I think you need to ask the big question: if this person were unconnected with your existing co-founder would you add her as a new co-founder? That includes deciding whether you are comfortable working with her long-term. If not, there&#x27

Thank you for the post. One question: do you think that ClickHouse is a good database for solving this problem? ClickHouse does not guarantee ACID properties like isolation or consistency at levels above input blocks. It also uses eventuall

Maybe, but Slootman is genuinely good at running this type of company and pushes people to do outstanding work. I've met a number of Snowflake people and they were uniformly excellent. The company knows how to hire well. That's so

It seems very meta that businesses to wind down startups are also startups. It's turtles all the way down.

My experience with Superset was the opposite. It's easy to install using containers. You can have it up and running and connected to ClickHouse in a few minutes. I also found the internal design pretty intuitive--the SQL query lab is m

Given the long, well-documented history of US government shenanigans [0, 1, 2], I would hope for a more thoughtful response to GP's comment. You would have to be somewhat naive to dismiss such claims. Or perhaps I misunderstood your co

What you describe gets far closer to why moderation is tricky. The interesting question--to me at least--is whether some subset of people can apply such reasoning consistently. Danluu is arguing that because a set of randomly chosen people

Not responding is also an action. Just assuming it's safe to ignore a C&D without understanding possible risks would not be my first choice. For instance it would be helpful to know if you need to seek out additional legal counsel
