Snowflake data sharing

Congrats Snowflake, this is a nice feature that takes advantage of pure separation of storage and compute.

Google BigQuery has had this feature since 2012, and to see this in action take a look at Google's Public Datasets [0]. Only difference, you don't need to "stand up a BigQuery" cluster to leverage the data yourself since BigQuery is serverless. BigQuery also has a nice perpetual storage tier, 10GB of storage and 1TB of analysis for free.
