This is just a simple post about some recent news:
JPMorgan shares dive after $2bn trading loss
Do the math, that is like vanishing 8,000 homes which is possibly about 20,000 people. Who will be affected by this loss? I guess we will soon find out.

Feeling Antique
At 37 years old I should feel like a real pro in my field. In some cases I do, in other cases, I feel like I have so much to learn. We are amidst the ever dreaded but "good" scaling mode. Our company data is growing so much and our current infrastructure is not holding up.
I am now looking into Hive + Hadoop + Java + PHP to find answers. Good thing, I know PHP and RDBMS inside and out. Bad thing, Hive + Hadoop is a new kind of animal to me. I am frustrated that I don't have a solution to fix our problem but also knowing that "fixing" our problem is a large-scale task. Or maybe, someone else already knows how to do this that I could learn from.
I have been a self starter my entire life but I feel that now this task is much larger than just me and I has my head spinning. I guess I will press on and see how much I can absorb to make this stuff work!
