I am pretty sure that he has already turned his attentions elsewhere.

Note to self, if I ever get rich fight the urge to get into flying. I don't know the stats off hand, but the number of people that die in small plane crashes seems quite high.

So private aviation is 666% more dangerous than commercial (e.g. 0.0002 / 0.00003 = 6.66...) That is significant, but commercial is incredibly safe. I wonder what the death rate for flying yourself around, e.g. part-time pilots, is ve

Yeah. Calling it an illegal boycott is going too far. It is not even organized for the most part just a natural partisan reaction to extreme partisan behavior by the very prominent/vocal face of the company. This was 100% predictable

You are demonstrating exactly my point. If violence is normalized then it justifies more violence on both sides.

That is a minor one and probably only warrants a warning or a misdemeanour. There is significantly more serious actions going on and they are becoming more frequent: https://news.sky.com/story/tesla-charging-stations-se

I prefer non violent responses personally. I think boycotts are better than actually burning down places or vandalizing them. If you condone violence that often leads to a further reactionary breakdown in society, a downward spiral, where

Huh? This just reinforces what I said. He isn’t accused of distributing pro-Hams propaganda or saying he supports them. At best you have unsubstantiated claims on X that someone distributed some images at an event he was also at. That is

Okay, but on X/Twitter I regularly see people quoting this in a supportive fashion. So it isn't clear it is a joke.

> Publicly expressing sympathy for a declared terrorist group... Did he express sympathy for Hamas or killings of Israelis? From what I can tell he didn't and I don't see any accusations of that in the media.

Huh? What you do mean by this? Are you advocating for less empathy? Towards whom?

I heard about this today, things are weird in the US as this guy has a green card but it was being revoked for speech the government didn't like and apparently not anything criminal: https://x.com/TheFIREorg/status

I am experiencing massive productivity boost with my home grown open source agentic coder, especially since I added a GitHub mode to it this week. I write about that here: https://benhouston3d.com/blog/github-mode-for-

On billions of records my query costs were generally less than a cent. But I partitioned and clustered on the key fields.

I will investigate Clickhouse. It is probably an even better solution that BigQuery when you have a lot of data and have a lot of queries.

by bhouston 2y ago
I guess I liked the convenience with Bigquery of being able to do significant queries in a second or two on large data sets. It means I can do the query live for the user as they navigate the analytics dashboard and this simplifies design

by bhouston 2y ago
Real time means a user can load a web page and see a query results without significant wait. So less than a few seconds.

I love Postgres and use it a lot but not for analytics.

Just to be clear, standard SQL databases are not great for large-scale analytics. I know from first hand experience and a lot of pain. We tried using Postgres with large analytics at my previous company https://threekit.com but

(More examples are here and I think the styling bug isn't affecting this page: https://docs.mycoder.ai/docs/examples/ I will look into the bug you ran into.)

Makes a lot of sense. In writing my open-source agentic coder ( https://mycoder.ai ), I find Claude is head and shoulders above the rest. I wish I could invest.
