Nobody in industry understood how to apply Calvin until we did at Fauna. That is the only reason; the rest is engineering path dependence.

Optional write-time validations are on the roadmap. FaunaDB does enforce unique constraints via indexes already. FaunaDB is temporal as well and people don't really enjoy migrating the past, so it has to be a little different than a tr

It's the write transaction latency from that region. Fauna is a global database and data always commits to multiple global regions for durability. As you can see, the write latency is pretty consistent regardless of source region, unli

Go go 8base team! I met them at GraphQL Berlin and was really impressed by their product. Fills an important hole in the JAMstack ecosystem.

You mean the joint venture between Microsoft and Sybase that led to SQL Server? This was legal, soup to nuts.

This was a big value point for Twitter in the early days (2008 and 2009 era). Identity is fluid.

I wonder if you could do this with an HDFury Vertex or Integral. All the hardware is there (including dealing with HDCP), but I don't think they have devkits available that would let you add features to the firmware.

As someone who has owned both the Leaf and the Model S I agree with this. The only value of the Leaf was it was a very inexpensive but embarrassing way to get a carpool lane sticker in the Bay Area. It could not drive at highway speed for a
