Thanks for bringing this up! It was a good reminder for me to donate. May he rest in peace.
A few quick thoughts---I stayed around for 3-4 mins so please read this from the perspective of a (techy) user didn't explore much: The good: The UI is simple and clean. Definitely feels like something that you can…
WHO's responsibility is not to a single person. Their policies are designed for the society as a whole. Minimizing the possibility of infection for critical jobs is much more valuable than minimizing the infection…
This. And one of the main reasons that the paper from Google are routinely of high caliber is due to the internal review processes and your peers. Publishing a piece of work for the sake of publishing by ignoring the…
The statement that "Academic debate is, in fact, done through conferences and journals" is not strictly true. Specially given that a lot of reviews in more popular conference are very hit and miss. You can submit the…
Can you expand on the the privacy implications? How is this different than picking up the phone and having your convo go through ATT/Verizon networks? or using your ISP? Both parties can "legally" work with authorities…
I am genuinely curious to see what types of "compute-intensive" applications fit the bill here. Outside of storage workloads (syncing data, etc.), why would you need a 100x improvement in data transfer rates between the…
> I could ask them to go look up papers in Oakland, CCS and NDSS over the last couple of years and see if anything catches their fancy. Isn't this exactly the major thing that is wrong with research today? Limiting…
You are assuming that everybody in this system is honest: researchers, funders, and companies. None of these entities need to be honest to do research or to come up with topics. This is a big fallacy with academic…
Unpopular opinion, but they aren't that far off with regards to academia. Academia has little scientific agenda at its core—most things boil down to money. If you want to make a case for your idea on any topic, put…
Thanks for the answers: 1) Are you using or relying on DMA or SPDK to copy packet data? A single core, to my understanding, (assuming 10 concurrent cache lines in flight and 70~90ns of memory access time) doesn't have…
I completely agree with your observation. It's not that the Ph.D. prepares you for it, but that most people that pursue Ph.D. have that attribute. I don't think all Ph.D. students or any ordinary engineer can take a…
Just to restate what I said---you cannot use this in its current state in production (or industry), ever. And by the time it becomes useful, it becomes a natural solution because the infrastructure supports it. Every…
That is hardly the state of the art: they are basically sacrificing all abstractions that are rightly so required in the name of speed. This is no different than using vanilla DPDK with no congestion and flow control…
> Instead, we see a thriving software industry that largely ignores research, and a research community that writes papers rather than software. I have actively followed the NSDI and SIGCOMM community, and this is, for…
