Why HN links it
A commenter links a post reproducing Stonebraker's rebuttal of MapReduce and NoSQL stores, cited against a slide contrasting RDBMS and NoSQL databases. The comment does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The slide that contrasts RDBMS and NoSQL DBs and asks "A step backwards?" reminds me of the rebuttal of MapReduce and NoSQL stores by Mike Stonebraker (copy of the article here: http://craig-henderson.blogspot.com/2009/11/dewitt-and-stone... )
