  • If you truly need read/write to scale, multi-masrer clustering with MariaDB Galera is probably the best way to do it. They (MariaDB) also sell a load balancer/query proxy Max scale that can do a lot of surprisingly complex stuff (like publish new data to Kafka or centrally ship binlogs from one place to multiple read replicas).

    However generally my advice is that if you’re finding yourself trying to build a big relational database and writing to it a significant amount of times, it might be time to consider a different or at least modified architecture. Especially if your use case starts to scale to more than what Galera can handle. At some point, all these solutions become eventually consistent the more you scale. And if you are willing to accept eventual consistency, there are some clever ways to do storage using things like queueing, batching, caching etc that can scale horizontally much further than any relational database can.
















  • They weren’t able to add more because a Republican Congress cut down approved funding to do so.

    The “like your plan you can keep it” depended on private insurance continuing to offer plans that would not be tax advantaged. No additional funding was needed to see that that wasn’t going to be viable.

    It’s not okay but it’s not as big of a deal as you’re making it, moreover it’s been well reported that she renounced it apologized and since corrected it, so it’s more to the point that it doesn’t support your original argument.

    At the beginning of the scandal, the content of those emails were treated as faked and the first response from the media was to self censor stories about them.

    That’s actually part of what made it a bigger story, is that when it later came out that they were real instead of people finding out about it months and months ago they found out in bits and pieces over time. In that instance the censorship actually likely hurt the Clinton’s more than it helped; but the outrage is still felt mostly on the right as they saw it as another in a long line of censorship decisions that targeted the right.


  • The only reason he accurately predicted the outcome of Obamacare is because as soon as Republican states no longer had a democratic leadership to contend with they gutted the programs and made them a hollow form of their former selves. Predicting that isn’t exactly rocket science if you’re the one causing it.

    That’s not actually true. Once the plans were no longer eligible to add new members in; they became plans that could no longer add news subscribers into; meaning that the Insurance companies would have an ever decreasing group of people to pool their money with; making the plans ever more risky. Most of those plans stopped being offered long before Republican governors choose to not expand Medicare coverage.

    As for all your other stuff I don’t think we need to go farther than bringing up Clinton’s emails to see that your arguments are reaching.

    These emails are valid emails. They’re not fakes. During the election; media outlets treated them as if they were fakes.
