ObjectBox helps app developers develop faster apps faster by ensuring data is where it is needed when it is needed

ObjectBox

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. My name is Vivien, I’m Co-founder and CEO of ObjectBox What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? . We make it easy for developers to store, manage and use decentralized data flows efficiently across edge devices (Mobile, IoT, Embedded) and all the way up to the cloud. ObjectBox is a fast database and data sync to empower Edge Computing What is the origin story? Before ObjectBox, Markus (@greenrobot_de) and I did Android apps and two of the open-source libraries Markus had developed for himself and open-sourced were doing very well. One, greenDAO, is an ORM on top of SQLite. It was always the fastest ORM around and at some point, Markus could not optimize it anymore without circumventing the underlying database… when we discussed it, we thought the ORMs were only optimizing on top of a problem; why not get rid of the problem? So, we started developing ObjectBox as a fast local database and alternative to SQLite and ORMs. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Well, actually that’s probably a bit nerdy, but we all love “efficient and sustainable code”. We really do care about that and I think it shows… Data persistence and data flows are core challenges every digital project needs to solve. So, at scale, especially with digitalization and data growing so much, choosing the most efficient approach has a huge impact on economics as well as sustainability. Edge Computing has many advantages for many projects: Enabling new use cases, saving resources, and leaving data where it belongs (privacy by design). The cloud itself is great, but it is just not a great solution for everything. With cloud resources seeming endless and being so easy to get started, efficiency and privacy took the backseat... while energy consumption, other externalities, and plain monetary costs were ignored and kept growing. With ObjectBox, we make it easy to add an edge to any project, enabling developers to efficiently work with data across devices, while reducing resource consumption (CPU, Memory, power) and unnecessary data traversal. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Hard to imagine anything else at the moment😂, but something that has an impact on sustainability. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Usage (building apps), user satisfaction, and performance benchmarks (speed, resource-use). What’s most exciting about your traction to date? More than 800.000 developers started building apps with ObjectBox. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? HackerNoon is great for developers and people in tech - and it has a wider variety of opinions and more depth on tech topics than more mainstream media. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? Start reading the Terry Pratchett books now (I only started them a couple of years later, but they were and are a great source of inspiration) What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? I’d love to nudge all female readers to ask themselves: Did I already help another woman today?

I tried to list some of the things that an intermediate iOS dev should know about. Advanced knowledge in the language(Swift/Obj-C) An intermediate iOS dev should have basic fundamental knowledge along with advanced and deep knowledge in languages, preferably in Swift. Protocol Oriented Programming Generics and Protocols Values and References Types and Operations Sequences, Collections and Algorithms Memory Management Error Handling Codable Architecture For architecture most common, used and abused pattern is MVC which isn't well testable and reusable and to overcome the problem there are many popular solution like , MVP, , etc and it's up to you which one you'll follow and implement but I prefer to use MVVM along with , as I found it to be more balanced, less complex and suitable for small to medium level project and easy to implement and follow for entire team. Refer to the following posts about MVVM and design pattern: MVVM VIPER Clean Architecture MVVM Tutorials MVVM pattern with Swift application How not to get desperate with MVVM implementation Design Patterns by Tutorials: MVVM An Introduction to the MVVM Design Pattern Fantastic iOS Architecture How to use RxSwift with MVVM MVVM with RxSwift MVVM + RxSwift on iOS Clean Architecture and MVVM on iOS Example of Clean Architecture of iOS app using RxSwift Design Pattern An intermediate iOS dev must able to follow a good design pattern and should follow principal and shouldn't violate any design pattern principal.In iOS these are : SOLID “must knows” Singleton Observer Delegate Strategy Factory Iterator Builde Multicast delegate pattern Facade pattern Composite pattern Memento pattern Observer pattern Refer to , it talks about various design pattern. this tutorial Persistency Data persistency is very important for an app if the internet isn't available and the app doesn't work that's bad if the internet is slow and the app slow that's bad, calling API too many costing developer and user more data cost is bad.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. SAMUEL BANKMAN-FRIED Court Filing Lewis A. Kaplan, December 9, 2022 is part of . You can jump to any part in this filing . This is part 17 of 25. HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series here ARGUMENT II. Mr. Bankman-Fried Has Standing to Invoke the Rule of Specialty. A. The Supreme Court Held in United States v. Rauscher that Individual Defendants Have Standing to Assert the Rule of Specialty. Supreme Court precedent supports Mr. Bankman-Fried’s standing to raise objections based on the rule of specialty here. In United States v. Rauscher, 119 U.S. 407, 7 S. Ct. 234 (1886), the Supreme Court held that the rule of specialty is a “right conferred upon persons brought from a foreign country into” the United States, even where, as there, the requesting state did not formally object to the prosecution for additional offenses. See Rauscher, 119 U.S. at 424, 430-31, 7 S. Ct. at 246 (noting that defendant may file a writ of error or writ of habeas corpus to challenge extradition treaty violations); United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655, 667, 112 S. Ct. 2188, 2195 (1992) (acknowledging Rauscher’s continuing applicability). The Rauscher Court explained that “it is impossible to conceive of the exercise of jurisdiction in such a case for any other purpose than that mentioned in the [extradition] treaty, and ascertained by the proceedings under which the party is extradited, without an implication of fraud upon the rights of the party extradited, and of bad faith to the country which permitted his extradition.” Rauscher, 119 U.S. at 422, 7 S.

