The API should definitely either allow directly managing indexes or provide even lower level primitives that let the query engine create its own indexes.

I hope using an embeddable database will also free us from delegating the choice of query language to the database library. It should be possible to have a general purpose low level persistence API and many different query engines built on

Price discrimination is only good as long as rich people are paying more. But rich people are on average better at knowing how to pay less.

So company A gambled that they can turn around company B in 12 months or go bankrupt? Sounds like whoever decided to buy didn't do their due diligence.

I'd expect the reaction time to be better when the event is unambiguous. So a church bell tolling noon would work, but a randomly chosen swing of a pendulum wouldn't.
