I am black, and I honestly find this change ridiculous. Born in Africa and lives in the US. And honestly this is ridiculous. At some point this becomes painful it spare the real discussions that need to have about slavery and history.
Same here. Lived in the same area as the freeport, and all questioned myself while biking around, how many stolen or confiscated arts pieces are in there. Most of the focus has been on Tax fraud, and terrorist funding from arts stolen in Syria, but I would like the Swiss Customs to evaluate arts from 3rd world countries, especially Africa and south america.
Dude, my whiskey is almost over, still waiting for you to shatter centuries of mathematical foundations. Don't make me wait too long please. Getting drunf af.

Thiel vs Zuck. Should be fun. Reign of the billionaires. Slowly but surely America is descending on its downward path to join other banana republics. Welcome to the club.
Hum .. don't think so. Not quite yet at least. Underneath this, there is Finagle on top of which most services at Twitter is built on. It offers a java API, but remains a Scala library. And there's still a lot of existing code inside to twitter to ditch Scala right away. Java 8 is awesome, but Java is still not an FP language.
Avro is Row oriented like said before, you should see it ine the categories of Thrift, Protobuf. Albeit a lot better in flexibility. But he gist of it is that it's a Serialization format for than a storage format, which Parquet is.
Usually, when using Kafka or the confluent platform, I'd use Avro, and for long term storage and analytics Avro isn't really suited. Instead use Parquet or ORC if you're using Hive. With things like Spark, Impala or Presto, aggregations queries for ad hoc analytics are an order of magnitude more efficient and faste with Parquet than with Avro.
