Object Storage and layered on top of that RBD are much easier to get right.

CephFS simply didn't gain as much traction because it made sense to just store objects in many cases, and let something else worry about what is stored and where. A massive distributed file system is not nearly as necessary as people make it out to be for a lot of different workloads.

RBD works so well because it can replace iSCSI/FC storage and provide failover and redundancy, and as you scale servers it gets faster. We had 20 Gbit/sec bandwidth for our storage network (to each hypervisor), with 20 Gbit/sec for the front-end Ceph access network, and Ceph RBD easily saturated it on the hypervisor side. Spinning up VM's in OpenStack was a pleasure and soooooo quick (RBD backed images too).

We looked at increasing the hypervisor to 40 Gbit/sec, but decided against it for cost reasons, and in reality we had very little workloads that actually needed that much storage IO.
At the time even wired networks couldn't easily carry video, let alone wireless. Video was thought to require enormous bandwidth, and this wasn't far wrong; it's a significant percentage of Internet traffic even today.

So it wasn't implausible that video calls would come first to wired networks and be limited to them for quite a while. The early "Internet Superhighway" hype was all about getting broadband in people's homes for delivering video.
> That's not true at all though. Smart Contracts are being used in a wide variety of great projects.

The Future of OmniOS
Probably the same as many other professions, why would working for Uber make you more likely to become a criminal over any other lower-end paying job? "What percentage of grocery checkers pursue crime as a means of extra income?" I fail to see how it's even a useful question, and implies there's a criminal element there.

Across pay levels and careers that information might be interesting, but specific to one position at a single company seems entirely too specific.

What do you think of the example I said elsewhere where a union of mostly older workers votes for pay by seniority, and I'm a younger worker?

The union has an incentive to get me to join, as it helps them get their pay by seniority, but it doesn't help me so they would want to hide that from me. I would be cautious of what they tell me, just like I would be cautious of what Uber tells me.

A vote does nothing to help me if I'm down-voted. I'd be better off outside the union so it doesn't have more power to force pay by seniority, but they don't want me to know that. Hence the risk of propaganda.

There's actually no corruption there, just their interests not being mine.

If you are getting a vote on the board of a company you are management, not labor so yes you're right unions are not great for you. They make your life harder because now instead of having complete and total control over your workers, they have negotiating power. Management cannot be part of a union. They don't need unions; they already have all the power. Unions were created out of a moral necessity to push back against them because unchecked the way management behaves (in the general/worst case, consider e.g. The Jungle) is horrifying. You need to be clear what kind of person the hypothetical 'you' we are discussing is.

The critical point here is that of course, in democracies decisions are not made that always align with your views. This does not mean democracy is bad considering the other options available, it just means that democracy is imperfect. If something is being considered as an option, I would prefer to have a vote over not having one.

When you are not in the union you have no vote. When you are in the union you have one. If you don't want one and are content to provide complete and blind obedience towards every directive given by management, are comfortable with a possible firing without cause or dangerous working conditions with no compensation or reduction in salary/benefits or forced unpaid overtime, and want to abandon your fellow workers who need the cooperation of the full workforce in order to do collective bargaining which almost always happens partially on your behalf whether you want it or not (enjoy salary bumps? benefits? weekends? vacation days? not being fired for being sick? these are things that exist only because of unions)... well that's certainly your choice as well. Just as in a democracy you can choose not to vote, you just don't get to complain about the outcome which you've chosen to have no say in.

"our society is set up for certain kind of people to succeed - but don't be mad when it doesn't work out great for you."

Why do you say it's better to pull them from Vault? Unless MTLS is set up talking to Vault, you are pulling secrets unencrypted (and maybe unauthenticated) over the network... a local file system is not bad for small scale deployments if setup with the proper permissions.
I generally agree with your assessment, but for what it's worth more recently Amazon has shipped its Elastic Filesystem (which exposes NFSv4) and Microsoft offers Azure File Storage (SMB 3.0). AIUI neither is truly POSIX compliant but both are probably good enough for realizing most of the dream?

So far I heard a lot about GlusterFS and Ceph being great but so far I only seen MooseFS in production.

MooseFS seems to do its job well, the only problem is that by default it lacks HA. The master server is very important since it keeps track of where all data is located, so if it is gone your data is gone. You can set up one or more metalogger nodes, which sole purpose is to backup the metadata information. You can also manually promote metalogger to master.

They have commercial offering that includes HA, but I never used so hard to comment about it.

You could also set up HA yourself using corosync and peacemaker, but it's a bit challenging task.

