Very interesting. Document redaction is definitely a great use case. Gotta check this out

Is it just me or the fact that Dagster has one of their competitors Mage.ai listed here as a repo with around 15% of fake stars seems like an odd coincidence?

oh man, i'm in my 30s and this is exactly how my daily life is. I grew up in a culture that didn't have much of an inclination of understanding what ADHD is and stuff, so I never bothered. I really need to get myself checked.

definitely agree to this. And one segment that they could (should) definitely get customers are those who use ArcGIS. As someone who previously worked in oil & gas, the tax that these companies pay to Arc for all their mapping data is just crazy. I've always wondered why there isn't a solid tech company that could build a product that could take over Arc's business. Looking forward to Felt!

Having grown up in the United Arab Emirates in the 90s, I've personally seen the growth of NMC / UAE Exchange along with other firms (GEMS Education Group, the Lulu Group, Danube etc.) that are giant corporate entities. This story arc isn't going to be the last of what we see from firms that saw such growth. One of the biggest hurdles with such firms listing in public stock markets internationally is the lack of corporate accountability / governance in their home markets. As much as I'd hate to say it, building and growing companies in tax havens such as Dubai helps them only to develop corporate cultures to brush off problems under the rug that come to bite them later. Because they don't have to pay taxes, there isn't a government entity they need to be held accountable to. One of the few reasons where having an income / corporate tax system might just help public shareholders. As always, this is all anecdotal.

hah! but this is a very interesting area. You're right on the auto-summarizing issue becoming a problem these days with the usage of larger datasets. Data versioning also is starting to become a larger problem and I saw that you guys already have addressed it in your enterprise product. Hoping to see some sort of API-like version for comparison of data troves from different timelines in the future.

very cool product! I've worked on much smaller datasets with pandas and their inbuilt profiling report method can slow things down to a crawl!. Hoping to see more from you guys :)

The irony here is amazing. Woz built the Apple I while being employed by HP and now Apple making sure that doesn't happen again.
