I _think_ it's a small/medium/large reference, but it's definitely an unconventional way to put it.
yes, common estimating method. My group at Lab 126 used it. you're correct his usage is uncommon
If you are interested in VDI without the complexity that comes with AWS check us out at https://www.paperspace.com (YCW15) a few key differences: - we can stream directly to a web browser without any plugins - you can fire up a new machine in just a few minutes - all of our machines have GPUs that make the experience feel great (we work with architects, engineers, and others that need a fluid desktop experience) - we…
However... I frequently work with very, very, very limited and intermittent bandwidth (i.e. off of my mobile phone via railline), so unless Paperless can work offline, your statement/bullet, "Untethered Agility" seem particularly deceptive!

As a (primarily) iOS developer by trade, I feel your pain. There are colocation operations that seem to do well. They involve racks and racks of Mac minis hanging out in a datacenter somewhere -- since it's Apple hardware, it's totally acceptable within OS X licensing terms. It costs more, of course, but it might be a valuable investment to an operation that relies on a volume of machines to be available and shareabl…
Awesome thank you!

Thanks for answering! Other providers for OS X solutions are super dodgy / shutdown / involve time sharing (no imaging, you store everything into a personal Dropbox). I ask about OS X support as the requirement for OS X to run Xcode kills a lot of iOS development workshops as the cost is to high / device availability is low. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
I don't believe there is anything like RDP built into OSX, so I don't forsee anything like this for apple any time soon.

I'm interested in the concept of a VDI - and both https://paperspace.io/ and http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/ look interesting. However... I frequently work with very, very, very limited and intermittent bandwidth (i.e. off of my mobile phone via railline), so unless Paperless can work offline, your statement/bullet, " Untethered Agility " seem particularly deceptive!
As far as "untethered agility" goes, it was intended to speak to being free to access your computer from any device! Sorry for the confusion :)

Guacamole is a great project for using VNC/RDP protocols. We have developed our own protocol at Paperspace which we are constantly optimizing for sub-optimal conditions which can include low bandwidth and low-quality (i.e. lots of dropped packets). That said, we are primarily building for a world where access to high quality, fast internet is a reality. As far as "untethered agility" goes, it was intended to speak to…
The irony of the "phone on a train limit" is that I have a phenomenal fiber line into my house. So I know how awesome, "high quality, fast internet" can be!
I was not confused about intent behind "untethered agility". My point was, I can use my laptop completely and genuinely untethered where ever I want for as long as my battery lasts. In other words, by default the only necessary tether is for power; and even then, I can go for almost an entire workday before I need that tether. Paperweight, as well as the other VDI options, actually require a near constant network tether for operation.

Sorry, I've seen it used in a few environments now... felt like it was common nomenclature. Googling around seems to confirm.
My bet is that if/when this kicks off a bit more the next move will be Amazon laptops (these being like Chromebooks).

Once you graduate away from cable, it's pretty cheap in a central business district or office park. I think we have 100meg circuits everywhere now.
Unless Charter owns the monopoly in your area.. $80/mo for 100/7 copper, or $450/mo for 100 symmetrical fiber.
When you're siting an office, it's definitely something to look at.
