I've been using Hadoop in production for about 3 years on a small 48 node cluster. I've seen many issues, but none of the ones mentioned in the blog post. My general theory is that if its an important tool for your business, you need at lea

I doubt it will be anywhere near an exaflop, unless you do some creative rounding. Closer to .01 exaflops. NCSA's Blue Waters is $208m and 10 petaflops, its scheduled to go online by June 30 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Waters

It probably cannot be made to work with flash (without Adobe's help.) To build a p2p system like this, you need greater access to the OS than the flash sandbox will allow. The only way to get this is through a browser plugin. Octoshape had

Sounds a lot like http://esm.cs.cmu.edu/about/index.html btw, I hope he doesn't plan on making money on this. Rinera (now Conviva) tried and failed. Media company executives freak out at any mention of P2P. I bet they freak out even more

I've never sent a thank you note. I've received maybe 1 from the ~200 interviews I've conducted in 15 years. ( The candidate that sent it was awful.) Is anyone offended if they don't receive one ?

I applied for access to this months ago and I'm still waiting. Has anyone received access to this ? Can you comment on your experience with it ? I'm interested in how much data you were able to store into it and what kind of response time y

What about crowd sourcing the data collection ? Make an app to let sports fans enter the data as they watched the game and publish it under a CC license ? I've been to many baseball games where I've seen people keeping score on paper while

Excellent Essay PG! I was at Lycos about the same time, and what was going on there was very similar to what you describe at Yahoo. Search was considered a commodity and out sourced to FAST. Lycos wanted to be considered a "Media Company" t

My neighbor got a Comodore PET around Christmas of 1979. I was 11, and I knew the minute I saw it that I wanted to know everything about it. When my neighbor wasn't home, I would sneak into their house via a basement window, and teach mysel

I'm from Pittsburgh. Moved back 4 years ago after living in Boston for 6. Moved because I believe that Pittsburgh is a great place to raise a family. My wife is a stay at home mom and we couldn't pull this off in Boston. If you look hard en
