If I buy something with ApplePay, and then need to return it, and thus get the price credited back to my credit card. The cashier often requires that they see the credit card.
But you can't hand them the credit card that ApplePay is tied to, they're expecting some other number that Apple pay uses...
I worked at a large, high profile, Div I university, who had a football coach that was paid over a million a year. The football program was a separate entity from the academic programs. So $0 from a students tuition went to fund the stadium expansions or pay the coaching staff their crazy salaries.
There was a significant cash flow that went from the football program to the academic side, but not the opposite.
Most of the data within these companies is "cool" meaning it's not actively being accessed. Take for example the massive amount of photos within FB. When was the last time you looked at a photo from 6months ago? If it needs to be accessed frequently, as in it becomes viral, then you move the photo from HDD to SSD. Sure there's 3-4TB SSD coming, but they're still much more expensive $/GB than HDD.
Also, Google's point isn't so much about $/GB but rather that they don't need as much reliability of the drive. Why buy enterprise grade drives when you're making 3+ copies of the data? Consumer grade drives can work for this. If your operational processes are smooth enough, the physical replacement process becomes trivial. Sure there's a lot of them to replace, but it's like replacing books on shelves. So if the cost of a drive can go down even further because it's 99.5 instead of 99.9, even better.
Had so many kids this year, many were bused in via Minivan... started at 5:30... I was cleaned out by 6:15... probably 100 kids. Though, lucky for the kids at around 6:30, because I had just pulled a fresh tray of lasagna out of the oven.....one slice... right in the bag...
Two years ago I bought a Certified Pre-Owned BMW from a dealer. It's basically a used car of a supposed "higher quality" from a dealer. Turned out that even though they do some sort of 5million point inspection, they forgot to clear the mp3 collection uploaded into the car's entertainment system, didn't clear the stored phonebook, nor the 10 recent phone numbers.
I would have been more impressed if he had instead of used stickers, had programmed the emoji to be displayed on the key itself using a programmable keyboard.
I've been running Plex on a Mac Mini for about 5years now. Great software, easy interface and optimized for controlling with an apple remote control (silver 3 button, not white 2 button) or iphone app. I have it connected via HDMI directly to my receiver and GigE to my LAN. All my content I keep on a NAS array in the corner.
I actually bought the mac mini specifically for Plex as at the time windows and linux support was kinda weak. Now they've got plex running in TVs and other devices.
Sorry. OS/2 had this before win95. Everything was an object. The desktop was basically an object that was a folder. Subfolders had their own individual properties (including backgrounds, permissions etc) being objects themselves.
One of the great advantages that allows object storage to be scalable is that it's completely stateless. A single command has no dependency on the previous or next command. There's no modification of existing objects, no "seek then write" commands either. This allows object storage to maintain one of the key tenants of being a cloud storage, it's not to provide high availability of a given instance, but to guarantee that the "retry" or the "allocation of a new resource" always succeeds. For example, VMs can go down at anytime, but there should never be an instance whereby you cannot create a new VM to replace the one that just died. While VMs can die at anytime, the VM service (EC2, Nova) can never go down.
With this crap like "seek", "open" then "read" that the author proposes you now have commands that are dependent on each other and thus create state. Something we want to avoid.
I'm not a Federal employee and I work in "Corporate America" and I know that if I told people to not use my bob@corporateemail.com but instead send it to bob@gmail.com or bob@myprivateserver.com, I would be terminated pretty fast. Regardless if the content I was reading was marked as public, classified or highly classified. Even when we have new employees who do not yet have a corp ID/email address yet and want to use their own laptop for the first week, we cannot send them email to their personal accounts.
How did she get away with this basic violation regardless if there are classified or non-classified emails.
How did she get people to send email to her personal server? Did she just set up her federal account to forward it to her automatically or did she start also telling people (lots of people), "Please send it to hillary@clintonemail.com?
At every company there's someone that works harder than you and makes far less money than you. Conversely, there's also someone that works far less than you and makes way more money than you.
I worked with a company that did a proof of concept for these "oil bath systems" It was just like in the photo, a rack on its' back immersed in a tank of oil.
From a cooling standpoint, it was great, from a parts replacement, it's a disaster waiting to happen. It's not how hard it is to replace the part. We installed a small crane above the rack to make it easier to lift the server up out of the bath, so we could lay it down and replace mem/cards/SSD etc. A 1RU server can weigh anywhere between 30-40lbs, and a 2RU server can weigh almost 70lbs.
We had to surround the bath will a perforated rubber mat, as oil+typical datacenter floor is a huge slip hazard.
You've also got to install pumps and a heat-exchanger. Reminds me of the old water cooled mainframes. Just with way more plumbing.
A whole house fan. The one I put in uses server fans and has motorized baffle to seal off the vent in the winter (to keep warm air from going into the attic). It uses less power than my TV and is amazingly quiet. Most of us remember the attic fans that sound like helicopters. I have a 1700sqft house and if it's cooler outside than inside, like in the summer evenings, I can cool down the whole house in about 10minutes. Just remember to open up a few windows, otherwise you could be pulling dirt in through any cracks or ash from the fireplace.

Bacon grease may be biodegradable, but try dumping that shit down your kitchen sink next time. Let me know how that goes.

Not sure how many of these are legit, but they are funny as hell, since they replace sugar with some ingredient that leads to intestinal issues.

Sure this is funny, but the workaround in TFA is pretty straightforward.

They build an app to hook up drivers with riders, and then they take a cut of the fare.
The drivers shoulder the large CapEx costs of buying a car and the OpEx costs of maintaining it.
