    What? Where are these 8:30-4:30-with-a-nice-long-lunch jobs? In my experience, smaller (non bigcorp) companies have to fight to survive and don't have these luxuries..

    Thank you for your thoughtful comment, you've convinced me to take a moment and think more carefully about this. The energy efficiency is an excellent point. Ultimately I am still …

    Thanks, Apple, but no thanks. I'd rather stick with the completely open-source Google Tensor Flow rather than lock myself into any more of Apple's proprietary shit.

    I agree that they are similar in some ways, but under the covers they are fundamentally different beasts in almost all ways!!! Etcd uses Raft and ZooKeeper uses it's own protocol c…
