Ironically, the idea is more useful than intended. One could, for example, store on/off user's preferences in the cloud without the hassle of local storage, survey responses, or even control IoT devices remotely with just the switch of a boolean.

- anaolykarpov 11y agoIt would need authentication and authorization for this. At least for the delete operation
- ORioN63 11y agoIf this had authentication you could even expand its usage. A boolean might indicate if it's snowing in NY, for example (Read-Only for most people)
- Matt3o12_ 11y agoSure saving the 128 bit (even longer when encoded) UUID for one value is so much better then saving 1 bit! Now seriously how is this any good since you can only save one bit. MongoDB as a service is probably what you're looking for...
- misingnoglic 11y agoSure but what if you want that boolean backed up somewhere?
- Matt3o12_ 11y agoAnd where would you suggest backing up the UUID for that bool? It only makes sense to back bools up this way if len(n) > backup key. If you could backup 129 bools it would make sense because you'd only have to remember the key, 128 bit, to access the backup. If there are equal or less, just remember the bools directly.
- alanfriedman 11y agoTo be real for a second...yeah there might be something there.
- Retr0spectrum 11y agoBut then you'd still have to store their id somewhere.
- foota 11y agounless you have some way of generating a key on the fly. Like a hash of some human readable id.
- RivieraKid 11y ago> the idea is more useful than intended This is useless for anything serious.
