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.
There are also distributed databases that use RAFT but can still scale while delivering distributed consensus don’t is not a challenge that can’t be solved. For example, TiDB handles millions of QPS while delivering ACID transactions, e.g. https://vivekbansal.substack.com/p/system-design-study-how-f...
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.
The context in the related AP article shows that they were CEO of Cadence during the time when that company violated export control rules by selling certain technology to Chinese organizations linked to the Chinese military.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Cadence, in July, agreed to plead guilty to resolve charges that it violated export controls rules to sell hardware and software to China’s National University of Defense Technology, which is linked to the Chinese military. Tan was the CEO of Cadence when the company violated the rules between 2015 and 2021.

It's also a hoot to just see LDS missionaries waiving their iPhones around with the Genesis Apple clearly visible.
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.

I do want to clarify a few points, on the project page it does provide the following information:
Distributed Transactions: TiDB uses a two-phase commit protocol to ensure ACID compliance, providing strong consistency. Transactions span multiple nodes, and TiDB's distributed nature ensures data correctness even in the presence of network partitions or node failures.
High Availability: Built-in Raft consensus protocol ensures reliability and automated failover. Data is stored in multiple replicas, and transactions are committed only after writing to the majority of replicas, guaranteeing strong consistency and availability, even if some replicas fail. Geographic placement of replicas can be configured for different disaster tolerance levels.

Correctness has been a focus for a long time for TiDB, including working on passing Jepsen Tests back in 2019, see https://www.pingcap.com/blog/tidb-passes-jepsen-test-for-sna... and https://jepsen.io/analyses/tidb-2.1.7

Yes, corrected!
Yes, I am still getting up to speed after a long break for Christmas and New Year!
There are quite a few. Pinterest, LinkedIn, Plaid, Mercari, and Rakuten shared their experiences with TiDB at PingCAP's annual event last year (2024) - https://www.pingcap.com/htap-summit/.
In the previous event (2023) there were speakers from Airbnb, Databricks, Flipkart, PayPay, and others sharing their experiences as well - https://www.pingcap.com/htap-summit/sept-2023/

It may not be as popular but they do have Amazon WorkDocs
Amazon WorkDocs is a document storage, collaboration, and sharing system. Amazon WorkDocs is fully managed, secure, and enterprise scale.

The answer is zero
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.
ESPN has a history of noncompliance with the Commission’s EAS rules and was fined in 2015 and 2021 for EAS violations.
Sounds like the previous fines didn't sufficiently motivate the correct behavior unfortunately.
Model X is no where near as spacious inside as a minivan. I have had a couple of Odyssey’s and they are much more spacious, particularly for the third row seating.
I eventually moved to an Electric Vehicle (Kia EV9) that is quite roomy, but still smaller than the minivan inside.
You could check out the A500 mini, more of an emulator though - https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/
A lot of heating in the UK is gas (so wouldn't drive electricity consumption) and a lot of homes in the UK do not have AC (recent news reports suggest it is under 5% of the homes have it)
It is commonplace now that young people at the workplace produce 5x as much as their older colleagues.
This does not sound connected to any reality I have seen, and seems facially ageist.
SQL also turns 50[1] today, I think that it has much wider active usage today than many of its contemporaries.

I'm not sure how much funding they were getting from their partners, but one of the most tech focused on the list* was VMware who were recently acquired by Broadcom and have been going through a lot of cost cutting, perhaps this was one of the impacted areas?
* https://womenwhocode.com/about shows VMware, The Home Depot, DraftKings, Boeing, SiriusXM currently. Of those VMware is the biggest pure tech/coding company on that list (IMO).

Interesting, I used https://ossinsight.io/analyze/JiaT75 to identify contributions from the account used by author of the backdoor. It looks like the account made other potentially problematic contributions to other projects.
The disabling of ifunc in this PR against Google's oss-fuzz project maybe one way they tried to prevent this particular backdoor being flagged by that tool? https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/pull/10667
With respect to:
My guess is that this is a big-retail liquidation of devices Apple is ready to move on from, and not a new long-term price point. We'll see!
I think this may have staying power. It provides a nice way of selling to a lower tier segment without impacting their higher tier offerings. It provides an on-route to the Apple computing ecosystem for those on slightly lower incomes who would otherwise have to go with the equivalent Windows laptop. Winning at that level gets people deeper into the Apple ecosystem earlier, and more likely in the future to stay in that ecosystem if their economic situation changes (classic example would be budget conscious students)
They are obviously not the only one, developers worked on the original code and made it available under the MIT license. The author of the PR has the right to make the change and run it on their own system, they are also free to share that change to others. The project is free to reject that change for whatever reason.
I am no fan of the syntax of SQL, however the authors solution of making SQL more procedural is (imo) correctly identifying an issue but then reaching for the wrong tool to fix it.
When I am authoring SQL, I find the declarative and relational concepts extremely powerful and well suited to the problem I am solving.
Amazon provide multiple database offerings in their cloud, it was still a multiple year effort to move off Oracle:
Migration Complete – Amazon’s Consumer Business Just Turned off its Final Oracle Database
Today I would like to tell you about an internal database migration effort of this type that just wrapped up after several years of work.
For years I’ve been complaining that I can’t easily use my private iPad with my company Mac because they have separate Apple IDs.
I have a similar complaint with my Apple Watch and my corporate issued laptop. When I am using my own computer (mac mini) I love how easy it is to use my watch to login, use it to approve actions, etc. However when it comes to my company laptop I have to type my password in repeatedly. It would be awesome if the watch could be linked to both IDs to make this much more seamless.
