Imagine someone offered you a house but the agreement was that you could only sell it for what you bought it for. I doubt you would buy it considering there are other options on the market where you could profit in the future. It's 100

You bought it to live in for 5 years and then you flipped it for more money than you bought it? That's the definition of successful speculation.

All homeowners are real estate speculators. Wouldn't you also consider anyone buying a "starter home" a speculator? Their goal is to continuously flip their house.

Very good points MegaButts. Crypto is VC funded too. Hence the crazy market caps because most of the VC owned supply is locked up.

The business owns your data. Why would they delete it if they don't have to?

There's definitely perfect and perfect for the business. But when large companies have many developers they all have to do something. They will spend their time doing something unnecessary.

I would never suggest archiving unless we're hitting some performance limit. Why generate more busy work? Just leave it there and if need be add more indexes and partitions.

The use case for using the database here is overblown. I've never experienced of heard of anyone using a view for the users table. I suppose it may exist in the wild somewhere. I wouldn't avoid Ruby features because the applicatio

There are Rails gems that can handle this in various ways. But the easiest way is to deactivate the user account (is_active boolean) and continue to reference the user in internal records.

There are some Rails gems that take care of this by scoping associations (that also have the deleted_at column).

> Using views, stored procedures and other features lets you implement things like soft delete trivially, without it infecting all your application code. That’s great but some of us actually like to write code. Especially Ruby on Rails w

Every Rails developer knows what “deleted_at” means. I’m absolutely repulsed at the thought of turning the users table into a view. What’s next? No code and we only use triggers?

Lack of support and poor attitude? That's the playbook for Tesla's FSD. So maybe it can work again?

The US government does not agree with China that the US army created SARS-CoV-2 in a lab. But every scientist and rational person also doesn't agree with China. You're going to have to update your definition. https://ww

China’s stance on Covid is that America is responsible. I’ll update with the wechat source when I find it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/vaccines-c...

Because what I claimed is so outrageous? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/vaccines-c... I’ll find the wechat story when I’m more awake. ADV china covered it though.

They aren’t just going to surveil you though. They will actively work to promote disinformation to you.

What social media company in the US bans positive coverage of mRNA vaccines? In the US algorithms ban content, often by mistake. In China a political official or someone working for the government reviews the content personally. Big differe

The Chinese government censors posts on social media. It’s nefarious by design. Nothing like that happens with FAANG.

by dubswithus 4y ago
They ban them because they won’t censor factual information and won’t promote disinformation. See how Chinese censorship applies to mRNA vaccine conspiracy theories. A person that debunked them was banned from wechat. Do you see western gov

My parents live 4 miles from the nearest city in a rural area. Someone paid for a fiber line and my parents got a free install because it crossed the property. Before this they were using a microwave antenna and getting 10 megabit.

That's unfortunate. I've tried to reset the router but it still loads the old settings. Next time I go back to the US I'm going to bring back mesh routers.
