   If you read the article, a lot of the decline is from international applicants. Reading other articles, the drop is primarily about visa concerns for post-MBA employment in the US, and who can blame them? My international classmates had a

   Don't worry, the number affected will surely grow.

   Wow, FB keeps shooting itself in the foot. They'll likely blame an algorithm, not a deliberate human choice, but that's not a valid excuse.

   I got it b/c I think I'm on a VPN and had to use Chrome (which I rarely do) when a page I needed wouldn't load properly on my preferred browser. I assume it's a way for Chrome to get you to log in, as I wasn't logg

   Depends on what you'll be working on at Google, IMHO. Coding to sell more ads? Hell no. Coding to siphon more data on users from adjacency businesses to eventually sell more ads? Also hell no. That's like 85% of Google's

   Thanks! My script and adblockers must've broken the site.

    Is there supposed to be a replay of that talk on the site you link to or is it just not loading for me?

    Very interesting! I hadn't heard of this before but I'd love to see it in action. If anyone from the FB team or anyone using LogDevice wants to test performance with Optane SSDs (and compare to a NAND SSD), make a request by subm

    How does a $50M raise compare to other recent open source DB companies? This seems huge to me but no comparable companies come to mind.

    Can't find it on your site... where are you spinning up all these servers for the sandbox? GCP? Azure? AWS? Somewhere else?

    Well, I was keying off the article itself, which said the following: The long length of the tape held in a cartridge—normally hundreds of meters—results in average data-access times of 50 to 60 seconds It's tens of seconds, up to a m

    While there's an explosion of data that we keep hearing about, the aspect I'm curious about is how much of that data will at any one point be "hot" or even "warm," in that it needs to be processed and analyzed

    The modern SV economy to which you refer is built around massive valuations with huge growth expectations ahead of a buyout or (less rare these days) an IPO. I don't see DDG going public anytime soon, and it's unlikely to be sold

    Would you do anything different with your storage software or SSD procurement if you didn't have to worry about filling up SSDs or wear leveling? Wondering how big of a pain point it is (disclosure: I work on new SSD tech at Intel).

    by Rafuino 8y ago

    For those of you deploying lots of SSDs for work, how often are you having to replace them due to wear out? Many have 5 years warranties with multiple PB written (or drive writes per day), so I wonder how things are in practice.

    Dormando's blog post [1] included a shoutout to Netflix for their adoption of memcached extstore, so now Netflix has provided details on their implementation. Definitely interesting so thought I'd tie things together. [1] https:

    That's what was unclear about the article for me. The recommendation is 8 hours, but under 6 hours is considered sleep deprivation. So... there seems to be a wide amount of flexibility between 6 and 8 hours, and it's likely pers
