Yes, I will be doing that. But thought I will ask the wider community here before proceeding. It will help me avoid problems others have faced.

> What is your use-case?

Want a DB to store highly connected massive graph structure with requirement of auditing and analytics.

> Why do you think RethinkDB would be good for it?

It is a document store, supports changefeed, is distributed and fault-tolerant, supports geospatial types, auto-sharding and can scale horizontally.

That section is only available to YC companies. For everyone else the only option to post jobs is via the "Who is hiring?" thread which is posted on first working day of each month.

This happens because the Indian government does not yet have the infrastructure of NSA and or GCHQ :) They have to demand for the information instead :)

Is this average monthly active users? And over what period?

Linux Kernel source is very good.

Wt[0] source code is also good.

Well, I was interested in preventing others from sniffing the traffic. If I am the app owner or an app user, then anyone on the LAN or shared home network can sniff the traffic.

> watch BBC documentary on this topic from the series "Billion dollar dreams".

It is "Billion dollar deals" and not "Billion dollar dreams" :) I am not able to edit my original comment.

Have you yourself read the book? The book provides massive list of references from all over the world used for researching the topic.

I will give you an example of how the UK manipulates the facts for consumption of its citizens. After Shashi Tharoor's Oxford Union speech went viral, the BBC published an article by a leading UK "historian". This guy claimed that he never "heard" of the UK damaging hands of Indian handloom weavers to destroy the Indian textile industry to promote it's own! This shows how the UK historians write history. I would urge citizens of UK to visit the former colonies of the UK and talk to the locals and get their facts. It is very well known both within the UK historian community and across the world that the UK history is whitewashed to hide lots of misdeeds of the past. Unfortunately that does not help the country to move forward as most of the country still thinks that they did good by occupying other countries.

A scam of top-5%-bottom-5% rule. I hate this stupidity of non-tech people out of business schools who understand zilch about tech companies.

For information on how this rule has affected people, watch BBC documentary on this topic from the series "Billion dollar dreams".

Anyone interested in a very thorough writing on the British occupation of India should read "The Inglorious Empire" by Shashi Tharoor. It is a very well researched work!

> It's not conceivable that we do any significant change to the mass ratios.

You are underestimating humans. Look what we have done to the Earth.

This is baffling to me, Google is promoting PWA and at the same time promoting Flutter for web development and native mobile development!

> Do you mean for card payments, like the card network and authorization flow?

Yes.

This argument is like, "to save the kittens, kill the puppies".

Also, is the Moon really separate from the Earth? What will be the ecological effect on Earth if we start destroying the Moon?

Edit:

For anyone interested in understanding how the Moon affects life on Earth, following articles might help:

"etc" doesn't count :)

> Any other deep-dive guides on fintech/payments that would be helpful for readers here?

How online payments actually work behind the scenes, complete flow from sender to receiver. That deep-dive would be really useful.

Online newspapers have tried it. Only Financial Times has succeeded to some extent. What you are proposing is "nagging paywall" i.e newspapers are using in-or-out type of paywall whereas your suggestion is to keep users nagging with a "whitespace" for payment. One-time payment request has not succeed, why do you think nagging users with blank page every few minutes is going to succeed.

There will be very few content creator who will benefit, most of them won't. This has a massive scalability problem.

A noob question, but why Blockchain is required for this? Why can't this be done with normal databases?

Okay, I need to include this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZorPpz8_EM

It is a comedy, please don't be offended :)

Okay, it is not truly decentralised then.

There is a Hindu mythological story in India about how the elephant god ganpati/gajanan/ganesh(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha) got his elephant head while his body is of a human.

The story goes something like this, Shiva/Shankar/Mahesh(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva) is a god of destruction in Hinduism. When he was out in the forest, his wife Parvati was alone and had to go for a bath. But she was concerned what if some stranger gets into the house while she was bathing. So to prevent anyone getting into the house she removes the layer of sandalwood and turmeric paste she had applied to her body and makes an idol of a boy and puts life into him. As the boy comes to life she instructs him to guard the house and not let anyone enter while his mother(Parvati) is having a bath.

Her husband returns after a while. Parvati is still in the bath. And as he tries to enter the house, the boy prevents him from doing so saying that his mother has instructed him not to let anyone inside the house. Shiva, known for his temper, gets angry and throws his weapon, trishul(trident), at the boy which chops off his head and it falls somewhere in the forest. Parvati, when she returns from her bath sees the headless body of her son and gets angry at Shiva and demands that he bring the boy back to life. But there is a problem, the head is missing. So Shiva goes in search of the head into the forest but he is unable to find it. So when he sees an elephant in the forest, he chops off the head of the animal and attaches it to the boys body and puts life back into it. That is how people of HN, the Hindu god Ganpati got his elephant head :)

Now, did I mention this is a mythological story? So please be kind to this gentle soul. I only narrated this story because it includes the concept of bathing :D

There are lot of such stories in Indian mythology where there is mention of bathing.

This relies on public-key cryptography? If that is the case, then who is responsible for maintaining the private key? If that responsibility is with the user, then what happens if the user loses the private key? Does the user loses the identity as well? Is there a way to recover that?

One of the episodes of the BBC's "Billion Dollar Deals" series talked about how the anti-depressants were pushed on to the masses by the drug companies, even to people who did not require it.

> May I ask why CouchDB though? Is it for the offline support?

Yeah, that is the intention. Have not checked if PouchDB can be used with Flutter.

> With React Native you have the option of deploying OTA updates

How is this done? Any documentation, tutorial or example that you can point to?

> this allows you to deploy fixes and basic updates without going through the app store review process.

Does Apple and Google allow this?

SMS can be replied publicly? :) I was expecting a comparison with Twitter :)

Off topic, but how does Tencent manage to enable installing "mini-apps" within its own mobile app? Does Apple and Google not object to it?
