Maintaining? What sorts of difficult maintenance tasks are you having to do on your phone that I've apparently been missing out on?
security updates? nah upgrading to new releases? nah consistent look and feel? not on my watch! it just works? madness...
That's it.
Hey all, as a potential competitor of Looker, I'm not sure how I should feel about this news. :) Here are some of the facts: 1. When Google acquired Alooma, they slowed down the development and dropped the support for other destinations such as Redshift and Hive. Even though Alooma is a data pipeline tool which makes it similar to Looker's case, the deal was $150M (compared to $2.6B) so I'm not sure the comparison ma…
I'm a huge fan of Looker, but I'm not sure how I feel about this news. The best parts of Looker: - It connects directly to your existing data warehouse. Most BI tools suck in your data into their datastore; Looker queries your database directly. If you wanted Looker to cache results for performance reasons, you could set up a dedicated schema in Redshift for example and only give write privileges to that one schema.…

And Waze too. I love that app's singular focus in improving the driving experience and nothing else as a Maps product.

That... would be the marketing team for you. We do spend quite a bit of our time adding stuff that I don't think I've seen anywhere else but is extremely useful for some of our biggest clients.
> I don't think I've seen anywhere else Market that stuff! Blog posts, list of features, service comparison - anything. For example, I know that Tableau offers in-memory storage that can help improve performance by bring data in locally and not hitting the original source. Kato mentions something about "10x performance improvement", but there's zero explanation how this is accomplished.
I think I'll start writing out the feature comparisons.

I’m surprised (and glad) they didn’t integrate it into Google Maps and shut down Waze.
Even I am surprised too but I guess since Google started working on self-driving cars and then after seeing the advent of ride-hailing apps, they may have thought to keep Waze so one day Google can convert it into a ride-hailing + navigation app. Maybe that's the plan who knows!
