In case it wasn’t obvious (with overwhelming probability) he received a tiny tiny fraction of the headline 250M number. Those initial lawsuit magnitude numbers have little to no relationship with what numbers settlements happen with.

I don’t really understand this, doesn’t YC strongly encourage investors, to the point of punishing those who violate, to wait until Demo Day? That way they get to build good market conditions for raising.

One of the aspects related to an unacknowledged managerial role with chores, is that I find it often comes with caring about the outcome more strongly or more specifically than others. Expecting everyone to care about your hobby horse as m

You can see some related but not directly comparable efforts in HuDI see https://eng.uber.com/uber-big-data-platform/ Or https://iceberg.apache.org/ Which both keep track of data versioning and manage

I don’t think Amundsen is comparable. Amundsen is essentially a data catalog that has ambition to get into master data management. Delta here is adding features more closely associated with RDBMS or MPP data warehouses to the Spark data pip

The Delta here isn’t so related to CDC. This is a replacement for the ad how methods people use now to keep multiple readers and writers of datasets in parquet format in agreement when using Spark’s dataframe API.

A refrain that is very true in NYC. It is a bit off-putting (and just wrong) to read the author talk about white male privilege being a comparable head start to her half a million dollars of family money she’s received. (And 28,000/yr

This motivated me to reread the commons clause again. I remain so disappointed in the naming and positioning of it. If you want to sell commercial modules that is totaly fine, but Apache 2 with commons doesn’t jump off the page as an unfree

I assume Azure and AWS have some buddying up with Intel/Nervana and Nvidia counterstroke to Google TPUs. I can’t quite imagine what it will be though.

It takes around 20 minutes to spin up HDInsight clusters. So it is not instant but I wonder if databricks on Azure can do any better given they are running in customer environments so wont have a big pool of preallocated multitenant machine

It would help if you scoped your request to the parts of the stack you are looking at help with. For instance if you are interested in soup to nuts sensors in the field to predictive maintenance software in the cloud, is very different set
