This sounds a lot like Codd's framing of the relational model "problem" in his 1970 ACM paper. [0] His solution was to decouple logical from physical access. That framing and the solution still seem correct to me for the data

Correct. As I recall ClickHouse ASOF joins drew direct inspiration from this feature in Kdb+ and were in fact implemented by an engineer with a background in financial apps.

For many normal people, having a case broaght against you is soul destroying. Yes you might get off but you have legal expenses, stress of not knowing what's going to happen, you may be unable to work at your job in the meantime. Just

How exactly do you "end" the contract? Part of the deal with contracts is you don't just get to back out whenever you feel like it. Seems as though Chicago would be better off tying pensions for politicions to city financial

This sounds great but you still need tanks, humvees, missiles, artillery shells, anti-rocket systems, helicopters, etc. to fight wars. (Lots of them, too.) Adding drones does not address that need any more than the introduction of breech-lo

If they are binding why not add them to the license? Rights for GPLv2, Apache 2.0, etc., are defined in one place. That's one of the main strengths of those agreements.

The reason is that Snowflake charges close to cost for object storage and they compress your data when they put it in. However...that means they need to make it up elsewhere. When you do get around to running queries the markup on compute c

The car example in the article is exactly backwards. Snowflake is the Toyota Camry. It's a mass market solution that fits a lot of basic use cases. Readers are conflating the licensing cost of Snowflake with total cost of ownership,

Wow. The new passport is a work of art. I'm sure many of the extra features are to help prevent counterfeiting, but they've been executed beautifully.

Nice summary. Overall the license change will be a negative simply because of the uncertainty that the Hashicorp license change introduces. This to me is the most pernicious effect of licenses like SSPL and BSL.
