what are the properties of the table? is the whole table 2B rows or is that the amount of row updates/inserts that happen per period (day, week, month)? We do handle a lot of large table volumes on both our products already, but there

Open Table Formats (Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hudi, etc) are the approach we've taken. That let's us offer a query engine but also let's the tenant bring their preferred engine (Snowflake, Spark, DuckDB, etc). It also addresses d

DuckDB can read/write SQLite files via extension. So you can do that now with DuckDB as is. https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/sqlite

Yeah exactly. Wouldn't it be easier to make it self reported but use a mechanism to incentivize accurate market prices. Like enforce that the owner can't sell for more than x% the reported amount and rents are capped based on the

You need a viable Proof of Human/Personhood system and afaik one does not yet exist.

I agree with your take here. I have a partner that anyone in this thread would label as a #1 but my two siblings are essentially on the same plane of intimacy. If my partner left my life for whatever reason, I'd still have my siblings

I agree with your premise but ultimately its the responsibility of governments to manage how society distributes what is produced. In the US at least, it seems most of the tension here comes from the fact that we've decided that if you

Can we get any of Iceberg/Delta/Hudi that isn't terribly complex to setup? Like configurable completely from Standard SQL via the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE syntax.

100% agree.

I partake in this trade. There are other DeFi markets than Aave with better rates (6% to 9% range) for borrowing Tether. I also don't only use one market or one chain to hedge a bit smart contract risk. I also didn't sell Tether a

Doing the exact same for some side projects. It's been a delight.

I agree an employee should be cautious for the exact risks you outlined but I don't know if I'd say this is a function of any power dynamic. Employees should be saving such that they have 3 months of expenses saved away for this e

I agree with you but I think one thing that might help people fear this change less is reiterating that the density necessary isn't Manhattan or Downtown Chicago. There are a lot of ways to make an efficient urban area without being a

I see it as a combination of demographics (less millennials than boomers to drive consumption) and a lack of investment 20 to 30 years ago into next generation infrastructure and institutions (energy, transport, healthcare, education, etc)

just so we can be perfectly clear, is the point you are trying to defend, that the differences circumstances of black people in America as compared to Asians can be explained with work ethic?

by nlittlepoole 4y ago
Absolutely there is but the way that those outside the group make it seem is that we're 100% responsible for how the culture that exists got to where it is. The mainstream culture has problems but a lot of those problems are the result

> You’re describing why you believe it’s okay to discriminate against that Asian student because there’s “too many yellows, not enough blacks”. Not really. If intelligence is equal between races and a system is an actual meritocracy, the

Probably late posting here but going to post here to maybe offer some understanding to why it is people support policies like this. For the record, I'm not personally for it but there is a method to the madness. I'm black, take th

They aren't saying that. They are recognizing that many forms of power in society are zero sum. There are plenty of ways to get a great education but only one Harvard and a limited amount of power to be distributed via an institution l

Finally someone who gets it. It isn't impossible to do but you have to take into accoutn that it isn't realized. Imo the best way to do that is actually aggressive consumption taxes on the things that the wealthy primarily consume

Their influence largely comes from their ability to buy media timethrough PACs. Direct contributions to politicians is still highly regulated. You could argue that they can wield influence by threatning current politicans to fund the campai

No it wouldn't. You are understimating the number of westerners who quite prefer their standard of living and either don't care or have theological beliefs that allow them to not care about the consequences of their lifestyles. Th

Yeah but that's realistically not an option that is on the table. A decent part of the American electorate is not interested in that because honestly it doesn't benefit us directly. The choices today for most countries are the sam
