Yandex (Google of Russia) is a large share holder of Clickhouse Inc[1]. Yes, this maybe a European Yandex subsidiary.. I really don't care to dig, but I think its dishonest to say the company doesn't have Russian backers. Has Clickhouse Inc forced Yandex to divest their large ownership stake?

> I really don't care to dig

Then why are you opining on the subject?

Because half truths like your statements bother me? Yandex is a large investor in clickhouse Inc. (at last as far as public record shows). Have they forced Yandex to divest their holdings?

It's literally in the article I linked (https://clickhouse.com/blog/we-stand-with-ukraine). As you're incapable of reading let me highlight it for you:

> We have no operations in Russia, no Russian investors, and no Russian members of our Board of Directors.

It's disappointing after 11+ yrs of failing to find traction for MemSQL, this is the hill you die on? You're running your mouth on some random comments thread about a shitty 2-person analytics platform where the author clearly doesn't know the first thing about databases and just went with the first Twitter ad he came across.

Under Raj's "leadership" you know damn well MemSQL/SingleStore will be dead within two years. The hyper-aggressive sales pressure had some success during the lofty bull market due to clueless IT managers with massive budgets, but that time has come to an end. You guys missed the window to IPO to get your own exit and your runway is quickly diminishing.

I read the article. And yes, this was probably a mistake to engage with you on it.

Yandex N.V. (A dutch holding company of Yandex Russia) is listed as an investor of Clickhouse Inc. This is all I'm stating.

This article makes a lot more sense when you know that Singlestore/MemSQL gifted Jack Ellis shares.

Lmao. Hey, if I wasn't running Fathom, Dev Rel @ SingleStore is the only role I'd consider in tech right now. And I would definitely try to get some of those sweet shares as part of compensation. Alas, I don't own any SingleStore shares.

Hah. What a joke. So it's all astroturfing and fake evangelism.
