I'm not sure how well this metric works for Supercell and Clash of Clans. I sometimes play that game, and I can tell you that during the Superbowl, there was an in-app notification sent to all it's players to watch the youtube ad, which greatly increases the number of views of the ad beyond what the other company ads could do.


> there was an in-app notification sent to all it's players to watch the youtube ad

Mobile platforms really need a way to report spam. Notifications to watch an ad should get apps removed from the push notification system.


Yea, that surprised us that Clash of Clans was #1, but figured it was something to do with it being a mobile product. #2 is Budweiser though.


I wonder if that's even a part of Embedly's data set. Is Clash of Clans using Embedly?


Seems a fair amount more expensive than TrueVault. Any reason for this?


Appears to be a hosting provider for the whole stack, not just the database component.


If you're looking for someone that provides the database component with the ability to upgrade to moving your entire stack to the cloud, Catalyze has both BaaS and PaaS offerings.

I think HIPAA-BaaS are great products to get storing PHI (Protected Health Information) immediately. I'm working with companies in health tech right now that are working with hospitals, but not storing patient data. BaaS, from startups like Catalyze/TrueVault/Medable, provide a quick and easy way to get started on that path and determine if it's a good long-term strategy for your company. But, once you're dealing with enough patient data crunching, the rest of your application stack will really need to be secure. That's where PaaS products like Catalyze/Aptible come in.

(Disclaimer: I work for Catalyze)

EDIT: Medable, not Medible.


Do you have a link for Medible? A quick Google search was not returning any results.


I spelled it wrong. It's right here: https://www.medable.com/


TrueVault is one piece of a HIPAA-compliant solution. We're providing complete end-to-end compliance. We're able to do this by:

1. Providing an end-to-end PaaS that supports all app services and databases that a customer needs to run. 2. Providing a compliance management dashboard, where customers can track their compliance status and maintain all the documentation they'd need to show to an auditor, or a customer concerned with their compliance status. Because we manage the entirety of a customer's technical operations, most of this documentation can be generated with minimal input from the customer.


For any that are interested, Couchbase Mobile is essentially, in its current form, a NoSQL database in SQLite. They might port to ForestDB in the future though, but that's an implementation detail.


You forgot the post-credit scene showing Apocalypse 5000 years ago in Egypt with his 4 horsemen! :-)


Already in the US - came beginning of March.


Cool, great to hear. I accidentally had my VPN on US at the end of February when I was trying to watch BB again


Funny, the first thing that popped into my mind was "This sounds similar to the iTunes Match program for books." Nice name analysis though :)


Probably also allows them to more easily detect cheating on coding assignments.


No, comparison of text rather than comparison of ASTs is is better for that purpose. There are many good reasons for ASTs to be equivalent and few good reasons for text to match.


Wasn't this a scene from a Ben Affleck movie? Paycheck I think it was called.


For those that are interested, here is a link to the scene:

I worked on some of the interface graphics for Paycheck, but not this particular scene. Fun work.


I started using NS_ENUM, but I noticed that if I used it in a header file, if I tried to make a property or variable of the enum type: @property (assign) EnumType, it would require this to prefaced with enum, i.e. @property (assign) enum EnumType.

If you just type typedef enum {...} EnumType, you could write @property (assign) EnumType. I prefer this format in my source code, so I quit using NS_ENUM.


I'm not seeing the same behavior. Just whipped up a test project and I'm able to define an enum with the macro and import it into a view controller which declares a property of that type.

What your describing would suggest that perhaps you left out the 'typedef' before calling the macro.
