   Those two are pretty much it. I believe the ordering of the data transmission can matter as well (i.e. you are about to send 3 packets of 3 different sizes. the ordering might change deliverability behavior.) I guess I meant it was an inter

   Depends on the use-case. If you are streaming a live sports event you don't want the video frames to fall behind from the real clock too far, but you also don't want the video to stutter when there is packet loss. I believe you ca

   I agree this scenario could happen. That's certainly been the cycle. But if we go back to thinking about this problem from first principles [1], I think certain things have changed. 1. Hosting a complex app in the "cloud" has

   Mostly looking for decent query language, decent charting, and API to grab chart data. Seems like you guys fit the bill. I'll do the 30 day trial, and see how it goes. Thanks for the response.

   Hi snewman, I am currently using logdna as my splunk alternative, but it's not very good. Why should I try scalyr next, over the other alternatives ? My main constraint is the solution should be at least half as good as splunk, and cos

    PoS will not solve anything. PoS is just obfuscated proof of work. The same amount of "resources" will be wasted in a PoS system, its just going to be a different type of resource. Required reading http://www.truthcoin.

    It's "slightly" easier for a local monopoly to write a check to bribe a politician than to "squeeze out" or "collude" with a "new competition". (it's simply a path of least resistance). But
