My point was merely that there is a concretely definable point at which, barring latency issues, you no longer need to send data to the end user, and can instead remote the output losslessly, and do the processing wherever the data lives. This is at most one order of magnitude past 100gb/s.
240hz * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hi-Vision 7,680 * 4,320 * 64 bit (not 24, you don't want to have to lose accuracy in blend) = 509 megabit. I was actually off by a factor of 4 because I thought the 8k format was 4x2, not 8x4 before I double checked. So, sorry, it's actually worse than I thought!
Yeah, the assumption is definitely that the NSA uses custom hardware that does one thing only, and is at least 10^12 or so faster. Each device is probably 10^6 faster than a conventional cpu for this one task, and they presumably built out 10^9 or so devices (general purpose supercomputers are hard to parallelize to that degree, so are limited to around 10^4 devices).
240hz is needed for stereo 3d at 120hz. 120hz is the upper limit of detectability for about 98% of the population. 60hz is choppy for almost 30%.
My point was just to figure out roughly where you could guarantee that not even the videophiles would be unlikely to complain about the quality, and 120hz is generally well received by videophiles, and unfortunately you do have to multiply whatever rate you pick by 2 for stereo 3d implementations.
True, though many a small business has a SAN built on consumer grade devices. My point was exactly that the low end will be pushing up against this limit all too soon.
For end users, 100gb/s is almost 'enough'. It's just a hair short (about 2.5x) of the speed needed to stream uncompressed video at the highest resolution anyone is likely to seriously consider, at 240hz. Once you hit that point, you just remote your applications to wherever the data is, and forget about moving data ever again, assuming, of course, that the data is close enough to you to avoid any latency issues for interactivity.
I have long assumed that the NSA has an attack on AES that is at worst 128 bits of difficulty on a 256bit key, and that they have computer resources to crack 128 bits within an hour.
Not outside the capabilities of a classical computer, outside the capabilities of known decryption algorithms on conventional computers. The fact that the NSA is still serving a purpose in spite of 'completely secure' key sizes should suggest a fairly obvious conclusion.
Imagine you are simulating weather with an accuracy narrowed down to 1000 cubic meters. That's a cube 10 meters on a side, consider it roughly the size of a house. Not very accurate, right? Because there is a lot of detail going on within those 1000 cubic meters that your simulation is ignoring.
But: it's also a vast quantity of data to consider, even at that level of inaccuracy. Just to simulate the weather over the united states you'd have about 20,740,933,333 cells to compute. 20 Billion cells to compute. And who knows how many cycles to compute a days worth of weather per cell? A few billion is probably a low-ball estimate for that. So multiply a few billion by a few billion and pretty soon you're getting into serious numbers.
Almost 1/6th of people (half of your third) in their 50s never graduated high school. You probably don't want to be competing with them for quality of retirement. Only about 1 in 4 finished college. You pretty much don't get to 'retire' (as you are probably imagining it) if you don't graduate college, so you should only be competing with that group for savings. That group is (statistically) going to have at least 3x the average, and I'd be surprised if anyone can show the disparity to be less than 5x.

You left out the offensive part where it turns out the Rabbi was heavily invested in goat futures.

Sorry, I probably should have posted that with a warning.
Note: the guy survived that.
*Hug*
Yeah, others pointed that out ... as I responded there, you probably want to use some small multiple to allow for multiple streams.
What law makes that the case?
I think you actually have to suck the horns, no the balls.

Compression is horrible for a lot of content, so videophiles will insist on uncompressed for some applications.

I'm not sure who you're replying to ... I didn't say anything about pricing. And even consumer level SSDs are already at 250MB/s, not 50.
I'm pretty sure that arrested development was killed by a yacht explosion.

Stereo is covered by the 240hz. But the multiple users .. yeah, for a family of 4, I suppose you might want to multiply by ... 4.

SSDs are going to hit 6 gbit/sec in the next year or so. Multiply by 17 devices on a SAN and you're done.

Do you suppose you could get better candidates if you multiplied the salary you're offering by 10?
If so, you're abusing the h1-b process to bring in cheaper labor.

Define 'good'. It will grow plants. It will smell very, very bad.
Which Mortal Kombat movie? The first one was awesome. They had a pretty skilled fight choreographer who clearly had some actual MA experience.
