The market for a distributed database is fairly small.

My guess is 1 -2% of the overall DB market. -- very large companies , large data sets etc

It might be doing well but I doubt it is mainstream.

This is typical of any advanced technology.

Only the best and the smartest researchers will find work.

Those that went in chasing gold, will only find dust.

Time for hotels to save money by not putting TV in rooms ?

Does not seem to be a problem for Republicans.

The terminology is confusing.

Some have also used the term "strong consistency" for strict serializability.

S&P 500 has done so well the last 25 years.

Why bother investing in hedge funds or Crypto ?

Lived in Chicago and was a bears fan early nineties after the Ditka firing.

In 1994, Bears went 9-6 with 2nd string QB Walsh and it was an exciting season.

It is worse when the attempt to be family is fake.

I like a professional no nonsense business like approach from my managers.

The virus is that there are ~200 JS frameworks that a casual web developer much choose from, when ever they want to build a front end.

No other space in software engineering is as cluttered and chaotic as the JS based front end space.

Should not be a surprise.

Major cloud providers have better products for most of what cloudera offers.

cloudera was the "hadoop" company. "on-prem" is only open option.

At the point, these GenAI platforms are really good jumpstarts.

But by no means are they accurate.

So we need to be aware of that and apply our corrections.

Inspite of the inaccuracies, they are still super valuable.

We need to think about at it with on open mind.

What could have been done differently during the Obama presidency to ensure that the democratic party not go into the tailspin it did after him ?
