If you could somehow collate the collective mental map of an entire living species of fish, which would have the most complete map of the oceans, particularly including caves and the deep?
São Tomé and Príncipe is launching a new citizenship by investment program in September 2025. At an estimated cost of $90k and a processing time of six weeks, it's set to be the fastest and most affordable option available. We've been tracking this since the legislation passed and have a detailed breakdown of the new National Transformation Fund and application process. Join our waitlist for updates and an early application window.
Hey HN! After years of watching startups struggle with enterprise data tools, we're building something different.<p>The gist: Natural language → production data pipelines. Built on Arrow, WebAssembly, and CRDTs for real-time collaboration.
But here's what matters: A PM can type "analyze user cohort retention" and get a working pipeline. No DAGs, no YAML, no suffering.<p>Happy to answer technical questions. Yes, it handles backpressure. Yes, exactly-once semantics. Yes, you can drop down to code when needed.
What data pipeline are you putting off building because it's too much hassle?
There was a time we offloaded a lot of business logic to the database server. Well, it was the only server "up" so it felt like it was ok.<p>So we piled on a ton of business logic on the database server. Triggers, stored procedures, you name it, we did it. And then it dawned on us that the code that lives in the database server extremely is unmaintainable - or MS decided to stop pursuing the "SQL server is where everything lives" strategy. Not sure, bit of a blur.<p>But, we still offload some logic to the database in the form of constraints, most popular one being the foreign key constraint.<p>In 15+ years of professional programming, I can't remember a time DB constraints protected a system I was working on. Almost 99% of the time, DB constraints pop up when I am making changes to my local environment, and the 1% was when there was a fire, and I had to make changes to a prod database in an urgent fashion. I never saw a log line that indicated DB constraints to be a useful protection.<p>And then there is the NoSQL world where obviously life goes on without these constraints and no one is trying to port foreign key constraints to NoSQL.<p>I feel like DB constraints are relic from a bygone era and the requirements that necessitated DB constrains are long gone.<p>Do you agree or am I going crazy?
