It's happened to me once or twice, surprisingly mostly at Fremont (the factory). All the supercharging stations have data. When the superchargers were introduced to owners, the idea was that the car (also cellular / data-enabled)

What this article fails to talk about are primarily the failure scenarios of the queues under partitions. Does the queue become write-unavailable, read-unavailable, inconsistent, or otherwise during network partition? Can the queue remain p

This is a cool initiative, but honestly, I would far prefer if open source projects started to implement DANE.

It would be interesting to see if you can use the Myriad option to swap it for a Ath9K, and use it as a WiFi card instead. I presume that the LM6002D is going to be wired to the shared FPGA. It'd be neat to have a 100% open firmware wi

So, I wouldn't use this box because it doesn't ECC Memory ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory ). Google some years ago did a study on DRAM errors in the wild, in order to determine if there was an actual

Ideally, if the webserver should just return HTTP 420 (Enhance your calm), 429 (Too many requests), or 509 (Bandwidth Limit exceeded).

Yep. I've done a lot of work with Basho's Riak already, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

So, I've actually been thinking a lot about this problemset. I think that polyglot databases are the future. Most applications can deal with eventual consistency, or at least bounded stale reads [see: most interactions with Twitter, Fa

Yes, but how will potential candidates improve if they don't get feedback? Be a good person.

My guess is that they're probably going to spend some time building their own CDN / image storage. I think they used some combination of dedicated servers, RDBMS, CloudFlare, and AWS. They could save some significant operating cos

Yes. IPv6 all over. Actually, we're looking at deprecating IPv6 at the transport layer entirely, and moving to IPv4 in IPv6 over GRE tunnels, but that's largely reliant on having RFC5549 in a few specific places (the edge terms).

Our new DC are all IPv6 enabled (we started launching them in December) with dual stack, and preference for IPv6. Only 1 of the DCs are online so far, and we're already pushing around something like 3 Gb/s of traffic over V6. It w

Only if you mirror the data. If you only have one copy of the data, it wont magically repair itself.

Yeah, but as opposed to data corruption, your data will throw an error when you try to read it. It's just a different failure mode. In production, SSDs will often accept a write, take a sync/flush (acknowledge they've been wr
