Accessing any given data once. When you have a total dataset size in the 10-100s of gigabytes range, having to download any significant fraction of it to do data processing is really unfortunate. But seriously what's up with this tot

“100 engineer’s” isn’t grammatically correct to begin with. You need either “100 engineers” or “100 engineers’”. The parent post assumed the former and you the latter.

The claim that a dataset with billions of users has only dozens of people able/interested in doing data processing on it is a damning admission that the format is too hard to deal with

Wait, the proposed solution to a data format being slow to parse is to work around the bad performance by caching the already parsed representation? That seems like it has a clear flaw if you’re only accessing the data once…

That’s talking about pollution in general rather than greenhouse gas emissions like the post I was responding to. When it comes to CO2, personal vehicles emit several times more carbon than the entire global shipping fleet.
