Perhaps you were told it was secret. It was not secret. Here's one of the articles I was referring to. http://www.wired.com/2013/03/google-borg-twitter-mesos/ http://www.wired.com/2013/03/google-borg-twitter-mesos/ John Wilkes mentions Borg, acts coy about the name for some reason (seems like a pattern), and mentions Omega, its nascent replacement.
- dekhn 12y agoJohn does not mention Borg by name publicly (well, until the paper was published). That's what I meant (consistent with what I was replying to). The article you linked to confirms that. "According to Wilkes, Google plans to publish a research paper on Borg (though he still won’t use the name). " Wilkes won’t even call it Borg. “I prefer to call it the system that will not be named," (I work with John and have contributed to Borg)
- scott_s 12y agoPerhaps you two are using different definitions of the word "secret". You are probably using the word to mean "a fact that no one outside of a select group of people knows". dekhn is probably using it to mean "a fact which my company has said we are not allowed to publicly acknowledge".
