It's an interesting statement but if taken at its face value, we should have all been a lot more worried about December 21st, 2012 and the Mayan Calendar ending.


Maybe the Y2K hype softened most of those who would react.


Y2K wasn't hype: if we hadn't done the work, the outcome would have been moderately gruesome. (Not world-ending-apocalyptic gruesome, but not-getting-paid-for-a-month-and-the-stock-market-crashed gruesome.)

Indeed, it was largely due to Y2K resilience preparations that the Federal Reserve managed to keep running on 9/11:

Upshot: it might look like hype, but sometimes it's actually the symptom of a bullet dodged just in time. (Which is why I hope that this time next year, when we look back at the Ebola outbreak, there will be plenty of folks saying "nope, it was overhyped fear-mongering".)

The city of Los Angeles' financial data is also up on the OpenGov platform. https://losangeles.opengov.com

It's a positive trend for governments to share their data and be more transparent with their citizens.


This is amazing; I had no idea this existed. Thanks for sharing.


Paperclip has a small migration requirement where they add metadata(file_name, content_type,etc...) about the file to the related table.
