They will be, their mainframe business is still pretty central to all things banking related. And I'm pretty airlines use them for critical services as well.

The power of spark is truthfully that it's really good at running sort + aggregate type queries on columnar stored data. Once you start needing to do complicated joins it becomes more about how you structure everything.

Strongly disagree that this will be as revolutionary as the iphone. The iphone, and smart phones as a platform were revolutionary largely because of how portable they are. This is much more comparable to a laptop than a phone, and it doesn&

Guess what, most if not all cars today have what's called an ECM which is essentially a computer that controls your engine among other things. It's certainly a very easy task to flash that ECM as long as your inside that car and c

This is by far the biggest improvement to java in the last few years and plays a big role as to why a lot of different types of backend tools still are written in JVM based languages rather than switching it up. This said, hotspot still has

I really hope to see the SIMD vector related improvements come through, I know there are some independent JDK code bases that have more evolved SIMD support, but for a lot of big data processing tools, switching away from jdk based language

I can't speak for right now, as I last worked on this stuff 8 or so years ago, but I briefly contributed to a DARPA robotics challenge team and simply working in ROS as a whole is an immensely difficult process to really get anything t

I think Salmon comes out just as good if not better in the air fryer than by cooking it in a pan, although you need to cut the filets to a very specific size.

Air fryers definitely are very different than ovens or pan frying, it's hard to explain, but it's definitely more comparable to frying in that it crisps up food by removing the water from the outside of stuff quickly. By this logi

The Grimaldi family has kept their wealth for 800+ years, longer if you count their time in Genoa prior to the existence of Monaco. European old money held through long standing urban land deads is incomparable to wealth made from industria

They're only paying this much severance because 90 percent of it is legally obligated by the state of California, where the vast majority of their employees work. 60 work days must be paid out, which is 12 weeks of work. So essentially

Adobe shouldn't be compared to Microsoft or Google, or hell even Salesforce, which are really good at integrating new companies into their existing suite of tools. Adobe is comparable to Oracle or IBM, where acquisitions mean the death

I have to disagree with that, snapchat was just as innovative if not more so in the early days of tiktok and musically in the space around camera filters and editing. There are two big things that make tiktok unique. The for you page, and s

That's not true, there's demand to live in a specific part of NYC. I really cannot stand that urbanists say this sort of thing. Demand isn't just for walkablity, it's for the complete new urbanist neighborhood that was f

I grew up in NYC and I think it has a lot of problems that have prevented me from moving back there since college, this said... NYC has the largest train system in the entire world, especially when you combine the various nearby train syste

It's a weird metric to say that late night nightlife is critical for being a global city, instead of say, huge percentages of the population coming from foreign countries. Airport access for direct flights, ect. Miami also meets every

If I could have a better apartment there I would absolutely consider moving there. The issue is that I'd have to live somewhere that would be considerably worse, and me and my partner make many times more than my parents did when they

I grew up in NYC and just completely disagree with your analysis here. There are a lot of hidden costs to live in NYC such as some of the highest income and sales taxes in the country, apartments where even if you own if a problem is found

Building single family homes is much cheaper in the US because of prefabrication. It's something like 3x less per square foot than a 5/1.

A huge percentage of the people living in NYC live in income restricted housing, it's in the millions of people.

I grew up in NYC and currently live in Seattle. The appeal of Seattle over NYC is the outdoors, substantially cheaper housing (you can get a 4br detatched house in seattle that's a 20 minute bus ride to downtown for less than this medi

As someone who grew up in NYC, the only lasting appeal to me is family and specific ethnic culture that is much less in every city in the US that isn't NYC. The apartment I grew up in, in lower manhattan, today would cost more than 20-

There's another type of PE out there beyond what you've described which is, the owner of a moderately sized privately owned firm (doing somewhere between 10-100 mil revenue a year) wants to retire and sell it off, and PE firms are

The state of California requires that Employees are paid for 60 work days (8 weeks) if there is a layoff at this scale. I assume that's where the majority of these employees are located. They're offering an extra month/month

Gifted programs, depending on where in the country they are located, are deeply related to equity. Things have gotten better over the past decade even without their total elimination, but for the majority of people who are of age to be post

I don't think Delta is meant to compete with Big Query, although it's been a long time since I've used Big Query, I recall upserts not being something you were able to do within BQ and that's essentially the main selling
