    Today's task is to run updates on a netbook that hasn't been updated in two years.

    I won't link it but does anyone else just get a stupid smile on their face when they watch the video for "Wonderful world?" Louis Armstrong just has such the biggest happiest (kinda crazy) face going on for that song. It's infectious!

    Also, on that Google fiber thing: it's about fucking time. They've been talking about it for fucking years. I remember Seattle putting in a bid for it right after McGinn was elected (so, like, two or three years, now). I wants it soooooooo bad. It's even cheaper than Comcast, and I'll bet it's faster, too.

    I wanna say it's gigabit so yes much faster

    For some reason the only method of moving between the floors I found in the Zara on 5th ave was the elevator

    This could not have been, for safety reasons, the only method period (although I don't recall seeing stairs...), but it was the most obvious one and the one the attendant steered me to

    Sheep, I can see some usages that will drive up bandwidth usage. One of the projects I did the design work for has about a 5.2 gigabit/s potential usage as a ceiling. Assuming all of the cameras go off at once. All of the feeds are centralized to one datacenter. There is infrastructure to handle it since it's on a private fiber ring. But applying it to someone trying for a cloud solution, with four cameras a house they would hit that at 750 homes.


    Definitely. Having the infrastructure in place is a good idea and fine and dandy and for power users a gigabit is probably ace, especially if they're heavily using Google products and Google's cloud storage. But given the nature of upstreams and their pricing models I don't see other ISPs doing this, even those that would benefit in some manner like ATT and Verizon aren't particularly selling these speeds to your typical home user largely because they are overall unnecessary.

    I could be reading waaaay to much into who Google is targeting with these speeds. Most likely the only folks that know about it and would be interested are geeks like you and I. But even I wouldn't buy this today if it were available in my neighborhood.

    Okay, that's not honest. I probably would just to get away from ATT but that's for personal reasons.

    Anyway, long post short. Good to have the ability to do it, I just think that it's unnecessary for 99% of users for the next decade or so. But then I guess those are the people who get the free 5mbit customers.

    We'll see. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out and what kind of competition it breeds.

    also may i add that shopping in those places is humiliating

    i went to h&m first and i was like

    huh

    biggest shirts i see are XL, and those are rare

    biggest pants i see are 38s

    this is not a store made for right-now chu

    but even knowing zara and urban outfitters would be the same, i went to those also

    i deserved going to those... it was my way of scourging myself for my sins

    i had that humiliation coming to me for my gluttony, so i went from slim/hip store to slim/hip store, feasting my eyes on my failure

    A better idea for end users is the solution I'm engineering. We're planning on running a fiber ring to Atlanta, GA and peering directly with Google, Netflix, and maybe both Comcast and ATT. The latter two for VOIP stability and the other two to offload bandwidth from our upstreams and instead have a direct connection and simply not pay an upstream anymore. Saves us a ton of money, gives the illusion of "faster speed" to our customers, etc.

    Currently we only cache about 700gigs of YouTube/Netflix content so this would be a big big area of savings for us.

    Also thinking of caching Pandora.

    You're thinking in purely technical terms. Lets look at this from a marking perspective.

    Google Fiber can offer you speeds up to 30 times faster then cable internet. You find me a family where little Sally is an insane bit torrent user and that might sound appealing as all hell. Even though it doesn't solve what are their likely slowness issues.

    And as DK said, as bandwidth increases, the usage of it tends to scale accordingly.

    Yeah. For fast food, it's a pretty good sandwich (and their cookies and cream milkshake is awesome), but it's not mind-blowing or anything.
