- Free to use for non commercial projects

- 20$/m subscription needed if project has less than $1m annual revenue or <1m users

- Undisclosed "Enterprise" subscription needed for projects larger than above

To me the $240/y sounds pretty awesome for a smaller commercial project, and i like they've set the threshold pretty high up.

But still don't like "undisclosed" black box enterprise pricing though when they're running their own API, because it basically means they can tax you to death if you build a service that competes with their API right - so in effect only viable to create small companies with this tech?

No external force created the John Birch society that transformed into modern Trumpers. Its purely an American thing.

And, the investigations into election meddling ended with finding out that external forces spent some $100,000 on bad Facebook ads before the 2016 election. Not even a drop in a bucket. A simple blog network that the American conservative capital funds among the tens of thousands that they fund has more reach than such an ad.

Not always. There are HTTP servers where you are making an HTTP request for an in-memory value where the work is less than the parsing cost for an HTTP request. There are many HTTP services where the time to fulfill the request is much longer than the parse cost of the request, but that time is not 100% CPU of either the server or any given service, because there's a lot of back and forth delays and latency. There are many HTTP services where they are 100% CPU and orders of magnitude greater than the cost of a HTTP request parse, but are still on the order of <1ms and if such a service was actually a message queue you might still be able to clog a message queue at least somewhat.

This is a very pessimal case, though. You make a tiny HTTP request which is parsed in microseconds at the most, and it invokes somewhere between one to five million microseconds of 100% utilization of an expensive resource. A thousand queuings per second would be fairly easy for a RPi, it could handle that no problem (at least assuming you use a decent language to manage it; a super fancy Python framework that also does a lot of metaprogramming might choke under the load, sure, though some half-carefully written Python still ought to be able to handle this), while those 1000 requests/second would require around 2000 GPUs to dispatch them in real time so we can maintain that 1000 rps. I'm pretty sure you can add an order of magnitude before I'd really start worrying about the RPi as a queuing mechanism, and you're getting to the RPi being able to queue for ~100,000 GPUs without too much strain. I don't know how many GPUs OpenAI has but that's got to be getting pretty close to their order of magnitude. They may have a million, I doubt ten million.

(Of course, I wouldn't actually do this on an RPi; I'm just using that as a performance benchmark.)

I don't actually say that we don't have free speech but rather that you never gave an argument that it isn't, and then I followed that up with that isn't obvious that we do have freedom of speech in practice.

There was the recent Varoufakis thing, there's all sorts of weird corporate censorship on the web, there's these laws about offensive speech in the UK, there's that weird thing where a politically controversial newspaper run by a Swede in Estonia had its bank account frozen (it was eventually unfrozen after a lawsuit, but that took time, and harassment strategies can harm a publication just as bans can), these arrests of anti-monarchy protestors in the UK-- all that stuff about blank protest signs etc.

There's so much weird stuff that it's not obvious that we have freedom of speech. We might, but I am personally not totally sure of the total situation, taking everything into account.
Hey, Electric co-founder here.

Yup, our reactivity is quite simple at the moment, as described, and works quite well because SQLite is so fast. There are other projects doing more sophisticated reactivity algorithms, like Riffle/LiveStore, which has a reactive DAG optimised to avoid re-rendering and https://github.com/vlcn-io/materialite, which is like differential dataflow for live queries.

They're quite bleeding edge at the moment, but you can expect more efficient primitives for incremental view maintenance / efficient subscriptions to land in the embedded database layer quite soon.

As a counterpoint to this, I went to college in my late twenties. I did this specifically to resolve some gaps in my knowledge regarding higher mathematics instead of getting a degree. It's certainly possible to self-study math, but the classes covered exactly what I needed at the time.

Anyway, what I noticed is that most of my classmates simply weren't equipped to study or pass these classes. It wasn't for a lack of skills: they went through the motions as they were taught. It was a problem of maturity. I was approaching these classes as a way to gain valuable knowledge. To them, it was a means to a nebulous end (obtain a degree). Their maladaptive behaviors, which got them through public school, were simply not scaling for harder subjects.

I got As, often perfect scores, on my tests. This is because I studied and did the work. I wanted to be there, and I wanted to excel, because I needed that knowledge. Credit hours were some silly "degree points" metric I didn't care about, because I didn't really care about getting a degree at that point. I was paying out of pocket to be there. I wasn't racking up debt or burning through a grant / scholarship to be there.

Empathy is another thing that gets stronger as our prefrontal cortexes mature. Our mirror neurons deepen as we get older. So, I took pity on these folks. It wasn't really their fault. From my perspective, they went to college too soon. They should've taken a decade off to grow up, like I did. I organized study groups for these classes. To sweeten the pot, I made it a rule that for every 30 minutes of hard work doing board problems, there was 30 minutes of socializing and venting. Then, rule 2 was that everyone did board problems, and new people were up first. I won't go into more detail, but everyone who attended the study groups started getting As on their tests. The results and the social aspect made these study groups popular. Pretty soon, most of the class was in these groups, and that made it very easy to work with the professor to get classroom time instead of schlepping to the college library or the public library for a meeting room.

