Thanks for the references. I was referring to who did a large _volume of traffic_ in this type of distributed node first on a _global scale_ - not who did it / patented it first. Most importantly, outside the North-American/Europe

You can't survive as an ISP if you don't have GGC nodes or directly peered with google DC. If your customer wants to watch youtube videos and you serve them through internet only, which will either mean you will have to buy more B

Yup, as an ISP owner, I can tell you 70-75% of my traffic come through GGC, for every 1gbps traffic from cache nodes 100mbps on average is pulled from the internet. Even with GGC nodes, it's still very expensive, BW-wise.

My beef was not more like "who did it first", I honestly don't know and I couldn't find a reference online of anyone did something like this at this scale before google/youtube/akamai. The Point is the global s

Many of the things Netflix does here google does too and has been doing for a long time like GGC (Google Global Cache) for free at ISP NOC or datacenters - their GGC nodes are many orders of magnitude time is distribution. 90% of the Google

Wow, Peter Thiel, is annoying, to say the least. He sounds like someone who lives in a bubble that is completely decoupled from the real world. He doesn't even let anyone else make any point. Am I even allowed to say all these without

I could very well be wrong. Since we are all guessing here, my guess is as good as yours or anyone (who is not an insider and sharing the whole story).

Since we don't know the exact specification of the problem other than what he said, she said. Hand welding could be because their auto bot welding parts were having issues, and are in the process of fixing them. Is it really that bad?

If I understand correctly, the current speed bump in production is temp issue in production - which is a fixable problem that's taking a bit of time. That doesn't mean they should halt all their other projects in the pipeline. If

Gradual change is better than no change at all. For a country like Saudi, if you want to make a large scale sudden changes which turns everything upside-down (even if those were good intentions), you will end up with something like Afganist

Not working for Google, but I think it's for multiple reasons. - hardware has gotten a lot faster, which helps the second reason. - Google giving away free GGC nodes to ISPs (if you meet their requirements). The distribution of these n

True. My rule of thumb, anything over 4TB, 7200rpm or not - I use only for long backup. Not on production app that needs good IO speed.

100G has been around for a while and not that common in usage, other than extreme cases. 10g and 40G are still the most widely used ports. Considering that most switches and routers have a minimum 10-20 ports (10g-40g), that's already

Bandwidth is obviously not the only cost of ISP. The volume of BW even though internal CDN has to get the data from somewhere. For example in the case of GGC (Google Global Cache), for each 1 Gbps of output 100mbps on average is pulled from
