be fair, my machine that can process 1B rows an unlimited number of times still cost $1000 to build, so if you need a one off maybe paying the $100 is better?


Love this extract: "Cloudflare’s hard fought victory, the culmination of three years of litigation, is a strong warning to all patent trolls–we will not be intimidated into playing your game."

Thank you CloudFlare for doing your part!


It's so beautiful! Love it!


Thanks for sharing your story. I want to acknowledge you we feel your devastation. Accept my virtual hugs. I wish peace and harmony to you, your family, and your son.


Not sure why this article is focused on car ads. Nowadays, I ignore most of industry and many other awards.

E.g. "Ranked #1 as the most popular university among international students" (I saw this ad on a bus). It doesn't say anything about the quality of the education or the recognition.

You can trust customer reviews more than these awards.


I can't agree more!
