The main use case for NoSql is scale at the cost of consistency. What's the exact use case for UnQLite - as in - what scaling issues do embedded databases face? In what scenarios?
What's this bull-shittery supposed to evoke? Sympathy for your lack of understand of copyright law, or your bull-shit entitlement to CBS' content, or just how disconnected you are from content economics?
Ever run a content business? I bet no. Ever run any business? I guess not - fundamental rules of economics relies on a quid-pro-quo transaction that you seem to not understand.
Or, since geniuses like you have cracked the media market - you should start your own channel - where content is free of copyright and there's zero need for return on investment. Apply to YC while you're at it
Yes indeed. There era of entitlement is upon us - "unless CBS gives away all their free content without tracking and monetizing me, I'll illegally pirate their content - because in 2018 I'm entitled to CBS content without frills"
Here's the thing: most users don't really care. The evidence is in the author's own disapproval of the slack app - about it just being a wrapper around a website disguised as an app. Guess what, slack desktop has a LOT of traction, and paying customers!
If an app is sufficiently good on Marzipan, then the users will steer it towards becoming better if they care.
Curious why the oldest application of the blockchain - money - isn't in your list. Actually, I find it mysterious that Revolut and PayPal are more popular when Bitcoin and ethereum are freely accessible
What?! Zuck dropped a cool $21B on the app - I believe he's entitled to expect a return on investment without being bullied, using a public business model everyone knew about. Facebook isn't a non profit, and zuck is actually accountable to investors
Steve jobs had reiterated multiple times that good artists copy and great artists steal. Apple stole the 'GUI' and 'mouse' from Xerox, constantly violates scores of OS patents held by Microsoft, and now blatantly steals Qualcomm modem code.
Remember when they made a fucking hue and cry over rounded rectangles? The whole $1B with Samsung?
None come with $0/annum, spam filtering, deep search, state of the art 2FA, large amounts of storage, large collection of plugins, cross OS native clients, ....
I'm assuming here that the changes are GDPR compliant (given the large army of lawyers working for Google).
If they are, all this brouhaha is from the technophile echo chamber of opinions. The average joe gives a rat's ass for this, as evident from all the non-noise coming out of the regular world. Techonopiles have made an art of outrage - typing on their $3000 laptop or $1300 iPhones built by slave-grinded employees toiling 16 hour days in China - NO HN COMMENTING ALLOWED AT WORK FOR THEM, BTW
Please go use FF & pretend to have privacy online or be better humans. Mozilla - the world leader in disappearing money [1]. Does it really take $225M to build & maintain the quantum browser? And why $135M for 'marketing'?
Can ProPuboica/MarkUp investigate how Apple never comes under the scanner of anti trust regulators either in the US or EU, while Google, Microsoft get fingered for far less. For instance, Android, which is open source, has been fined by the EU, while EU app developers have consistently complained against Apple's app store authorization and related policies onto deaf ears.
The only technicality protecting Apple from massive anti trust regulations with regards to the store is that the iPhone actually isn't a monopoly in cell phone unit shipments.
However, many economists have noted that app revenues (not advertising) is highly skewed towards Apple's platform. When will a $100B app market stop being treated as a feature of physical phone unit shipments, worthy of its own independent regulation?
Cavium is actively competing with Intel, offering ARM for the server space. You can rent cavium CPUs from http://Packet.Net for a lot cheaper than Intel
Qualcomm's server unit demise has more to do with management than tech - Cavium built it's processors with fewer dollars than Qualcomm.
