Not correct. Instances are rate limited based on their type and protocol. Enhanced networking support increases total potential performance, but there are artificial limitations put in place.

“Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.” Carl Jung I share the same thinking. Innovation and art are the product of many things, and not just free time. I won’t claim to know what those things are, but to suppose free time

Slaves were forced to perform labor. These inmates are not forced to perform this labor, and they are compensated for it.

For every day worked, inmates have days removed from their sentence and are paid for hours worked. Comparing this to slavery is silly hyperbole.

Physical redundancy doesn't do much if your infrastructure is controlled by software (deployment, monitoring, scaling, pipelines for updating dependent services) that isn't well controlled. GCE and AWS have both suffered widesprea

Most ladders are fiber glass - which makes me wonder why any off the shelf ladder wouldn't suffice.

It is cheaper, but less flexible. Any cost effective solutions for dealing with bursty demand for compute and networking that aren't AWS?

>Linux can handle maybe 1.5 Mpps per core. That’s barely line rate for 1G. At what packet size? At 1500B, 10Gbps is only 800Kpps. In my experience working a large network, 300-600B seems to be the average. Worst case, that's ~420K

House prices are the most expensive they have ever been relative to average income in 41% of markets [1]. Further, in 83% of markets the ratio of home price to income is growing. For the majority of US counties, we are seeing prices incre

What validates that - the destination or intermediate devices? Spoofing is often just a means for volumetric DDoS attacks - if the destination is responsible for validate sources then we’re no better off there.

There's way too much baked into the current infrastructure (and two instances of layer 3) for this to be feasible. Access-control lists used for filtering, identifying candidate address for services like NAT, and critical data plane o
