I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

BREAKING: Michigan Republicans Vote to Unravel the State's Middle Class, Flatten Wages and Crush Workers' Rights, according to Working Michigan Coalition

LANSING, Mich., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In  devastating blow to the middle class in Michigan, Republicans, bankrolled by wealthy, corporate CEOs, pass anti-work legislation tonight which promises to flatten wages and crush workers' rights. Following the Republicans' destructive vote, Working Michigan, a broad coalition of faith, labor and community organizations issued the following statement:

"The legislation passed tonight is nothing short of an attack on the middle class in Michigan by Republican leadership and their corporate CEO funders.  This is a divisive have law that will hurt our state by driving wages down and pitting worker against each other.

"Study after study has demonstrated the devastating effects of this sort of legislation: workers in 'right-to-work' states make $1,500 less per year, meanwhile the growth rate for 'right-to-work' states actually drops after legislation of this sort is enacted. Dressing the legislation up with benign sounding phrases like 'workplace freedom,' Michiganders understand what's at stake here and will hold them accountable.

"In the wake of this legislation, the only 'freedom' gained for Michigan workers will be the freedom to make less, the freedom to be disrespected at work, the freedom to struggle to pay their bills and the freedom to be left out of the American dream. This bill is a blatant attempt by the richest in Michigan to silence the voices of working families in our democracy, build their own power, and make the growing gap between the rich and everyone else even bigger. 

"Should Snyder sign this legislation, he will join a list of other governors – John Kasich, Scott Walker, and others – who have signed over the future of their respective states to big corporations and CEOs, making a decision to leave working families behind. Regardless of what might happen, working people have made it clear they will continue to fight for our vision of a better, stronger Michigan and work to hold elected leaders accountable."
