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 specifically, but it’s hard to tell since its last months and

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.

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 that’s the Reddit-ification of this site. Most people who co

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 step might be colocation. The other end of the spectrum mig

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 comparisons IMO.

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

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 Store?

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 range queries to query it directly from object store or Lites

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 that’s it; no feeling of wanting recommendations. Am I alone

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 people from Western Europe”

Interesting - from my time in India most kids don’t even have reliable access to internet and electricity and are very unlikely to be using khan academy to begin with

1. Not technically open source since you can’t use for commercial, but ignoring the pedantry. 2. You’re clearly worried about the commercial risk, why even do it? You have a section on this but even after reading - seems like a non answer.

> I disagree. There is no such thing as a societal oversupply of educated people. I disagree with this assessment. You don’t need everyone to have a phd. There’s education and there’s Education. With respect to the article, sure it’s gre

The irony is that the world where AI could reasonably explain and teach any level of math is the same world where most of such graduates would be unemployed anyways. You’re already seeing oversupply of educated folks in India and China. Gra

The real irony is people from the EU frequenting a forum enabled by American Capitalism and likely using an operating system made by American capitalists. Why not use one of the many EU mastodon instances, with Maemo and exclusively open so
