You can load-balance between CDN vendors as well

With what? The only (sensible) way is DNS, but then your DNS provider is your SPOF. Amazon used to run 2 DNS providers (separate NS from 2 vendors for all of AWS), but when one failed, there was still a massive outage.

Then your load balancer becomes the single point of failure.

BGP Anycast will let you dynamically route traffic into multiple front-end load balancers - this is how GSLB is usually done.

Needs an ASN and a decent chunk of PI address space, though, so not exactly something a random startup will ever be likely to play with.

Then add a load balancer in front of your load balancer, duh. /s

If you're excited about building the OS for justice — let’s build together.

Just for my own understanding, could you clarify why you think "last write wins" is a recipe for disaster?

Because two simultaneous writes mean some change is just lost, without feedback to the writer.

Curious to know what other alternatives have you found better.

Zulip is vastly better for people who are willing to learn an interface. But it’s not really very “pretty”

Hah, its 'good enough', but really has some bizarre ui flows that make things so very, very confusing...

Hi! It'd be a huge help if you can stop by chat.zulip.org and share in #feedback what you find bizarre. Maybe we can fix them for you :)

We use Twist at my company. I find the emphasis on asynchronous communication refreshing. It encourages more thoughtful discussion. Basecamp also lends helpfully in this direction, although adopting Basecamp means accepting an entire project management system as well.

I found that the way Basecamp tries to achieve async communication is to make sync communication as painful as possible. Not a great experience.

> At the end of the day, it's all about calories.

No it's not. Calories is just a unit of energy. And there are good energy sources, and bad ones as well. It's not just one single factor that rules everything. Quality and variety of food matters a lot.

> All well and good, and if you had no previous exposure to the standard model, you'd learn a lot.

That is exactly what this video is about. If you want something to be more in-depth, this video is not going to help you. But that's okay.

Okay, but my main complaint is that the medium (video) feels very under-utilized.

As clearly stated in the video, you need to have prerequisite knowledge of quantum physics and special relativity. The quanta video can be understood by someone out of high school. Different audiences. Different goals. Just because something is all charts and animations, doesn't mean that it's bad.

This is normal in Go though.