Sam Bankman-Fried's Objections to US Charges Post Extradition Have Precedent in the Supreme Court

Recent news alluding to a possible led to a lot of chatter in crypto circles, resulting in the emergence of quite a few myths and misunderstandings about what FTX 2.0 would mean.  The objective of this article is to provide further info, so people have a better understanding of the implications of a rebooted FTX business. FTX exchange reboot Through his ongoing diligence relative to this bankruptcy process, the FTX 2.0 Coalition’s sleuthed his way through the latest monthly fee statements, uncovering strong indications of a possible FTX exchange restart. His tweet, pushed out on May 22, sparked quite a bit of coverage in crypto media and debate on Crypto Twitter and elsewhere. ‘AFTX Creditor’ Let’s go through all of those concerns and objections. 1. FTX2.0? Hell No! FTX is a fraud It’s beyond doubt that the was damaging,  be that for the 1.4 million creditors that are currently out of pocket, crypto projects that suffered reputational damage due to ties with FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), or simply for anyone who had an open crypto position in early November 2022, given that the market tanked at that time. collapse of FTX 1.0 Additionally, the crypto sector as a whole has suffered reputational damage and the FTX collapse has provided a great excuse for those opposed to decentralized money and systems to push for heavyhanded regulation. I understand that those wounds are fresh but all of what happened relates to FTX 1.0. The ‘ ’ is out! They’re going to be rotting in jail as FTX 2.0 powers on. The likelihood is that 1.4M creditors will take a share in the ownership of the new business. Most likely it will be taken forward by an external entity capable of handling crypto exchange operations and injecting cash into the business. That means no FTX 1.0 C-Suite executive involvement with FTX 2.0. The business will get a clean break, and will be totally disassociated from its fraudulent past ways. polycule 2. The brand is tarnished beyond repair For the most part, this take refers to the viability of the business but from the views I’ve seen expressed, it's also a more general objection as people see FTX as damaging to the broader space. One response to that is that we have an opportunity to turn this narrative around. What could be better than taking the thing that caused havoc for so many stakeholders in crypto and turning it into a positive element? Wouldn’t a successfully resurrected FTX achieving optimized recovery for 1.4 million creditors be demonstrative of a crypto sector that cleans up its own mess? As regards the branding itself, essentially this is an item that whatever entity takes on FTX 2.0 needs to consider. Sure, there is an element of risk in maintaining the FTX brand. But there’s also an opportunity. It costs countless millions to make a brand a household name. While many may find it distasteful, FTX is a well recognized brand. The following is an excerpt from the , a survey that aims to gauge the reputations of the most visible brands in America. 2023 Axios Harris Poll 100 The first thing to say is that it costs millions in marketing outlay to make that list. Not surprisingly, FTX finds itself at the tail end of that list right now. However, it’s right there alongside Bitcoin and . If crypto people are reading this, then the odds are that you highly regard Bitcoin and Twitter. People outside of crypto don’t according to the survey. Does that mean they’re done for?  Of course, it doesn’t. Twitter 3. FTX must die!..for the good of crypto The knee-jerk response from most people in the crypto space has been to immediately consign FTX to the past and move on. I understand the logic but I don’t believe it is the way. The right way to move forward for an industry pockmarked by fraud, hacks, and rug pulls is total transparency. There’s a lot that can be learned from catastrophes like FTX 1.0. If that’s the case, isn't it better not to sweep it under the carpet? Take the analogy of the Mt.Gox collapse as an example. A painful passage in crypto’s history but some good things came out of it. It led to regulation that protected customers, evidenced by the fact that FTX Japan customers have been enabled in withdrawing all of their funds. Secondly, is