There is a massive backup on 95 south. Folks heading to New York should seek alternate routes.

Pathetic. Almost no convictions but many lives ruined in what is clearly a political grandstanding stunt.

I am trying to understand how Joe Biden can be held responsible for the current price rises in key areas, when these same price rises are happening across the industrialized world. Does Biden affect prices in Britain and Australia as well? He must have awesome super powers!.

With @TonyBaer and @drkellyannfitz at @RoachFest. CockroachDB: RDBMS that’s got HA, geodistribution, speed, relatively low cost, and PostgreSQL SQL compatibility. Worth a look.

I find that when people speak of the value of data, they overemphasize analytic data. Consider also operational data, which, with the right controls, driven by metadata, can lead to enterprise agility and operational adaptability.

data governance is critical, the truth about data mesh, the graph db revolution, the rise of streaming data, AI pipeline ubiquity, and all about data lakes. Listen to @SanjMo, @TonyBaer, @dmenninger, @brad_shimmin, @DHenschen, and me on the Cube.

Until the pandemic is over, or sufficiently quelled, I will not attend or appear at any event unless all attendees and staff are required to be fully vaccinated. Kudos to @awscloud for setting this standard at Re:Invent.

Can someone explain to me why, for the past 10 years, the Books app on my iPad aways disables each hyperlink in a PDF once I have used it? I always have to reload the file from iCloud if I want the links to work again. Is it sloppiness or malice?.
