Scaling on a Single Machine

The interesting part with Dask, I think, is that it's kind of like pandas, but it scales in all these interesting ways. The cross-cores, bigger memory, but also across machines and then cross-machines. It's probably actually a value to not have too massive of a computer to work on. If you had a $5,000 workstation, you might be a little out of touch with many people using your code.
