At best, Optane in DIMM format is just another level cache. But the latency is still way too high to effectively make Optane the new "core memory" where storage and RAM is one-in-the-same for server usage. Best case scenario, Optane is used that way for mobile devices.
Optane is interesting stuff in that it provide superior IOPS to that of typical NAND flash. But that said, I still wouldn't use it to replace RAM, and it's too expensive to replace typical NAND.
I've worked with SANS that had 256GB read/write SSD cache in them, they work really well for hosting VMs, exceedinyl fast. To get more IOPS, Optane would be preferred. And the cost difference would still be worth it for enterprise use.
About the only corner-case I can see its value is in caching larger multi-TB HDDs. Though I'm sure others have other creative uses for the tech
Not even close. The "richest person" in 1818... was still fucking rich, even by modern standards. Hell, it was probably a king somewhere.
What good is being king when you don't have access to advances in medicine and medical procedures.
What good is being king where he had very little access to the wealth of information we have now on the internet; at best he had a small to medium library where books hard to come by. At lets not forget the massive help that multi-media such as Youtube provides in how-to documentaries.
What good is being king where access to perishable foods was limited to his own locality. Even the poor can walk into a modern grocery store and access the major world cultures
What good is being king where PC gaming, TV, the movies, were never around. At beast, he had a jester and puppet shows.
What good is being king where traveling took long distances by horse or boat. Today, the poor can save enough money for a bus, plane...even an Uber
I could go on and on. So while the King had absolute power and political clout, the existence of his life wasn't near a fulfilling as today's poor.
Corporate person-hood is a double-edge sword. On one hand, it takes away personal accountability for the actions of an individual. On the other, that exact same thing is what reduces risk so that progress can go forward and enrich all of humanity with bountiful product. That is to say, it's one thing to be rich with financial wealth, one can be poor yet still "rich" with the abundance of cheap food, goods, and services. So by that measure, the "poor" today in 1st world nations are still richer than the richest person 200 years ago.
WTF is that crap? Dude, 99% of my communications are through e-mail. It's for record keeping of correspondence and ease of searching for sorted content later. It's also provides a chain of contact.
Has the world gone that too fucking ADHD to only chat in IM? I'm sorry, but as a Managed Service Provider (B2B based industry), Anything that requires over a paragraph in communication with the occasional file attachments will **ALWAYS** be e-mail.
E-mail will be around for the next 100+ years. The protocols i'm sure will change as will the underlying technology. But delivered messages that involves an address, subject, body, and signature will be the primary philosophical form of communications within a business. IM is great for short Q and A, but it will never replace the need for multi-paragraph construction.
You can host your own mail with a Synology NAS unit. Many of the two bay small ones can do it. But as others have pointed out, port 25 (SMTP) is blocked by all major ISP for residential accounts. They do that to stop e-mail worms. That, and they can up-sell on the business accounts (which you need a static IP anyways with a PTR record).
Just the delta cost alone for a business class account can easily exceed the cost of a few mailboxes hosted via Office 365 Business Essentials account. So...kinda defeats the whole purpose of going at it alone with your own local kit.
they'll sell it to you, it's often only about $30-$70/mo more
Or you could for $6 a month ($5 per month on annual contract) you could just get an Office 365 Business Essentials account which is MS Exchange in the cloud with 50GB mailbox and 1TB of OneDrive storage! Way cheaper. Just point your domain's DNS MX records to it; they provide all you need or their wizard can inject the records for you at a major domain registrar (assuming their hosting your DNS too). It's not hard to do at all.
For $12.50 per month, you get all of that plus the entire local Office suite application that can be installed on up to five personal computers you own. Because it's SAAS (Software As A Service), you get whatever version becomes available upon launch. Be it Office 2019, 2020, 20xx whatever.
Mongo is shit. UniFi uses the DB for its UniFi Controller application. I've seen more corruption with it than I care to keep track of; and all of it is the result of bad MongoDBs not mounting. There's ways of fixing it, but it's far easier to just shit-can the DB and start fresh with a backup of my config.

Make no mistake about it - China will eventually DEMAND that Google hand over all source and access to their intellectual properly. How/Why you ask?? Because they're a nation-state backed by a nuclear armed force. They can do damn well as they please, and there's nothing to stop them short of conflict should they press the issue.
"Sure, Iran hates the USA. But, they hate the Sauds even more!" "Damn shame if we don't provide weapons, and the ones China and Russia can provide are surely to be bugged in Iran's favor in a period of conflict"
At some point, there will be a consortium that creates an approved subscribed "white list" of sorts for Enterprise involving both sites and services. We already have content filtering and categories classifications at the firewall level, but it's not enough to just micro-manage a constantly moving target.
Harsh reality time - The "goal" is is to reduce the human population (by design) to well under 500 million. All done with the support of the indoctrinated electorate.
Yes, the elite still need a permanent underclass to support their way of life.
You really didn't think it was about YOU did you? Perhaps you shouldn't have taken the Red Pill after all. Sorry if it caused discomfort.
All schemes involving cap and trade / carbon tax, etc is nothing more than a wealth redistribution scheme for the globalists to maintain a neo-feudalism form of global dominance, control, and oppression.
If you really wanted to tackle CO2, then dump every bit of R&D into Fusion Energy. NEVER will happen though as it negates the the real purpose as I've just stated above.
You Europeans can FUCK RIGHT OFF! Seriously! "It's one of the slowest....*SLAP*" Pretty fucking hard to unify the same standards of speed and connectivity when you have an entire nation of 50 states that spans rural to urban development on a rather large portion of the planet!
Sure, but we're talking about oxygen levels at over 20% concentration levels. That's a lot of O2! Accumulation stayed at 3% between 2.5 billion and 700 million years ago. After that, it started rapidly accumulating before 600 million years ago reaching a peak concentration of 35% 300 million year ago before dropping back down to present levels..
Basically, O2 would immediately sequester and bind up with iron in the soil and other elements. Only until saturation was reached, did the concentration levels rapidly rise. Those levels must be maintained, that's the key. Should life die out on Earth, eventually the O2 levels would drop rapidly. So again, *something* has to be cracking O2 free and maintain that activity for a very long time to reach such concentration levels.
I'm not suggesting that life can only be identified through the presence of O2, but I am suggesting that should be the #1 focus when looking for life harboring exoplanets. The problem is getting enough of the scattered light from the atmospheres to measure the concentration; assuming we even have such sensitive instrumentation to make it feasible.
Oxygen. To have an atmosphere consisting of large quantities of O2 means *something* is continuously cracking it free from molecular bondage. It can occur natural without life. But to do so in large quantities, and continuously so as to not be locked up with other elements can only mean one thing. LIFE!

Socially, we have an inherent predilection to speak kindly of the recently deceased.
You know, some people were such awful human beings that they deserve to have their ashes used to make a public urinal. Just sayin.
