   Sure, in the beginning but it also proved the Republican point that you can't handle an unrestricted amount of immigration, even in large cities which also goes in favour of immigration restrictions (and of course not total immigration

   I am living in Europe, always have and you should look at the studies made in Denmark and Germany to find out how this went down.

   Careful, the "doctors and lawyers" mantra was already tried in Europe since 2015 and failed miserably.

   Although I agree that news media quality is not always great (really depends from one publisher to another), I would not really qualify random people on Twitter as "news coverage".

    Users also don't want to pay to access content. So I guess that both the user and the site can't get what they want and we should scrap the internet.

    I'm not trying to sound dismissive or overly critical, but in what way is a $1000, GPU-less computer with 32GBs of RAM considered a "mini-PC"? The price point seems insane too high to be considered "mini" imo.

    They understand it very well and they don't care that it is basically steeling. The only reason they pulled the tool is that the trademark holder for the designer is a top dog compared to them.

    Had some discussions about the infamous corporate corruption trials that the US wages against foreign (mostly EU based) companies. People here assured me that the US justice system was not leaning heavily on these companies because they wer

    Wouldn't this require Chrome to download models on the fly or pre-package multiple models? That doesn't really seem possible (mobile data connection) or convenient (Chrome binary size, disk space) for the user.

    This only covers very simple min / max / sum cases. For all others you'll need to download all columns you are filtering or selecting.

    They haven't solved the "not sourcing wood illegally from Romanian primordial forests" yet though. Baby steps.

    Thanks for the benchmarks! :) Indeed, 14GB seems really high for a 400MB Parquet file, that's a 35x multiple on the base file size. Of course, the data is compressed on disk, but even the uncompressed data isn't that large so I be

    I know I'm repeating my self (it must be my third comment on HN about this topic), but this does not match my experience at all. DuckDB will error-out with an out-of-memory exception in very simple DISTINCT ON / GROUP BY queries.

    It refutes the claim in the sense that employees leave at about the optimum time (close to two years) as per the study.

    This does not match my experience where the average retention duration for employees across all the companies I've worked for or have known has bee around 2.5 to 3 years.
