  1. Chris Kemp? on Does OpenStack Need a Linus Torvalds? · · Score: 1

    So I am assuming they mean since Chris Kemp left to start Nebula? (which is based on OpenStack)? I mean he was the CTO @ NASA and a pretty well spoken guy - I guess I am just not getting this?

    a DRAM system holds the world record for sustained storage speed 11 million iops in a 4u chassis - I think you are due back at best buy now thanks for playing

    You must not work in storage at any high end capacity - check out kove systems -

  11. SSD on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    the problem with SSD for high performance storage is you have to over allocate almost to a factor of 10 to get the advertised speeds ....moving from 10% occupancy to 94% occupancy can degrade performance by more than 90%. To avoid dramatic performance loss, manufacturers often “over-capacity” devices in order to ensure sufficient pre-erase “buffering” for performance. Regardless, running storage capacity at 10% will yield one performance level, 35% a lesser performance level, 75% still a lower level, and 95% capacity nearly grinds performance to a halt. DRAM is the way to go maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

    yeah I say bullshit to that too - we talk everything out and yes people do have different relationships - this is like the mailroom guy wondering why you drive a new volvo because he assumes since we "work at the same company" we must have the same salary

    You are 100% correct - the guy that did that study (autism linked to vaccinations) has been totally discredited - I guess some people didn't get the memo - but yea its really disturbing that some idiot parent that doesn't vaccinate their child put's my child at risk - its totally not cool
