The actual changes to the policy are removing the paragraph "You must contact us if you find that your service will require more than 1 million tokens. Services that require more than 1 million tokens may be subject to additional terms regarding Twitter API access." which for some reason was under the advertising section, and deleted the entire "Replicating the Twitter experience" section which you can find e.g. on https://web.archive.org/web/20211019001715/https://developer...

I hope that this will help make Nitter.net more useful. It was constantly running into throttling issues, and it's unfortunately the best way to get access to valuable information that people, companies and government institutions lock behind the walls of Twitter's proprietary platform. The official web site has so many abusive patterns and is intentionally made unusable if you don't have an account (e.g. can't open images).
Its not ridiculous at all. This is the coming of age for a brand new data architecture.

One of the biggest FUDs for a data lake architecture is performance - and this benchmark should put that concern to rest.

Someone made a mistake. Correct it. Move on. Why so apologetic? I personally never apologize for an honest mistake. Humans make mistakes, I make mistakes, mistakes happen, and if it's not a big deal, then there's no need to apologize imo. Apologizing too often leads to a culture where failures are not embraced.

Wow thats terrible actually. I remember looking into how to get web components to work with forms and decided to put it off for a while. Didn't know Safari doesn't implement it yet. Is there a polyfill?
There was a time when Google was happy to stay out of politics and culture wars. The had few lobbyists and donated little. They were happy building a private surveillance apparatus. But the government, mostly democrats came calling and demanded action against whatever the hysteria de jour was. It was never about policing the internet. It was always about sucking funds out of Google. Then brainwashed graduates took positions at Google and here we are. The perfect mechanism for propaganda and thought control
Databricks is not known for the SQL/DW space. The original blog was focused on breaking the TPC-DS performance record and provide validation of the Lakehouse architecture. DB didn't ask for a war of words with Snowflake - SF dedicated a whole response stating DB lacked integrity and filled it with false and misleading information. I commend DB for responding back (only because of the integrity accusations). Snowflake has asked for this response by acting petty from the outset
Before the Snowflake blog post, I did not know what Snowflake or Databricks were. I can only imagine that this rivalry is great for both of them, even if Databricks is somewhat on the advantage end, at least from a tactical standpoint; I admit though that they seem to be a bit unnecessarily defensive considering the position they're in with the exchange.

In general though, I'm still not complaining. It's interesting to see a dispute like this unfold.

> Maybe I'll just point others to this discussion about whether lockdowns are a scientific response to the pandemic or not, from March 2020

Here's the problem: this is a bunch of random people talking in an informal setting. None of them appear to be policymakers in the US.

Googling for random shit isn't research.

> Otherwise, I'll just say that I think we both want to end the pandemic, right?

Yes.

> Surely we're both interested in having a free and open society as well? What made you stop believing in that? Trumpers? I didn't know they were so powerful and evil.

Big leap here. Yes, a free and open society is important and your assumption that I don't agree with that because I don't agree with _you_ is asinine.

A free and open society doesn't mean ignoring all sense of personal and collective responsibility and it _especially_ doesn't mean that you'll never be told what to do. Sometimes, that's just how it has to be especially when anyone can convince themselves of anything just by googling what they already believe to be true.

> Are they making it illegal to work from home without a vaccine pass? Or is that you?

Not me, but I have no problem with a public health mandate. There are too many people convinced that _they know better_ because they spent a few minutes googling shit. FWIW, the vaccine mandate does have exceptions for people who do not come into close contact with other people (wfh, exclusively outdoors, or similar).

> By the way, didn't the supreme court just pause the vaccine mandates precisely because of what I said about coercion and side-stepping established laws?

No. A fifth circuit judge appointed by trump kept the stay in place. That's not the supreme court.

OSHA (by the letter of the law) has the power to institute these measures because they were granted this power by Congress (granted by the constitution).
The fact is most people don't want to know about things that conflict with their world view. I don't think what the media is doing is intentionally malicious, they just need to perpetuate a specific world view to keep their viewers.

The piece just seems to fully encapsulate Silicon Valley Hubris. It's amazing that he thinks he's settled a debate on 'quality' or 'taste' with a logical argument, and that people consider this an 'objective' answer to the question.

The rhetorical trick is one that many have pointed out: 'technically' superior is - in fact - easy to recognize. That doesn't mean that objective judgment of technique is synonymous with taste.

"Taste" in that sense becomes something more about having a pulse on how humans will ingest certain ideas. You can have an intuitive understanding of this in a given time and space (creatives get paid a great deal to do this). But that has nothing to do with 'taste' as an objective quality metric, it has to do with how humans will perceive or interact with an object.

Redshift is pretty terrible, stay away. AWS is even worse at delivering promises than Databricks and that's saying something.

I heard Google BigQuery is good. It is completely SaaS (like AWS Athena that works).

Unicorns often run their own stack and you could replicate that, if you have the apetite. Netflix and Apple run Trino + Spark on k8s + Iceberg. Uber used their own Hudi thing, not sure if they still do.
Advertisers paying the TV companies don't want to compete with advertisers paying the stadiums. So they compromise; the ads in the stadiums are on the big screens, which the TV cameras don't focus on.

Everybody in America gets pumped full of ads unless they really go out of their way to avoid it. Here is how I do it: No TV. No live sports, concerts, and I don't go to movie theaters. I live in a town restricts billboards (though this remains the chink in my anti-ad armor.) And of course the usual ublock origin,etc setup on my computer. I know it's working when people tell me about watching new movies I've never heard of. (If something gets enough recommendations from people I know, I might give it a try. The grapevine is a great crap filter.)
> The majority of countries with these socialized services have suffered from the corruption, bureaucracy, and taxation innate with government control.

