Religious situation in germany after the reformation 1525genauer
After the Protestant Reformation in 1525, Germany was overwhelmingly Lutheran, with some areas following other Protestant faiths like Calvinism or Anabaptism. Catholicism remained strongest in southern Germany. By 1600, Lutheranism had spread even further, though Catholicism still had a presence concentrated in the south. This provides context on the religious landscape in Germany following the Reformation, as compared to the widespread Roman Catholic rule across Europe in earlier centuries.

The S&P 500 has a long term real return of 4.3% according to research from 2014. Over the long term, the S&P 500 has historically averaged an annual return of 4.3% after accounting for inflation. This research into the S&P 500's long term performance was conducted and published in January 2014.
The document summarizes a bike trip along the former "Iron Curtain" border between Germany and Czech from Bad Schandau to Děčín and back in 2013. It notes there are now barriers to keep out cars along the bike path, which can be removed by rescue vehicles if needed. The return trip from Děčín to Smilka saw no flags, guards or guns marking the former border. It also mentions briefly seeing Germany's defense minister biking without guards in 2011.
A store is open and has fresh strawberries available for purchase at 1 in the morning. The store appears to have an unusual hours of operation, staying open late into the night. Potential customers can find freshly picked strawberries ready to buy at the store between midnight and 2 am.
This document contains 3 summaries of house price data:
1) US house price indices like the S&P Case-Shiller Index and measures of unemployment from 2000-2015, showing house prices peaked in 2005-2006 and have yet to fully recover.
2) Plans to also include house price data from Eurozone countries like Germany at a later time.
3) House price data from a local market in eastern Germany from 1998-2015, which peaked in 2008 after incentives were removed and during the financial crisis, and has slowly increased since.
The document discusses Ireland's bonds and interest rates from 2010-2012 following its request for IMF help in November 2010. It shows that Ireland's 5-year CDS spread peaked above 600 basis points prior to IMF assistance, then fell to pre-IMF levels as Ireland fulfilled IMF plans. Ireland's 10-year bond rates similarly peaked above 9% before the IMF request, then dropped to 6.7% as Ireland met IMF targets, regaining market access by late 2012 as planned.
The document discusses NGDP targeting and its effects. It argues that NGDP targeting:
1) Only induces inflation and does nothing for real economic growth.
2) Diminishes the savings of older, poor, and middle-class savers by stealing value through inflation.
3) Data from several countries between 1950-1990 shows no correlation between money growth and real GDP growth, indicating that expanding the money base does not lead to real economic growth.
This document discusses solving a 36 inch problem for toddlers by having them use drawers instead of other unsafe solutions like blocked drawers or knives. It mentions the heights of drawers and objects desired by toddlers of different ages, emphasizing safety features like key locks for the drawers.
Low government interest rates reduce mortgage payments significantly but also lower annuity payments to the elderly, helping some but punishing others. US mortgage rates closely track government bond yields, with about half of insurance company holdings in Germany going towards rental properties.
Private debt in many developed nations hit 130% of GDP by mid-2007, reflecting growing concerns about high levels of borrowing by households and corporations. Private sector borrowing accelerated in the years leading up to the global financial crisis, fueling economic growth but also increasing vulnerability if credit conditions tightened or the economy slowed. When the crisis hit in 2008, high private debt loads exacerbated its impact and prolonged the recession in many countries.
Goldman Sachs determines the fair value of currencies based on interest rate differentials and relative over or under valuation. Surpluses, delays for policies to take effect, and changes to tax codes can explain most of Germany's current account balance.

The document discusses ratings of countries that have adopted the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) over time. Several countries initially adopted the GIPS standards in the 1990s and early 2000s. Since that time, additional countries from various regions around the world have increasingly adopted the GIPS standards as the global investment industry has grown. Overall, the document appears to describe trends in countries choosing to comply with the GIPS standards for reporting investment performance to promote fair representation and standardization.
This document provides population data and information about one-act plays, Bloom filters, and non-recourse states for various US states. It shows the population in thousands for each state, and indicates with 1's whether that state has a one-act play tradition, allows for Bloom filters in court, and/or is a non-recourse state for mortgages. The totals at the bottom summarize the population numbers and counts of 1's for each category across all states.
The document discusses the history of public debt credit default swap (CDS) points for several European countries from 2005 to 2012. It shows CDS point charts over time for Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy that peaked during the European debt crisis period of 2008-2012. It also includes charts comparing 10-year bond interest rate spreads for various European countries to Germany as a benchmark.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
