I guess Vint Cerf wasn't hired by Google to provide any kind of input about TCP/IP or future of it.
- adventured 5y agoVint was a trophy for the Google founders; they could, so they did. Zuckerberg no doubt got a similar thrill out of having purchased Carmack's employment.
- ec109685 5y agoFacebook got the only mainstream VR device as well.
- davidwihl 5y agoYour comment belittles the hard work Vint puts in every day. He could easily retire but is still amazingly energetic and engaged. Downvoted.
- takeda 5y agoI don't think GP comment belittles Vint. It belittles Google, for just hiring him for his name and not for his expertise. Vint is very vocal about IPv6 adaptation, yet it sounds like his opinion seems to be treated as if he was some kind of intern there. "Cool Vint, you do your stuff, publish your papers and we do our stuff".
- wmf 5y agoLorenzo Colitti is Google's IPv6 czar but when supporting IPv6 costs (hundreds of) millions of dollars, "input" is not enough. There needs to be a business case which there really isn't so far.
- bushbaba 5y agothe lack of ipv4 addresses is becoming a good reason to make the switch.
