Dr. McElhone used to say, "the answer is obvious to even the most casual observer." That was how he reacted to knuckleheads. But, then, he was Ph.D. in math stat, which isn't an easy thing to do anywhere. And it's really not easy at Iowa State.
So, today, yet again, we get more leaks; that Flynn told the WH that he was under investigation by the FBI on 4 January, weeks before he got his NSA appointment. The talking heads were beside themselves, at least the left heads, with the question: what's the attraction twixt Neville Chamberlain Trump and Flynn???? And the answer has been staring at the rest of us since Flynn became publicly attached to the campaign. Neville Chamberlain Trump is batshit nuts. Flynn is even more batshit nuts. So, Flynn whispered sweet crazies in Neville's ear, and Neville got a massive hard on. Neville just misses those hard ons. It's just that simple. Loonie birds flock together.
IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.
Infinite granularity yields infinite complexity.
Leading an Insurrection is now an Official Act
The world is not linear.

Well, I'm going to do it, whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them.

Scientists aren't vocal enough about science. There are large groups of people who think scientists are all frauds and who don't
believe in science, and they're being cultured by some of our far right-wing politicians, religious leaders and community leaders. -- Dr. McElhone/1974

To date, Microsoft is stating that organizations testing In-Memory OLTP have
seen transaction speeds improve by up to 30 times compared to past
performance, with the best performance gains achieved when the business
logic resides in the database and not in the applications.

I have had to explain and re-explain and re-explain and re-explain, you know, how relational databases work, what is an eigenvector,
what is dimensionality reduction.
-- Christopher Wylie/2018
... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having
a large impact on filesystem design. Right now, most filesystems tend to be designed with the latencies of rotating media in mind.

Election day's thought
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H. L. Menken/1915 [
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode machines, there is no reason not to
build from BCNF data. Time to do what Dr. Codd demonstrated. Technology has finally caught up with the maths.

Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
