It's not clear what the value add of this is vs OSS DIY Spark + Iceberg? Free option is already available through OSS Spark/super low cost EMR. What's your value add over those?

Yes. And there is a small possibility that something even worse happens for those previously infected/vaccinated called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize

I don’t understand what capability you are saying Databricks lacks. This capability is literally the entire premise of the Data Lakehouse. With Snowflake you need to export data out/or pipe data over jdbc/odbc to an external tool.

Here is the thing with the lakehouse though, you have flexibility and don’t need to use multiple engines to achieve the lakehouse vision. Databricks has all the security features a redshift / snowflake does so you can secure databases

Spark/Databricks + Delta lake would be a good solution for combining streaming and batch analytics. MemSQL is good for low latency streaming.

Seems like a straightforward case for small claims court against KitSplit. You just have to sell the judge on a very straightforward case. The thing about not getting fucked over in situations like this is having the intestinal fortitude t

Globalization is the cause of inequality. Technology just facilitates it. Capitalism leads to a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and periods of globalization have resulted in high levels of inequality. Inequality today is co

"Talented tech followers in the process who are willing to work for him in exchange for prestige and a lower salary" To be fair these engineers are taking a lower salary but are getting paid really well in terms of stock options.
