We Are Boring

چکیده
Despite all of these applications revolving around data, the database community appears to be content to cede these domains to our AI colleagues. This is absurdly short-sighted, and just as with the world-wide web, and (nearly) big data, we risk being an also-ran in the most significant trend in computer science in the coming decade. These smart systems will change the way we commute, work, and play, and the database community ought to be thinking about how we can contribute rather than sitting on the sidelines optimizing our elephants.

The Mesoproterozoic – no “boring billion”
The authors show that the Mesoproterozoic (1.6-1.0 bn year before present) was no “boring billion” but a “bustling billion” - not only with Stromatolites and their apex in the Calymmian and Ectasian but also with the presence of multicellular organisms. To make it visible a graphical reconstruction was created. For a long time, it was assumed that there existed no noteworthy biosphere on Earth ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Flexible-Tool Rotation on Regenerative Instability in Machining
For rotating-tool machining, such as milling, line boring, and cylinder boring, the tool rotation causes the machining force on each tooth to rotate repetitively relative to the inertial coordinate frame. This is quite different than stationary-tool machining, such as turning or boring with a stationary boring bar, in which the force directions are fixed relative to the inertial frame. Although...
متن کاملInter‐assemblage facilitation: the functional diversity of cavity‐producing beetles drives the size diversity of cavity‐nesting bees
Inter-specific interactions are important drivers and maintainers of biodiversity. Compared to trophic and competitive interactions, the role of non-trophic facilitation among species has received less attention. Cavity-nesting bees nest in old beetle borings in dead wood, with restricted diameters corresponding to the body size of the bee species. The aim of this study was to test the hypothes...
متن کاملRAM analysis of earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines: A case study
Earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines (EPB-TBMs) are favorably applied in urban tunneling projects. Despite their numerous advantages, considerable delays and high maintenance cost are the main disadvantages these machines suffer from. Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis is a practical technique that uses failure and repair dataset obtained over a reasonable ti...
متن کاملEntity Extraction is a Boring Solved Problem - Or is it?
This paper presents empirical results that contradict the prevailing opinion that entity extraction is a boring solved problem. In particular, we consider data sets that resemble familiar MUC/ACE data, and report surprisingly poor performance for both commercial and research systems. We then give an error analysis that suggests research challenges for entity extraction that are neither boring n...
متن کاملChemical versus mechanical bioerosion of coral reefs by boring sponges--lessons from Pione cf. vastifica.
Bioerosion by boring sponges is an important mechanism shaping the structure of coral reefs all around the world. To determine the excavation rate by boring sponges, we developed a system in which chemical and mechanical boring rates [calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) dissolution and chip production, respectively] were measured simultaneously in experimental tanks containing reefal rock inhabited by ...
