There’s a joke that goes something like this: How do you make a little money in the online news business?
The punchline: Start with a huge pile of money, and work your way down from there.
It seems the same joke would work for the online comedy business, judging by the layoff news coming out of Funny or Die in January. Recently, Splitsider.com published an interesting Q&A with comedy veteran Matt Klinman, and he talked about the woes of online comedy outlets.
Klinman focused his ire on Facebook and its role as an information gatekeeper, in which the site determines what comedy clips to show each of its users. But much of his criticism could have just as easily been targeted at a handful of other online gatekeepers that point Internet users to a huge percentage of the original content that’s out there.
As Klinman says about Facebook, these services have created their own “centrally designed Internet” in which they serve as “our editor and our boss. They hide behind algorithms that they change constantly.”
As a thrice-laid-off online journalist, I can sympathize. I’m pretty sure I can’t blame any of the current gatekeepers for my 2002 layoff Continue reading
On this short take over at the Network Collective, I talk about the importance of breaking things.
Virtualizing the RAN is a lofty goal.
The current Cisco-Viptela SD-WAN platform is much preferred to the previous Cisco IWAN service.
Facebook makes$27 per quarter from US consumers - it cannot possibly change.
It all started with C3PO and separating the control and user plane.

During my Python studies, I came across something that didn’t make much sense to me so I had to learn and investigate (with the help of experts). What you can usually do in Python is to modify a variable and assign the result to the same variable. Because a piece of code is usually worth much more than an explanation: [crayon-5a96e02e428e1312116645/] When you want to sort a list, that behavior is a bit different: let’s pretend I have a list of ARP entries into my switch: [crayon-5a96e02e428ee971099170/] If I want to sort it and reassign the value of it to the previously used variable I would use this code (Let’s pretend arp_entries is my variable that contains all these entries): [crayon-5a96e02e428f6056918892/] [Read More...]

In the Network Automation 101 webinar and Building Network Automation Solutions online course I described one of the biggest challenges the networking engineers are facing today: moving from thinking about boxes and configuring individual devices to thinking about infrastructure and services, and changing data models which result in changed device configurations.
The $1B question is obviously: and how do we get from here to there?
