interestingly, to keep the profit margin, they are also pushing for SSDs that have even higher per GB cost, e.g. Optane.

The boom of China's Internet sector didn't happen until ~2008.

The link and communication is always there and it is strong. I spent 12 years living/studying/working in the west, such experience is shared by millions of other Chinese in my generation. Most western media are freely accessible f

Please look at my post again, I said GFW _helped_ to create the recent economic development. Of course the economy of a country like China can not be improved single-handedly by a system or by a single sector. I further pointed out that GFW

nothing special here, just a 16GB card got marked as 64GB, this kind of scam has been there for ages. You got hit by dishonest marketing BS from big brands all the time as well, buying from reliable brand and its recommended (overpriced) ch

What you mentioned is a typical misunderstanding. The economic liberalization didn't happen in most part of China until the 90s. For example, Shanghai didn't start until 1991, Beijing was another few years later than that. Even fo

First thing first, I didn't downvote you or anyone else - because I simply don't have enough karma to downvote anyone. Please check my public profile before pointing fingers, that would be a much more civilised move. I was educate

it is completely different, in the 15th Century, the Haijin policy was used to stop "barbarians" from flooding the country. there is nothing to gain from trading with the rest of the world because the country was ranked No.1 in th

Like it or not, the GFW helped to created the "most dramatic periods of economic development" in Chinese history. Back in 2010, when Google chose to exit China, many argued the exact same that China is isolating itself from the ou

Non-sense. Just check online articles and blogs to see when they started to block stuff like linux ipsec vpn. You may also check the reports on how/when they "talk" to the shadowsocks vpn author to force him to stop working o

I'd recommend to have a look at the etcd raft tests in the link below, you probably need to port them to work with your raft library. https://github.com/coreos/etcd/tree/master/raft

must be etcd then. ;) it took etcd about 2 years to become mature on its _single_ group raft implementation. the abstraction in raft.go is pretty good, the test suite is the best I can find, message passing and tick handling is correctly ha

you've never fully implemented raft or paxos. it is well known that such distributed consensus libraries can be extremely easy (a couple of days coding) to start with, but it can take ages to get it polished to the extent to be product

Indeed, see my other comment, Linus is too nice to such company trying to sneak in this unwanted surprise purely for the benefit of their "security processor".

The link I provided contains detailed benchmark results of the mentioned system against 6950x. In quite a few workloads, e.g. SPECwpc, it is beating 6950x by up to 42%. See page 4. The maths is really simple here - i9-7900x need to beat i7-

"meaning he is one of the worst analysts and has been wrong all the time" If that is the case, then his comments is actually consistently reliable - you can always take the opposite of what he says and pocket the money.
