SRE:

• Receives a slack message that lighbulb is broken
• Realizes that they never got an alert when the light went out
• Fixes their monitoring thresholds
• Routes all broken lightbulb alerts to a slack channel nobody reads

I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don’t care about backing up (eg caches)

One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.
