I like how it's posted to a twitter URL. Lack of caps really grinds on you by the end. Anyway not unexpected.

I hoped the article would be be a meta-discussion of "time" and perhaps relativity or some other phenomenon. Sigh, it's an investment thesis saying "This Time is Different" is a risky bet.

A mix of perspectives in here that feel inter-related. The maker movement state-side leaned more "fun or artsy" while the real maker movement you could argue was thriving in China. Another darker way of looking at it is: if the ma

So it's driving global economic growth just not US if you choose to exclude imports. Got it. Headline should be focused on economics of infrastructure build out. As framed it's too broad

Maybe if you're being pedantic but let's assume they generate $1B to $3B in payments revenue on top of that non payments ARR. I don't see why you'd assume the former isn't likely to grow and so you might as well th

Thank you for saying this. It reminds me of class tests where you always had to wonder if something was a trick question and you never really knew... it was always after the teacher. Which frankly is fine in open-ended questions where you c

Fair. I guess I'm remembering the old full service wash places where people would wash the inside as well. Maybe those barely exist anymore. I live in a city and don't have a car so my intuition is off. Not as far off as a model t

Are you referring to one that is more like a drive-thru where you literally pay while you're in line?

What I find odd about all the discourse on this question is that no one points out that you have to get out of the car to pay a desk agent at least in most cases. Therefore there's a fundamental question of whether it's worth driv

AI is group think. Group think makes you boring. But then the same can be said about mass culture. Why do we all know Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, etc? when there were countless others who came before them and after th

Understood: that's great for your customers' EDP negotiations with their cloud providers!

That 400TB in the image is a large database! I'm guessing that's not the largest in the PlanetScale fleet either. Very impressive and a reminder that you're strongly differentiated against some of the recent database upstarts

Worth underlining that this is data migrations from one database server or system to another rather than schema migrations

If you've not lived in a Muslim country: one of the most beautiful sounds is the gentle morning call to prayer... as if optimized to enter dreams without waking you. Let's hope it's a year of peace including freedom from the

Incredibly interesting. Amazing to think at the very moment Europe was entering the Dark Ages, the Vikings were starting to raid, and Muhammad was having his visions, this civilization had built something comparable to what the Roman Empire

Is this a service, a github repo, something else? did you forget to include a link? have you considered a service that does the opposite?

What is this site? A view into X or a new social media site?

To confirm I have the option to run essentially the whole stack on my own in my own hardware if I so choose? That's the ultimate unlock of Open Source trust and no lock-in. Makes it much easier for me to adopt you if you have that

Genuinely curious in what situation would you actually want transactional consistency in the same session as you are doing analytical or vector retrieval style use cases? I might make the argument that paying the tax of delivering what you&

I'd be curious to know simply how large the thermal radiator necessary to keep a typical GPU server cooled would be. Do they completely dwarf the server size? Can you do something with some esoteric material that is not particularly l
