Any plans to run some packets per second benchmarks with latency? Everything today can run at line rate, especially with jumbo frames. These existing benchmarks don't show much. Networking people want to see how many PPS you can push,

PCO350 and PCO500. They're on the loud side, but they work well.

Meh. Just another bash Facebook rant. When are we going to ask the grownups at Goldman Sachs to stand up? Chevron? Dow Chemical? Dupont? And on and on. There are no morals in corporate America, only quarterly and year end bonuses. Any talk

I have a pair of Vornados with the same setup. They're life-changers (no exaggeration).

Interesting that they can't force people into help. Some Western democracies have provisions for forcing people into help: UK with the previous ASBO laws, US with wards of the state, and even San Francisco targeting 100 "most hope

Not being snarky, but there are homeless people in Sweden? In the US we're regaled with tales of the Scandanavian social safety nets. We're told everyone is taken care of. That's not the case?

Counterpoint, the best place to spend counterfeit money is a music festival....and then it gets passed down to you. I've picked up a half dozen counterfeits at music festivals. Sucks if you're not really paying attention.

Not just automation, but some industrialization, too. I was shocked to watch them build railroads, essentially by hand. One Dutch guy was working the surveying tools, and a translator stood next to him, shouting out the orders. What appeare

And lots of people stayed through working on Open Connect while still using Akamai. It didn't happen overnight.

I find it hard to believe that you "let go" of people with physical infrastructure expertise after you "moved to AWS." Netflix has a massive physical hardware project with Open Connect and runs one of the largest bandwid

The Hotmail front-end ran as an ISAPI filter inside IIS. Messenger had lots of standalone binaries for different functions: CS, SB, DP, etc. BitTorrent is used in Dropbox, Twitter, MSN, etc to distribute binaries throughout the server platf

MSN Hotmail and Messenger used torrents to distribute binaries in 2006. It's not new nor novel. And I'm sure someone did it before they did.

Indeed. They also said a major hosting company got sabotaged gear. Surely someone at said hosting company took a picture of the board, kept a board, or something. People at hosting companies aren't paid very much, so they're not i

In my experience, the blind drive to the cloud comes from above. It's someone's pet project and you're either on-board or not. I won't go as far as calling it yet another cyclical IT phase, but it has all the hallmarks o

Same with Vanguard and Fidelity. I could steal someone's funds if I really wanted to. Now that I think about it, Quicken and TurboTax too. People signed up for all kinds of important things using my email.

Adopted a very loving FIV+ cat that lived way longer than the shelter said he would. Adopting him was one of the best decisions I ever made. He never went outside, but he never showed one hint at ever wanting to go out. He went from feral c

Hyperbole much? MySQL replication was workable before GTID. GTID simply made things a lot easier. GTID was hard to work into existing DB's at places like Facebook, but it we managed to get things going without a DBA in several multi-TB

Indeed. MySQL replication topologies with GTID are super easy to maintain and run. Does Postgres still require "extra" tools like pg_rewind to do a simple operation like turning a former primary server into a new replica? Some of

Living Earth HD is great. Full disclosure, I formerly worked with the author.

That is not true. Single mode fiber definitely comes in at an angle and bounces off the cladding. You still have a cone of acceptance at play. You're confusing multiple terms and concepts here.

by scurvy 8y ago
Don't forget fiber splices for accidental cuts. Engineers have to try their best to match the existing refraction when splicing in the new patch. Tools help, but there's a lot of skill and craftsmanship there.

by scurvy 8y ago
It's actually about 60% the speed of light because there's no vacuum in buried fiber. But yes the rest of your point is accurate.

What meaningful CDN integrations are in Google Cloud?

Black Scholes is a terrible model though. Just ask LTCM what they think of Bob and Myron's toy. Put another way, "don't get high on your own supply."

Your ideas around uptime are still in the 70's. Systemd updates require reboots. Then there's Spectre and Meltdown BIOS updates, gotta reboot for those. Oh and the SSD and NIC firmware as well. To think we formerly only had one de

Mining requires enough infrastructure and investment to be easily identified. Mining might have been anonymous 4+ years ago, but not now.

Well, they're not free gains. It's also not any different than buying on any other day from an investing standpoint. Risk is still the amount of margin requirement (excluding derivative hedges).

You're confusing stock with options.
