The Rise of Disaster Capitalism --...Although hotels and industry have already started reconstructing on the coast, in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and India, governments have passed laws preventing families from rebuilding their oceanfront homes. Hundreds of thousands of people are being forcibly relocated inland, to military style barracks in Aceh and prefab concrete boxes in Thailand. The coast is not being rebuilt as it was--dotted with fishing villages and beaches strewn with handmade nets. Instead, governments, corporations and foreign donors are teaming up to rebuild it as they would like it to be: the beaches as playgrounds for tourists, the oceans as watery mines for corporate fishing fleets, both serviced by privatized airports and highways built on borrowed money....
Naomi Klein on "reconstruction" money after natural disasters--and who benefits. (Makes Wolfowitz seem like a less unlikely choice to head the World Bank after reading, too.)

MySQL Kicks Puppies And Steals From The

MySQL Kicks Puppies And Steals From The
Elderly 09/06/2004 04:37 PM

Chu Yeow rounds up a couple of sites that have a bone to pick with MySQL. They outline a couple of them that I didn't know about that sound like real scalability problems, like:

• Making changes to a table definition causes a temporary copy of the table to be created. If you have a very large table, that could be a problem.
• Hanging up on a long running query doesn't stop it. If one of your queries goes broken arrow, you have to use mysqladmin to shut it down.

Chu has this to say:

I work extensively with MySQL and there are times when I wish for stuff like referential integrity (available with InnoDB tables, but most hosts don?t provide it) so I don?t have to code constraint checks in the application. [...] And after reading [these MySQL gotchas], I?ll never trust what MySQL does to my data again (silently change my data would you, mysqld?

This is definitely stuff that you need to keep in mind when you're writing apps that use MySQL. While it's not always feasible, it's always smart to code your apps to be able to use multiple storage mechanisms. I don't completely follow with Chu's take, though, that MySQL can't be trusted. You just have to know what it is you're dealing with when you start using it. Some of the MySQL folks will tell you that MySQL is great for everything. Nothing is great for everything.
