Why would they be in luck? Did you read the article? Just because the efficiency floor is eliminated doesn’t mean production would or even could restart.
This product looks awesome and the mobile app looks exceptional. But if it’s not self-hosted and in some kind of standard format,you’re SOL when the company shuts down. Even though you can export your data, where are you supposed import it to?
Trust me, I do understand all that. My personal set of trade-offs is such that I really can't be bothered with self-hosting.
Capacities has one-click export of all of your objects (notes/pages) with a sensible folder structure that produces markdown with frontmatter and includes all media attachments. That's good enough for me.
They must be overcome by the HN hug of death or something, because their isEmailVerified endpoint is 429-ing, preventing signups. With that level of execution, who could trust them with your most intimate knowledge?
I'd rather use something that works with block device directly, rather than something that depends on the filesystem code and may lead to filesystem corruption and potential for kernel instability. Also it seems like a weird design decision to fill flash with files, when in Linux there's trivial access to block device directly.
It's also possible to write 64bit address of each 8 byte block to every such block, and avoid pseudorandom generator, and potentially have more insight to what happened when the block ends up mapped to unexpected location.
I would have appreciated if there were better captions on the photos rather than repeating “While the public believed the Hughes Glomar Explorer to be a vessel for deep sea mining, CIA was really using the ship to search for a sunken Soviet submarine.”
It was more a referende to the act of boiling water. The observer at that point might not yet know if it's just a correlation or not. Just gathering information.
