Their hosting costs are crazy for such low usage (I assume since they say no one is being paid that the entirety of their expenses is marketing and tech and 25% of that is infra sp…

Nearly $300 seems a bit too rich for my blood - will definitely buy one second hand once I can get one for about $100.

Unsurprising - people don’t pay, and their audience is perhaps a bit more likely to use Adblock, not to mention the decline in news in general.

What could go wrong?

You’re getting downvoted but I agree. I didn’t see the value and stopped after a while of paying. It is sad that basically any comment that isn’t pro-Kagi is downvoted but I guess …

A smaller competitor wants and advocates for itself. Makes sense but is it really surprising? It would be strange otherwise. I do wonder how far one can get charging for search.

It’s really not. It’s just inconvenient.

The title and FTA are true but the economics for a startup is tricky. One of the spectrum is true bare metal - setting up a data center, space, power, cooling and all of that. Next…

Looking at the sheer number of rows isn’t really helpful - you’d need to know the query profile. Any database can simply store a billion rows.

You do not have to denormalize data to use dynamodb, just like how data doesn’t have to be normalized to use a relational DB. Man people have no clue what they’re talking about lol…

Your math is wrong… and it cannot be assumed that traffic is uniformly spread. Finally what you’re saying is orthogonal to MongoDB - you can self host Mongo on a raspberry pi.

You can store normalized information. What you’re saying is still wrong. With respect to schema you can use Atlas Schema. If you’re not really familiar you shouldn’t make these com…

It is still true that vanilla Postgres doesn’t scale well beyond multiple machines. There are extensions that help, though.

Use what you know, ship useful stuff.

You can still download via APK hosted on their website, no (like the FTA says, and provides a link)? Isn’t that want folks want - to not have to go through the gatekeeper, aka Play…

I’m curious - have you ever taught in a public school?

Fact of the matter is that SQLite shouldn’t be used in a non embedded context. There’s a reason people use Postgres. There are some neat things you can do with it like using HTTP r…

Slightly relevant - do people really want article recommendations? I don’t think I’ve ever read an article and wanted a recommendation. Even with this one - I sort of read it and t…

That’s been resolved for a long time now (not to say that MongoDB is perfect, though).

Why would you compare bottom US to only Western Europe? Also, do you have a source on your claim? I’m skeptical that the US bottom 10% have it worse than “most or even almost all p…

“Global climate model”

Nine months ago (BLR)

I’m curious how you can definitely say it came from a LLM

So? Doesn’t contradict what I said and even supports it if you read it…
