I think it's mostly misapplied. The best example of Dunning-Kruger is an intelligent, competent, Ph.D. in physics thinking 9/11 was faked because "jet fuel can't melt steel", not realizing that steel loses significa

The big concern I have here is that the address resolution seems similar to DNS... Which is very bad, IMHO. Are they taking necessary steps to mitigate ddos and Man in the middle attacks? If they're not, they're seeing themselves

This seems like it has potential for being the core of an interesting interview question. Maybe something along the lines of "You are hired as the Chief Shunter (lol) of a new rail company and the CEO, to cut costs, has stated that onl

Personally, I don't need to be shown how simple a graph database can be. I need to know how it will interact with real world data.

It feels like they reinvented the wheel on a lot of things (especially on the monitoring side). I also wish there was some more detail about the caching/endpoint side of things. We rely heavily on Akamai's services for their edge

They don't have to ban other app stores. All they have to do is require that apps that run on your device be signed by Apple's certificates... which requires the App Store ecosystem. If you jailbreak device to be able to run unsig

After seeing that Autodesk is finally iterating on some of their software to support the rapid protoyping/3D printing community in major ways, I'd like to see what kinds of tools Autodesk could come up with. I see Holo Studio as t
