So, ironically, corruption reduction efforts can raise a country's rank on such lists.

The throughput & latency charts have JDK8 pegged at 100%. Since that's meaningless and the value is in the difference between the JDK versions, it should be represented as a delta.

How does it compare to psycopg2? I've been using psycopg2 for the db calls and then loading the results in to a dataframe if necessary. Separation of concerns.

Correct that we call it hard cider if it's fermented. For non-fermented, we draw a distinction between apple juice and cider. Best explained by Flanders: https://youtu.be/L1BfF77Pvio?t=15

There is also applejack, which is apple brandy, but named differently because it used to be made differently. Instead of using a still, they'd leave it out in the winter. Ice would form on the top, which would get tossed away, and the
