Google secured 5 new buildings in a very nice location in Zürich at the end of 2014: http://www.nzz.ch/zuerich/google-zieht-an-die-europaallee-1.... This article says this is enough space for 5000 more employees.

One notable thing here is that even if the proportions are the same, in the end the absolute amount of money you are putting in your savings every month is higher. Or, in other words, if you're going in vacation in a less expensive cou

I had the same feeling when reading this article. That's nothing like "high performance", especially the 5ms median latency. memcached is a whole two orders of magnitude lower in terms of median latency.

The example is using multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool which does not have the GIL problem you mention (at the cost of making it harder to share data).
