Funnily enough, Denmark is a few places below France in "ethnic fractionalization", yet somehow, racists worldwide insist that France has become a shithole because of immigration.
With my font, the letter l looked like a vertical bar |. Hence why this looked like symbol soup. But okay, let's say it's about projective spaces. Then surely, you realize that the equal sign still denotes equality. The point [1:2] is literally equal to [2:4] in P^2, not "proportional". Perhaps you need a refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_class#quotient_set
It's not.

That's not all it can do.
> HaystackDB is designed from the ground up for write intensive workloads
Okay.
> so it’s much more economical than existing off-shelf-solutions for that type of workload.
That's a leap in logic. Just because you designed it with this workload in mind, well, doesn't automatically mean that it's any good for this workload (or any workload). If solving a problem was as easy as declaring "I will design my solution from the ground up for this problem", then we'd all live in peace and harmony. So that's what people are asking you here: how do you make your DB "much more economical" for that type of workload? What technology, what ideas have you had to make it possible? If you don't want to reveal that, then you need proof that it's better than the competition, not a declaration, that it's better than the competition.
> Is that not clear from the landing page?
It's clear that you want to market your solution as something good for write-heavy workloads. Why should we believe you've done a good job designing your solution?
> From pricing: “$0.2 per million writes, $20 per million reads”. The typical cost profile is $2 per million read/writes, or even more for writes.
Who knows how you came up with pricing? Perhaps you're betting on your customers being stupid and not realizing that taking a 10x hit on the price of reads will lose them (and earn you) more money in the long run. After all, what good is writing to a DB if you never read from it...? Or perhaps it's some kind of promotional / loss leader pricing that will change soon in the future. In any case, it's, again, not proof that your solution is adapted to the customer's problem.
> Something that cannot decide what the law is
Good thing the EU parliament decides what the law is, then.
> The European Parliament has legislative power in that the adoption of EU legislation normally requires its approval, and that of the Council, in what amounts to a bicameral legislature. However, it does not formally possess the right of initiative (i.e. the right to formally initiate the legislative procedure) in the way that most national parliaments of the member states do, as the right of initiative is a prerogative of the European Commission.[7][8] Nonetheless, the Parliament and the Council each have the right to request the Commission to initiate the legislative procedure and put forward a proposal.[9]
