Between this and your comment above, it restores a little faith in humanity that there are people out there who honestly want to make their work as good as possible and not paper over cracks.
- manigandham 8y agoIf you're talking about funding, many of the recent analyses were funded by the company whose product is being tested. Most companies do this kind of testing internally but it's good to pay for the recognized expertise and thorough process of jepsen.

Yes, but having it published so that everyone sees the actual results without sugar coating or outright ignoring problems is what I meant. I didn't mean that the testing itself was unique, but people funding research and letting the researcher publish it is. (OK, "unique" is much too strong as that's what much of Jepsen does, but I feel like whenever I'm watching the news and there's a public health study talking about how good or not bad X is, it was often funded by an X industry group and reading more about it find it subject to a lot of issues.)
- mrjn 8y agoThank you! This is the best acknowledgment of our work I've seen so far. A lot of blood, sweat, hairs, frustrations, and tears has gone into building Dgraph -- and this comment by you makes me feel proud of what we're building, and the community of people using it.
- beagledude 8y agoI'll echo that as well. You all are doing it right!
