Comment on Facebook doin’ it wrong by Orwell

This is the tip of the iceberg. I happen to know this rabbit hole runs a lot deeper. If you’re concerned about your online privacy, my friend, don’t upload your life to social networking sites. Simple stuff.

By the way, nothing is private. It just appears so to the laymen. Furthermore, you’re safer having jack ass mcrandom looking over your personal data, than you are the people who administer, fund and run that data mining pit. But you feel safe because they’re established.

That’s cute.

I like to use the term “butthurt” to describe the crazies on both sides. Heck, our new real-time data platform at Drawn to Scale could even support SQL…and thanks to Clojure, we could bang out that grammar in a few hours

Thank you for stating the obvious. And you are right: if people are having a problem seeing the obvious, then their judgment is being clouded by irrational considerations.

Agree completely, although I’d only add one element, which is that NoSQL (or, more specifically, non-relational) stores also address the problem of storing data which is a poor match to the relational model, it’s not just speed and load. Other than that, yes, this is a very silly battle.

This is war.
Pick a side.
Fight.
Die in Honor.

while I agree totally with your point (as someone that mix Redis, MongoDB, and MySQL) and while zealotry is probably the first thing I dislike in programming, please – “holy war” really means something.

There will always be absolutism in the software world, as there is in the larger world – as developers we needs to see them for what they are and stay balanced – the right tool for the job.
