Peter Levine, a general partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, believes that cloud computing is soon going to take a back seat to edge computing — and we will very quickly see the majority of processing taking place at the device level. "The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong."

As I sit here surrounded by 6 office tower blocks at least 50 stories high I think there must be a sh*t load of processing power sitting idle at 2 am.

"Edge", as in the cloud's silver lining?

The two systems mentioned (Greenfield and Azure stack) are absolutely not "Edge" computing - mobile phones and smaller smart devices are what we are thinking instead.
Things like cameras with built in AI for facial recognition and the like doing the hard work of that but then handing off the data back to the cloud for subsequent processing - I don't foresee data not acquired by the "edge" devices being sent to them for processing though. (?)

I am the fringe, and I don't want no clouds pushed over here !
I will never own a car again (promise), but if I did, the last thing I would want it to do would be for it to be communing with other cars to engage in "machine learning." Nor would I want my "smart house" sharing its sensor data with other smart houses in the area (what a lure for hackers).
Bad enough I have to turn off Win 10 from making my boxen into P2P servers rendering parts of itself to unknown digital denizens.
"Communal bandwidth ?" Maybe ... if.
Oh, yeah, more servers, more cores, less latency, more years to live-stream your own vegetation before death, lower birth rates, climate change, higher resolution, richer rich, poorer poor, no more jobs ... tabloid tweet reality ... terrorism ... apocalypse ... yada, yada, yada ...
Telemetry: just say: "no !"
«Differences between Big-Endians, who broke eggs at the larger end, and Little-Endians gave rise to six rebellions: one Emperor lost his life, another his crown. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J. Swift, 'Gulliver's Travels,' 1726CE

In today’s IT community, automation is quite a buzzword. We hear about it a lot — from marketing and sales force automation to workload management automation and the automation of software related to business processes. "By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody"
I was going to go with "We are the robots", but someone sent me that recently. And after all, any Kraftwerk is good.

Lots of downsides to drinking, but happy hour may let your mind store memories. Then how does that explain the fact I can't remember anything after 7:30 last night?

Some may drink to remember, but most drink to forget.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No, it's more ancient, Dr. Feelgood - Milk and Alcohol, here are the lyrics:
White boy in town
Big black, blue sound
Night club, I paid in
I got a stamp on my skin
Main attraction dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
Stay put I wanna go
Hard work, bad show
More liquor, it don't help
He's gonna die, it breaks my heart
I decided eventually
This ain't doing a thing for me
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
Got up, I walked out

My reference was from an even earlier cult film A Clockwork Orange (film) - Wikipedia where the poison of the time was a white concoction that looked like a glass of milk and was called Moloko (spelling may be wrong).
