I don't think people consider it a dup when this one has the votes and the other one doesn't. I do agree it is bizarre when a story is submitted multiple times and the latter of the two (or more) "makes" it.

As far as the write-up goes, very good overview of NoSQL choices and some high-level ideas of when to use each option.


Here's a direct link to the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUuPPC9YaVo


Thank you!

Yahoo Video is awful. It doesn't show you how much of it has actually loaded, and once it's done it has to load all over again to play a second time.



if you've read Hughes' papers before, it's worth listening to the interview. Brings in his personality in a way that isn't conveyed well via the transcript.




Upvoted...and here's my summary, since it's not on the OP:

The adventures of a two-dimensional creature into the lands of the single-dimension and the three-dimension (and more). Also, on his efforts to evangelize his visions.

When I first read this over ten years ago, I was surprised to learn that the book itself had been published in the 19th century. It was my first true realization that people just as "smart" as us modern folk have existed for quite a while.


In the same spirit, by A.K. Dewdney : The Planiverse.



Amazon is not the publisher, Betascript Publishing is. Looking at their site, it seems that what they do is gather articles and bind them together (with or without permission, I don't know). Here is the text from their About page:

Annually, millions of works are written worldwide in the research industry. Enterprises and scientists would be especially interested in these ideas; nevertheless, up to today, most of this work is shelved as a result of high costs. Betascript Publishing specializes in the publication of such works and uses commitment and the latest technology in order to make the invaluable work of such researchers available worldwide, quickly and efficiently.


No you're not. That's why every time I see one of their interviews, I grab the transcript and dump it to google docs for everyone to use.


Here's a link to the transcript in a (hopefully) easier to read format: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATkBKEXbo6n8ZGdrNzhoM2dfND...
