As consumers we don't need it. If it was up to us we would never agree to invest so much into this tech for so little gain. But all those giant corporations always want to sell you more devices, more expensive services, show you ads fa

We don't need to study how specific complex tech affects humans if we know how radiation does in general, what energies are needed to penetrate the skin, etc. There is pretty much no reason to study 5g tech specifically.

Also could be coming from competing industries. Like you can find articles from ISP, telco suppliers in their own media pushing propaganda about harmful wifi without even bothering to hide that the whole thing is completely fabricated.

That feature is just marketing, 30 GHz small cells need to be like within each room people live to be reliable.

Maybe check out TokuDB, I haven't tried it myself, but it has things like tokudb_cleaner_iterations [1] and tokudb_cleaner_period. There is also MyRocks based on RocksDB fork of LevelDB, but LevelDB is piece of garbage, not sure about

A database storage engine, a decent one by modern standards at least, has to do some things in background and rewrite the data continuously either way. Log structured with all the scrubbing, merging, compression, optimizations, etc. natural

This is why edge computing is going to be different. You have to be able to fetch and rely on data from the closest nodes, prefetch all the likely queries all at once, merge updates locally to keep relying on them while resyncing in backgro

Yes, edge functions need proper distributed strongly eventually consistent infrastructure to make them actually useful, including databases and object storages. But it's too cutting edge for Cloudflare, not sure if they can even get th

In the end it all comes down to reviewing code you have to trust. It's just that it's too much for most code, so there has to be something that makes potentially insecure code explicit and dealt with on use and the rest of the cod

There are some things to do, but not if you want to trust random third parties. In which case nothing will save you, because not only you have to trust them, you also have to trust they are not compromised and have impenetrable security. So

Too much confirmation bias in the article. Of course if you like networking you want to justify spending time on it. Realistically, though, it's better to be known of by many people, than to meet just a few people in person on the off

ISPs in many countries by law don't have the power to exclude things they don't like and competition prevents other abuses. If there are no laws like that in your country and not enough competition, you can zoom out to the problem

Engineers, like almost all employees, have to work for a living and will build whatever they have to build. Jobs are not easily replaceable for them to be able to take a stand. This means that even highly skilled and highly specialized engi

This is what so sad about tech, it gives those in power unprecedented abilities to control the population. Essentially heading back to slavery through technology with no way out for the slaves anymore.

They will always find what to arrest you for if you threaten their power.

US startups are not exactly trustworthy by default and VC backing seems to often force them to abuse any power and control they have over users for VCs benefits. And security and privacy these days more often than not is just a cover to do

There are plenty of products/services built by a single person that only hired more people once they were able to afford it and needed it. This is especially common when access to VC funding is pretty much non-existent and you can&#x27

It's technically proprietary code for many countries, since there is no concept of public domain there.

You are assuming they do, but they likely don't. Counter example for this is SQLite. Almost everyone considers it open source, presumably even you. Lots of projects that embed it are considered open source. SQLite, however, is not OSI

Still open source, but I guess you think Debian, Fedora, etc. are willing to ignore a lot of new open source software with more restrictive licenses and sacrifice some or a lot of their user base in favor of more full featured distros. I do

It's irrelevant if you don't want to recognize, that people usually don't use OSI's definition when they talk about "open source".

by zzzcpan 8y ago
It removes the status of OSI approved license if it used such license, because it becomes a different license, but it's still what people usually call open source. And it doesn't matter if you don't like the common meaning of

For those who have no resources rate limiting still works better and easier than captchas. You shouldn't do rate limiting per IP though, do rate limiting per /24 subnet, /16, /8, /0 per http method per URL, etc. Typ

On unixy systems kernel manages buffers by itself, using as little memory as possible, not allocating anything when no data is received, and userspace doesn't need to allocate any memory either until it is notified and decides to non-b

If only that was true. Consistency is a design constraint, not a production problem. Making things work well in real world in production is the hard part, this is what distributed systems are actually about. And I like that about Aurora, fo

Jepsen is about consistency and doesn't address most of the things the paper is focused on, real world production things.
