It seems like a decent concept. I think the main problem is that you have two competitors (nhost and superbase) that are doing the same thing but better. In particular:

1. Their stacks are mostly open source, so you can truly self host with no cost at all if and when you need to.

2. They're building on top of Postgres so you get the full power of a SQL database. Plus they both have realtime solutions ready to go.
Neither.

Apple is attempting to steal the concept of computing and turn it into a protected, arcane art.

You can't even run your own software on a device you own. That's a sure sign of a company that loves you and has your best interests at heart.

> using for client facing reports, a key feature of your application, is blocked.

That seems a very pessimistic / overly conservative interpretation to me. They are clearly shooting for people selling Elastic itself as a hosted service here. Your client facing report being "Elastic Software or the features and functions of the Elastic Software" is unlikely to fall into "reasonable interpretation" space IMHO.
Parler was created because there's a perception of biased censorship on Twitter. Never used Parler but can confirm there is a ton of hateful content and calls for violence on Twitter. I'm sorry you think it's unfair to compare the two, because anyone who cares an iota about fairness and censorship would prioritize the comparison.
Yup, why go around and publicly make a fool of yourself when you can do that anonymously online?
How can you see Tweets there? When I try to open some past snapshots, they just render ajaxy "Something went wrong".

(I'm surprised Twitter is archivable in the first place, the whole thing being a pile of JS crap.)
Twitter doesn't compete in a free market segment. No upstart is going to come along and beat Twitter because they monopolize users' access to their own social networks (if you want to participate in conversations your friends are having, you can't do so from e.g. Mastodon because your friends almost certainly aren't on Mastodon).
That's not correct, as I understand it. Section 230 says that you can't be held liable for content on your site that you did not create yourself, even if you generally moderate your content (i.e. are not just a common carrier).

But there are still laws that require you to _remove_ certain content (child porn comes to mind, but also material that infringes copyrights, etc) once you are aware of it.

Concretely, given this sequence of events:

1. You have a web site that allows people to post pictures. You moderate them some.

2. Someone who is not you or one of your employees/contractors posts child porn.

3. Before your moderators notice it, someone else sees it and reports it to the FBI.

4. You remove the child porn (based on normal moderation getting to it, or you getting notified by the person from item 3 or by the FBI).

my understanding is that Section 230 means that there is no legal liability on your part, as long as step 4 actually happens once you become aware of the content.
I was in a similar boat and fairly recently started using pCloud, which I've been liking a lot. It has minimal frills and just focuses on file storage and sharing.

The question was about how you move Stacks to Bitcoin.

You don't make squat until you own your own business (though there are some exceptions for commercial work). Which you can't do until you've put your years in thanks to protectionist licensing schemes.
That's the problem, they make claims but fail to provide evidence. If I want to execute a currency arbitrage strategy, I want to know what is backing the currencies. In most fiat currencies, you can do this by 1) Assessing the current economic conditions & the country's history of monetary policy. 1) evaluating the currency supply against the GDP: This is really what a fiat currency is actually backed by. (Or at least one of the fundamental components)

You can't do this with Tether. A country's own economic reports and extensive external analysis by others can validate the financial state of a country & its fiat currency. With Tether, you have to take their word for it.

And loans? Doesn't that contradict their entire premise-- Mint 1 Tether and sell it for $1 so it's always fully backed. Loans shouldn't be necessary. Loans could be called in the second Tether shows weakness, which would further destabilize it.

And lets face it: If it's not actually fully backed $1 for $USDT then there's zero guarantee that it can't start floating against other coins or currencies. It's only worth $1 if you can find someone willing to give you $1 for $1 USDT. People claim if it loses value then Tether will simply buy up enough to drive the price back to the $1 peg. Buy it with what though? Their assets, the money backing it! which means it's then backed by even less! The only way a strategy of Tether buying the price back up to the $ peg can work at all is if Tether has more assets backing it that strictly necessary.

As for other assets backing it, they'll go up & down in value too. Even if it's currently fully backed, without transparency those other assets backing it can go down in value and then all of a sudden it's not fully backed.

All of these concerns might be moot. Tether might be completely sound, rock solid & stable. But anyone who believes that is taking it on faith based on the word of people who are highly biased & highly interested in having $USDT owners believe it, true or not, and it is unfathomable to me at this point in crypto, where shitcoins & pump & dumps and ponzi schemes and all kinds of scams persist, that anyone would take something like this on faith.

I would agree that as a science machine learning is in its infancy. There's statistical learning theory, but arguably that's a fairly small subfield, if not a separate field completely. ML has largely been an engineering enterprise so far, but in my experience the interest in developing underlying theory has ramped up in recent years.

What we should be careful about is to not be too strict when defining "science". In my view the goal of any scientific field is to build understanding that is useful for predicting outcomes of experiments. Now, this understanding could be defined mathematically, but it doesn't have to be. Don't see why building heuristics can't be a part of this, assuming such heuristics reliably predict outcomes of experiments.
>Yes, easily. This article [1] shows what I am saying, Core devs are funded by Blockstream.

You clearly didn't read the linked comment because the article doesn't have anything to do with the arguments presented.

>Lightning does not work. It is a centralized "solution" to a decentralized problem. Sure, anyone can make a central database, hold Bitcoin and trade them, that is just an exchange, that is what Lightning is.

