How so? The lawyers at Meta are actually good at their job, they are doing what lawyers should do when they have more money than the opposition. Just like the managers are doing what they should do when they want something and can burn cash to get it.
Yeah, I’d actually argue it’s the opposite. Meta knows exactly what it’s doing, it just sucks for the little guy.
Meta will just drag this out in the courts until the little guy can’t afford to keep going and then they settle.
Knowing Spotify, I would assume it’s 15 hours of book regardless of speed listened.
Transactions are the safe way of doing it.
You can also return * to see the changes, or add specific fields.
Like for example:
Begin; Update users Set first_name=‘John’ Where first_name=‘john’ Returning *;
Then your Rollback; Or Commit;
So you’d see all rows you just updated. You can get fancy and do a self join and see the original and updated data if you want. I like to run an identifying query first, so I know hey I should see 87 rows updated or whatever.
Haven’t had any issues with table locks with this, but we use Postgres. YMMV.
