less and less operating system?

(I say that tongue in cheek, looking at unikernels)

a dear friend of mine is a YT SRE and he's never been happier with his work life balance.

I send 5Gbps to an eyeball network (let's say Comcast, for the sake of discussion) it might cost me $5000/month to do that through my transit provider (intentionally inflated cost). Comcast will interconnect, settlement free, to networks who exchange 7 or more Gbps. Three optics and three cross connects are $3000 + $600/month.

How much is that additional 2Gbps of traffic (to Comcast) worth?

Hi! I'll admit it's poorly worded. My intention was to say there was an economic value in providing less-than-cost (or even free -- only you and your accountants knew) bandwidth in order to scale out your network and increase value to customers paying much more.

though not as often today as in times past, there are points where 10Gbps is more expensive overall than 20 or 30Gbps.

imgur worked because a CDN named voxel could readily use the bandwidth bump provided by hosting images to decrease their overall network costs.

can you link to the paper or give the title/authors/DOI?

guess what the US Dollar is backed by? guess what many monetary systems have been based on for quite sometime?

debt!

what does this add instead of using whois?

I dream of having a MIPS or PowerPC laptop. a shame the 3A variant went with a binary blob graphics processor (not that there are many alternatives) and that the 3B processor isn't available as a laptop as of now.

you ever called a taxi service while in the middle of a suburb at 1am?

this (SyntaxNet) is also about natural language understanding (NLU)

I know they have a quantum computer, Watson AI, and that Power architecture...but isn't IBM primarily a sales and consulting company? at least, by revenue and headcount?

I hope Arista pushes other vendors to open up their hardware and provide more APIs

free, online domain appraisals are worthless.

the fringe benefits and consulting/speaking fees post-FBI make up for it and then some.

the first version of Meraki were NetBSD -- same for Apple Airport devices. Junipers management plane has historically been FreeBSD (but that is unfortunately changing)

other than something like seL4, no one _knows_ what is really secure. however it would be hard to argue that a decade+ of container systems such as FreeBSD Jail and Solaris' functional equivalent (the precise name escapes me) don't have useful lessons "Linux can learn from".

it seems there is no way to message directly. I hope you see this as well -- would love to discuss further.

yes, I am purchasing a connection to every computer on the network. that is the internet. an _internet service provider_ is providing me a service that allows me to connect to the internet. and the internet is all the networks. they may not give me an SLA to each destination, but I am most certainly purchasing access to all the networks -- not just their own.

no one is purchasing comcast service just to connect to other comcast customers.

>If a website is using significant resources, it shouldn't be on the ISP to subsidize their engineering. There have been plenty of websites throughout history that took up significant amounts of traffic relative to the total traffic. They always paid for leased lines (your third diagram) -- it's only recently that one very well liked company running almost entirely off Amazon decided that leased lines were extortion. If you compare the physical infrastructure of Google's YouTube or MLB.tv to Netflix, the difference is huge.

I don't follow. I am a consumer who has purchased an internet service package that advertises 100Mbps down, 10Mbps up, and 100GB of transfer every billable month.

If I, the ISP, have 1000 customers fully utilizing that 100Mbps down between 6-11pm _it is my engineering problem_

Whether it is netflix, google, mlb, or literally anything else. _it is my engineering problem_ to provide the service I am charging for.

no, when your house is on fire the property-tax funded fire department comes and attempts to put it out.

the "free tier" of municipal services is actually just a form of socialism!! eek!

your network shares have public, routable IP addresses? that, in my opinion, would be a far bigger issue than 'leaking' a hosts IP address.

As a long time service provider network engineer I appreciate network clueful companies and recommend none and packet.net.

Vultr advertises and supports anycast, if you're looking for a multi-location vps provider. Others will do bgp but it's a sales process

That assumes universal or consistent application of the law, which is very rarely the intention behind these kinds of laws

nice. I'd love to swap stories some time. I'm posting this from Malawi doing some CD/PMD testing on a new 48 core that runs the length of the country.

just the code, for anything recent and useful. I'm not aware of anything else, sadly.

evasion is theft. avoidance is fiscally prudent.

I'm also a customer and sorely disappointed there is no API for the call flow. It'd be really neat to call my number, press some keys, enter a PIN, and add the caller ID to a huntgroup, for example.

but, can't do that. or anything else. must login and edit call flow manually. :(

interesting how that works. I've been involved with a few long haul build outs on the African continent and 48 strand is nearly universal. My understanding from talking to project managers is "more cable length per reel = less shipping costs & less splicing"

that and utilizing only a pair with 8 wavelengths on it now means they're probably good for the next 10-15 years anyway.

probably...

why are they hosting services on their dynamically addressed business line? everyone offers static addressing on business lines. it's a completely rip off; and conveniently makes the proper route -- colocation, a dedicated server, "the cloud" -- more financially sound.
