I think if 2 events are independent then you can use an eventually consistent DB like Cassandra and move on with your day. The importance of something like TrueTime arises when you have an example like in the article. Step 1: remove your parents from seeing your photo albums. Step 2: post your spring break photo album
- taeric 8y agoThat doesn't sound like a system you need "true time" for. :( Of course, I think I just like thinking about how true time will start to fail once we get beyond the earth. Consider, what is the true time for events we are seeing in the stars right now? Granted, I fully cede that being able to rely on a fully sequenced notion of time that everyone is a part of makes some reasoning much easier.
