To much development on adding features, to little focus on stability.
We'd have more stability if they focused on that instead, but it would take ages to add all the btrfs/zfs-like features which are not in other file systems like RAID. Because things would need to be changed and then stabilized, maybe it would even need a new disk-format.
It might be better to have less stability for a while until most features are part of the code base and then working stabilizing.
AWS compute at least needs to run customer VMs, don't you think these people would like to be able to run their existing x86, euh amd64 applications ?
Google or maybe even Facebook would be a much better example, they have their own applications with source code which they can compile for the platform of their choice.
People currently seem more interrested in ARM processors than mainframes.
If only 2 in 14 implementers of a security, euh... authentication protocol can get the implementation somewhat right without making huge mistakes then maybe the protocol was more complicated then needed.
When you sign up to websites you usually use have to supply an email address.
If only for password recovery.
They can already use that to cross-reference ids from users over multiple sites.
That is why Mozilla Persona uses email addresses, it's clearly an identity (unlike for example OpenID where are website/webpage is your identity). And you already needed an email address anyway.
Lots of people already have multiple identities: email address for work and one for home.
And you can create new identities for free, there are lots of free email providers.
I lost a lot of fait in hydrogen when I had seen the car which runs on compressed air. The pressures used to compress the air for that car is less than the pressures needed to compress hydrogen is usually compressed.
As I understand it hydrogen needs to be compressed because it is very voluminous and the containers would be to large to be useful otherwise.
I believe hydrogen is also compressed more than with cars running on natural gas.

As machines and computers do more and more of the work, will such a thing as work, as we know it, still exist in 300 years ?

What is wrong with swap-partitions ?
ext4 is usually has better performance, in recent versions of the Linux kernel I believe the ext4-code is used for ext3 and ext2 as well.
Chris Mason and a fellow btrfs-developer both work at Fusion-io since somewhere around June last year.
I obviously meant what you call a thin client.
You know what is interresting, have you seen the new X1 from Comcast ? It really is very close to a dump terminal:

It send keystrokes one way and receives screens back.
While I agree with you on many points.
It is possible serverrooms are going to look very different in the coming years:

Yes, this definitely seems regional, I'm in a country in Europe and I've never seen a lot of advertising on google maps.
If there is less demand for gold then is available the price will drop as well.
You think that is a sort of a pyramid scheme as well ?
that suggestion will probably not rise my karma
It did with me. :-)

It's not the users you should be worried about, it's the developers:

Persona == email address.
So create multiple email addresses, they are free.
And Ubuntu has Ubuntu Cloud Image
Is it really that complicated ?
That sounds great, do you also own a DeLorean ?
You most be one of those reverse engineers
gmail ? ;-)
They keep your data in RAM where you read/write most of the time. They are only writing to flash/ssd on shutdown and reading it back in on startup.
Google in production using something else I'm sure.
I'm pretty sure Google is using containers (or at least something like cgroups) for most of their workloads to do what they do:

Like the Chaos Computer Club.
Yes, but have you ever seen a hydrogen powered car or other device that actually uses that extra energy from expansion.
