i.e. The government is reducing taxes and reducing services. That's precisely WHY some people like Finland. The government is stepping out of the way (as we can see in this article)

I say unlimited because concurrent reads were basically a non-issue for Snowflake. You could have as many users reading from the same table as you wanted. Meanwhile "Redshift enforces a query concurrency limit of 15 on a cluster."

If I remember correctly, Redshift became more cost-effective over Snowflake the larger your compute got. Snowflake would just run an EC2 instance in the background for compute, and the very largest EC2 instances were more expensive to run t

Amazon Redshift has some architectural problems in an enterprise environment that Snowflake solves. Redshift does not scale up well - everything has to fit on one cluster and eventually you hit limits. When a Redshift cluster gets too big:

Most economics agree that cutting the corporate tax cut would have a good economic effect. If you doubt that it does, realize that you are in the academic minority.

$15 is indefensible. Why is the answer "screw the poor"? Why screw the middle class? Is paying 15$ every time you drive somewhere sustainable for you? If it is, then your not middle class - your rich

Theres little-to-no traffic and land is cheap, public transit isn't needed. The population density is probably higher on average in New Jersey than in metro Raleigh..

Mass transit is NOT needed. Flat land without rivers blocking flow of traffic is all thats needed

If people are victimized then why does the money from the fine go to the government? I would prefer receiving a $50 check in the mail from a class action lawsuit. All this does is add more money to gov't coffers

This is good news. At the moment, universities are the primary gatekeepers to becoming a citizen in the U.S. Right now universities are capturing nearly 100% of the "citizenship cost" that immigrants pay start their path to becomi

Maybe you should focus on not falling too far behind Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden first. I don't think I've ever heard of a Danish tech company. Even tiny Iceland has EVE Online.

Two things you get wrong: 1. It's actually an EXTRA $100 billion per year - "Because our doctors are paid, on average, more than $250,000 a year (even after malpractice insurance and other expenses), and more than 900,000 doctors

Fantastic news. I dropped Uber because of how they organize their business. My experience with Lyft in US cities has been fantastic. Uber could use some competition in Canada as well (outside of our generally terrible taxis).

Actually Texas has cheap, well-funded state schools. It is financially a well-managed state. Maybe you should switch to saying "That's Illinois" or "That's Chicago", they're the dysfunctional state now.
