To reach those goals, Shell in 2010 began using AWS. When Tom Tom launched the LBS platform they wanted the ability to reach millions of developers all around the world without having them invest a lot of capital upfront in hardware and building expensive data centers so turned to the cloud.

The thing about any crisis is that there's an expectation that there will eventually be a recovery, no matter long it takes to reach bottom and regardless the shape the recovery takes: V-shaped rebound as happened in in 1953, W-shaped as in 1981-82, U-shaped as in 1973-75 and again in 2000-03, or L-shaped as in 2008-2010.

The success of both tablets and smartphones (and to a lesser extent the fringe battlegrounds of e-readers and other specialized devices), as well as the rapid maturation of cloud-based services, has created a tech hardware war, an OS war, a bidding war for tech firms, and spawned a feeding frenzy in application development.

In both cases, the OS will task the browser team to heavily prioritise integrations with the latest OS and hardware features at the expense of more broadly useful capabilities — e.g. shipping "notch" CSS and "force touch" events while neglecting Push. Examples include IE 7+ and Safari from 2010-onward.

Doubly so as hardware improved, eating away at the lower end of Hadoop-worthy work. ” There’s as much Keras, TensorFlow, and Torch today as there was Hadoop back in 2010-2012. Google goes a step further in offering compute instances with its specialized TPU hardware. Those algorithms packaged with scikit-learn?

Vivino was founded in 2010 and now has more than 20 million users worldwide and offices in four countries across three continents. If the solution works as envisioned, Telenor Connexion can easily deploy it to production and scale as needed without an investment in hardware. Our AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region is open for business now.

I said something similar to the above, but with two important differences: I said hardware “threads,” not only hardware “cores” – it was about the amount of hardware parallelism available on a mainstream system.

Hardware gets better, sure. Let’s say just 2 billion people (somewhere around 4 billion are connected to the internet) view 5 pages at that weight in a day (surveys from 2010 showed the number to be around 10 sites on any given day, so I’m being overly safe here). It makes sense.

After the release of the iPad in 2010 Craig Hockenberry discussed the great value of communal computing but also the concerns : “When you pass it around, you’re giving everyone who touches it the opportunity to mess with your private life, whether intentionally or not. This expectation isn’t a new one either. Lots of problems, now what?

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Since 2010, volumes have been on a slow downward glide path , shrinking from ~350MM per year in a decade ago to ~260MM in 2018.

Around 2010, when US companies could count on a recovering domestic economy, a weak US dollar, and growing emerging market economies, CFOs didn't need to work that hard to flatter the income statement.