it really ‘for the good of crypto’ to burn 1.4 million FTX creditors and crypto space peers? All other things being equal, I can’t see that as being a positive outcome. FTX 2.0 represents the best opportunity for creditors to optimize recovery. Naturally enough, many creditors have said they’re done with crypto permanently. Are we trying to grow adoption and participation in the crypto-verse or are we trying to turn people off it? Perhaps you may come to the conclusion that you don’t have a use case for FTX 2.0 but everything else being equal, wouldn’t it be in the interests of the industry as a whole (and therefore you too) to at least be open to the idea? 4. Trust FTX 2.0? That’s a hard no! The past week has seen countless instances of folks on Crypto Twitter suggesting that FTX 2.0 can’t be trusted. Much of that is rooted in a belief that FTX 2.0 will simply carry on from where FTX 1.0 left off but it won’t: FTX 1.0 ≠ FTX 2.0 Yes, the FTX brand has an image problem. However, I can’t imagine, given what has happened, that FTX 2.0 would mirror the previous service offering of FTX 1.0 when it comes to customer protection. That may be an assumption on my part but I think it’s a reasonable assumption. The clear route for whatever entity steps in to drive FTX 2.0 to take is to move from a platform that totally disregarded customer protections and overcompensate to the other end of that spectrum. That would involve at a very minimum, properly segregated customer and corporate funds and the use of an institutional-grade custodian, and most likely greater clarity and protection written into any terms of service. 5. We don’t need it Ok, so let's refresh ourselves as regards what centralized exchange (CEX) options are available to us. Coinbase: Are you happy to pay well above the odds on fees anon? The bulk of FTX users were active traders. Fees matter when you’re constantly trading in and out of crypto positions. Binance: Is it seriously in the interests of the industry to leave the bulk of global crypto trade in the hands of this one entity? Binance and Changpeng Zhao (CZ) find themselves firmly in the cross-hairs of multiple authorities around the world. You can form an opinion on that being right or wrong but accepting it’s a threat, what happens to the crypto space if the powers that be find a way to push it out of business round about now when it accounts for the bulk of global crypto trading? We’ve had to find out the hard way but FTX has well and truly outed all of its skeletons. But what of Binance? There are serious question marks hanging over the global crypto exchange. There have been allegations of similar practices happening behind the scenes at Binance as happened at FTX 1.0. Heck, we don’t even know where Binance is headquartered! Still, if the feds don’t take Binance down and despite all the uncertainty, the exchange turns out to be squeaky clean (although when would we ever know?), even then is it healthy for crypto to have one dominant CEX? Bybit: With mandatory KYC, do you want to give the CCP your personal data? Kucoin and OKX: Aren’t these just shady bucket shops? Given what has transpired, I can understand a reluctance to use FTX 2.0 but wouldn’t it still be more progressive to let it run and see how it embraces the market (and vice versa)? There’s every reason to believe that the market would benefit from the optionality of a regulated, transparent and well functioning CEX. 6. Fuggetaboutit! DEX, not CEX. Some crypto folk have pointed out that decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are the way forward and on that basis, in no way should FTX 2.0 be considered. I don’t think there’s anyone in crypto who doesn’t see the ongoing development of DEXs as anything other than a positive move. But do they cover all users and use cases? Everything is easy when you know how and dependent upon your competence level. DEXs are an ongoing innovation but in no way do they fulfill all needs today. No doubt there are users out there who are confident that a DEX fulfills all of their needs and there’s no going back. I get that, but in the interests of facilitating mass adoption of crypto (which I believe is something that we all want), would you stand in the way of an improved iteration of a regulated CEX? . Centralized exchanges are here to stay
