appreciate this, the faster we get to cheap commoditization, the better
what do most people care? Sure some are scared of Alexa listening into your life, but look at all the smart TVs that people invite in, agreeing in the billion word EULA that its ok to listen to things we say to target us with whatever ads. I'm 99% sure my Samsung TV has been listening to me where I'll get some pretty creepy, and by creepy I mean precise, targeting ads to something I never even searched on my devices, but spoke in a conversation about in my kitchen.
Hope they got a good rate for it at least, unlike the BS where car companies sold data for pennies to insurance companies on driver behaviour.
nice work, sounds like a decent niche to tap into for the right clients

Really glad Kenton chimed in there, as it wasn't clear in the docs and I was about to implement a similar pseudo transaction pattern as this.

Pretty excited about this tech, it really flips the script on the concept of a DB per user / sharding approach which used to be costly at the schema/physical db level.

lol, leopards, faces
