Gil missed an opportunity. Should have played for few more overs, scored 20-30 more runs and declared. Should have demanded England bat again for 3-4 overs. Try to get a wicket or two. Would have spiced up the last match!

Shelby is introducing placement groups that will be aware of multiple failure domains and provide strong resiliency against errors like this. The AWS outage today or GCP outage in June are reminders why there is an inherent technical advantage to decentralization and with

With the AWS outage, it really leads to the point of decentralization: One person's mistake can't break everyone else. When I worked at AWS, I watched at least 5 different outages such as: 1. A person dug up a fiber cable, this broke an entire data center 2. A person hit the

Shelby will turn Aptos into fertile ground for new on-chain utilities and use cases. Cloud storage is a massive market. It's expected to grow from $161B to $639B by 2032, with a 21.7% CAGR. What makes this exciting for Aptos and the crypto space is that @shelbyserves can

I love when haters keep fudding @shelbyserves. Keep telling me why, with all your vast experience in scalable data infrastructure and high-performance storage systems, why an archival storage solution is comparable or better than a completely different category of a real-time hot

Storage is the missing layer. Blockchains run fast. Oracles work. Messages move across chains. But without high performance storage, real execution stays centralized. We're building Shelby with @AptosLabs to fix that. jumpcrypto.com/writing/shelby…
