Leaving the gravity well of a planet depends on delta-v needed to leave that gravity well, not just on getting high enough in the atmosphere. We can easily send balloons to 'space' on earth, but they don't have the speed to a

Perhaps it is implying that driving to Canada takes a long time and you would want to easily switch responsibility of driving with your passenger?

That's incorrect, you're looking at user "1" which is here: https://github.com/1 The "created_at": "2012-06-07T06:10:07Z" also gives it away. i.e., my profile is here: https:/&#

It looks like Nvidia's financial quarters are a couple of quarters ahead of calendar quarters.

Yeah, you're actually right. I relied on my memory of pricing them out a bit back, and it looks like the prices are much closer to other DIMMs now.

Well, it depends on how much stuff you're buying and from whom. If you're buying $800 dollar workstations you won't get as many discounts as when you're buying 400+GB quad CPU 2U servers

Indeed, there would be discounts from Dell, but I also expect companies to buy some extra add-ons and subscription/support services that cancel them out that I didn't see in the high level specs.

I priced out the hardware that they specced out to be around $1.4 million: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/727#note... The R730xd are probably around $50k after dell discounts - depends a

On the storage front, even enterprise grade SSDs with hundreds of thousands of 4k read and write IOPs set up in over-provisioned arrays won't give you a great SLA unless you really lowball it and say the SLA is 99th percentile latency

The data is bad. I have a lot of insight into the apps side of things, and Android is somewhat smaller than iOS in Japan, both on revenue and downloads.

Another way you'd typically do it is some sort of mental estimation based on cadence, slope and power meter output, but even this does get hard after many hours.

Right, I knew there was a misunderstanding initially over what company I was referring to (CleverTap, not 10gen/MongoDB) and we were mostly on the same page :) RocksDB is great, WT is getting to be great, both are getting better and ha

Spimmy, I am not sure about the context of what you're saying though I agree with the context and feedback of your comments, but I am basing the 600 QPS based on this comment on the blog post linked in the article: >To put things in

I'm not trying to critique the company's engineering, but the workloads and challenges they are facing are not really high in QPS. The company says they get about 600 QPS. These are database QPS, not even service QPS! Now no matte

Sorry if I was not clear enough in the question: Do you mean you would completely not do anything social / consumer related and build a b2b/enterprise product, or just pick a tangental/related market in consumer apps?

This is a start, but the underlying data is something like $200k of SEM spend across what looks like a couple of campaigns. How confident are you that this is not specific to the campaigns/industry/clients/etc? Also, Wesley,

It seems to be a case of transitioning marketing claims from those about the potential of the core underlying technology to more real world scenario benefits. Some of the numbers included latency in the kernel/driver, so they are more

I know this sounds trite, but you typically want to incorporate with either 10 million or 100 million shares (10 million being much easier to deal with) initially. Imagine giving someone .25% equity - this means you will give them 25 shares

I disagree, as this simple test suite is not meant to be a definitive guide on which hash function is the best. I would venture to say that your criticism is similar to saying that the Hutter Prize[1] is a terrible idea for someone who will

I understand there are difference between hash functions and hash tables* (and between implementations of hash maps , dictionaries, etc). I do not understand the need to down-vote the comment that I think is relevant to the discussion of
