IoT smart home: crossing the chasm

Internet of things struggles as use of smart home gadgets flatlines
"Mr Lee said households were most likely to embrace smart home technology when the price comes down significantly, or when manufacturers begin to include it as a standard option, rather than an upgrade. "
THE US SMART HOME MARKET REPORT: Adoption forecasts, top products, and the cost and fragmentation problems that could hinder growth - Business Insider

Smart Home Adoption Curve
"There are many barriers preventing mass-market smart home adoption: high device prices, limited consumer demand and long device replacement cycles. However, the largest barrier is the technological fragmentation of the smart home ecosystem, in which consumers need multiple networking devices, apps and more to build and run their smart home."




Crossing the Chasm - Inbound Marketing
"Too offer businesses come to market with only core products. While this works in the early stage with innovators and early adopters, in order to cross the chasm, you must have a whole product. Pragmatists expect more. They expect the product to work and have all the included features to meet their needs."

Google gRPC vs JSON

gRPC 1.0 is Ready for Production @ InfoQ
"gRPC is a platform-neutral RPC system that uses the Protocol Buffers IDL to define end-point services and message payloads to be transferred, then generating stubs for multiple languages. gRPC supports 10 languages - C, C++, C#, Go, Java (including Java/Android), Node.js, Objective-C, PHP, Python, and Ruby – on Linux, Mac and Windows. There are native implementations in C, Go and Java, and wrappers around the C library for the other languages."
GitHub - grpc/grpc: The C based gRPC (C++, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, PHP, C#)
"Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) provide a useful abstraction for building distributed applications and services. The libraries in this repository provide a concrete implementation of the gRPC protocol, layered over HTTP/2. These libraries enable communication between clients and servers using any combination of the supported languages."
"Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) are Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. You can find protobuf's documentation on the Google Developers site."

grpc /
gRPC Basics - C#


"what is behind this improvement. There are two major factors at work here: more efficient data encoding and HTTP/2. gRPC keeps data in binary both in client memory and on the wire by building on HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers. This eliminates processing and space required for string encoding schemes such as Base64 or JSON. In addition, HTTP/2 itself makes things go faster with multiplexed requests over a single connection and header compression."

Predicting Size of Computing Cloud Providers

Recently Microsoft acquired an AI startup (making virtual scheduling assistant)
Here is a new acronym for that: AIaaS "AI as a Service"
Microsoft to Acquire Genee, Adding AI Magic to Azure

Analysts claim that could help growth of Azure cloud, supported by
info about size and growth of computing cloud providers.
Numbers like this should be taken with a grain of salt

Amazon Leads; Microsoft, IBM & Google Chase; Others Trail | Synergy Research Group
CIS Q216

“In a variety of ways Amazon and the other big three players have distanced themselves from the competition in this market and continue to widen the gap,”


So Amazon is now on 32% of IaaS market growing 53% a year
and Microsoft is on 12% growing 100% a year,
and Google is on 5% now growing 162% a year.

Since Google and Microsoft are growing faster, at some point they may catch up with Amazon.
We could use regression to predict when that could be.
Question is, is the rate of growth linear, polynomial, exponential? Need more data.

If we assume it is a linear growth, formulas are:
Amazon: A(t) = 0.32 + 0.32 *  0.53 * t = 0.32 + 0.17 * t
Microsoft: M(t) = 0.12 + 0.12 * 1.00 * t = 0.12 + 0.12 * t; would never catch up.
Google: G(t) = 0.05 + 0.05 * 1.62 * t = 0.05 +  0.08 * t; would never catch up

If it is exponential growth, formulas would be:
Amazon: A(t) = 0.32 * ((1 + 0.53) ^ t)
Microsoft: M(t) = 0.12 * ((1 + 1.00) ^ t)
Google: G(t) = 0.05 * ((1 + 1.62) ^ t)

Solve on t for A(t) = M(t)
0.32 * ((1 + 0.53) ^ t) = 0.12 * ((1 + 1.00) ^ t) - Wolfram|Alpha
Microsoft would catch up in 3.7 years.
Observe nice charts and calculation on wolframalpha. "Math as as Service"

0.32 * ((1 + 0.53) ^ t) = 0.05 * ((1 + 1.62) ^ t) - Wolfram|Alpha
Google would catch up in 3.4 years.

Not realistic, but makes an interesting experiment with data.

This could be solved by using Logarithmic Differentiation

Would be a good case for The Jupyter Notebook — IPython (Project Jupyter | Home)


It is worth mentioning that better option for many users is PaaS cloud,
where Azure & Google are leaders and AWS is much less.
(Docker) Containers will likely end up being optimal way of deploying apps.

Happy 25. birthday, WWW

At 25, the World Wide Web Is Still a Long Way From Reality | WIRED
"Facebook and Google have become the gatekeepers of the web.
...
It’s as though everyone now has a printing press, but there are only two stores in town that sell newspapers. If you want to find an audience, you have to go through them."


"There are 1.07 billion websites, though an estimated 75 percent are not active, according to Internet Live Stats.

The are 4.73 billion webpages.

And while the internet is more than just the World Wide Web, it’s worth noting that there are 3.4 billion people on the internet.

Finally, if you really want to go all nostalgic, be sure to check out the very first website, which went live a couple of weeks earlier on August 6. Or look at cat GIFs."

Data Caching & Speed of Communication

An interesting comparison of speed of computer storage:

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years by Peter Norvig (AI, Stanford, Google)
On his classes Peter suggests importance of being aware and estimating order of magnitude
of processing time of algorithms, and adjusting programs accordingly, avoid "premature optimizations". For that a higher abstraction language like Python is proffered.

"Approximate timing for various operations on a typical PC:"


execute typical instruction1/1,000,000,000 sec = 1 nanosec
fetch from L1 cache memory0.5 nanosec
branch misprediction5 nanosec
fetch from L2 cache memory7 nanosec
Mutex lock/unlock25 nanosec
fetch from main memory100 nanosec
send 2K bytes over 1Gbps network20,000 nanosec
read 1MB sequentially from memory250,000 nanosec
fetch from new disk location (seek)8,000,000 nanosec
read 1MB sequentially from disk20,000,000 nanosec
send packet US to Europe and back150 milliseconds = 150,000,000 nanosec

"In more relatable terms.
  • 1 second for L1 Cache  (actual is 0.5 ns)
  • 5 days for memory
  • 11 days for data center
  • 23 days for SSD
  • 15 months for HD

New Google's OS called “Fuchsia”

Google is developing an OS called “Fuchsia,” runs on All the Things

"Every single operating system developed by Google to date has one thing in common: they're based on the Linux kernel. Chrome OS, Android, Chromecasts, you name it. Linux has powered Google hardware for years. However, the Linux kernel is not ideal for every situation. Especially in the case of embedded devices like car dashboards or GPS units, full-blown desktop kernels like Linux impact performance and cause other issues.
..
Fuchsia. the project’s GitHub page is simply, “Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System)”.


Google is using Flutter for the user interface, as well as Dart as the primary programming language. The icing on the cake is Escher, a renderer that supports light diffusion, soft shadows, and other visual effects, with OpenGL or Vulkan under the hood.
