    We can only guess what products you use, but I'll take a stab by naming some big ones: Spotify - https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spotify-says-its-best-deve... Netflix - https://w…

    I think the argument still applies on a shorter timescale. The child mortality rate in the US fell from 26 per thousand in 1970 to 7 in 2020 [1]. It seems reasonable that some port…

    Sony was a major investor in Spotify, reportedly worth $1.5B at IPO[1]. I'm not sure how much stock they've held since then. [1] https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/sonys-stake-…

    I mostly agree with what you said but > Power plants are still the leading emitter, full stop. is not true, at least not regionally. In Massachusetts, for example, power is 20% of …

    That's a new regulation passed in December that doesn't take effect until April. At the moment, there is no cooling off period.

    A cup of cauliflower is about 25 calories. A 2 pound head of cauliflower is 224 calories, only about 10% less than the burger.

    We still need to add the format to our docs, but it's essentially: prefix + base64(len_encode(metadata) + len_encode(key_tag) + aes_encrypt(data)) So definitely possible to decrypt…

    Thanks, appreciate it!

    It depends on the use case. In our experience, it's been rare that queries on PII need to do anything more complex than substring matching (which we're working on support for). We'…

    Totally agree. We're likely going to implement a partially homomorphic solution that allows for some specific queries. We aren't trying to build a general purpose computational env…

    Tonic is awesome! We think of synthetic data/differential privacy as a different use case - trying to replicate data across scoped environments while preserving certain properties …

    A manual rotation is one click on the web page, and we can automatically rotate on a schedule to limit the scope of a compromise if a key gets leaked. Full rekeying is Coming Soon™…

    Thanks! Some databases have encryption support but it is either coarse (row-level encryption is offered in a few databases for example) or it's a low level construct that becomes r…

    Yeah, the mix of permissions can definitely be a big pain. We're building with that in mind - policy exceptions can be set so that specific groups of applications get the raw data …

    Our engine is self-hosted, so all of the data is kept local to your network and we can't read any of it. Concerns about data access and query latency are the two biggest reasons we…

    Thanks! The plugin is pretty nice if you're sticking to just Prisma for your backends. Always happy to chat about your use case or give a demo of how JumpWire compares if you're in…

    Glad to hear you like our approach! We haven't fully solved indexing/complex querying yet. We have two modes we can operate in - directly encrypting in the database, or doing just-…

    The short answer is we haven't fully solved it yet. We have two modes we can operate in - directly encrypting in the database, or doing just-in-time encryption as the query results…

    The value prop is definitely very similar. I'm not as familiar with Voltage as I am with other solutions, but my understanding is that it requires either using the Voltage database…

    We have thought about that! It's a nice approach for some use cases but having just a read-only copy ends up being pretty limiting. Often people using internal tools (particularly …
