Linkedin is only useful because of the network effects of having a lot of people on it. Most of the complaints about linkedin are about the people on it (and the tendency of some to use it as a platform for self promotion) Any platform looking to replace linkedin would have the same issues.

Not the case; I work at a bank and we have widescale adoption of Kubernetes and cloud products (in fact most of the major banks do at this point)

If you happen to be looking for a DevOps or SRE role, check a large banks job boards, you'll be surprised how many open roles are available.

This sounds awful. if you have a person sharing the same space you live in but turns out to be messy and abhorrent, you'll barely ever get a chance to talk it out with them. Also there seems to be an assumption that both of you work long enough hours that you never bump into each other. Hardly a well thought out plan.

I wrote a set of internal use systems using Lambda and API Gateway. I'm in two minds about it; its handy but at the moment I dont think its mature enough for a critical live system.

I'd like better ways to collect execution data for debugging and more visibility all round. With those it would definitely be a contender.

Is it really a good idea to name your open source module after a trademarked name ? Xeon is the brand name for Intel's line of server and workstation processors and they dont strike me as the kind of firm that would take co-opting of a brand name lightly.

This is a non-story. A number of firms make the same kind of product. The one thats linked isnt even the same brand as the one in the video.

If youre on a tight budget and IO is your main bottleneck it may be easier to purchase a number of decent spec desktop PC's with multiple SSD's in them. SSD's have really come down in price while performance and capacity have improved greatly. Same goes for RAM. (Assumption here is that time is less of a concern than cost at the moment and youre not averse to doing some devops work. Also assuming that the processing youre talking about is some sort of batch processing and not realtime) This way you can try a number of different strategies without blowing the bank on AWS instances (and worst case you have a spare workstation)

No support for EMV at the moment on this either. They actually recommend carrying the EMV cards as well which sort of negates the point of having this.

The really interesting bit for me is that theres a plugin module with a FPGA that can be programmed by the end user.

Which means simple apps wont even have their traffic leave the switch. I can think of a ton of uses for that, especially from a security perspective.

TV shows may have the same intro sequence, but the overlaid credits are always a bit different.

Hence any compression applied will always produce different results between episodes of a show. This would make any de-duplication extremely difficult.

As with Uber & AirBnb this seems to be trend of moving the people providing the actual service from employees to independent contractors. Its a situation where both the consumer and the contractors are less protected and taken care of.

I find this a step backwards; but it remains to be seen if this is just a harbinger of change or just a passing fad.

If Amazons international experience is anything to go by this will pose a serious threat to local retailers.

Here in the UK Amazon offers prime with unlimited next day, which has led to sharp cuts at high street retailers. Its not quite same day but its simplicity and low friction means its mostly simpler to just order through Amazon than to walk down to the local store.

According to Geekbench the current CPU in the iPad Air (the A7) scores about the same as a Core 2 Duo from 2006 (the E6600). Nothing to sneeze at and definitely getting close to the low power Haswell CPU's in systems like the Macbook Air. But I reckon it'll be a few generations of A series CPU's before they reach the point where they can challenge Intel for the crown
