Why are drinks more expensive at a stadium or in a 20 oz bottle at a gas station? A mix of captive audience, no other options, and convenience (sprinkle in business travel/expensing).

I might be in the minority, I liked Redfin as a broker / NAR competitor. Seeing houses was super easy, lower fees, etc. I'm well aware of tradeoffs in the industry and connections.

It really, really, realllllyyyy, depends on how you setup your prefix/"folder" structure and the underlying file format. Though that's almost certainly true here.

Well I'm trying to find it now! Maybe it has been updated. It was essentially a case statement on the destinations which went for some wide data types but, looking now, I see where it is looking at the schemas and getting more precisio

Yeah the Debezium connectors have some issues that really get in the way. I'm less familiar with BQ but some other DBs, the data typing is really, really basic (case when string then varchar(4000/max)) and similar. It looks like a

Not every "classic" car looked good and not every current car looks bad. Just with Chevy models during the muscle car era you had the Greebrier, Vega, or 4 door models of Nova/Chevelle.

This has been going on for a while, comments like this and the recent Tennessean article/debacle are a bit eye opening to the naivety of technology and accomplishments outside of major hubs.

Metadata Tools and scripts can work off of it, design decisions are documented, suggestions can be made, inferences can be made (some dangerous, some not). Why tag S3 objects if it doesn't enforce a schema? Maybe a bad analogue but I&#

Any chance you have an overview of the architecture and operations support required? How many data sources are you pinging?

That's not how most banks work, you may have been at one that had the person with authority but transfers over certain amounts ($1M around here) require multiple reviews and certain people. You can do it in a day (and regularly do for

Withdrawal limits? Sometimes it does seem like they are re-inventing banking.

It is also called Table Elimination if you want a google-able term.

I have no idea what is going to happen (like everyone else), what I think is going to happen is that we'll get some more innovation and cool companies/products. As layoffs or attrition happen, a subset of those people are going to

It still sounds insane to me, I've made an assumption anyone with a $1M home (or above) is either carrying much less via down payment or is in the $4-500k / yr range. Most responses on an assumption that, inflation adjusted, housi

Am I so out of touch that this sounds insane? Mortgages are leverage and that's a whole lot of it.

A bit more nuance I'd throw on it is to a Data Architect. While databases are a primary storage system, knowing data modeling / systems in general is beneficial and leads to a broader role / career.

I guess it is this site but I always see SF Bay Area mentioned, everyone knows it is an outlier. Guess there's a lot of other cities in similar positions.

I'm guessing that is location dependent, though it has changed recently, many people I've known (admittedly college educated or further, corporate tech) have been homeowners since their early-mid 20s. (millenial)

Many of the cash buyers are either proxies (Ribbon, etc) or turn right around and get a mortgage. One of the touted benefits of real estate is enhanced leverage with equity as the collateral. "Cash" on an offer is more of a waiver

The second one (but in theory it is still that same purchasing power since it is keeping with inflation). There's some rules on if you cash out before 5 years (you give up the last 3 months of interest) and you MUST hold for 12 months.

Exactly what I was thinking, it really is crazy nice for development over SSH or within a container. The Live additions are neat for sharing as well though I've only dabbled in it.

There are plenty of houses that lose money, even in super nice locations, not factoring in maintenance / not tracking inflation.

Every housing thread seems to be people wanting to discuss their locality first, anecdotes second, and then a diceroll for the rest.

Just poking around online it seems 5% isn't uncommon, some higher, some lower and it has happen relatively quickly. I'm not surprised if people who have a locked in rate are just eating the cost of outbidding to win. Bankrate says

No offense, a statement like that (and the OP) without factoring in location means nothing. There are definitely 100k lots in places people want to live, some of them are pretty big. While everyone may not want to live there, there will be
