I switched to Firefox for Android after getting tired of ads that redirected to a landing page or Google Play and prevented me from actually using the site I wanted.

Good work! It definitely looks friendly, but I checked your site and I couldn't find a FAQ page. I believe your potential users will have questions around privacy, plans for support and expansion, and future monetization.

I haven't worked with Spark SQL specifically, but in my use case Presto returned results from simple queries much faster than Spark using EMR. For exploratory analysis, a quick turnaround is crucial.

Standard procedure for handling a complex system is "First, do no harm," not "Futz around and hope we come out on top." We know that climate change is disrupting biomes everywhere. Life will eventually adapt, but not bef

I'm surprised that Americans aren't pushing to make private and secure communication a constitutional right. Will it make it harder for law enforcement to go after "bad guys"? Yes. Just as the second, fourth, and fifth a

Some people also gain a lot from plague and war, but we still fight them. Climate change also doesn't just mean average temperatures are higher; when you put more energy into a system, it becomes more volatile. Climate change makes aty

I may not have phrased it well, but I wasn't implying that the original poster would have the same problems. I was just saying this change -- which I still think is fair -- may not be only upside for American customers and sellers, if

I'm of the opinion that it is best to err on the side of strictness. Once you make a reasonable exception, you open a precedent, and some people are very good at digging up and pointing out precedent.

The frustrating part is the logical leap: You are a man, men have historically occupied privileged positions, therefore you are privileged. A young man trying to find his first job without experience doesn't feel privileged, nor does o