Although these classes were requirements for engineers and medical doctors, most of the folks who I stayed in contact with eventually changed majors / declared different majors, dropped out, or got unrelated jobs after graduation. I also saw this as a problem with maturity. I knew exactly what I was doing when I started these classes. These kids were burning money to try to figure out what they wanted to do with their lives. Eh... that's a broken system. Kids shouldn't be saddled with debt nor should they have to make a decision about what they want to do for the rest of their lives before their prefrontal contexes have finished forming.

First off, thanks for doing something cool and releasing it as open source! Second, think the person 2 messages up has a valid point and I would like to offer the same constructive feedback.

As someone who is doing a lot of React/Tailwind development lately the more you can assemble larger pages from independently usable components the better. For example here: https://easyfrontend.com/components/ui/all/html?page=1

It would be useful sometimes to be able to search for a "card" component that I want to use rather than remember that I want to see cards I need to go to Blog #10. This seems to be my normal intent when I'm using a framework is that I'm trying to find a [card, dialog, select box, data table, etc].

Anyway though, don't let the feedback get you down, it's awesome and greatly appreciated that you're releasing nicely designed Tailwind UI components. Github repo starred and thread upvoted!

Nah, these are broad strokes you are painting with. Sure some of them needlessly reinvent, but some back end people needlessly reinvent databases and API basics.

But my experience is not the same. It has always been others telling the front-end devs what we "need" to have. I am constantly pushing back with "buttons and links should look and act like buttons and links", "right clicks don't belong in CRUD apps", and "we have a select component that does that". But _BUSINESSES_ want their identity and unique perspective baked into the app.
I wasn't trying to argue against free will or anything like that (I'm a compatibilist about that debate). I was just trying to point out that it's obvious that prior conditions are relevant. Prior decisions also. But free or not, there's nowhere to come from but the past.

It's a weird thing to be pointing out, like... duh, but the context was a bunch of:

> You have to balk when anyone says....

and

> You have to disbelieve anyone who says...

And I was hoping to establish that we in this thread do in fact agree that causation works in one direction only. It would seem I failed.
Your comment follows two contradictory claims, one that anti nutrients are generally too trivial to worry about, and another that there is at least one that is. No RCT evidence is included for either. Doesn't that make both claims equally questionable?

Personally my long term dietary choices have been guided by N=1 experiments on myself, a.k.a. anecdotes, that have proven to be life saving for me. Anecdotes from others are useful for suggesting such experiments on myself, in the same way that epidemiological studies are useful for suggesting RCTs.
Also, are you saying that, when people are unfamiliar with each other, they prefer to use a more familiar medium (like voice) to communicate at first? That is the exact opposite of my own experience

> > we have observation that $X doesn't happen

> You can't prove a negative.

Sure, but it becomes exceedingly unlikely as lack of evidence of existence continues.

> You didn't know about anyone with that early of memories and now you do.

Actually, no I don't. I know many many people with self-reported experiences, which is not the same as anyone with early memories.

I mean, if we're talking purely numbers, I'm guessing that the number of people who report god, divinity or occult experiences far outnumber those who self-report early memories, so it should be completely unsurprising that I am unconvinced of an assertion that has even fewer self-reported positive data than religion and god.

Looking at your other response, I don't understand why you feel my skepticism warrants (what I consider, maybe wrongly) your rather forceful assertions that your worldview is correct.

Would you respond the same way to someone who asserted "Well, I'm skeptical that the Gods of Abrahamic Mythology ever existed"?

Would you really tell someone "You didn't know anyone who experienced the biblical god before, and now you do"?

How is your assertion of "You didn't know about anyone with early memories and now you do" at all different from "You didn't know about anyone who was visited by aliens and now you do"?

Yes and no. The compute density and memory bandwidth is unmatched. But the programming model is markedly worse, even for something like CUDA: you inherently have to think about parallelism, how to organize data, write your kernels in a special language, deal with wacky toolchains, and still get to deal with the CPU and operating system.

There is great power in the convenience of "with open('foo') as f:". Most workloads are still stitching together I/O bound APIs, not doing memory-bound or CPU-bound compute.

Any disparity between the VA and other hospitals is again the result of a deliberate policy choice to undermine government entities. With single payer health care, there wouldn't be such a disparity. And this isn't just a theory. The US is unique with our mostly privatized health care system, yet our health care costs per person are much greater than any other country, our health outcomes are worse than any other country, we have a ton of people who can't get health care, and we have many people bankrupted by medical debt, which is practically nonexistent elsewhere. Empirically, our largely privatized health care system has been a disaster.

In general, we give a lot of lip service to "supporting the troops", but mostly society doesn't give a crap about them after they come home. The only time this was different was during the World Wars period, where a large % of the male population was drafted. Veterans had political power then. Now that our military itself has been largely privatized and made up of volunteers, often themselves looking for financial opportunities, veterans are largely forgotten, except to make oneself feel good by "thanking them for their service". But if they're, say, permanently disabled from wounds? Welp, tough luck.

Here's a heuristic on trust that will make you happy, straight from game theory: use the tit-for-tat method [1].

You assume a person is honest at first, and try to amicably cooperate. Then, if they break the trust, you assume they're simply a snake looking to maximize their personal gain at the expense of others.

The method works best when you can learn the lesson at first for cheap. If you cooperate a few times to get stiffed for a massive amount later, you'd be losing.
