In [theoretical computer science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_computer_science),
the **CAP theorem**, also named **Brewer's theorem** after computer scientist [Eric Brewer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Brewer_(scientist)),
states that any [distributed data store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_data_store)
can provide only [two of the following three](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilemma) guarantees:
[Consistency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model)
Every read receives the most recent write or an error.
[Availability](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Availability)
Every request receives a (non-error) response, without the guarantee that it contains the most recent write.
[Partition tolerance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_partitioning)
The system continues to operate despite an arbitrary number of messages being dropped (or delayed) by the network between nodes.

“If I want to launch a disinformation campaign,
I can fail 99 percent of the time.
You fail all the time,
but it doesn’t matter,” Farid says.
“Every once in a while,
the QAnon gets through.
Most of your campaigns can fail,
but the ones that don’t can wreak havoc.”

**5. Choice of Role Models:**
The people we admire and look up to
can profoundly impact
our choices and aspirations.
When we have inspiring figures in our lives
who exemplify the qualities we desire,
we are more likely to set ambitious goals
and work towards achieving them.
Evaluate your relationships,
seek out positive influences,
and invest in nurturing connections
that align with your values and goals.
Your social circle can be a powerful force
that propels you toward success and well-being.
