Super helpful, thanks. What I mean is something akin to a single-node daemon with network capabilities. Something as basic as a memcached or redis type of interface to start.

Ask HN: Why are there no open source NVMe-native key value stores in 2023?

nphase — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 10:41:02 +0000

Hi HN, NVMe disks, when addressed natively in userland, offer massive performance improvements compared to other forms of persistent storage. However, in spite of the existence of projects like SPDK and SplinterDB, there don't seem to be any open source, non-embedded key value stores or DBs out in the wild yet.

Why do you think that is? Are there possibly other projects out there that I'm not familiar with?

The word "discrimination" also appears on this page 22 times: https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp . This is only a precisely targeted case if we ignore all other cases like it, of which there are many.

There are literally 1902 results for "discriminating" on the DOJ's press release search page, and they only go back as far as 2009. That's also for the ones they chose to publicize. I appreciate that you think this is unnecessary - I do too - but the facts don't bear in your favor.

A friend with specific knowledge about these suits just informed me that these lawsuits are in fact incredibly common. Many large companies have multiple open audits with the feds at any given time over alleged discriminatory practices - in fact so many of them occur that there is a cap set for how many of them can be open at any given time. This is less political or specific than it appears at face value.

I am not a lawyer, but I believe that without consent, this may actually be illegal in the state of Illinois.

Conversely, there is the XY fallacy: when one [frequently condescendingly] assumes they know better than the person asking, errantly classifies it as an XY problem, and fails to answer the original question.

These are all over the place in Frankfurt. They are unmanned and nondescript, it's literally just the door you exit through. There are no lights or anything, but somehow they make it seem pretty clear that it's just to keep people from slipping through in the unintended direction.

nphase — Wed, 28 Aug 2013 23:15:40 +0000

Interesting concept.. might want to highlight the destination a bit more prominently. When carrying multiple boarding passes, prominently displaying departure point and destination will make it easier to make sure you have the wrong one out at time of boarding..