How is lightning centralized? You can transact with anyone you want, and you maintain a "tab" with them, which can ultimately be settled up on the blockchain. You can also route payments to anyone else on the network.

>What Blockstream is selling is not Lightning, their product is called Liquid.

This x 10000. I couldn't agree more, thanks for putting that so clearly.

Frankly, I think a number of people in the Open Core movement have a psychological hangup around profit. They feel that if a company - particularly a large corporation - is making money using their software without "contributing back", that that should not be allowed. Well, if you don't want to allow it, fine, but don't pretend you're in the business of releasing free software - you're not. You want to be in the business of proprietary software, since only proprietary software lets you say "hey I don't want Jeff to profit off of my work without paying my for a proprietary license".

I'm also trying to migrate my own shop from Woocommerce to it, but haven't had the time yet ( no blog functionality for now).

Splitting up the code to DDD has slowed down adding new functionality for now ( a lot is migrated, but not everything). But it should improve development complexity in a later stage.

Seems like there’s no talk on why they picked SSPL over BSL?

I like BSL because it always eventually transitions to an ordinary open source license. So over time all BSL licensed code will actually be open source. That seems to not be the case with SSPL?

Undesirable or troublesome to whom?

If you say something on the Internet that angers a mob, you are no more directly harming your ISP than you are directly harming your electric company. Why should one of them be able to cut you off on a whim, and the other cannot? If it is because one of them is more indirectly harmed, such as by the mob attacking them, then why do tolerate such attacks on one but not the other?

Fundamentally, I think that a service provider, of any service, should be expected to provide their service to anyone willing to pay for it, as long as that customer does not actively and directly harm the service provider. Mob actions against the provider are a separate matter, and should be opposed, whether they are calling for all ISPs to disconnect the offender or for all grocers to stop selling them food.

Further, I think that even at the platform level, permabans should not be allowed (unless perhaps with a court judgement after multiple offenses). Temporary suspension for TOS violations? Sure! But there should always be a clear and accessible process for appeal, and for the offender to redeem themselves. Considering what a large and important part of society communication platforms have become, a lifetime ban without trial or recourse is unacceptable and unconscionable.

If you read Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huck Fin, boys fighting, even if they just met seemed to be part of life.

> The summer evenings were long. It was not dark, yet. Presently Tom checked his whistle. A stranger was before him—a boy a shade larger than himself. A new-comer of any age or either sex was an im-pressive curiosity in the poor little shabby village of St. Petersburg. This boy was well dressed, too—well dressed on a week-day. This was simply astounding. His cap was a dainty thing, his close-buttoned blue cloth roundabout was new and natty, and so were his pantaloons. He had shoes on—and it was only Friday. He even wore a necktie, a bright bit of ribbon. He had a citified air about him that ate into Tom’s vitals. The more Tom stared at the splendid marvel, the higher he turned up his nose at his finery and the shabbier and shabbier his own outfit seemed to him to grow. Neither boy spoke. If one moved, the other moved—but only sidewise, in a circle; they kept face to face and eye to eye all the time. Finally Tom said: “I can lick you!”

> If we can get the same benefits while also protecting open products from megacorps like AWS, that's a better licence than a true open source licence

That's your opinion, of course. IMO, there's a type of magic that happens when software is under a truly non-restrictive license. You get a level of quality and reliability in the software that is unmatched by what you get with any proprietary equivalent.

Unfortunately, most people don't really believe in FOSS. And that's okay. But boy am I getting frustrated with these companies that are happy to preach about how "open source" is amazing, until someone else is making some profit with their software and then suddenly the (extremely vague) restrictive licenses start rolling out.
Or a functional kitchen. It's one of the major factors for me in a dwelling. I used to have to make myself a loaf of soda bread as my only food for the week in my "kitchen" that was a stove and a sink in the corner of a room. Now that I'm a little more established I have a kitchen that my partner and I can both move about freely while we work on a meal and it never ceases to feel like we somehow cheated to gain such a luxury.

So food can increase qualitatively in more way than one when you have more resources behind you! And it's certainly not a fact that's lost on people who are struggling

Tree-shaking isn't a sophisticated feature with ES2015 modules and it's more surprising today when build chains don't support it. (The sophisticated features come into play doing any sort of tree-shaking on older module types such as CommonJS or UMD.)

It's not even a build-chain only feature at this point. Some of the reasons the ES2015 module format was built the way that it was were exactly so that browsers can do their own tree-shaking of runtime code. Even if you don't save on the performance impact of the extra 30 KB from being downloaded, in modern enough browsers you would potentially still see a performance impact on browser memory usage and JIT compilation time.

Even if your bundle size has bloated to a MB already, a 30 KB savings is still roughly a 3.3% savings. It's still noticeable. Whether that is "significant" is an argument of personal taste and how many "9s of performance" you try to deliver. Even single digit percentage savings can be huge "significant" wins for many projects.

It'd need to be lower than the existing maintenance plus fuel burden of course, since sunshine is free but oil and coal are not. In any case, if you can't change the power source (as you say, passengers jets are pretty tricky to electrify) then you don't have to build solar panels for those so the upfront cost would go down.

Thinking about it more it would seem likely that as overall oil consumption falls, the relative cost of oil derivatives like jet fuel would go up because the advantages of scale decrease from what they are now. It's a pretty fascinating subject since solar prices seem to follow a Moore's law type price evolution at the moment while oil will get cheaper as well while demand decreases. Presumably there is a balance point somewhere?
