Well, I purposely pointed out the first link. Regarding the others, I think there are deeper historical, social, and religious issues that go beyond the racial problems in the US and I don't have any type of deeper insight on those.

I agree. Pure capitalism has some great benefits for entrepreneurial people, but for a whole society it can have some pretty negative bad effects.

What's more is that for any business degree at my uni, a "Business Ethics" course is required and at upper-levels an "Ethics and Compliance" course is required. However it is focused much more on not ripping off inv

I would say, maybe not switch over if you need something that has been rock-solid for years and years. If you want a shit-ton of built-in features DuckDB is pretty damn fast even with non-column store optimized queries. Surprisingly so! I h
