The article did update with a benchmark link comparing a couple of models to a fusion io card. http://www.percona.com/blog/2014/08/12/benchmarking-exflash-... So the 95%, write latency is 1-1.5 msec for

But raw flash writes on the order of 1-2 milliseconds, so the 5 microseconds must be the latency to write to a ram cache inside the stick. I wonder what the latency would be for a write larger than the buffer. For that matter, how large is

No, but it's a short digestible concept - right or wrong the danger is that the meme overrides than a more nuanced policy discussion. And that is likely the goal of the author.

How many times to you think companies would pay to run a connection to a house? After the first, or maybe even the second time, does the financial payback for laying additional redundant physical lines make sense? City gov't is a minor

I've wondered in the past how good some expert system like Watson would do with legal databases. There's a lot of speculation on how automation is going to reduce factory jobs, but very little discussion about Watson could maybe w

Increasingly, as a customer, I feel like there's been some sort of shift in Amazon's operating philosophy. There isn't any one big fault, but I feel like I'm getting less value - maybe it's just because of some smal

I think my concern is that if the power structure is an Oligarchy, it matters little if the label on the government structure is Communism, or Democracy. The worry from increasing inequality in the west is that we are approaching something

Agreed! I can access Netflix and Amazon Prime Video on a Roku at home, and the Amazon interface is really bad. What might be called catalog "grooming" is bad too - associated shows for, say a TV series, might show up under the sam

Besides humanitarian reasons? How about this: the risk model for ebola is based on limited empirical data from past strains. The current outbreak already exceeds past outbreaks. If the virus is different than the past, or it mutates, then t

The protection is useful because for a highway rear-end accident to occur, a chain of at least two events has to occur. The car ahead of you has to significantly decelerate, and in the same window of time, the rear-ending driver has to be d

So legally Marriott was wrong, but from a technical implementation standpoint does this policy lead to fewer users being able to connect to Wifi at a conference? Are the regulations in this case meeting the end goal of the FCC - that good u

On one hand, if it was jamming guest Wifi in hotel rooms it seems Marriott was acting badly. On the other hand, if this is in the context of trying to provision wifi for a conference, where there may be a lot of users packed into a dense sp

Would it work out for you if you just had to install one app for all of those uses - e.g. one generic "physical web" app?

It is, but I think the really interesting part is to making the connection seamless and as direct as feasible. e.g. how do you do it on one end of the spectrum if neither the embedded device or the users device has access to the internet, b

If anything the problem may be increased today. E.g. IBM in 1960 had around 100k employees, and today has around 430k. The distance between a "line" employee and executive team has to have increased with that scale up of employee
