Yeah, I looked through the article, but never does he mention that one rack of today's server vintage might have an extra order of magnitude more RAM, if not cores, than one from 5 years ago. Ten years ago, four-core Barcelona Opterons

To be fair, there's something that is actually more advanced. In the settings, you can now block sources you don't ever want to see, by entering names. Before, you had to play the lottery of "wait until this stupid source wit

What Project Kennedy tried to do and wasn't allowed to once the pitchforks came out, Material Design has successfully accomplished. I spent ten minutes trying to find the setting for a compact layout (like the Kennedy versions of Gmail

The US have always liked to apply their laws on American entities even on foreign soil, see e.g. IRS taxation. Based on decades of precedents like that, it's not difficult to see them attempt to apply the same reasoning for communicati

At Google you just don't get something released to the public, let alone to people that paid for a device which an update could brick, on a whim. Even if someone outside the Glass team did all the code changes, they would need someone

Google getting 3 units, let alone 300, built in its home turf of Mountain View is quite the breakthrough. If it sounds silly to you, it's because you are not familiar with the soap opera that is the relationship between the city and it

Google ended up using RDMA. The TIMELY paper, unfortunately, does not mention publicly the applications and services taking advantage of it, but the Tensorflow site confirms that it's one of them.

Wikimedia actually uses Kubernetes, but not on the serving path (yet?): https://kubernetes.io/case-studies/wikimedia/

Kubernetes doesn't support ALBs natively yet, but there's a third party controller for them. The tcpdump approach is painful, but usually works.

I briefly evaluated ECS more than a year ago and it was lacking even more features than Kubernetes did. It has improved quite a bit since then, but Kubernetes has added even more functionality in the meantime. In a nutshell, if you run more

In places like India, where landmark-based navigation is the norm or there aren't many road names (especially outside of large cities), Google Maps uses businesses as landmarks. A random example: https://goo.gl/maps&#x2

Yeah, Google Maps in Japan knows a lot more, e.g. it shows actual road widths with delimited sidewalks or it tells you about train platforms and elevators when switching lines. The data is from a third party (ZENRIN, check the bottom of the
