This topic always leads me to think about this great talk from Gil Tene on how NOT to measure latencies (basically, don't use averages!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8ydIuPFeU I'm also a huge fan of how Dorm

Going on a trip in the short term and just got a phone with facial recognition unlock. I think it's important to turn this feature off before returning to the US as it could easily be misused in this exact situation.

How convenient to use the same number as the top bin Xeon CPU, eh? Can't copyright a number though, of course.

Isn't it a PI's job to know what's going on in his/her lab?

YC is not typical. It provides you a pre-built network, so if you're not going this route, who you know already makes a huge difference.

Huh, it's as if threats from policymakers can cause a change in behavior!

I wish they'd show at least 99th percentile latency (if not higher) in the comparison charts, not the average. Average is the wrong way to measure latency.

This is awesome for sending private documents to family (tax season, anyone?), especially when your family isn't inclined to learn cryptography to set up their own solution. Will be trying this ASAP.

No mention of an acquisition price. Congrats to Sam Shank and the team though!

Can you report that to the privacy regulator in your European country? The "mark as deleted" versus actual deletion is an important distinction. I can't do anything as a non-European...

There's also the issue of 100s, if not 1000s of random businesses having added my contact information for advertising purposes, and I can't remove them all without manually clicking each and every one. Anyone should be able to rem

Do you use Redis on flash by chance? I'm guessing it could help reduce reliance on more expensive memory-heavy servers (and their higher cost), but I don't hear often about real experiences with the enterprise version of Redis.

Do you have something more detailed I could read about that?

How do you even get the number? It doesn't list the total on my page and I couldn't even get to the end of the list after clicking "See More" for 10 minutes...

Where'd you get your iPhone X? I find the XR way too big as well, and the XS is insanely overpriced.

60 MB/s per broker at what latency though? Does latency even factor into the performance consideration?

Seeing you across this thread as someone who doesn't just dismiss journalism! I'm looking forward to seeing what The Markup [1] comes out with on the data-driven tech-focused journalism front. Saw their managing editor talk last

Agreed. Attacking Buzzfeed is easy as a "content farm" but the teams let go were primarily in the national security / politics teams, not the teams creating the stupid (but entertaining for many) top 10 listicles.

You ended up co-locating your own hardware, saying "We have a lot better hardware than any of the cloud service providers could offer." Can you clarify then what kind of hardware you're using? All SSDs, HDDs, how much capac

This isn't all of Twitter's workloads moving to GCP. Seems like just cold storage and some aspects of their Hadoop workloads.

Does anyone know if the free test version they're offering includes an Intel Optane SSD or is it just a standard NAND SSD? The blog post isn't clear about what configuration is used in the data they present. Looks like I may jus

While the research may be compromised by a conflict of interest, I still have a legit question. Trader Joe's discontinued my favorite dark roast coffee (Fair Trade Organic Guatemalan) and nothing I've found has come close to the t
