It's interesting you used Frontier as an example. Frontier's whole business model is "unbundle everything the law allows." This means dirt-cheap fares that alone can't cover their costs of running the flights. They

Yeah copying large amounts of data from one process to another (especially across nodes) is slow and expensive. We have to take care to not do that where possible. We've had issues from accidentally passing too much data to worker proc

Relays can forward things like "the user wants to join voice channel X" to the guild process and it'll process it (and fan out notifications to all the relays). This does place a scaling limit so we have to be careful about w

That's completely missing the point of the GP, which is that they're not excited because they don't see the value, not that Infrastructure from Code is stable and simple.

Not everything reads from live databases. Some marketing is sent by running batch jobs against data sitting in bigquery, hadoop, etc. So even if a write to the source of truth happens at some time, a job running an hour later might not see

How do you figure it'll give that much? Near as I can see large scale solar is a bit over $1/W so $1.1B would give you less than half as much power in the middle of the day, less spread out over time.

At that point it was true. Facebook's targeting at that point was just based on self-selected interests. It would naturally develop over time into this super-elaborate retargeting and tracking behemoth.
