Anyone really using OpenStack on Ubuntu?

These students are funded anyway and decided to add a publication on an area they love.

They included their funding bodies because it is required by their funding agreement.

Lots of unsubstantiated anecdotes.

Ubuntu 16.04 and newer have a feature to auto detect if there is no hardware acceleration and can work with that. If you want fast fast, you can force to work without the nice effects.

Bad idea to include the developer preview?

You can safely try it out and see whether it works for your hardware.

Sticking to the 16.04 LTS is the expected choice for the vast majority of users.

The changes are:

1. It is now SiP, not SoC, because the GR8 chip incorporates 512MB RAM! System-in-Package.

2. They made changes here and there so all of the GR8 is open compared to the previous SoC. Most notably I expect the video decoding/encoding in hardware should be unable now.

3. Much smaller form factor.

4. Now has very fast NAND memory, so flash once and forget.

5. Overall they got input from developers and implemented what is needed.

6. Most important, same day Linux kernel support for the GR8 in Linus's tree. The commit was accepted a few days ago.

Smaller countries are on the receiving end of advanced hacking for a long time.

This one is about some old private server...

What is the biological definition of intelligence?

Is education so optimised that "inherited intelligence" has any actual significance?
