If I’m building a system that needs a full audit trail, what exactly am I gaining from your approach vs just doing insert-only rows with metadata (version, timestamp, user etc)? I mean, besides a nicer UI?

Also, when you say “immutable, off-host” — are we talking like another SQL Server instance on a diff machine? Or something else entirely?

And can this be queried directly with SQL too? Or is it locked behind some API/UI?

Was expecting a product I can try out. But still, not disappointed.

This is super cool and I would love to try it out. We use SEMrush and they are basically charging us +$1000 dollar for the basic plan, with every other feature as an add-on for addition $200 - $400.

Question: Do you have (or plan to provide) features like -

-- Questions around the seed keywords

-- Keyword exports for external analysis with details like volume, difficulty, etc,

-- Can I tag keywords if I save them in a particular list?

In my work, I do SEO research almost every day and have a very extensive keyword strategy. So above features are what's keeping me stick to SEMrush.

I am from marketing, so maybe I don't really understand the technical value here but how is it different than me opening a new Google doc?

I currently have a single doc file that I use like notes, as soon as I type "note" in my address bar, my browser automatically fills in the rest of the URL for the file (since I open is frequently).

The Doc file allows me to paste images, add links, or anything else essential for note taking. I don't need to save, or find the URL from browser history. Simply type and close.

For any new file, I can type Doc.new. It will work the same way.

Please explain how is it different?

You're right. Most are design patents. Only 10.75% are utility patents.

Oh, okay. Yes it makes sense.

Will share this ahead as well. Thank you.

Hello nullptr,

Thanks for sharing feedback about website and content. I will share it ahead with the authors. I think it wasn't their intention to advertise Apple here but if it is feeling like an advertisement, then they sure can improve they way they have portrayed this analysis.

About their internal tool. I would be open to share your feedback about this as well if you share it with me.

Would be open to hear feedback from other readers too. Please reply to my comment and I can share it ahead. Thanks.

Hello ChrisMarshallNY,

I know the author, thanks for sharing your views. I will share your feedback ahead. I do not think their intention is to advertise Apple because most of their articles are on analysis based on patent data.

This opening, “I appreciate you sharing this with me”, in rebuttal template -2 is a great negotiation tactic. This sentence takes off the guilt of saying a no from the speaker’s conscience (who happens to be a buyer) and suddenly puts him into a much favourable position where he has helped the seller.

Microsoft patented the way to power these data centers using tidal energy in ocean itself. They patented in 2017.

Oh yes, that could be a case. Pretty impressive though.

Still quite interesting if it becomes a reality.

Let's see what other thinks.

Can you give me example. I never noticed this but then again, I haven't used Siri as much.

Someone once said "Patents have become a kind of currency now".

It's sad to see that people are scaling innovation using only patents.

You're right on both side. Parents are currency when it comes to occupying a market or deterring competitors.

This is exactly what every body mentioned upon hearing Elon's comment on flying cars.

There is a huge margin of mistake between a human driver and a self-drive car.

This seems quite obvious now, looking at how much Qualcomm is involved in IoT.

I'm surprised to hear that LG is leading Intel though.

Make exactly one sale of an app per person, ever, regardless of the number of devices they own, how often the app has been updated since they last used it, and so on. This also teaches customers that they’re entitled to come back to a free app at any point in the future, no matter how long ago they paid for it.

And

Ideally, make exactly one sale of an app per family. This reinforces the commodification of software; it’s to be shared around.

From a consumer perspective, I whole heartedly agree with author.

I own 3 devices, 1 is android and other 2 are Iphones. I never noticed how damaging this could be for developers to have their work sold for the price of one when most of the people use them on multiple devices.

Update part also makes sense, an application built 3 years ago has come a long way since then and have taken thousands of work hours for maintainance and updates.
