# NOTE REGARDING TIMESTAMPS:
# It is currently difficult to have the timestamps calculated by the
# database in a portable way, so we're doing it in the client. This
# also saves us from needing to postfetch on postgres. HOWEVER: it
# relies on the client's clock being set correctly, so if clustering
# web servers, use a time server to ensure synchronization
