Question for ppl using DuckDB: are the use cases similar to what you'd use Apache Arrow, but with the benefit of working in SQL, or are they meaningfully different? I'm not currently using any of those, mind you, still on a pandas

I'd really like to see a serious analysis about the viability of a government, or an alliance of governments, to block / split the btc blockchain. I find it hard to believe the US couldn't really do it if it wanted to, or eve

Honest question from a nocoiner: are there communities, however small, that use meme coins as non ironic currencies? Like, can I rent a VPS for a month for 1000 doges or whatever from someone without any cross-currency conversion in between
