   Own it: Data scientists just do marketing I went to Strata (the "big data" conference) this year and had a good time.

    "I mean, when was the last time you were an asshole to somebody?" … "Today." — Doh, totally failed that test.

    This article on "combiner aggregators" is good. We use a similar technique, but for App Engine datastore transactions on high-contention entity groups.

    Blog platforms will not last forever The only way to make sure your blog will "last forever" is if you personally own the domain name it's on (e.g., http://ur1.ca/gja). If your hosting service goes away but you own your domain name, you can bring up a new host that serves your content exactly as before by reproducing all the old URLs.
