Ask HN: Is there a way to efficiently subscribe to an SQL query for changes?
23 by vaughan | 21 comments on Hacker News.
I know [RethinkDB][1] used to do this with their SQL-like ReQL language, but I looked around a bit and can't find much else about it - and I would have thought it would be more common. I'm more interesting in queries with joins and doing it efficiently, instead of just tracking updates to tables that are modified, and re-rerunning the entire query. If we think about modern frontends using SQL-based backends, essentially every time we render, its ultimately the result of a tree of SQL queries (queries depend on results of other queries) running in the backend. Our frontend app state is just a tree of materialized views of our database which depend on each other. We've got a bunch of state management libraries that deal with trees but they don't fit so well with relational/graph-like data. I came across a Postgres proposal for [Incremental View Maintenance][2] which generates a diff against an existing query with the purpose of updating a materialized view. Oracle also has [`FAST REFRESH`][3] for materialized views. I guess it's relatively easy to do until you start needing joins or traversing graphs/hierarchies - which is why its maybe avoided. EDIT: [Materialize][1] looks interesting in this space: "Execute streaming SQL Joins" but more focused on the event streams rather than general-purpose DML/OLTP.

Ask HN: How is a company like Comcast able to get away with Spam?
9 by jc_811 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I recently signed up for Comcast Xfinity internet (only one available in my area), and ever since I signed up I receive marketing emails almost daily that do not have an unsubscribe link because they are marked as "service related emails". I've unsubscribed from every single email preference in my account, and even went so far to confirm with their support agents that I did it correctly. However, almost daily I receive emails about "See what your wifi can do" or "Don't forget about these new features" etc, that are clearly marketing and not service related. Browsing forums online it seems there are countless others who have the same complaints as me. So, my main question is, how can a company get away with this when it is blatantly in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act? Is it truly just too difficult for any individual to hire a lawyer and go up against Goliath? Does the CAN-SPAM act have any loopholes I'm not aware of that would allow this? I'm genuinely curious to this, and do not want to come off as just an angry customer ranting.
