I think my query is quite a bit easier than WINDOWing and CTE:
SELECT w1.* FROM day1.wildfire w1 INNER JOIN ( SELECT cause, MAX(acres) as max_acres FROM day1.wildfire GROUP BY cause ) w2 ON w1.cause = w2.cause AND w1.acres = w2.max_acres;
Nice! I think of window functions as the heavy artillery... not always necessary when a group by might do the job.
