IMO the text is just a "research report" (a cynic could call it Emerson's marketing piece) -- not a half-backed paper lacking authors, abstract, conclusions, references. :) Said that I respectfully disagree that the research doesn't introduce anything new. Actually the study argues/sustain...

Ponemon Institute and Emerson Network Power are pleased to present the results of an original benchmark study to determine average costs to support 1 kW of compute capacity in today’s data centers. The results of this study are based on data from 41 data centers, representing 31 companies...

The story behind ScaleWay "We underestimated the lack of upstream kernel support with our new hardware. The SoC we were using, was usually employed in NAS servers and mobile phones, which only need stability and performance, so they don’t care about having a closed-source patched kernel, but...

One could say the same about free services. I guess AWS a network full of nothing but absolute crap. :) IMO it is not a question of price but (simple) controls. E.g.serious spammers need lots of IPs and there is no interest in cheap VMs if they can't create dozens of instances.

Tech hiring is down 40% and nobody’s talking about it — Medium

(Irony, I know) Would be a solution that won't work to a problem that doesn't exist. MaxMind makes available data not information and, of course, you can't control how applications use data or how people interpret data. Popular applications of MaxMind data (*): 1) Poor man's CDNs  -...
