    Great q.

    I’d argue that many social apps make use of global consensus on at least *some* values. Could be upvotes vs user counts.

    If you can get global consensus on one byte, you can run it again to get global consensus on N bytes (possibly with some upper limit on N).

    And I'd argue that global consensus is unrealistic and unnecessary, and pursuing it comes at the cost of too many other useful properties.

    Local consensus is more useful and easier to achieve, and still results in perfectly functional systems.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
