submerge

Isn't that true of all games, and even for comments on this website? Sorry if I am just missing the sarcasm.

Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.

Maybe I haven't seen enough of his videos. They seem generally informative? Perhaps a bit depressing but I wouldn't say that watching a Tim Snyder video can ruin your life like gambling can.

Can you recommend a history lesson that will destroy my life in seconds? Book, podcast, youtube would all be acceptable formats.

That would be hearsay, yes?

I bet their data is included too, for two reasons:

First, identity verification data for KYC is a little bit different from fast food or social media in that it's very difficult to live a normal life without being subject to any KYC checks. (I'm sure someone will chime in that they get paid in bitcoin and buy their groceries with cash.) If you are applying for some financial product or service that requires KYC, and they can't find any information about you, you will often either be denied that product or have to jump through a bunch of additional hoops to prove who you are. So it benefits CXOs to have their data included in these datasets, in fact if they are well paid they may well have more activity requiring KYC checks than the average person.

Second, and much more simply, one's own data often makes for a good test case since you know its accuracy.

To turn it around, you should assume anyone in the dark alley is potentially dangerous, and not allow biases or racism to cause you to lower your guard to someone who may end up stabbing you.

You don't have to do anything. But as you say, they are the one in the position of power. If you are working on some side quest they don't see as valuable, it may not end well for you. Doubly so if you are shirking what they see as a high value task for your side quest.

It's not about what is right or who "should" do what, it's about securing the best outcome by making sure you and your manager have the same understanding, even if your manager isn't doing a good job of making sure you have the same understanding. (Also known as "managing upwards.")

Am I right to think this could be used to "inject" limits on the number of rows returned by a user query, or otherwise restrict what users see allowed to do?

I know it sounds silly/crazy but I have a use case where I would like to allow "mostly" trusted users to access the database directly and not through an API, but I need to apply some restrictions on their output.

This is great. Where can I learn more like this?

I am interested in distributed systems and database internals (both traditional and new databases) but find that many database resources tend to be either introductory SQL queries or related to tuning.

As someone who lacks a formal CS education and wants to know more about how databases work, I have been eagerly awaiting this book. I also want some practical golang projects to work on so this is perfect! I'm so excited!
