(Polytomic co-founder here) We automatically do the right thing depending on the situation. The type engine is highly-precise when we generate our own schema. For example, JSON objects and arrays get converted to native struct and array typ

No. Unfortunately wielding them is always an act of either ignorance or malice.

iMessage and FaceTime Audio are also free.

I don’t as I don’t know the numbers, but note also the US is a rich country.

Nobody uses iMessage outside the US, by choice, even in iPhone-dominated markets. So clearly it's possible to avoid it. US iPhone users have the same choice.

2.6 billion WhatsApp users exist. All switched from native SMS to a third-party app (WhatsApp). Clearly this expectation is fine.

I do this every day using WhatsApp.

I've been in data and analytics for over a decade and co-founded a consolidated-ETL company ( https://www.polytomic.com ). Nice to see Tristan realising this (people should be commended for changing their minds). There were t

Do you know why this didn't apply regarding JetBlue trying to acquire Spirit?

They do affect me - non-technical members of my family are on iPhones and I’m glad they can’t install malware by accident. More generally, I don’t believe I nor anyone else should mandate anything about a private software company’s product

Sure, but that's not the case with Apple. There are a number of smartphone manufacturers (even 'Android' isn't one category - there are many variants) and there aren't many laws preventing new entries into the marke

You can switch vendors any time (e.g. to Samsung, LG, Google, or any other Android/Microsoft variants). That's not the same as governments - that feedback loop is way longer. Especially with something as sprawling as the European

That's clearly not the world most consumers want, otherwise they would have directed their money towards Android in the early days. They didn't. For the minority who do want this world, again, there is a laundry list of Android va

Consumers are indeed able to decide for themselves: they can buy any number of Android phones from many manufacturers for a different experience.

For the ingesting bit, we (Polytomic) have an API you can use: https://www.polytomic.com/connect .

What’s the problem here? Seems like you found fine alternatives.

Understood - thanks!

Ah, I get it now. Thank you!

Is anyone successfully running LSH in production? The technique seemed promising ten years ago but I'm not sure if reality matched that...

We (www.polytomic.com) have an on-premise offering in parallel with our hosted version. It's worked out fine for us (of course there are tradeoffs but for us they're manageable). Definitely requires an investment by people who kno

It’s not easy to start successful ventures. Most new ventures fail. Even the best VCs only have a 30% success rate.

by gms 3y ago
Yes, completely unregulated would lead to that. We need laws to protect against coercion and adjudicate in the case of disagreements between parties. Warring tribes where physical force wins is not a good place to be.

You have it backwards. Regulation has gone up a lot over the last two decades which is why you're seeing what you're seeing. Historically in America or current day in developing countries, the rate of growth in living standards ne

I would like to see a list of costs of these regulations. Lina Khan never mentions it. Again there may be a fundamental lack of rigour that causes her to lose her cases so absolutely. Yes, you point to another fundamental problem: central p

Then a new entrant will surface in the market, as happens in all such situations when there’s a free market.
