GG&S: I had two separate MDs at a gym off campus and the head of my dept (biomedical informatics) exclaim "that's the best book I ever read!"

Exactly. Wealth transfer and mobility for some, but not growing a middle class sufficiently to realize these artificial investments. China could invest more in better equiping peop…

Isnt there an entire replica of Paris with barely 1k people? How can value be justified with whole half-finished cities with no customers? Sounds like deferring a real-estate crash…

"OpenZFS" actually means ZoL, the only way to legally ship meant dkms until now, unless there has been CDDL/GPL reinterpretation, a different codebase or agreement with Redwood Sho…

Most previous jailbreaks required an unlocked device with passcode disabled and find my iphone turned off (because passcode encrypts things). I'm still waiting for JB for 9.2.1 or …

Tim Cook: a really nice guy with blue whale-sized cohones. There can be no compromise because China, Syria and Turkey would also lean on Apple to break into phones of dissidents, a…

Controllers are important for being gatekeepers, which can be adjusted (think middlewares which add security, logging or other changes uniformly) and inspected outside of the MVC c…

It's still at the mercy of Apple, Intel and all the other opaque firmware vendors and microcode updates. Plus, it's not nearly UNIX enough, the damn linker doesnt do linker scripts…

Most of these single system image clusters have used custom, fast interconnects akin to Inifinband or hypertransport to ameliorate locality issues (latency and bandwidth)... Withou…

There's only so many TB of ram / disk and cores that can fit in one box for sensible cost, whereas it's usually far cheaper and less limited to just add more boxes, plus the SPoF o…

Maybe I wasnt clear enough: what happens to these unfortunate folks that hand in bricked phones whom are unable to erase content? Refurbished by third parties, sent to engineering,…

Computing's RAID0 with worse performance and worse reliability. With traditional enterprise hypervisors, boxes are sized for least TCO and to be large enough to comfortably hold th…
