I saw the intertubes
The Millwheel and Flume teams took a tour of Google’s datacenter in The Dalles yesterday. I can’t say much about what I saw, but there’s rather a lot that I would say if I could. It was an eyeball-widening sort of place.
I still don’t like the fact that the computer industry has decided on massive centralized datacenters as the way we’re going to do things. It’s great that Google is committed to not being evil, but no organization maintains its original values forever, and we’d all be better off in the long run if we built evil-tolerant distributed systems.
