Would it be worthwhile to switch from MongoDB to Postgres (when MySQL is being used alongside Mongo)? I'd have to do lots of testing with it to know for sure though, I guess.
I use Mongo for timeseries-like data, and have >1 billion documents in Mongo currently. Querying super old data is pretty slow (and not needed generally), but querying recent data (recent being the last month) is "fast enough".
It's not really surprising that bulk surveillance is simple, in my opinion. The act of collection/surveillance itself isn't the hard part. It's doing it on a much larger scale.
Wardriving a Starbucks as a hobby is slightly different than installing a specialized device into every downtown DC Starbucks, even if functionally both do the same thing (collect data and/or injection).
It's possible we're in different countries, though :-).
It has its downsides of course: getting a TS security clearance can be stressful, but that goes away afterwards; not being able to tell your SO what you do other than high-level stuff; career advancement and progression can be a long process and you basically know where your salary is going to go when you first start (because it is standardized); and so on.

currently kernel panics if running QEMU with vt-x enabled on 2 cores for the guest.
Oops.From my experiences in university so far (Comp Sci), this experience seems to be pretty rare. If I ever have kids, I hope to be able to guide them in a similar way I learned as a kid. If they want to mod Minecraft, sure, let's start with that and not a boring tutorial for TodoApp#5034.
Fortunately, someone offered to take it up recently so I feel much better now.
For me, I just want an OS that works so that I can do work and not have to fiddle with debugging a weird issue happening or setting up things that should just be working out of the box.
I'll stick with Windows 10 and OS X which both satisfy the above :-)
I just played a game and the only time ads showed up was after the game (and before it when choosing a game). I haven't seen any ads during games.
It's best used for voting contests (hence the name), which this basically is considering the replies come at a later date.
I don't know if you'll have an editor go through everything later on, but just wanted to mention a couple of the things from the early access sample :)
