Timescale "doesn't scale" - in a nutshell. Clikchouse performance is better because it's truly column oriented and it has powerful partitioning tools. However, Clickhouse has quirks and isn't great if you need low l

One data point: A couple of years ago, I went coffee-free for one month, just to see what it would do to me. Sucked. I like coffee for the sake of coffee. But was happy to see "I could do it". Could not observe any significant cha

More taxes. Less service. Everything is outrageously expensive. Middle class gets crushed. If you've wealthy, no point in having your main residence in NYC (see, more taxes). Will get worse before it gets better.

The flooding are also getting worse because the infrastructure isn't getting any better. Smokes were due to criminal behavior.
