Do rockets sometimes blow up on the launch pad? Yes. Does that mean they shouldn't have tried to build a rocket ship?
Have you tried to build a data layer engine?
This kind of attitude is so one dimensional from my perspective... they are trying and it's hard to always be perfect when it comes to data. Inevitably if you're in the data game sometimes data loss happens, that's just the nature of the game. It's not black-and-white like you portray it.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoThe point is, when the rocket explodes on the launch pad you don't have the head of NASA saying "Well technically all the pieces of the rocket are still there, so technically we didn't lose it."
- redwood 5y agoThis is in the context of essentially a bug bounty for data loss issues that they were running… sounds like a NASA administrator saying something like "show us how our rocket will fail"
- hitekker 5y agoOn the contrary, it sounds like a cover-up. Looking into the Github Issues, every-time someone does demonstrate data loss, the admins ignore it, argue it isn't data loss, or in one case, claim that the person who showed data loss is a disgruntled ex-employee (???) https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/issues/570#issuecomment-424928884 https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/issues/570#issuecomment-... https://discuss.dgraph.io/t/bounty-challenge-prove-that-badger-loses-data/8719/12 https://discuss.dgraph.io/t/bounty-challenge-prove-that-badg... Given that the former CEO is here right now accusing people of shilling while he scrubs unpleasant details from his past posts, I'd say this just appears to be a dead, toxic startup.
