Your place of last resort with kafka is simply to replay the message back to the same kafka topic since you know it's up. In a simple single consumer setup just throw a retry count on the message and increment it to get monitoring/alerting/etc. Multi consumer? Put an enqueue source tag on it and only process the messages tagged for you. This won't scale to infinity but it scales really really far for really really cheap

I started typing no, but then....

I honestly can't decide which would be worse: a developer who literally doesn't know what a cache is or one who installs caches with bad invalidation policies.

I must disagree with you on maps. Google maps is a fantastic geographic aware search.

It is a horrific map. On any given screen there is an 80% chance that the major road I'm interested in is not labeled. Finding the name of a relevant cross street is a nightmare.

I feel like it used to be better. Way better. I think the map aspect has been dropped entirely as a real feature now that they supply directions (search) primarily instead.

I disagree. The future doesn't have less social media, it has more. We won't look back with contempt, but amusement much as we do today at early cgi and tabloid efforts.

I don't love the idea with the current iteration, but every mass media invention has the exact same trope play out as we're seeing with social media.

1) first adopters and skeptics

2) major use

3) exploitation of those users

4) combo of regulation and individuals becoming more savvy

We're deep in phase three. It might get worse still, but I don't see much worse until you factor in additional game changers (deep fakes seem most obvious, but my money is on something currently unknown)

A new equilibrium will be found, better for some interests and worse for others.

Why would scenario in GP be nefarious?
