There are Python and and MATLAB bindings, in fact MATLAB 2021a now uses SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS for sparse matrix multiplication (A*B) built-in.

#22The fact that there isn't more discussion around the cryptography, networking, etc. suggests to me that many are still unfamiliar with the power of the underlying technology.

#23Data Hubs. It’s queriable like a database but it doesn’t store your data - it proxies all your other databases and data lakes and stuff, and let’s you join between them. Trino is a great example.

is that stuff like Presto?

#25Narrowband IoT data service. Very low power, low bandwidth, cheap, with increasingly great coverage. It’s like an offshoot of LTE but classified as a 5G technology for massive numbers of low power internet connected devices.
I have to admit, the idea of a run-of-the-mill security-hole-ridden IoT device being exposed to the bare internet over a wireless connection that's out of my control gives me the heebie-jeebies... and that's ignoring the possibilities for malicious use (e.g. using a low powered wireless connection for uncontrollable surveillance/data collection).

Aren't stuff like data lakes and warehouses supposed to address the need for a centralized datastore?
Outside of perhaps an easy-to-apply interface, what benefit would a data hub provide over just streaming duplicates from all of your databases into a single data lake like Snowflake?

#30https://paddle.com - it's like Stripe, but their "Reseller of record" means that they handle all sales tax / VAT issues. For most SaaS businesses it seems to reduce headaches a lot.
I’m a customer, and it handles a lot of headaches for accounting. Basically you have 1 client - paddle, as far as the law is concerned. Plus has an easy checkout feature that’s inline for collecting payment info that never touches your server, no headaches securing that info.
