> the wider the key, the better the improvement Good point, I think it would be nice to add it to the docs. Maybe with part numbers of goods as an example - in typical OLTP DB they are variable width strings, mostly read-heavy, unique (n

I was talking about India, Mongolia, Vietnam, and other Asian countries where you can literally drive home from China. I wonder would it be restricted to sell to China citizens only - it wouldn't help though.

This is especially confusing to use 'server-less' buzzword (meaning 'on the bunch of servers in The Cloud') wrt messengers and p2p things where things could be actually serverless.

You're right, but I mean there's no messenger problem at all for vast majority of the people, and privacy and security aren't features people tend to choose over any other feature.

Are you kidding? It's like "Blackberry is better than iPhone once again, finally losing the keyboard". The main and only distinctive feature of Firefox was programmability (XUL, XPCOM), and now it's gone. There are forks
