> TL;DR: PostgreSQL wraps every statement in a fully transactional context; ClickHouse doesn’t. That means these results aren’t a perfect measure of transaction performance. However, they’re still an interesting and relevant look at how each system handles update workloads under its native execution model.

In the case of this particular website, perhaps Google tracks you less, but you get tracked by `https://test-v1.adriaan.com` — whatever that means.
9: <script src="https://test-v1.adriaan.com/script-v1.js" async></script>
https://test-v1.adriaan.com/simple.gif?type=event&hostname=t...

So the correct title must be: "We track you when you're reading about Google tracking you (even when using DuckDuckGo)."
Ha, nice find! I'm the Adriaan in adriaan.com. I'm testing some new script features that might improve deliverability. It's not sending any personal data. I use another domain to have the least effect of ad-blockers.

Moving from the USA to Russia for the office suite!
They use LibreOffice, which is open-source. [0] That suite is part of the The Document Foundation [1] which headquarters are in Berlin, Germany. How is this related to Russia?

Hey guys, just wrote something for those of you unsure whether your idea has some potential to be a great business.
I founded two profitable SaaS companies without VC money. In building those, I used a few rules to evaluate their potential to succeed.
Basically, I created a little framework to minimize the risk of failure.
The statistic that 90% of startups fail has been around for decades, but I don't think it's entirely true.
It may be true for VC-backed startups that must turn into a Billion dollar company or die. But fuck that!
The Silicon Valley way is not the only game in town.
The framework:
I called it "The most unambitious way to build a startup" because you will not change the world. The returns won't be as outlandish.
But if you're looking to build a business that changes your own world, this might be an interesting read.
Here are my four rules: 1) Is it B2B? This is where the money is 2) Is there a competitor making bank? Good! There is a market 3) Is there one angle to outcompete your competitor? This could be support, pricing, or features. 4) Are there SEO opportunities? People need to find out about you. For me, this is SEO, but it could be sales, partnerships, etc., or whatever your jam for growth is.
I wrote more in-depth about how I applied it to my businesses before I started in my newsletter (linked).
Hope you get something out of it! Cheers, Iron
