Fair enough. I should clarify that it is not impossible, only impossible for now with our existing structures. I think we will get there.

  Except Netflix weathered this well... those sites just didn't build their infrastructure out to handle this.

    Cross provider scaling is not easy, but necessary for companies of a different size. I expect Quora (and others) to make some changes after this.

    Netflix has downtime just not full outages, it didn't work for my family and we've had other downtime with them in the recent past. They even sent us a credit a month or two ago because of the outage. Their infrastructure is such that it doesn't go down for everyone, but it does go down from time to time for a subset of their subscribers.
