Ive never had an issue getting the compressed data amounts onto lto 5 tapes. I dont say any reason that lto8 would suddenly be different.
That said im looking at this from a large scale commercial archival perspective. And in those cases the tapes go off site to an environmentally controlled store.
Then you look at the ease of use you get when you add in tape libraries. For example ones that hold 24 tapes you start to see why they beat other storages.
$150ish for 30tb of storage using LTO 8. WD Red 10tb drives are ~400ish. So storage cost is more like 8 to 10 times cheaper. And thats enterprise grade vs "prosumer" grade.
On top of that you need 3 drives to equal 1 tape. So storage costs are 3 times higher. Also I sure as hell wouldn't want to rely on a HDD spinning up for the first time after sitting on a shelf for 10 years, let alone 20 or 30 years. Sure it might, but I wouldn't want to rely on it.
As far as I am aware tape is currently the only viable long term archival storage method.
Chernobyl killing a million people is a totally unsupported claim. No one anywhere claims that. The WHO estimates a total of 4000 extra cancers using a method that provably over estimates the impact.
Also I'm not an american, and germany has the grand total of 6 coal mines. A quick search also turned up 57 miners dying in a german coal mine in '88. So it depends how old you are....
Ok.... In the US there are about 35 coal miners killed each year.
Wikipedia lists total nuclear accidents deaths at around ~90-120 depending on the counter. So 3-5 years of coal.... And thats worldwide nuclear vs US coal.
Many people write their CVs in the 3rd person. So gender is easy to identify.
This is particularly the case in industries where CVs are contained in tender or bid submissions. In those cases the people tend to just use their corporate CV and those are almost always written in the 3rd.
Also I don't look at what skills are endorsed. As you pointed out its totally useless.
I recruit in the civil engineering sectors, so it's easier for me to ascertain someones skillset based on the projects that they have worked on. If your background shows something like "Pacific Highway - Section 2C - Surface Water Engineer" I don't really need to look to see if Tuflow or HecRas is endorsed on your profile.
To be honest then your attitude is that hostile to recruiters you are never going to be a someone I will work with.
If you find getting a message causes you to become that incensed I dont know how you function in todays world.
Building relationships with well connected recruiters is a logical process to advancing your career. I keep myself open to opportunities, why wouldn't you? I know that I'm not connected to everyone and everything, why would you slam the door?
How old is your profile? Did you write "don't contact me about jobs 1 day ago or 4 years ago?" If your skillset is particularly rare, what do I have to lose by asking if I can tempt you? I'm doing that 50 times already today, so 1 more doesn't hurt.
Next though that "impressed with your career history" is the generic shit that linkedin autofills into inmails. It's shit and I wish it didn't exist. If you are getting those then the person who messaged you is lazy.
However my approaches look more like this,
Hi Paul,
Hoping to find a time we could talk as I have an opportunity doing X based in Y location.
The role offers these perks.
I appreciate your profile says you're happy and you are probably not interested in a new role, but I wanted to find out what something would need to offer for you to entertain a conversation.
What would be the best time and number for me to give you a call?
Linkedin search uses radius filters on locations. If you widen the search too far the results are too massive for you to effectively process.
So eg water engineer required in location X. Show me all water engineers withing 30 miles of X location is your starting point. You will still get over 1000 hits depending on how big X city is. You then need to manually review all of those for suitability, so having too broad a location search makes the results unusable.
Because ~60-70% of my target sector have profiles on LinkedIn. Getting someones name is a huge part of my job. From there I can track them down, get contact details and talk to them.
If I need a senior water engineer in a certain area then linkedin will give me a starting point for people to talk to. That is then combined with my own database and other sources to build a map of people working in that area.
I am a recuiter, linkedin provides about 25% of the people i place. I approach ~200 people per week via the platform.
If you are not getting approaches you should look at what your profile portrays you as. Also you can mark yourself as actively looking which highlights you to recruiters.
Think in house CRM or other random business app that had the vendor vanish 5 years ago. All 25 people in the business need access to said crap pile to work. Cost of a replacement option is eye watering because of how vendor locked the data is. So there are 25 users on win 7 instead of 10 right there.
I would be amazed if all the artifacts weren't already documented properly TBH.
Museums usually only display a small % of their total collections at any one time, lots of stuff never ever goes on show. Having photographic records, marked with scale and a reference code to the records for the piece is standard practice.

The point of the article is large scale storage for cloud. $4k on a drive is a rounding error in these scales.
When you are talking 1000s of tapes, and the humidity and temperature controlled archival storage costs the price of the drives is tiny.

You know that Australia is 7th on the list right?

Depends on your country. Monster was good in the UK when I worked there, but has limited market penetration in AUS.
Linkedin, monster, seek, indeed, dice, mycareer. TBH I use an aggregator service that trawls a lot of the databases as well.
I would love for Brisbane to have DST. Especially now I have school age kids.
I can be flexible with my work hours. Less so for my kids school hours.

Huh?
Why would a source supplying 25% of my income suck? At what level does it need to be to not suck?

Only if your current employer has a recruiter premium account. It doesn't show up for any other type of account

Agreed. But win 7 is still supported currently. So the crunch hasn't come yet
Wrong end of the market.

Cost of a replacement option is eye watering because of how vendor locked the data is. So there are 25 users on win 7 instead of 10 right there.
Agreed. I'm more thinking though where the vendor of the software no longer exists and as an organisation you have limited IT capabilities.
Because you have some crappy bit of unsupported proprietary software that doesn't run on windows 10 and will cost a bucket load to replace.
Reading about it the whole operation had been let slip into total disrepair. No funding for ages. Building was suffering major maintenance issues.
