Comment Re:Comparing yourself to others never wins (Score 1) 238

As I understand it, and have observed, happiness isn't a function of absolute wealth, it's a function of relative wealth. To you, a Tahiti trip is a dream, but if you could easily afford it you'd instead surround yourself with people of similar wealth, and get depressed if you found yourself lacking. To someone in an impoverished country, your life is a dream; to you it's just "normal."

This is why money is such a treadmill. There's always someone with more of it, and you tend to compare yourself to those at a higher level than yourself.

Comment Re:Will we still talk ethernet over it? (Score 1) 101

This is nothing but marketing. They're comparing 10 Gb Ethernet, which runs over a single fiber pair, to something which runs at 25 Gb, over 32 fiber pairs.

Meh. 100 Gb Ethernet is commercially available today, which is 4x faster that what the article is hyping.

It's not just marketing.

25 Gb/s per fiber x 32 fibers = 800 Gb/s. 8x faster than 100 Gb/s.
