We already do surrender some rights, like the right to eat your neighbors, which other animals have.
That's what makes us human I think.
It's called the social contract.

Integrating real time city bikes data and real time bus times is the killer feature for such a situation.

> We're already experimenting with different approaches to the graph visualization like visualizing the links between items.
Yes please! Being able to visualize links between items that I created would be amazing.
Coloring items by cluster would be great too: I'd like to have different types of items (some would represent customers, others features-requests, and I'd like to be able to differentiate customers and feature-requests in the graph visually while visualizing links among them).
Linkurious | Junior backend developer | JavaScript, Node.js | Paris, France | ONSITE https://linkurio.us/careers/junior-backend-developer/
Linkurious is an award winning graph visualization startup founded in 2013 and based in Paris. We create software to help Fortune 500 companies and government agencies find hidden insights in complex connected data.
Our graph visualization and analysis software is used by our customers worldwide for fraud detection, enterprise architecture management, medical research and IT management. In 2016, our solution was used by the International Consortium for Investigative Journalism (ICIJ) to investigate the Panama Papers, the biggest data leak in history.
Demo of our software with the crunchbase dataset: http://crunchbase.linkurio.us/demo/
It's written in TypeScript, so you can write your frontend in TypeScript. Many bugs averted.
You can use a real reactive model (http://victorsavkin.com/post/137821436516/managing-state-in-...)
There are currently numerous demonstrations, going on for weeks, against the latest neo-liberal labor-bill from the government.
Nothing about off-hours emails, sorry.
We basically rewrote the whole system is PHP+MySQL (front end and back office). It was my first time writing PHP professionally and it still seems to be working :)
The use-case you describe (a couple million nodes + edges) sounds like a fairly reasonable task for Neo4j.
If Neo4j has been a bad experience for you, I also recommend looking into TitanDB v1+, which scales horizontally (backed by Cassandra), although the query language (Gremlin) is not as easy to learn as Cypher.
I see a lot of French people convinced that France is worse than anywhere else in the world. Everything that is done in France is seen as "not good enough" by many French. It's an attitude problem and might be the reason why so many of us move away, convinced that "things are better out there".
Maybe the biggest problem with having the state do so much for us is that it makes many people act like spoiled kids: they see things as not-perfect-enough and are easily discouraged.
In my opinion, it would have be extremely difficult to bootstrap our company anywhere else. As everyone knows, getting out of cash is what kills early stage companies. We go access to "free cash" (0% loans and more than 100k€ in grants) and some of our employees got paid on unemployment benefits .. I mean, how much further could you go? We survived thank to this benefits.
Because I see this: http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/01/blablacar-raises-a-massive-...
And this: http://1000startups.fr/?lang=en
And I see Paris being startup-heaven in a couple of years. And things are already pretty nice!
Frankly, if you are an early stage startup with young people Paris is not the cheapest, but you have access to everything: public transportation is free if you are officially unemployed and living with roommates can make everything much cheaper!
I have the exacts same experience as you working at a NYC insurance company (9 to 5 then go home).
I also know at lot of companies here (in France) where people work their asses off everyday.
Some of us started working on the project while getting unemployment benefits (huge boost).
We get (very) affordable office spaces from the city and various incubators (we are located in Paris).
We are able to live on first customers + 0% loans from the state + hundreds of thousands of euros in various grants for innovation (http://www.bpifrance.fr/), so we don't need to dilute our shares by raising funds too early.
We get no income taxes for the first years.
Employees have social security. Healthcare is cheap and very good.
Why would we want to start run company anywhere else?
Our product connects to Neo4j databases and enables full-text search, visualization design (select nodes/edges, apply size/color to nodes/edges according to properties) with a point-and-click interface.

The fines are considered "operating costs" by UberPop, who takes care of paying the fines when UberPop drivers are getting caught.
You can remove the quotes at illicit.
It would be interesting to see how today's super-fancy-html5 javascript-everywhere no-tables Websites look in 14 years with a modern browser.
All the "terrible" techniques you mention actually do the job in a surprisingly time-robust way.
Engineering versus hype.
I am not claiming that chrisajoudi did anything intentionally wrong, he simply does not contribute as much.
