Yes, I will be doing that. But thought I will ask the wider community here before proceeding. It will help me avoid problems others have faced.

> What is your use-case?

Want a DB to store highly connected massive graph structure with requirement of auditing and analytics.

> Why do you think RethinkDB would be good for it?

It is a document store, supports changefeed, is distributed and fault-tolerant, supports geospatial types, auto-sharding and can scale horizontally.

That section is only available to YC companies. For everyone else the only option to post jobs is via the "Who is hiring?" thread which is posted on first working day of each month.

This happens because the Indian government does not yet have the infrastructure of NSA and or GCHQ :) They have to demand for the information instead :)

Linux Kernel source is very good.

Wt[0] source code is also good.

Well, I was interested in preventing others from sniffing the traffic. If I am the app owner or an app user, then anyone on the LAN or shared home network can sniff the traffic.

It is "Billion dollar deals" and not "Billion dollar dreams" :) I am not able to edit my original comment.

Have you yourself read the book? The book provides massive list of references from all over the world used for researching the topic.

I will give you an example of how the UK manipulates the facts for consumption of its citizens. After Shashi Tharoor's Oxford Union speech went viral, the BBC published an article by a leading UK "historian". This guy claimed that he never "heard" of the UK damaging hands of Indian handloom weavers to destroy the Indian textile industry to promote it's own! This shows how the UK historians write history. I would urge citizens of UK to visit the former colonies of the UK and talk to the locals and get their facts. It is very well known both within the UK historian community and across the world that the UK history is whitewashed to hide lots of misdeeds of the past. Unfortunately that does not help the country to move forward as most of the country still thinks that they did good by occupying other countries.

A scam of top-5%-bottom-5% rule. I hate this stupidity of non-tech people out of business schools who understand zilch about tech companies.

For information on how this rule has affected people, watch BBC documentary on this topic from the series "Billion dollar dreams".

Anyone interested in a very thorough writing on the British occupation of India should read "The Inglorious Empire" by Shashi Tharoor. It is a very well researched work!

You are underestimating humans. Look what we have done to the Earth.

This is baffling to me, Google is promoting PWA and at the same time promoting Flutter for web development and native mobile development!

This argument is like, "to save the kittens, kill the puppies".

Also, is the Moon really separate from the Earth? What will be the ecological effect on Earth if we start destroying the Moon?

Edit:

For anyone interested in understanding how the Moon affects life on Earth, following articles might help:

How online payments actually work behind the scenes, complete flow from sender to receiver. That deep-dive would be really useful.

Online newspapers have tried it. Only Financial Times has succeeded to some extent. What you are proposing is "nagging paywall" i.e newspapers are using in-or-out type of paywall whereas your suggestion is to keep users nagging with a "whitespace" for payment. One-time payment request has not succeed, why do you think nagging users with blank page every few minutes is going to succeed.

There will be very few content creator who will benefit, most of them won't. This has a massive scalability problem.

A noob question, but why Blockchain is required for this? Why can't this be done with normal databases?
