  @distributedkv Once compute is available we will leave this current token war setup. This is much like the AOL charge by the minute internet back in the 90's. Then some brave souls that where smaller just said unlimited internet for 20 bucks a month. Then the communication companies offered DSL and access to the service for $50 a month. More than likely we will have some small data centers maybe 10 racks serving a neighborhood. Do you really need 2 trillion perimeters to write posts, summarize emails?

  A programmer built a database because software on a US Navy destroyer could not afford to lose its connection. Today that tiny database sits inside every iPhone, Android phone, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and most people have never heard his name. His name is D. Richard Hipp. The database is SQLite. In 2000, Hipp was helping build software for the USS Oscar Austin, a guided-missile destroyer. The program helped sailors respond when the ship was damaged. If a pipe burst, it could find the valves sailors needed to close, the other valves they needed to open, and exactly where each one was located. During a real attack, this could mean smoke, flooding, broken pipes, and people trying to keep the ship alive. All that information was stored inside an Informix database. When the database server worked, everything was fine. But sometimes the server went down. Sailors would open the damage-control program and get a message saying it could not connect to the database. Hipp’s team did not control the server. They still got blamed because their software showed the error. Hipp started asking a simple question: Why did the program need a database server at all? It only needed to read information from the ship’s computer. Why could it not pull that data directly from the disk? Then government funding paused, leaving Hipp without contract work for a few months. So he built the database himself. SQLite had no separate server to connect to. No administrator had to keep it running. The entire database could live inside one file, and the application could read that file directly. If the computer was working, the database was working. The Navy kept Informix as its official system, but Hipp’s team began using SQLite for development and testing. Then Hipp released it on the internet. Someone managed to run a full SQL database on a Palm Pilot. Motorola called and paid him to improve it for a new phone operating system. AOL wanted it because it needed a database small enough to fit on its installation CDs. Then Mozilla, Symbian, Adobe, Google, and countless other companies followed. When Android began shipping SQLite on millions of phones, users found bugs Hipp had never seen before. So he spent about a year working 60-hour weeks to bring it up to aviation-style testing standards. Today SQLite estimates that more than one trillion active databases may exist across the world. They store browser history, messages, settings, contacts, app data, and countless other pieces of our digital lives. The database created because a warship could not trust a server became the database billions of devices trust when no server exists.

  Everyone worries over EU startups flipping to the US. One Italian company is buying up American ones instead. You probably opened three of their apps this week. Bending Spoons is a Milan company most people outside Italy might never have heard of. Founded in 2013. Started as an app studio. Then it turned into an acquisition machine. The list is close to absurd now: AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, WeTransfer, Meetup, Eventbrite, Brightcove, Komoot, StreamYard. Recently they added Airtable. Over 50 deals in total. Most of the marquee names are American. All of it runs out of a single office in Milan. We all see European startups do the reverse Delaware flip. Move from the EU to incorporate in the US, chase US capital, hand control across the Atlantic. Bending Spoons runs it the other way. It buys American brands and moves ownership and control to Europe. You do not see that often. Bravi, @bendingspoons !! I run a European company, and we have a subsidiary in Milan. Nothing against US startups, but I want my kids to grow up in a Europe that buys, not only one that gets bought.
