Nice! This is a much simpler decision tree. Google uses column-oriented as their primary database, but you're probably right that unless at massive scale, it only makes sense as a secondary data store (e.g. data warehouse)

I created something like this for PostgreSQL. It's a Node.js service that implements the MongoDB wire protocol and converts the query to use jsonb. It works pretty well, but it also got increasingly hard to make it compatible because MongoDB has a lot of quirks.

Author here. I like the Mongo query interface so I originally wrote some of the conversion code for my API framework called expressa. Then I created this project largely to see if it were possible. I'm not really sure how this will be useful. Migrating data should be relatively easy with Mongo's db.copyDatabase() since it thinks it's just copying from one Mongo to another.

Thanks for bringing this up. Currently there's no migration process. Like Mongo, Expressa only ensures validity of new data, but doesn't change old data so it's up to the application to handle that.
This is definitely something I would like to eventually support though so that renaming fields and other data changes are easy.
One of the main features is that it provides an admin interface which lets you modify your data as well as your collection schema. I got tired of Django, keystone and other CMS that require defining schema in code and have found this to be a good solution for my projects.

Cool idea but it's sad that it only works on tagged content

I'm wondering the exact same thing.
My guess is there's some provision in the "Family Entertainment and Copyright Act" that they think makes this streaming legal. The text clearly makes the displaying an edited version legal and does talk about transmitted works.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/110.
The key point is in (11). the following are not infringements of copyright: "the making imperceptible, by or at the direction of a member of a private household, of limited portions of audio or video content of a motion picture, during a performance in or transmitted to that household for private home viewing, from an authorized copy of the motion picture"

Anyone have any ideas on the performance impact of this vs a typical NodeJS installation? I imagine there's a lot more overhead from starting up the process each time. A pretty cool idea but seems like this loses the benefits of NodeJS, speed and scalability.
Dropbox and Google docs rarely if even show up in Google search results.
Will PDFy submit lists of content to search engines or be easily crawlable?
You're right about the problem, your solution is off.
> It doesn’t matter if retailers don’t accept the coin, users can just exchange the coins for bitcoins or local fiat currency for immediate real world use.
No entity would give fiat currency for these SocialCoins unless they had some real or speculative value.
> The basic idea is that 10% of the profits that miners earn from mining this coin is pooled and distributed to every member of the network on a bi-weekly basis.
Are these "profits" from inflation or a transaction fees?