Actually, the reason why rbd and rgw was prioritised was because of them being in popular demand. There were also a lot of cash and movement behind them too. I'm not saying it is an easy problem, just that their focus has been on other stuff along the way.

So I think it's a question of the correct development focus in the correct order.

The goal is to have a single CephFS across the globe, with the current pace they will get there, eventually!
That used to be the common case (side deals with drivers) with Taxis on the Peninsula, but only because taxi dispatch was so horrible. - The value of Uber (at least for me) when you are in a Major metropolitan area is that it requires precisely zero advance preparation. Hit a button, walk out - and your Uber arrives precisely according to it's geo-tracking information.

While I'm sure there are people who strike side deals with drivers, I'd be surprised if that rose to anywhere near 5% of total volume.

Now - if you are having drivers calling you, or cancelling you (in 500+ Uber Rides, I've only had four cancellations after 60 seconds, and no driver has ever called to ask where I'm going) - it sounds like you live in a really crappy Uber dispatch area, so perhaps reverting back to side deals makes sense...

Because researchers have been looking for those factors for a long time but haven't found anything significant. Yes, if you give people a pull-up test men will do better on average but there's a shortage of strong examples of more complex skills where there's a significant innate difference. This is especially true for professional skills where there are multiple paths to success relying on many different mental abilities, decreasing the odds that any single innate difference could be make or break.

Well, NK has been at times dependent on aid from China, so it doesn't seem too unreasonable to ask China to try to restrain NK's aggressiveness.

On the other hand, your point would apply pretty well to China's response to South Korea's defense systems. (It's not just that China's calling it espionage; the article mentions serious hacking attacks.)

We used BeeGFS since it was called FhGFS on a cluster of 32 nodes for a total capacity ranging from 256tb-1Pb. BeeGFS is very easy to configure and maintain, outperforming Lustre for every task we threw it at. In fact, we never transitioned lustre into production. Lustre was often slower than plain NFS for the cases where all storage could be mounted by a single node(!).

Unfortunately, it's prior licensing scheme prevented larger initial adoption. A good chunk of large scale setups I've seen have adopted Ceph, but I cannot comment on performance.
No one said any of those things. And if you don't understand why scale matters then you simply don't have experience with it. That's fine. I don't think there's anything useful here for either of us to gain by continuing this conversation though - you seem to have your mind made up and you're clearly angry for seemingly no reason.
>if Americans start to gather and think America should be split or states should succeed (won't happen today; there's less then 3% support even in places like Texas/Cascades--but in the future?)

I dunno, In any given state there's probably more than 3% for certain other states seceding. The candidate I hear throws around a lot is pretty represented here and I'm not so sure it would be a bad thing.
What about future workers who are currently not part of the union?
> If someone wanted to sue the Archive, they would probably argue that every time archive.org serves a file they are making a copy... which is true, after all, if anything reproduced digitally is a "copy" in that sense.

It's more than a theoretical point - that each "serving" of a file is a copy is well established legally. In fact, even loading a program to RAM was considered a copy, per MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, until Congress made an explicit exception.
Don't bother responding. As soon as you catch a whiff of "taxation is theft" in a thread on the Internet you can be pretty sure you're communicating with someone who's solved government, coordination problems generally, and ethics from first principles (or, rather, read those who have, or been convinced in discussion with those who have read those who have). The only way to open them up to the possibility that some other conclusions might be valid would be to show them where weakly-justified axioms and non sequitur reasoning occur way back at the beginning of their understanding, which they missed the first time, and considering their (likely) psychological investment in the edifice atop those sands you're gonna have a rough time of it. You can try "but things seem to work pretty OK not doing what you're talking about" with specific examples, but they'll insist they'd work better still their way, and besides, your way is evil because (remember?) they solved ethics, et c., et c. This is a horse that's beaten endlessly online, to no purpose.

You may as well go punch a stone wall for a while instead.

