How do you enforce column masking & row filtering when there is no database server in the read path? The @apache.org Iceberg community standardized read-restrictions in the REST Catalog spec for fail-closed lakehouse governance! How do you govern open tables? goo.gle/iceberg-fgac

There are a lot of technologies that succeed because they map our way of thinking to existing paradigms! For example: Your turn signal clicks because it used to use a relay that made that noise. We no longer use manual relays, but the noise remains!

This is an exceptionally small-minded view. The end state is the same: The US President is probably compromised and now owes foreign governments a favor for accepted payment. This isn't limited to the Qataris either! Either way, we can't be sure he's acting in America's best interests as a result
