(...) What this means is that we lose many efficiencies when we talk about configuration as different from data. The fact is, no matter how much we’re trying to separate the two, c…

"I stand by spreading hearsay, even if a court happens to disagree"

I can only repeat what I told you earlier. Our distributed consistency model meets the SQL-standard's requirements for consistency and tolerates such outages. This is a fact. CAP i…

CAP means many different things. If you took the time to read what I have to say about it, you would know that I'm saying that we're beating the requirements Brewer sets out in his…

There's a mental leap you need to make before it clicks into place and I can't do it for you. I have several people who understand what I say and why I say it, but I get that this …

The reason you don't understand why my claims are different from being just another solution with clocks and mutexes is because you haven't actually engaged with the essence of it.…

We need to clarify first if we're talking about CAP or real life. CAP requirements are absurd. To quote Dominick Tornow from here: https://blog.dtornow.com/the-cap-theorem.-the-bad…

Okay, so we can move beyond CAP. So we don't talk about implementation in either the science-paper or in the intro for it (which is what this thread is about). I mostly write about…

Well no, by making the probability of latency-events extremely unlikely by establishing redundant channels. https://medium.com/p/5e397cb12e63#7df1 Considering that this is maybe th…

It's clear for everyone that if you define Consistency via Linearizability, CAP-like problems will apply, as you're necessarily creating original information on a potentially remot…

Yes, that's exactly the problem with the existing models and why CAP was formalised.

Can I replicate people deterministically and control all their sensory inputs in this scenario?

No. CAP requires linearizability for its definition. If your consistency-model moves with the network's ability to communicate, your strong consistency can progress even if you som…

Any modification to existing data must be "haggled for" somewhere, you're right about that. When you say "partition event", what is being partitioned here? A specific communication…

It's fine to not understand things. Being condescending is a natural reaction to feeling challenged, I really do understand where you're coming from. It's not even your fault, real…

Almost there Dustin, thank you. This article is about the mental model behind scaling consistency across arbitrary geographical distances and how this model allows us to communicat…

This section discusses some failure modes (the first one is about the failure of a specific node): https://itnext.io/how-simple-can-scale-your-sql-beat-cap-and... This section disc…
