Ive been a paying customer (off their Sync feature, the rest is free) for more than one year. I love this software and use it everyday. Congrats and keep up the great work :)

Echoing @brickbrd this was new to me too, thanks for explaining.

I have thought a bit about this myself (although others here seem to know a lot more) so Ill give my 2 cents: - it already works w/o P2P, Youtube has worked pretty well for 15+ years as client-server. If you have Google scale, it wouldn't make sense not to use it - Installing software is a harder onboarding than opening a website (I think you'd need more than a browser for this?) - security implications of P2P? - the biggest one for me: Ignoring internet technology concerns, its an extremely hard distributed systems problem with Byzantine concerns, nodes coming and going at any time, where to store unpopular videos?

I hadn't even thought about the telemetry concerns (how do you sell ads efficiently?).

What about Youtube? Im surprised to not see them mentioned in any of the comments under yours. For all their faults, I regularly am recommended amazing(ly interesting to me) videos.

Yes, every example is "I sounded stupid but I was actually correct". From the title I thought the article was going to be about not being afraid to learn new things.

>Even so, given the high degree of Delta variant contagiousness, a combination of vaccination and acquired immunity should drive down pandemic measures substantially by November.

I didnt find this distasteful.

but how will I make principal if we dont build our own in-house NoSQL database? :)

Wow I was unaware of that.

Its been a very long time since reading or watching something has made my blood boil like it is right now.

That is low quality comparison.

Whether or not you agree with the high goals of the (US?) military; for a great many people it is a solid career, a role model they never had, and possibly a stepping stone out of an awful life. Also a very small percentage of these are actually fighting in infantry risking their lives.

This is much different than saying "Ooh youre 18 now, look how much money these 3 people make selling their naked videos! And there is absolutely no consequence at all to this, for you or your society!"

>well if you are foolish enough to pay markup on items that you could order yourself directly from AliExpress that's your own problem.

if you are foolish enough to not spend lots of time on entrepreneurship/startup blogs to know all about drop shipping then shame on you dummy!

I can confirm that starting in a mega corp during Covid wfh was (and continues to be) awful.
