The evil of USSR did was because Russia was in charge.
Anecdote: I tested ClickHouse as possible replacement of Trino+DeltaLake+S3 for some of our use cases.
When querying a precomputed flat tables it was easily 10x to 100x faster. When running complex ETL to prepare those tables, I gave up when CTAS with six CTEs that takes Trino 30 seconds to compute on the fly turned into six intermediate tables that took 40 minutes to compute, and I wasn't even halfway done.
The tricky part is, how do you know whether your use case fits? But you have to ask this question about all the "specialized tools", including Pinot.
He is free to hate the West while living in it. He's not going to prison for it (unlike he would in the countries he likes, ironically). He's not getting deported from the West despite claiming to hate the West or anything.
But I am also free to call him out on it. I have the same freedom, no? Why would he have the freedom to insult me (and you, since you said "our western") but not us to insult him back?
He can call me a hypocrite for West not being perfect and not solving all the problems of the world, and I can call him hypocrite for hating the West and its values yet still living in here for want of luxury. Is it a useful conversation? Not really, honestly, but it is fair.
But more importantly, look up paradox of tolerance and philosophy following from it. You can tolerate a lot, but tolerating too much is suicidal, because the intolerant will eventually take over. This is a general principle - welcoming people in the West is fine, for example, welcoming people who hate the West and want to destroy it is not.
But you probably know all this, nothing you said was in good faith and and just come to HN to turn your hatred on random people.
Stop being a parasite and return to India if you hate Europe that much. But no, no, you people seem to hate the places you run off to but don't want to return. Same with Russians enjoying the "decadent gay West" while claiming they hate it and supporting Putin. Same with Turks living on German welfare while loving Erdogan.
Put your money where your mouth is and go back to India. Then you can complain.
That is why Turkey is not getting F-35s or even F-16s now. Why help arm your enemy?
The 1.0 version of Pinot seems to bring a lot of maturity, they seem to have added new engine that can do joins now. I'm not sure how stable it is, but it seems interesting.
As for what is this kind of database usedful for, this is for operational analytics on large data that also update in real time. In my domain that would be things like having insight into large supply chains or manufacturing operations, like power plants or factories, just in general for monitoring stuff. I know it's also used in security and finance (for fraud).
I get the drive for something open, but are we helping Chinese regime by giving them free stuff they will then use against us?
... does anyone have Alan Moore's phone number?
Not huge amount of energy, but not negligible either.

edit: I see someone else did the math as well.
I think you meant brave decision.
Maybe $199?
It would be very much Apple move to take something that wastes enormous amount of energy (given the number of people who have iPhones) and claim it is eco-friendly.
(1): I looked on Wikipedia for 30 seconds
Some people predicted that new iPhone will be completely portless and allow wireless charging only, just to not having to support USB-C out of spite.
I guess we'll need to wait a year or two more.
> As we go into winter, we'll switch to a tariff which does cheap overnight charging so we can arbitrage on cost.
Seems it really didn't. What is your plan for the new way of getting electricity in winter?
The thing is, there's always only certain amount of known reserves.
When there's not enough known reserves of something, the price will go up, and it is pretty lucrative to look for more, or even come up with new ways of getting that thing (see fracking).
When there's too much known reserves, the price will go down, and it might not be worth it to look for more, because not only you won't get as much money, but the people who currently own reserves will lose money as the price goes further down (for similar example, see landlords being NIMBYS because new housing lowers their property).
So yes, we do have 50 years of known reserves of Uranium on current consumption. But we also had 50 years or known reservers of it thirty years ago. Known reserves of stuff tend to keep around that number.
That of course does not mean that there is literally unlimited amount of minerals in Earth's crust - but we do have enough of stuff for quite a while, Earth is a pretty big planet.
Edit: that said I'm myself not convinced by "solar + grid scale batteries" strategy, I would rather see nuclear power and keep the batteries for cars.
Get a plate from US state that has no inspections? You need no inspections at all!
The European Commission selected the eUICC format for its in-vehicle emergency call service, known as eCall, in 2012.[23] All new car models in the EU must have one by 2018 to instantly connect the car to emergency services in case of an accident.[24]
I'd say they have been around since then.
edit: here is a great talk about how eSIMs work from last CCC https://media.ccc.de/v/camp2023-57190-demystifying_esim_tech...
