It's bad if the makeup of the company doesn't reflect the diversity seen in the marketing, because it doesn't reflect any genuine value and is just for show. Now, I don't know how diverse the AI workforce is at Google, b

Fine, let's just do it on those that scale. Not all science is done in high-end, expensive labs, and this type of control will help the young researchers who are publishing their first works to gain more credibility and develop healthy

Not if your local meat is fed with imported foods such as soy from South America, (which accounts roughly to 90% of soys fed to livestocks in the EU), and which is one of the biggest cause of deforestation.

The question is who decided this payout structure? Is it Spotify (I clearly don't know why they would care any other way) or the big artists (I can see why they would want to be paid more as a condition of their presence on the platfor

Their current split favors big artists. 90% of the music I listen to is jazz and classic, and if I was on Spotify (I use Qobuz instead), 90% of my subscription (minus Spotify's share) wouldn't go to these artists, instead most of

This was a solution to the UUIDv7 problem of being time-dependend and therefore may leak information. Create the UUIDv7 in advance by batch of 10,000, use these randomly, and you fix that problem.

You don't store the UUIDs in the database as incomplete records. You can put them in a unused_uuids table and store some of the values in memory to minimize the round-trip. You can even store them in a simple file, and remove each used

Don't create them each time a record is created, create a batch in advance in sufficient number, and do the same every time the previous batch has ran out. UUIDv7 is 128 bits, you can store a large number of them without major penalty.
