I hope you're familiar with Clarke's third law (and leave it to your imagination to explain how it relates to SDN ;). In case you want to look beyond the Machine Learning curtain, you might find the Machine Learning Explained article highly interesting. Spoiler: it all started in 1960s with over 2000 matchboxes.
Let’s face it. As far as we knew, given how poorly the server market was doing in the final quarter of 2018 and the first two quarters of 2019, we had no idea how well or poorly it might end up. …

In July of 2018 I talked about Polyglot, a very simple project I’d launched whose only purpose was simply to bolster my software development skills. Work on Polyglot has been sporadic at best, coming in fits and spurts, and thus far focused on building a model for the APIs that would be found in the project. Since I am not a software engineer by training (I have no formal training in software development), all of this is new to me, and I’ve found myself encountering lots of questions about API design along the way. In the interest of helping others who may be in a similar situation, I thought I’d share a bit here.
I initially approached the API in terms of how I would encode (serialize?) data on the wire using JSON (I’d decided on using a RESTful API with JSON over HTTP). Starting with how I anticipated storing the data in the back-end database, I created a representation of how a customer’s information would be encoded (serialized) in JSON:
{
"customers": [
{
"customerID": "5678",
"streetAddress": "123 Main Street",
"unitNumber": "Suite 123",
"city": "Anywhere",
"state": "CO",
"postalCode": "80108",
"telephone": "3035551212",
"primaryContactFirstName": "Scott",
"primaryContactLastName": "Lowe"

Wake up! It's HighScalability time:
Instead of turning every car into rolling sensor studded supercomputers, roads could be festooned with stationary edge command and control pods for offloading compute, sensing and managing traffic. Cars become mostly remote controlled pleasure palaces. Solves compute, latency, and interop.

I’m headed out to Cisco Live Europe today, so I’m trying to get everything packed before I head to the airport. I also realize I need to go buy a few things for my suitcase. Which must be the same thing that a bunch of companies thought this week as they went on a buying spree! Seriously:
I don’t think we’re quite done yet, either. An oblique tweet from a friend with some inside sources leads me to believe that the reason why this is happening right now is because some of the venture funds are getting antsy and are calling in their markers. Maybe they need the funds to cash out investors? Maybe they’re looking to reduce their exposure to other things? Maybe they’re ready to jump on a plane to an uncharted island somewhere?
This is one of the challenges when you’re beholden to investors. Sure, not all of us are independently wealthy and capable of bootstrapping our own startup. We need some kind of funding to make that happen. But Continue reading
