Or maybe Oracle.

It will be interesting to see how this works out in practice. Personally I don't see much use from it, but I'll give it a try after it ships and see how it works in practice.

Seems like we are trying to solve 2 problems at the same time with SCROLL: * Database sync of log events. * "Real" time updates. Webhooks can already mostly handle the "real-time" …

Depends on the VC. Some VC's are happy to own great businesses, even long term. Most are definitely vultures after a quick turn around. Mostly it has to do with where the VC gets t…

Yes, though it wouldn't have to be in Python. APE/Cosmopolitan can work with many/most languages, not just Python.

My advice: Just use SQLite. Don't use PG if you don't need it. I mean PG is awesome . I use it all the time, but I also use SQLite all the time too. SQLite is also a replacement fo…

Yes, I'm sure the WASM binary for PG has a big perf hit. If you are just using it for testing, it probably doesn't matter? Why does the perf hit matter to you? Are you trying to ru…

> The important distinction is that self-contained doesn’t mean one binary that runs everywhere...does it? That's what Cosmopolitan/APE does though, and they deliver a python: * So…

Not PG no. At least not yet. I wonder if they can get WASM to work, which seems to be working roughly the same problem from a totally different starting point and perspective. I'm …

There is also the APE/Cosmopolitan cross platform binaries, which includes a python. Yes, cross platform binaries. The binaries run "natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + O…

Neat, I haven't heard of/tried NetBird yet. Always more stuff out there to tinker with!

Interesting! I use it only occasionally, but I don't leave the connection on. I only turn the iOS Tailscale connection on when I need to access resources behind Tailscale. Are you …

> And we only use Tailscale as a glorified VPN, we don't use their hundreds of extra random features like this SSH one. Same, you are not alone. The Tailscale VPN stuff just works.…

That generally turns out to be the same thing as me, just said more succinctly. I agree with your thinking.

Sort of True-ish. There are lots of different kinds of ownership. Ownership with little to no say in how things are run to ownership with basically all the control. If you are an o…

It's hilarious reading! :)

It's an interesting way to apply for the eBay CEO job for sure.

They almost certainly need fans on the outside of the building to cool the 55C water back down to 45C. But correct, no fans on the servers themselves or even in the building. Excep…

LOL exactly, It was not meant in seriousness :) Clearly the engineering team didn't know ahead of time that Electrify America would be the end result of dieselgate. Had they known,…

That was just engineers engineering their way into creating Electrify America :)

> Recovery rates are on average about 45-55% (since 1987 according to research by S&P). Exactly.

Indeed. Category #4 "high yield corporate bonds" are also known as "Junk bonds" because they kind of suck at the stable cashflow part, since they tend to go to $0 sometimes, much l…

While partially true, that "If you have better behavioral tolerance for volatility" is HUGE. Most people can not do this. Once they see their net worth go from $x to $x/2 or worse,…

Very different risk profiles. Bonds are about steady cash flow, not about total return. "stable" dividend stocks are almost never really stable when the financial world crashes.

Their definition of long run and your definition of long run are probably different. Also, it should be noted, just because it's the optimal to have the most $'s that shouldn't be …
