I know this isn't the answer, but I am happy to have a globally unique name. I was lucky to have not one but two uncommon surnames. (grandmother remarried, children got an extra surname). There are only a dozen people with that combina

What kind of DDL migration are you thinking about that would take 10+ hours? Adding a column is instant, even if your table is multiple TB's large. Same for dropping and renaming columns.

Why does the IRS publish the list of people renouncing citizenship? And why does it filter for people with global assets over $2M? I feel like I am missing something for this to make sense.

What would be the odds that other planets/habitats have a similar "tree of life"? I don't know. Given the huge number of similarities in DNA, I'd say it's extremely small.

What does "open finance" mean in this context? I have the same desire as OP to access my own data. I want to build a tool to track my assets. Maybe it's worth building this as open source. Would that be considered "open

I love the Capisco Hag "standing desk" chair. The desk stays in standing position and I hop on and off of the chair. It's a chair that encourages you to take new positions all the time. It works really well for me. It's

I once worked on a startup founded by lawyers and they would do this all the time. Never put things in writing that they might be flexible on later. I hated that part.

I hope this isn't intel trying to take away momentum from RISC-V by buying a big player and having them work on something else. I hope this marks a change in course for intel into other non-x86 architectures.