I can only think of one notable exception on that front, that being Norway with it's oil resources.

How exactly do you define "homogenous population" and why do you think "needs and opinions" are inherent to certain types of "population", which you apparently seem to use as a synonym for race?
The irony here is that what Databricks is doing to Snowflake is exactly what Snowflake did to AWS and Redshift.

Same playbook - show that you’re better in a key metric that’s easy to understand (performance) to get the attention, but then pitch the paradigm change.

In Snowflake’s case, that was separation of storage and compute.

In Databrick’s case, it’s the Lakehouse Architecture.

I think the reason why Snowflake is so nervous because they know they can’t win this game.

He proposes placing a value's vtable pointer in the memory word before the value's base address. Now you can pass the value around to APIs that expect, say, a C-struct. But the vtable is "secretly" attached to it so you can call methods on it from your language implementation.
Part of it is vanity. Part of it is the feeling that I'll have to defend my lack of credentials for the rest of my career, and that it's ultimately going to hold me back. And maybe part of it is the idea that there are some things I'll never properly learn without taking significant time off work to do focused study.

But more than a few commenters here are saying that demonstrating ability is more important than pedigree. Perhaps I just need to get over the mental hump of obsessing over credentials.
I'm against it. Why give people less responsibility and less freedom, as they get smarter and more educated. And why revert to a more costly and inefficient public sector to achieve this. Seems like moving in the absolute wrong direction to me. Socialism and "free stuff" is something that I'm absolutely against in every way. And people have full control over having children. I see no point whatsoever in having paid parental leave, what's the reason why? "it's nice"?

Yes. The way most RO filters are designed, they waste a lot of water, because of all the pressure the tank imposes. Specifically, as the tank becomes full, it takes more and more water to go against the backpressure.

I use Brondell Circle RO which developed a different design that wastes less water. Much less water. They wrote an interesting white paper about it. You don't have to read the whole thing. Just look at the graph on page 5 to see how efficient this system is: https://www.brondell.com/media/wysiwyg/water-filters/circle-...

It's by far the best designed filter I've ever used. Changing the filters is so simple because of the lack of high water pressure. Previously water would spill everywhere and tightening and loosening the filters was such a nightmare. Like an mini-explosion.

It's also less susceptible to structural breakdowns (water will bore through any material over the span of months. It's how my old system failed).

Nobody has really innovated on the RO design as well as they have. It stayed stagnant for a number of years and it was something I complained about constantly.

For example, one of the other innovations they've done (that most other companies don't automatically do) is automatic flushing so the RO filter last longer. You can install this on old RO systems, but normally, you have to do it manually.

Other companies have also tried building a tankless version of the RO system, but the problem they ran into is as the water empties, there's less pressure, so the water dribbles out. Brondell built a flexible reservoir so the pressure always stays constant.

It's a beautiful piece of engineering and I wish more people heard about this company.

I believe that is saying understanding ECC function details makes it easier to exploit EEC devices, not that it will be easier than exploiting non-ECC devices.

The ECC code word is bigger so it is a larger target, but you have to flip multiple bits to cause pain. If you have 2 bit detect, you need to flip three bits to get something that corrects to a different value.
What I find hilarious is that companies argue who can query 100 TB faster and try to sell this to people. I've been on the receiving end of offers by both of the companies in question and used both platforms (and sadly migrated some data jobs to them).

While they can crunch large datasets, they are laughably slow for the datasets most people have. So while I did propose we use these solutions for our big-ish data projects, management kept pushing for us to migrate our tiny datasets (tens of gigabytes or smaller) and the perf expectedly tanked compared to our other solutions (Postgres, Redshift, pandas etc.), never mind the immense costs to migrate everything and train everyone up.

Yes, these are very good products. But PLEASE, for the love of god, don't migrate to them unless you know you need them (and by 'need' I don't mean pimping your resume).

You're looking across widely different fields that are each impossible for anyone to master (despite the degree being called a Masters).

To use an analogy, even the GOAT Michael Jordan couldn't transfer his skills across sports.

You could pick anyone of those, spend an entire lifetime (or several) and barely make any impact.

If you want to develop expertise in any field, go right ahead. But the idea that a PhD (or anything) would allow you to master multiple tech disciplines is a pipe dream.

Google search turns up lots of results for "cola syrup"
Here's the reality. The reason why home prices have increased in a short time is simply, supply and demand. The supply issue has been caused primarily because of the moratorium on foreclosures. Additionally, in my opinion, there's one other item that's been overlooked by most economists, and that's the increased usage of an escalation clause.

For the most part, there haven't been foreclosures for almost two years. The timeline to allow foreclosures have been delayed multiple times. Once they turn that faucet on, the supply issue will virtually dissipate overnight, and not to be pessimistic, but, overnight we could see a collapse in the real estate market that would make 2008 look like a little annoying gnat. It does appear they will start the foreclosure process in phases, and in short, starting with those that have ignored their bank.

With the 2022 midterms, it wouldn't surprise me if they continue to delay the foreclosure process and have support from both sides of the aisle, because no one running for re-election wants a depression before an election; IMHO. This could simply be another regulatory delay, it could come as a two-week shutdown after Christmas to give a political reason for another delay, or some other cause; just throwing ideas out.

However, the most likely solution to an all-out real estate collapse is the Federal Reserve using one of its tools. They could loan a large sum of the trillions they have available to large corporations at a low rate and encourage them in one way or another to purchase foreclosures at the current market price. For example, search "Blackrock Houston." The problem with this tool is that if it's executed like it was in the past, the corporations put the homes on the market and offer them as rent to own. And in mass, IMHO, this threatens the middle class. Off the top of my head, I believe the stats on those who end up purchasing a home from rent to own contract was somewhere in the mid to low 30% range.
