In Australia it's $400 Google Store credit with the Pro, $250 with the regular. Pixel Watch 2 starts at $549.

Those prods have existed since phones, but it was previously about not having a ringtone blare out. Now the backlash is against people scrolling tiktok/whatever during a movie. I haven't been to a movie theatre in a while so I can't say if it's a phenomenon but that would be infuriating

I've always used this. Any rows returned means there are differences

  select * from (
    (
      select *
      from table1
      minus
      select *
      from table2
    )
    union all
    (
      select *
      from table2
      minus
      select *
      from table1
    )
  )

Yeah, compulsory voting is what makes it a viable way to detect fraud.

I was also mistaken somewhat when I said "paper ballots". There is certainly electronic voting in Australia, but the "authentication" aspect of just saying a name is still the same. It's essentially "trust but verify"

In Australia we do paper ballots, no voter ID, you just say your name and it's crossed off a list. Afterwards, if the same name was crossed off two lists, the amount of double votes are counted and if it is enough to change the result then the result of that electorate is invalidated. This has not ever happened.

Coming from an Oracle background, both application and data warehousing, I wholeheartedly agree with the articles first paragraph saying that application based dynamic SQL is horrible, but DBA (and I'll include data warehousing) dynamic SQL is great, but it's essentially about how complex the thing is.

A DBA is likely doing things like looping over metadata tables and running

  'grant select on ' || some_table || ' to ' || some_user

While an app developer with free reign will end up doing something much more complex, and much harder to reason about/tune

A good meta search across book stores is https://booko.info/ It's not global, but serves a few countries

Not mainlined now, and probably not ever given that Linus has said "considering Oracle's litigious nature, and the questions over licensing, there's no way I can feel safe in ever doing so"
