I never understood these types of things, what niche are they going after?

This feels like it could be a competitor to QT, but without a real-time operating system like QNX, what's the point?

React Native won out over Fluter, Java Applets lost to HTML5 / JS, Framer is much better than Wordpress.

Time and time again, clever simulations on top of the native world are never worth it.

supabase has the most schizoid brand. They should just embrace the fact that mobile devs don't want to do backend for their crud app rather than trying to be the "everything backend".

why are they releasing a web component library when React Native doesn't even have a decent UI library? Like who are supabase's customers again??

If 23andMe is bounded by the legal system - why shouldn't we trust them the same way we trust Dropbox not to sell our personal files?

No one has been able to explain this to me.

Like so what. Fist, when your engineering philosophy causes collateral damage (debris, damaged property) then other people do not have to accept it with "oh, therefore it is cool".

What collateral damage? Didn't the whole thing burn up on re-entry? Do you know how much meteorite material burns up in the earth's atmosphere every day?

And second, avoidable failure is still avoidable failure.

huh? we're talking about risk profile and development velocity
