From the paper:
> In general, connections are not used with the same intensity... so assigning equal value to them is not justified. This is the basic objection to Metcalfe’s Law...
In my architectonic opinion, the perfect network comprises all nodes operating equally. Ergo the ideal is indeed Metcalfe's law, but architecture and design can be costly, which is simple the inefficient use of resources. These being very precise machines, anything less than 99.999% is amateur, ergo the law obtains.
- btilly 4y agoWe are talking about computer systems that connect a network of humans. Humans are notoriously imprecise and unreliable machines. Anything more than 0.00001% is therefore a miracle.
- NHQ 4y agoLol, networking people has produced little of real value except the paradigm itself, and social networking is little more than making humans more efficient at marketing to each other. Networking is for DATA. When people behave like networked machines... well that's global capital communism tbqh.
