You should really get into a habit of disclosing your biases, as you seem to make an appearance in every DuckDB related thread with the same comments:) (Head of Produck and Co-founder at MotherDuck)

For compute specifically MotherDuck is a scale-up, not scale-out system [0] Storage is naturally distributed due to underlying IaaS. Rather, that seems to be an implementation detail. What use cases are relevant is the key. Are we chasing b

We at MotherDuck are doing this! While we're running vanilla duckdb, our extension does sopen heart surgery on some of the components, to make it suitable for a multi tenant serverless cloud service. (Co-founder and head of produck at

I think we are much more than an analytics tool, but we don't yet have all the bells and whistles of the modern CDW. We think of ourselves as a new type of data warehouse - some things are different, but many things are the same. We ac

Head of produck and co-founder at MotherDuck here. Happy to answer any questions! One minor correction on the title. While we're partners with DuckDB, and they're shareholders in MotherDuck, it is MotherDuck who raised the money,

I am not sure I agree with your assessment. Last time I was in a FSD Tesla, it repeatedly tried to run red lights and didn't know how to merge lanes on a freeway...

don't disagree with what you said, but your Google Trends argument has a big asterisk against it - right in the page it says "This comparison contains both Search terms and Topics, which are measured differently. LEARN MORE"

We at MotherDuck are huge supporters of DuckDB, and it's not a big secret that we're working on a managed DuckDB offering. Feel free to give us a ping to chat :)

One of the major reasons we bet big on DuckDb at MotherDuck is due to the extendable nature of the code base, as demonstrated by the frequency of major improvements and additions.

I don't understand how this is possible. I recently rode in a Tesla with FSD engaged. In a span of 10 minutes it tried to run a red light, failed to change lanes, and failed to get off the freeway offramp. These were all vanilla scenar

My (Zwift) gaming PC is on Windows. The contrast to my work/hobby OSX is jarring. I am constantly bombarded with ads with opt-out tricks. It feels unclean to say the least. The worst OSX gets is trying to get me to agree to iTunes ToS

DuckDB is such a breath of fresh air! We at MotherDuck at working very closely with the DuckDB folks to build a DuckDB-based cloud service. I'm talking to various folks in the industry about the details in 1:1. Feel free to reach out t

You must have missed the point. If the goal is to reduce abortions, then the pro-life strategy is less effective than pro-choice.

Are you aware that a secular scientific approach to sexual health results in far fewer abortions? Chiefly proper sex education and freely available contraceptives to minors.

You're making a lot of assertions I am not sure I agree with: > Data lakes are better for ML / AI workloads, cheaper, more flexible, and separate compute from storage. With a data warehouse, you need to share compute with other

It would be good if you labeled your posts so as to reveal your bias. I understand why folks want options. At the end of the day, folks want an easy to use, ALWAYS CORRECT stable database, with minimal well-documented predictable knobs, cor

So what do you see it as then? How would you characterize storming a government building with intent to maim (hang?) and being equipped to do so?
