    The UI has no business knowing the business rule about what was published when -- Alright, but even Stack Exchange has such UI rules. For example, the "delete" link doesn't appear for other users on closed questions until two days have elapsed, and the Migration option is disabled after 60 days. Commented Jun 2, 2015 at 14:51
  • I clarified the question based on this answer: some controls are going to be removed, and others are will be added, depending on the date. Commented Jun 2, 2015 at 14:53

    @RobertHarvey, but how is it programmed in the view? Is it something like if (showDelete) { <button>delete</button> } or if ((post.date - today).days > 2) { <button>delete</button> }? Commented Jun 2, 2015 at 17:49
