Somewhat entertaining to notice the usage of exaggeration adjectives in this article. So they've created a broadcast system; but from the adjectives one would think they created something much more significant. Every possible place they could use an exaggerated adjective to describe the project they use an extreme form. If this tech were something new or specifically unique, maybe, but not this.
- roflc0ptic 6y agoIdk, maybe I'm naive and can't see through the hype, but solving this - " We built in redundancy at every point — transport, ingestion, processing, delivery, and playback — to make sure the system could withstand most types of failure." is pretty impressive. The scale of an engineering project like that seems nuts to me.
- wtf_is_up 6y agoSure, but it's Facebook so you're supposed to hate it. If it's a medium blog about Rust, we could ignore over-enthusiastic adjectives and upvote.

- ForHackernews 6y agoAll that work to re-create an inferior shadow of broadcast TV from the 1970s...
- jtsiskin 6y agoIs that circuit switched or packet switched?
- ForHackernews 6y agoNope.
- bsenftner 6y agoI think it's good work, but their over glossing in their descriptions. I commented because I felt the article's adjective enthusiasm ultimately distracts from the work.
