agentargo··on How We Built Uber’s Highest Query per Second Service Using Go
This one uses a "Spatial" interface and has worked well enough with a little bit of tuning.

agentargo··on Ask HN: How do you track issues, todos, features?
//TODO: fix this thing below here

Been mulling around making a vim plugin like vim-flake to put the todos into the quickfix window on :w

agentargo··on Why Are Geospatial Databases So Hard to Build?
This is my thought as well. It seems like a perfectly feasible solution to me, but I might be speaking out of the naivete mentioned in the article.

agentargo··on Ask HN: Holy Crap I need an Idea
1. I most definitely agree and was the approach I took to my professor when I met with him, but he needs a solid idea to start with to make sure that we don't do five half-assed things throughout the semester and end up with nothing to show

2. The Sponsor organization (my team) gets all the rights to the products as is described in the proposal documentation "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements"

agentargo··on Ask HN: Holy Crap I need an Idea
Nope, this is from the proposal disclosure "The sponsoring organization retains the rights to the resulting software. Also, sponsors may require students to sign non-disclosure agreements, as long as the agreements" And in my case, My team and I are the sponsor
agentargo··on Calling All Engineers (Twilio is Hiring)
I live in Boulder as well and would love to be able to check out the intern position, if that's feasible for working remotely. I wouldn't mind traveling to the HQ every couple of weeks on my dime even.

agentargo··on David Heinemeier Hansson says, 'Unlearn Your MBA'
This directly addresses an internal struggle I have been having as of late. Pursue an MBA or not?

The way I see it is that business is a fluid process and while learning the basic framework of it is beneficial, it in no way corresponds to success. Any of the classes in an MBA can be learned through books. What you are paying for is the experience and the network that you can gain at a low risk, while firmly rooting a foundation of fundamentals.

agentargo··on Ask HN: The Best Books to Keep the Entrepreneurial Mindset?
Well that's the issue is that I am constantly experimenting (tasterator.com fmstalker.com), but feel like I am lacking direction.
agentargo··on Ask HN: Feedback on Hackthonia.com
I love hackathons. With more content this could be something that I would use. As far as feedback. Geolocating on the homepage for hackathons near the user would be an instant way to demonstrate the usefulness. Just a thought.
agentargo··on Tasterator
Spun this up yesterday because I was curious as to how my music taste would be rated. Is it more than just a gimmick if it was developed to take things like metacritic in a new direction?
agentargo··on New developments in AI
"But confidence to the point of arrogance is practically a degree requirement for computer scientists."

Spot On.

agentargo··on The Last Question by Isaac Asimov
The major themes here are ones that challenge us and are hard to cope with. Particularly the theme of inevitability. It is in the back of all of our minds and we condition ourselves to accept it, but it is always there. Asimov solves the inevitability of resource degradation by expansion and the inevitability of death by immortality, but in the end there are both, in fact, inevitable. When all seems lost and the bleakness of our existence is brought into scope, he presents the cyclic nature of time. A novel approach to a problem that plagues the core of our being. This is where the story really jumped from good to amazing for me. I'm still stuck on it.