> 20% of people who sign up to drive Uber are approved to do so

That's bizarre since the only qualifications are that you have a car, have insurance, and don't have a terrible driving record. A bad driving record is OK, they'll rent you a car with insurance, and they'll even take the rental cost out of the paycheck. (Not saying it's a good deal, but the fact that they have an 80% rejection rate is crazy considering)
Yes, it is. Even loading a file to RAM was considered a copy (see MAI Systems Corp. v. Peak Computer, Inc) until Congress made an explicit exception.
This is why I just go with (ex: Burger King) because everyone can understand it. When you have enough ambiguity and misunderstanding of a language/grammar syntax, it's better to avoid it in a public forum.
In addition to all of these strange features listed in the article, they're also the only poikilothermic mammal. Most of the time their body temperature is not regulated and it changes with the environment. But unlike reptiles or fish, if the outside temperature goes too high or too low, naked mole rats can switch back to normal homeothermic behavior and self-regulate the body temperature as needed. This way they can survive extreme conditions, and still when conditions are right they can save a lot of energy and survive long periods of hunger without going into hibernation.
I think I understand your sentiment, but it doesn't apply here. Folks arguing technical correctness in the context of compilers and the C standards are not doing so in order to be pedantic over hypotheticals. Being "technically correct" is important in C because compiler authors reasonably take many liberties in order to improve both compile-time and run-time performance, not to mention reducing cost and complexity of developing the compiler itself. C makes certain guarantees, and compilers will take those for granted where it benefits them, rather than conservatively analyze for situations that are theoretically impossible. You can't say a compilers is dumb because the user gave it invalid code, and in no way is this hiding behind technicalities.

It's also not much of a stretch to say that invoking undefined behavior can do things like delete everything on your hard drive. In fact, I've seen it happen many times. Any memory corruption exploit fundamentally relies on the fact that the author invoked undefined behavior. Although it may be undefined, it's still deterministic, so an attacker can construct an input that abuses the failure modes of your particular implementation to run arbitrary code of their choosing, like spawning a shell process and binding it to a port, or fetching some malware.

C guarantees that none of this can happen, but when you don't follow the rules of C, they really do mean it when they say anything can happen. It's not because the compiler authors are being trolls and feel entitled to delete your files or launch a rocket out of spite. It's because your machine is now executing who-knows-what.

Why do you think so? The coin was flipped multiple (n) times, so the probability of total success is 0.5^n. For 10 coin flips, it is already less than 1/1000.

Alternatively, you can view it as a game that is repeated until one person is left. So the chance of success is 1/n where n is the number of people involved - independent of the random method chosen for selection (coin flip, rolling dices, or whatever).

First off, your link explicitly blames teacher's unions, not government involvement, for the lack of increase in education outcomes.

You think there are poor people out there thinking: "hey I can have a bunch of kids and they'll all get free educations, let's do it!" Why would they? So that the kid will grow up and get a great job and support them? That's not so much a get-rich-quick scheme as it is a get-rich-in-twenty-to-thirty-years scheme. Plus you'd still have to raise a bunch of kids, which isn't exactly a walk in the park.

And the evidence is on my side. Increased access to education is associated with lower fertility rates, not higher: http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/completingfert...
One thing they could do is tell you to stop. If they have told you to stop, and taken measures to block you out (blocking crawlers besides google) then persisting is illegal. I believe somebody got succesfully sued by facebook for continuing to scrape after facebook told them to stop. I'm not sure about the legality if you haven't been explicitly asked to stop, but as long as you are never blatant enough for them to notice, you shouldn't have any trouble.
ironic to see comments here criticizing Lustre, from people who don't seem to understand it at all.

Lustre is for large HPC clusters. It's not for your desktop; it's not for your video editing suite. It is the only way to provide a filesystem that scales to support, for instance, a compute job of 100k ranks, all writing checkpoints and snapshots periodically. No, Hadoop doesn't do it. Ceph is for performance-and-scaling-insensitive cloud installs.

Lustre is for when you expect to saturage 100 100Gb IB links to storage. it works remarkably well for its use case (though even on HPC clusters, MDS performance can be a problem).
They hang it near, not on top of the vent. And if the exhaust is outside the unit (balcony, etc), it would have basically no effect.
Not saying you should live your life in irrational fear but, even if they just think they can do something about it, that would be enough to mess up your life significantly while having no effect on them at all.
It sounds like they used all the probes available. Many of the countries simply have very few RIPE Atlas probes available; I don't think it's reasonable to only select 5 probes from the US, because that's how many are installed in Vietnam; if you did, you're unlikely to pick any of the probes that showed this behavior.

Instead, it's better to report the total and suspicious numbers, and take the percentages with a grain of salt on low total probes.
How was the number arrived at, do you know? I don't see anything about it in the CNBC article, and the article in The Information is paywalled.
right, so they took a vertical that no one else wanted and served it kind of badly. I don't know about the last few years, but Lustre used to be famous for eating up a huge amount of time in the field, even given that its only supposed to be relevant for really large files.

it definitely served a need that nothing else did, but from an armchair position we could collectively do better
