Your method has one huge drawback - time consumption on candidate's side. Before doing this test I would recommend a simple preliminary test to quickly eliminate obvious misfits. It's also in align with Joel's recommendation[

Similar concerns were raised when China embargoed rare metals. In reality, the industry adapted smoothly and it's not the topic anymore. And yes, strictly per economic theory (which is very practical) we will never run out of Helium. J

Not all ACID transactions are equal. This is just a key-value store-like test. It shows the potential to scale, yet nothing regarding performance in real word. 32 c3.2xlarge instances have 1920GB memory. Given 1 billion 16B+ 8..100B values

Nope, they don't release energy as such, just "resell" it. They buy and consume energy when it's cheap, then they sell it at higher price by not using it. That's why they call it "virtual".

To be fair, Linux evolves a lot since then. It's not as monolithic as it used to be - it has layers, modules, subsystems (vfs, usb), interfaces.

Just small note: This is not a pair-to-pair competition to consistent hashing. This algorithm requires consistent mapping between nodes and (consecutive) integers--that's not something you get for free in distributed systems where node

Have you realized that not only OpenSSL, but any exploitable bug in any software that runs on servers (PHP, Apache, nginx, Linux, etc) should theoretically invalidate any certificate that is stored on those servers?
