It seems we can build a product ourselves in the same time it would take us to talk to saas vendors and draft the RFP/requirements. We can build it and iterate as the requirements are being forged, so can essentially have completed software with just the features we care about, with full ability to add features in future (something saas doesn’t promise) often before an implementation would even kick off. We’re searching through all our SaaS products and i expect we’ll cut 50% of them in 1-2 years. The ones that are sufficiently complex or regulated have some protection (like accounting systems).

Even 1 second transaction speed sounds slow today but if it’s replacing a 90 minute manual process I’d rather have that solution now than a microsecond fast solution that takes 5-10 years.

Nowhere on here am I seeing how covid caused a spike up, that’s what you said though and signifying our differences in reading the chart that was shown.

I’m not seeing anything I can call a Covid spike

Following the rules of the fund and being index is one thing. Sitting silently as this pump and dump is designed to fleece your clients, is something entirely different.

> Starting May 1, 2026, Nasdaq rules allow large IPOs (e.g., top 40 market cap) to join the Nasdaq-100 Index within 15 trading days. This forces index-tracking funds to buy new shares, often at inflated valuations shortly after listing, a "fast entry" rule designed for mega-IPOs like SpaceX or OpenAI

Disagree. Buyers of index funds should care about fiduciary and waste. This is what this seems like at this price. Granted, I’d be more concerned if the fund manager was buying it without a requirement to. The issue still remains about why are we paying so much for this stock? Make it make sense?

Fossil evidence exists pointing towards large eagles scooping up 3-5 year olds. It’s been a long time since we had to think of our toddlers safety the same way we think of a lap dogs.

But why? My guess is the liability exposure is what they’re trying to control. So you probably can if you’re ok with no liability. It’s still noncompliant to how they wrote it but I would guess it’s the motivation. Unless they really just want to force the UK to pay for all commercial uses, which I suppose is possible.

Are you aware of what LinkedIn is? How the app behaves?

While it’s obscene, I am not surprised at all.

But it always seemed to me that the UI should run locally with encryption keys that are shared and the service just manages encrypted blobs of diffs that can roll from version to version of encrypted data and that’s about it. Granted I probably don’t know the full workflow, i typically am a single dev on simple projects where I don’t need 99% of the overhead these introduce.
