When analytics on Postgres slows down, most teams add a second database. Then come the pipelines, the sync jobs, and a copy of your data that's always a little behind.

TimescaleDB takes a different approach: extend Postgres instead of splitting away from it. Hypertables partition your data automatically as volume grows. Hypercore compression cuts storage up to 95%. Continuous aggregates keep dashboards live without re-querying everything.

CERN runs Postgres this way for sensor data from the Large Hadron Collider.

No split architecture, no pipeline lag, no new query language to learn. Same SQL, same drivers, same tools.

The White House Refuses To Release Any Of The 60 Pages Describing How It Screens AI Models For Security Threats: Answering a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Protect Democracy, the White House's cybersecurity office said it found 60 pages of records, seven of them describing the review system itself, and is withholding all of them on national security grounds, The Washington Post reported Monday, Nov. 2. The framework for vetting frontier models was finished in August and companies have been briefed on it privately; the Post reported then that open-weight models would be exempt. Protect Democracy says it will keep pressing in court. Link

The New York Times And Three Tribune Papers Sue Brave, Naming Anthropic, xAI And Perplexity As Buyers Of Its Search Index: The Times and, in a separate complaint, the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and Orlando Sentinel sued Brave Software in Manhattan federal court Monday, Nov. 2, alleging it used an unidentified crawler publishers cannot block to index more than 30 billion pages and sells access through its Brave Search API, whose customers the complaints name as Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI and Cohere; none of the five is a defendant. The Tribune papers say Ask Brave reproduced more than 1,200 words of a Tribune story on data center tax breaks; the Times also alleges paywall bypass and says it sent cease-and-desist letters in August 2025 and April 2026. Both seek injunctions and damages. The suits move the training-data fight from model makers to the index suppliers they buy from; News Corp's separate case against Brave is in the Northern District of California. Link

Turkey Opens A Full Antitrust Investigation Into Google's AI Overviews And Orders A Publisher Opt-Out In The Meantime: Turkey's Competition Authority announced Monday, Nov. 2, a full investigation into AI Overviews and AI Mode over traffic diverted from publishers, the terms on which Google uses their content and the exclusion of publishers and rival AI chatbots, together with an interim measure it adopted Oct. 8 under Article 9(4) of Law No. 4054. Until the case ends, Google must not discriminate among news publishers, must offer them terms reflecting the economic value of their content, and must let them opt out of AI Overviews and AI Mode without losing indexing or visibility elsewhere in search. No fine or compliance deadline was announced, and the features stay live. It is the same opt-out Britain's CMA required of Google under its strategic market status regime. Link

A Neighbor Asks A Virginia Judge To Void Botetourt County's Google Data Center Deal Over Closed-Door Votes: Robert Dallas, a retired anesthesiologist who lives about half a mile from the site, sued the Board of Supervisors, the county, its Economic Development Authority and developer Helio Capital LLC in Botetourt County Circuit Court on Monday, Nov. 2, under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Cardinal News reported. The suit says supervisors discussed the performance agreement in a June 24, 2025 closed session that was not on the published agenda, then approved it 5-0 without discussion, and adopted a water authority resolution that was not on the agenda either; it asks Judge Joel Branscom to void those actions, including the expedited permits and Google's eligibility for third-party inspections. The deal covers 312 acres for about $14 million and at least $1 billion in investment per data center, and grading has begun. His lawyer, John Fishwick, says the statute requires a hearing within seven working days; none is set, and the county declined to comment. Link

An Election-Eve Deepfake Claim In North Carolina, Which Has No Disclosure Rule For AI In Political Ads: Sam Davis III, the Democrat challenging Rep. Bill Ward in North Carolina House District 5, says an NC House Republican Caucus ad shows an AI-made image of him in a gold suit; Ward said the image "may be AI generated," and the caucus, which has spent more than $500,000 in the race, would not confirm, WAVY reported on the eve of today's vote. North Carolina has no law requiring disclosure of AI in political ads, HB 375 is pending, and no complaint has been filed.
