Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to an enhanced data download mechanism for power constrained Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices. An IoT file share server can receive an update file from an IoT application server. The IoT file share server can calculate a file chunk size based upon a device type of the IoT device and a file size of the update file. The file chunk size can be calculated such that each file chunk of a plurality of file chunks is downloadable to the IoT device in a single awake period of the IoT device. The IoT file share server can partition the update file into a plurality of file chunks to be sent to the IoT device, each of which can include a portion of the update file, and the portion can be of the file chunk size.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for receiving from responders conversation selection criteria and mode of communication information. A request for a conversation is received, from an initiator using a first communication mode that identifies a topic, but does not identify any responders. A conversation identifier is created. Possible responders are determined based on the topic and the conversation selection criteria. The topic of the conversation is sent to the possible responders, without identifying the initiator. A first response from a first responder is received using a second communication mode that is different than the first communication mode. The first response is mapped to the conversation based in part on the conversation identifier. The response is sent to the initiator using the first communication mode.

Operations of a system can comprise determining respective contradiction values for second-level domains of a group of second-level domains in observed browsing history traffic. The operations can also comprise separating intended network traffic from non-intended network traffic based on the respective contradiction values. The respective contradiction values can indicate levels of inconsistency between the observed browsing history traffic and a determined popularity ranking.

Abstract: From a stream management service, indications of transmissions of data records of a first data stream via a persistent network connection associated with a subscription are provided to a stream processing application. In response to detecting that a transfer throttling condition associated with the subscription has been met, a delay is introduced before additional data records are transmitted via the same persistent network connection. After a subscription expiration period has elapsed, an indication of the expiration is provided to the application via the persistent connection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for efficient data transfer within a user space network stack. Unlike prior art monolithic networking stacks, the exemplary networking stack architecture described hereinafter includes various components that span multiple domains (both in-kernel, and non-kernel). For example, unlike traditional “socket” based communication, disclosed embodiments can transfer data directly between the kernel and user space domains. Direct transfer reduces the per-byte and per-packet costs relative to socket based communication. A user space networking stack is disclosed that enables extensible, cross-platform-capable, user space control of the networking protocol stack functionality. The user space networking stack facilitates tighter integration between the protocol layers (including TLS) and the application or daemon. Exemplary systems can support multiple networking protocol stack instances (including an in-kernel traditional network stack).

Abstract: A collaborative content management system enables users to selectively create file-level comments, in addition to content level comments, in collaborative content items. A file-level comment can be created in a number of different ways, including creating a comment associated with a title, header, heading, or other designated portion of the content; by designating a message associated with sharing the content item as a file-level comment; by replaying via a messaging system to a message sharing the content item; or by including a file-level primitive in the content of a comment. A file-level comment may be indicated in the collaborative content item by visually distinguishing formatting of a title, header or other portion of the content item. A file-level comment may be displayed in a visually distinctive manner, such as with specified formatting or in a specific window pane apart from content level comments.

Abstract: A multi-layer storage class placement stack may generate a token containing storage class placement prescriptions for controlling the placement of stored items within a selection of classes for storage. An input layer of the storage class placement stack may generate time-collated activity data based on historical access data, volume metric data, and/or tagging data. The time-collated activity data may include data groupings using timestamps or other timing indicators. A transformation layer may further process the time-collated activity data to generate defined-period summation data that provides summary detail for defined durations across a period of analysis. The defined-period summation data may be used by a prescriptive engine layer to generate prescriptions for placement of individual stored items by associating the prescriptions with storage identifiers for the individual items.
