The setup of this experiment has a major flaw, the business card has only email address and in countries where email was never fully adopted like China or other, people would need to go extra miles to contact the wallet owner.
Re:Meta and Google are cutting staff on Wednesday September 21, 2022 @08:43PM (#32933515)
Google has more than 100k employee, at any given week I bet there are more than 100 people leaving. Letting go 50 people is barely layoff. Misleading title
Whether the virus came out of a lab or not, one thing is clear — we as a country can’t handle any pandemic. Till this day we still can’t get everyone wear a mask in public. (I have some people on FB working at tech industry with grad school education still think we should let the virus run its course, and mask is stupid)

Not to mention thousands of large social gatherings that happened way after the virus was already causing thousands of death.

If you can’t control other countries, maybe we should at least figure out how to improve our response?

What if some other virus comes out of nature next time when we have no one to blame?

We sort of made it a partial star schema, but not strictly. since random join can be expensive

The hadoop setup we have is actually EMR, and we use s3 for data storage, so for us Hive/Hadoop doesn't save much in terms of data loading. And once you have a process setup to load and update the data in Redshift, you don't have to reload everything
