Nord Stream 1 was stopped. Gas is still flowing from Russia. Anyways, the argument is actually more likely the opposite. Opposition was planning a sabotage. In anticipation, to dow…

This is not correct. Gas supplies are controlled by state-owned corporation. Putin and this corporation are one. There is no multi-factions within this organization. It is 100% und…

Might be shocking to some, but not all of Russia is one people. There are multiple interests there among country's leaders. And one such interest: to get rid off Putin's regime qui…

wow, impressive! how about symmetric aggregates (e.g. being able to do correct summation/aggregation on numeric values despite a one_to_many join)?

mmmm, both! Tech-wise, data stacks are complicated. Hundreds of pre-existing tools, with many owners and diverse interests. BI is where they all meet. With some organizations its e…
