And the key word “big” here is far bigger than most engineers need to deal with. Hell, most supposed “big data” problems I’ve seen people try to tackle are small enough to fit the whole database into memory.

Bad for the budget too, because a shrinking economy shrinks tax revenues from other sources.

That’s sadly the opinion of a lot of tech companies.

It’s fine to do that if you’re pre-customer and you’re just dabbling with a new idea. Once you are ready to go public though you need to be stable and secure. The big problem is when people try to apply the same development philosophy between established software and pre-alpha software.

Any 3D printed gun is carbon negative if used to take out virtually any human. People do not live sustainable lives.

Starlink has much better latency than most satellites, but still 10 to 50 times as much as fiber.
