Clickhouse is great, but like any database if you run it at scale someone must tend to it.

it sounds more like these people feel it's a "weird time" to be nouveau-riche. i guess they're starting to learn why old money keeps to itself and doesn't consort with the hoi polloi.

Last time this happened in the US was during GFC. Mercedes-Benz and BMW "went into hiding" instead of Birkins.

Who's they? Members of every generation have to become class-conscious at some point, no? Some just pick it up quicker, perhaps through a European classic novel or a Great Depression archival newspaper.

Does anyone use clickhouse in production? I was initially pretty impressed but when I really put it through its paces I could OoM it as soon as I actually started querying non-trivial amounts of data:

You can set up local BGP routers and peer them and play with it.

Another fun thing is to log into publicly available looking glass servers. Most ISPs (including very, very, very large ones) operate routers that have their full view of the BGP routing tables. They either run web interfaces that let you query those tables (more common) or make public ssh or telnet credentials to log in with roles that have very limited access to the available commands, but have read rights to those tables.

While traveling by car during one of his many overseas travels, Professor Milton Friedman spotted scores of road builders moving earth with shovels instead of modern machinery. When he asked why powerful equipment wasn’t used instead of so many laborers, his host told him it was to keep employment high in the construction industry. If they used tractors or modern road building equipment, fewer people would have jobs was his host’s logic.

“Then instead of shovels, why don’t you give them spoons and create even more jobs?” Friedman inquired.

... by design. Leaked internal decks showed that one of the main motivators for building Zelle was to shift fraud liability more to consumers and away from the banks.

I'll buy someone a coffee if they propose a state-space model that identifies a location on the author's plane as a function of time and incentives :^)

At what level of $$ investment do angel investors, Silicon Valley VCs and/or boards expect professional, periodic audits?

This is what I personally want to see in non profit board meetings: cash flow, headcount, categorized expenses and a balance sheet. I also want to see a copy of a bank account statement attached to the board docs validating the cash flow numbers. This is not a proper audit - but this builds a paper trail where the CEO is snap shotting an org's financial health in writing at a period in time.

What does a VC who has invested $8M expect in terms of audit?

Ostensibly this roostful homecoming is a result of increasing capital costs.
