You'll notice that Intel isn't coming to Anandtech and offering to break open a bunch of android phones and comparing them with the atom android port. On windows Intel is benefitting from a kernel and compiler that's spent 15 years being op

If there is only one thing I wished someone had told me when I started out it would be not to include grants as part of your compensation calculations. It is rare that they'll ever be worth a dime and even rarer that getting a little less/m

A properly configured IOMMU (VT-d in intel parlance) should prevent most physical ram dump attack vectors. The good news is that almost all x86 chips are shipping with one on die these days. The bad news is that support is thin - many vendo

Given his portfolio I'd be thinking more along the lines of oracle. You're taking it all too seriously though. All he's saying is "stop bringing me hyper local social mobile, we rode that trend into the ground" while trying to not sound tha

I don't know about 100tb specifically, but some general notes about the "hundreds of dollars for a dedicated port" market: yes, the transit is not super. i wouldn't run voice on it, but i'd surely run bulk transfers off of it. of course the

The elasticity, no capex and api management are great. But bending over backwards to deal with their terrible SAN, saturated layer 2 and low reliability easily wastes at least as much engineer time as it saves in ops. If the OP's 100 boxes

In the alternate universe where something like this could happen, wouldn't it just result in companies being more reluctant to publish an API in the first place?

It's interesting to note that the drone that the iranians spoofed and forced to land relied on encrypted gps, however they were successful at what is assumed to be a gps spoofing attack. The likely scenario is that systems are designed to f

Lots of content on netflix isn't encoded in hd which means the average stream rate includes many streams that can't go above 1.xMbps. And their top stream rate for hd last time i checked was something like 6Mbps - clearly ruling out anyones

I don't disagree with the conclusions, but don't you have to short stroke those ssds pretty significantly in a high transaction environment to avoid write amplification? It's too bad longevity worries are keeping them out of the no commitme

it's a reputational and data quality issue as well. completely decentralized content distribution doesn't usually work unless there is some kind of curation, there are just too many motivations for disruption. it's not an impossible problem

It's also trivial to be able to pose as someone else's computer on coffeeshop style wifi networks. It's likely the same is true here, which would allow anyone inclined to pose as the owner which could suck with a usage based pricing model.

Even using encryption that is trivially defeated is effective at resisting broadly applied surveillance as long as the fact that it's trivially defeated isn't public. That's because you need to restrict the application of the technique to a
