A different perspective is that tax policy is intended to also shape behavior. Raising taxes on behavior we want to disincentivize, and lowering it on behavior we want to incentivize. While I get the conceptual neatness argument, adhering to that undermines the ability to use tax policy as a tool of government.

One option is TiDB. It has support for columnar data alongside row based data. However, it is MySQL compatible, but not based on MySQL code so not quite what you asked for.

I had the same issue, decided to remove Roku instead…

I used to have a Roku TV, plus a a few of the standalone Roku Ultras for my other (non-Roku) TVs. I got a full page advert when I started up the TV one day and started the process of replacing them all (I think it is when Roku were experimenting with that).

Over about a year I replaced them with Apple TVs* and the user experience is far better, plus the amount of tracking domains reported by Pi-hole dropped precipitously! The TVs don't have internet access at all, they are just driven via the HDMI port now.

* I replaced the Ultras first, and when the Roku TV eventually started acting laggy on the apps I replaced the Roku TV as well.

When I used to work in credit control and accounts receivable, the use of D-U-N-S numbers was how we tied a lot of this information together. It is similar to how SSN are used by credit rating agencies but for businesses and global (unlike the EIN).

I am not sure what is going on with that screen, but the whole page seems to be "vibrating" in a very distracting way, never encountered that on another site before!

It appears to be related to my display settings on Mac OS. When the text size for the display is set to the "Larger text" it shows this vibrating. When the text size is set to one of the smaller sizes the shaking/vibrating does not appear.

To be fair, the LDS doctrine around the fruit from the Garden of Eden and the fall is quite different from the Catholic understanding, it’s seen as a necessary, even a good thing, in the overall plan.

Yes, corrected!

Yes, I am still getting up to speed after a long break for Christmas and New Year!

If autopilot is 10x safer then preventing its use would lead to more preventable deaths and injuries than allowing it.

I agree that it should be regulated and incidents thoroughly investigated, however letting perfect be the enemy of good leads to stagnation and lack of practical improvement and greater injury to the population as a whole.
