This is naive. You don't know what data you will care about in a year. The ability to have and keep all the data is incredibly valuable.

- erikpukinskis 9y agoHistoric data is certainly usable. I'm not sure where your idea comes from that it often provides value far beyond what's in the short term cache. What makes you believe that? How many things happened today that won't happen next week, somewhere? And please don't call me naive. That's rude. Disagree substantively; use your words.
- sqeaky 9y agoWhy do so many on HN feel the need to structure their responses like this: > Something Rude. Real argument, which is stronger with first sentence removed. You may be right (or wrong, I don't know) but opening with rudeness or insults makes it more difficult to have meaningful conversations.
- solipsism 9y agoRudeness? Insults? I said "this is naive", not "you are naive." Surely we're all adults and can talk about ideas candidly without having to beat around the bush and tell each other little white lies. A while ago you told someone, "You speak in broad generalizations that miss many points and make many faulty assumptions. " Any difference between your statement and mine comes down to how individuals respond to specific words. How about we rise above such pettiness and focus on the subject matter? You've added nothing to this discussion and have wasted people's time.
