I finally switched from firefox to safari on iOS. The latest redesign was the last straw for me. Very frustrating how the look of the app keeps changing without any useful updates. "telemetry says..."

Multiple reasons, depending on your level of cynicism. Least cynical is that there were competing priorities in the general and the current President was (is) an overall distraction from any policy discussions. Most cynical is that Dems don't actually like winning because it gives them somebody to blame. Both are corporatist parties that don't generally work for the majority of people. But, like I said, that's the cynical take!

Pretty sure they're doing this to entice people to vote in the Georgia runoffs so Dems will control the Senate. "Vote for us and we can make this law."

We implemented a 90 day retention policy for all slack messages about a year ago. Everyone was pretty resistant to it at first, but it's been pretty great, honestly. It forces us to put things we'll want to remember in the handbook and encourages a more async culture. Personally I'd be happy with a 30 day retention policy!

I'm a little skeptical of this as well, but I think there is a path. At my previous company we would take in a lot of data from other companies and do analysis for them. If we had a really easy way to share the transformed and analyzed data after it's been modelled in the warehouse, that really would have been great. The question is, are you going to get companies to create a snowflake account just so they can access data in this way? Maybe if it's easy to export / do further analysis.

Sorry you had a bad experience with it. Certainly compared to redshift it's a dream. I use it every day and it's been great for us.

Ah good catch. I don't know then.

I had the exact same question. Pg 127 seems to give the answer.

> Date Available for Sale in the Public : The 91st day after the date of this prospectus (First Release).

Edit: Seems like I was wrong. This is for current shareholders. I saw somewhere on the internet sometime in October. That's a wild guess though.

Snowflake is the go to data warehouse in my opinion. Redshift and BigQuery are fine, but Snowflake is head and shoulders above. Good community around it and tools for it (dbt - works on other warehouse though). They have the mindshare in the data warehouse market.

There's so much they can do from a user experience perspective to make it even better. The integration with Numeracy was a trainwreck, but the fundamentals of the DB are there.

Interesting to see they lose so much money, but I bet their margins have to be so thin running on the cloud. I wonder if they'll ever have to go bare metal to make it work.

I recently saw youtube video on that called the cardboard box reform. It caught my eye because I hadn't heard anyone talking about it, but it really makes sense. I don't know how you sell less transparency to the public though.

Seconded! And you can build your own adapters for other databases as well.

Every time I see a post about Mongo it makes me wonder what could have been if RethinkDB was managed differently.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and have come to a similar conclusion. I've been very focused on technical skills lately, but in doing so I've started to lose some connections in my org and network. Career growth depends more on relationships than I'd like to admit.

Assuming the vendor doesn't claim that having + is invalid. I've seen that quite a lot.
