🇨🇳 Okay we lost about $150 in power banks and got them confiscated from us at the airport flying to the next city in China because the power banks didn't have the Chinese certification called CCC They have every other certification known to man (you know like EC and FCC) but not CCC "CCC (China Compulsory Certificate) is a mandatory certification required for a wide range of products to be legally sold, imported, or used in China, covering aspects like safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility" Ironically they're new Anker batteries and Anker is a Chinese brand and they're made in China but that didn't convince the airport lady Lots of other non-Chinese ppl (but Asian) got rekt and it was a mountain of power banks thrown out Getting your stuff thrown away in front of you is annoying everywhere, but especially when it's new batteries We asked if we could ship them by post to our next hotel (there was a desk shipping stuff next to it) but she denied, very unfriendly lady but then again isn't every airport lady in the entire world usually unfriendly? They seem to be really really really aggressive about hand alchol, lighters and batteries with foreigners, probably for a reason 🚬 I was asked literally 6 times in a row by different people if I had a lighter on me, after the 6th time saying "I don't smoke" I had to shout it which seems to actually work well, a lot of esp age 50 and up people shout in China (which is the opposite of Japan of course), but the loudness of your voice here is part of the communication and sometimes work to shut everyone up and make the point 🤣 Then my bag was opened to find every single electronic device while they say "battery battery" like even about an Airpods box, crazyyyy And gf had to throw away her cute hand alcohol spray thing that every IG girl has, which made her sad Anyway not the most nice experience for foreigners visiting China in this case especially when you travel you really need a powerbank to survive the journey cause your phone runs out of power quick and travel distances in China are long (just a car ride to a hotel or mall can easily be 1 hour) And inb4 "omg n00b", none of the batteries sold outside China now have the CCC mark, so no you can't prep for this, thank you 😊 Please fix @xijinping

apparently everyone thought this was pay $10 for a discount but it’s actually pay $10 to win 100% of the thing you win… messed up there i guess

I remember when I was stuck with MongoDB, and 100M analytics events in the entire database made everything super slow, even with indexes. Now DataFast processes ~150M events per month, and my new database TinyBird loads analytics in seconds. I hate changing my tech stack, but boy, I'm happy with this one.
