On the other hand, I’ve seen things such as e.g. approaches which amount to caching, being put forward as ML for database performance optimisation. So there’s also quite a bit of in your face ML that is not even ML to counter the transparen

I can see the point around expensive row level security. Cannot see how it is harder to manage than to monitor though. Designing around risk acceptance of manual detective rather than preventative controls does not make this approach genera

That should be captured in security, right? I.e. if someone has access to data the assumption is they are able to read it. Security audit can be done without the grain of select statements but rather the grain of changes to provisioning. Fu

I think the point the gp was making was with regards to sanctions from private entities. My note here is that while the scale of private entities sanctions currently is novel, they themselves are not, e.g. boycotts have happened in the past

Not sure what you mean. The fact that in the last century or so wars have been having disproportionately high numbers of civilian casualties does not mean that this is acceptable. When is it necessary to kill civilians and what makes it a n

Panoptes would not be a bad name, even though, as you would imagine, it is already taken by a few different organisations.

Initially I was looking at this situation as a Napoleonic move, and it most probably still is. Nevertheless, to add some nuance to it, the situation, as it unfolds, plays to the core argument by Putin, in between the anti-nazi fusion with Z

I am that person too, only for a big (non-data) money driven company :-) So many resources that you can easily get lost. Martin Kleppmann's Designing Data Intensive applications can be your starting point. It helps you establish a basi

Good advice but the reality I usually experience is one where processes and policies go to die in a folder on a “portal” that no one even has access to anymore. Good processes become embedded in tools and follow the lifecycle of their host.

Smart people also don’t want to be spending their time assessing the risks of unknown situations. E.g. something I came upon recently when someone asked if they could work remotely from abroad for a while. Sure, from a technical contributio

Plenty non tech monopolies out there with more than 1bn revenue. Also distribution is not just relevant on the basis of data volume but also e.g. to accommodate variety of use cases. Don’t get me wrong, Postgres is a great tool but the mome

You may not have direct communication with the decision maker in such situations. The company that does the checks will just mark the exception and push to recruiter. Then depending on organisation a hiring manager may be making the final d

So that’s not about relative quality of poetry over time. It is about signal vs noise. Fundamentally this is a strategy of waiting for history to filter out the noise. With 1% you are taking a pretty low pass filter, though. In my experienc

Do you subscribe to any poetry publication? Poetry, New Yorker, three penny review and plenty other big and small publications have great contemporary poems. I would rather argue we are much worse in reading poetry now.

I got the Lenovo Duet chromebook for the little one and I was honestly impressed. For me, though, iPads have won me over even though I used to be a Surface fan.

Dump is the proper term in this case, though, given S3 limitations (I.e. no append to file) which means you need to either create new file for each insert (very expensive) or append replace file for update. So practically it’s a workable re

I think your last statement indicates how bad that feedback session reflects, not on you, but on the “boss”. On the one hand, we all have bad moments, that might have been theirs, which sounds pretty terrible though, especially in context o

It has tightened e.g. in HK and significantly so. With these things it’s not a matter of averaging oppression to judge the level. If a specific group of people, geographic area, etc. are being targeted you don’t really judge based on how th

As a customer, I don’t take it as an insult, we all can (as per gp) be dumb on occasion, without actually being dumb in general. On the other hand, the comment did not offer much assurance with regards to the topic at hand either.

Economics does not work with specific comparisons for me, I.e. not in comparisons between this and that person. In your theoretical comparison, both are able to contribute given the proper opportunities, as a country you have the resources

I am a little bit annoyed with the direction of your argument. To counter argue, it is obvious in this case that the value that you get from this “underclass” is more that the cheap labour, it’s also an educated young person with passion an

So you need to own a couple houses or businesses to be considered one who made it? I don’t have one of either, but I am somewhere where I feel I made it. Less of a safety net than if I owned a house of business, but then again those are too
