I'd like to thank the creators of ClickHouse as i hope they are reading here. We've been using it since 2019 in a single server setup with billions of rows. No problems at all. And query speeds that seem unreal compared to MySQL and pg.
As we did not want to go into the HA/backup/restore details at that time we created a solution that can be quickly recreated from data in other databases.
Interesting presentation from Alexey about Features and Roadmap from May 2021:
I have similar first hand experience with ClickHouse. In the past I have moved custom analytics solution I had built on HBase to a solution running on a single node ClickHouse and had no issues whatsoever. In my current startup I am again using ClickHouse with great success. It's a mind boggling fast. Thanks ClickHouse team for building such an amazing system and for making it open source.

Edit: Damn. I think OP was being sarcastic. A quick look through the comment history shows a different view than the one expressed in the comment. I removed the downvote.
---Original comment---
Here's why I downvoted you:
- It doesn't matter if the water is clean or dirty because that's not what's causing climate change.
- The United States was the second largest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2015. CO2 is a leading cause of climate change.
- The term "bigly" is often used by people who are proud of their ignorance. Ignorance isn't something to be proud of.
To be fair the only real giveaway was "bigly", which was subtle. Otherwise I've heard people try to make this exact argument. "Well the air isn't all smoggy so I don't know what you all are so worried about."
Should get international politicans to use their nation's climate virtue as a beating stick. No need to manufacture other kinds of outrage since climate atrocity is in plentiful supply.
The parent comment was of course sarcastic. However, your trip savvy list is seven countries long.
The US does not have the best tap water in the world, I think everyone here can guess that already. It does have extremely safe tap water overall however, save for a few examples like Flint (and fracking regions in West Texas or Oklahoma, both of which get bad ratings on water violations). Its rate of serious drinking water violations is low nationally going back over the last 20-30 years.
Right now it does. Major financial/political interests are seeking to gut the laws that got us the cleanest water and air in order to make more money for themselves.
The air in the US is in fact as clean as Western Europe. Comparing it to individual smaller nations, then I'm sure there are many examples that are cleaner. Comparing the US to larger population regions however it does compare very well to the best.
Good thing i never bought a Nest device. As with most "Google made" devices the lifespan and their commitment to support a product are abysmal.
Honestly we need to change the way we think about products - especially household products like those Nest was selling. No way can i save money with it if i pay 300$ and it gets killed after 2 or 3 years. And i'm not even talking about the environmental aspects.
The documentary about Dieter Rams makes me long for more designers who understand their responsibility.
It would be really nice to have a browser extension that shows the amount of other reviews every reviewer has in the last n months. Someone with 20+ review can not really be trusted and can be filtered out.
Or even better: If Amazon would spend some of their AI departments time and delete those fake reviews on a daily basis. So tired of them.
The article actually mentions Fakespot [1] which has a chrome extension as well as ReviewMeta [2] which as far as I can tell doesn't. Neither do exactly what you're asking but they seem quite useful from a quick investigation and highlight some of the issues highlighted in the article when you look at the linked product.
Might be worth checking out ReviewMeta - it scans Amazon product reviews for unnatural review patterns and provides a report highlighting suspicious activity. They also offer a browser extension.
Nice first impression. Some issues though: No video chat. That's the main thing i use skype for. Sound goes through my Macs default settings. I can change the microphone to my headset but not the output. If i change the output to headset it will also change this for my music which is annoying.
