I offer this as an afterthought without any expectations of replies to last
week's latency discussion that focused on centralized vs. distributed, or o=
ne vs.
many, data centers. While IMO the authors do not take into proper account t=
he
costs associated with network bandwidth and node provisioning, I thought it=
 was
nonetheless interesting due to the other factors they highlighted. There's
nothing particularly correct here, merely some additional viewpoints on the
subject that were not covered here earlier. Enjoy!
