Ever watch a master illusionist? If you have, he is making you watch what he wants you to watch, while he does his thing where you aren't watching. The act, is just that, and part of the distraction. You're being played .
Yes, Trump camp made a big deal about it, to distract you from the other thing he did yesterday, And tomorrow, it will be another distraction.You think this is ego, when it is about distracting idiots who make big deals about stupid Crowd Sizes. Keep in mind, it was the Press that started it with the stupid crowd size comparisons. Trump just took advantage of the situation the press set him up with.
The problem is, you think it is about "crowd sizes" when the reality is, it is about distraction. But go ahead, and make it about Trump, that just gives him more ammo to distract you from what he is doing over there --------------->
The bathtub curve is real, and if you follow BackBlaze tips, they show that years 2-4 are usually exceptional in terms of reliability.
My recommendation is to buy the NAS/SAN/POD/Whatever and spin it up for 3 months, then put it into production and then wait 42 months. After that, start planning and when the next drive fails in the 42-48 month range, start the purchasing process (depending on lead time needed), get it installed, wait 3 months to get early failures out of the way than transfer data... wash/rinse/repeat. You'll get close to five years between purchase and retirement, with a bit of overlap between versions.
If you have several decks of drives, you can get a reasonable cycle going, and it becomes second nature. Data loss is not an option.
Crowd size is literally a distraction, and irrelevant. But make a big deal out of it because says "yuge deal" like crowd sizes.
Women's March on DC was "YUGE" and yet there was no message to the march. It was and wasn't everything, depending on who you talked to. That muddled message was read loud and clear by me, "were protesting to protest". Here is an example. It was about "countering the rape culture" (and Trump's "grab her by the pussy" comment) until it is pointed out that one of the keynote speakers was a... convicted rapist murderer, who raped and killed a handicapped gay man. Then suddenly it wasn't about any of that. I could go down the entire line of hypocritical placards at the event to show how it was and wasn't about each and every one of the major themes. Schrodinger's Cat of protests.
So, large crowd of meaningless messaging is nothing but a distraction.

Oh remind, what's the word used to describe something not true
Actually it was quite true. Cuba ban and change of the wet foot/dry foot policy was essentially worse because there were people literally on the way who got turned away by change in policy. Yeah, facts are universal. Alternative facts are those that you dismiss because they don't suit your narrative.
You make my case for me. I would suggest to you, that the ban from Cuba was essentially worse, because it wasn't telegraphed at all and was completely out of the blue. You cannot say the same thing about Trump, who telegraphed it from the primaries through the general election.
I do know the details, but my outlook values certain details over others. Of course, I am a racist nazi for thinking the brown/black skin people of Cuba deserve to be refugees more than the brown skin people of states that foster radical Islamic terrorists, all other things being equal. The fact that we actually CAN vet the brown / black skinned people from Cuba almost universally means we know who they are when they get here.
The sad thing is, I will be called a racist for pointing out that it has nothing to do with skin color.
Most news consumed by Obama voters was from the Daily Show. News masked as.... "Comedy". When caught in a lie, it was "comedic license" but the idiots believed it anyway.
Only to them. But since it is easier to scream "Trump is banning immigrants!!!!!" than it is to say "Trump has suspended travel for 120 days from seven countries" all we get are the idiot posts because that is what people parrot.
Keep in mind, Obama banned immigrants just last month, and nobody cared.
No. But repeating a lie over and over again does give it a certain gravitas. Now, I wonder where else I can spread something as being "settled" without any attribution....
You know that for most people, Excel is overkill. And for the people where its not overkill, custom apps perform much better and are easier to maintain. I love good Spreadsheet as much as the next guy, having started building them back when it was VisiCalc on Apple ][e. I've set up some fairly sophisticated spreadsheets in all the major flavors, 123, Excel, Symphony, Quatro, Libre/OpenOffice and the aforementioned VisiCalc, so I know full well what a good Spreadsheet can do. That being said, most people can get by easily with Google Sheets (which runs on Chrome). I can count on my hand the number of people who could make use of Excel in ways not available on Sheets.
To the point I think you're making, technically you're correct, practically you're not. Chrome doesn't run Excel, but then again, most people don't need Excel to do their spreadsheet work.
I think you're conflating content and Design. Content includes charts and the raw data. This is what is important. And you're right, some content doesn't work on some platforms. IF you have the design and structure built right, the correct content could be displayed in the appropriate format (or not available) on a given platform. In UI design, you can't have a huge button that would take up the whole screen on a smartphone. What you need is a button, checkbox or slider or whatever, just not the same as on a desktop with lots of real estate. The content (toggle a button represents) can be in any design / format and structurally located where it makes sense for that platform.
You realize that spinning disks that size are "archive" only usage. Not actual usage. By that measure, tape is really cheap. There is a reason why you hardly see that any longer.
SSDs are way faster at both access and raw transfer speed. Your drive, at best, gets 800 maybe 1000 IOPs. An SSD drive gets upwards of 100,000 iops (or more).
There is almost no reason to buy Spinning drives at this point.
When Chrome starts running Android Apps, Microsoft will be dead, except for platform specific products, at which case, most of those could probably be wound up in a custom appliance. I'm simply surprised why anyone would need to build on top of Windows any longer.
To properly build two interfaces requires way too much effort. It is much easier if you stop trying to make all things for all people for every device. The solution is much simpler than convoluted designs.
Three parts to every design, separated from each other part: 1) Content, 2)Design, 3)Structure
Content: The actual bits that matter. Articles, pictures, code snips whatever it is that "counts".
Design: The flowery bits that distinguish content from other content. Fonts, Styles, Artwork and Logos. These are the bits the identify the content brand.
Structure: This is how the content and design bits are displayed. Two Columns or Three. Header above, in the middle, or below. Left / right. "Layout"
If you break up the UI into these three aspects, it becomes much easier to modify / replace / customize. You can skin the layout to make it look unique, you can adjust the structure to work better for different work flows (Small, Medium, Large screens; Programmers vs Graphic Designers)
The problem is, we have people trying to shoehorn Touch Interfaces on desktops that don't need touch. You have people trying to make something look good on small screens, but on large screens gives way too much "white space" or ending up looking "cluttered".
The reality is, that everyone's needs are different, and the whole "one size fits all" thing doesn't work for everyone. And you end up making very few really happy in the process.

USA has six states with population density that is less than New Zealand.
Closest in size is Wyoming at 97,818 mi/sq, Compared to New Zealand at 103,483 mi/sq. You can make all the comparisons you want and try to minimize the huge discrepancy in size, population density and all you do is prove my point. America isn't like most other countries in the world. My point remains
we have large chunks of land that have "Ultra Low" populations (Wyoming, Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska...) where feasibility outside a few population centers is nearly impossible.
It isn't meaningless metric. It is a great piece of elitist propaganda that indicates how they like things at that moment. Whenever someone is against the globalist agenda they advance the clock, and when Obama took over, they love it, and moved it back a bit. Even though Obama pissed off Russia and gave Iran a clear path to Nuclear weapons, none of that mattered.
It is what it is, propaganda, and as such it has meaning,
The McRib is a classic example of something that is really popular, but limited term item on the menu. It is that way on purpose, because scarcity creates a subconscious desire. I know people who do not eat at McD's at all, except when McRib is out. Then they eat there all the time, not just for McRib. It is really weird when you think about it.
In eight years, what we call "Ultra Fast" today, will be "ultra slow". So it is not only unambitious, it is ultimately meaningless. As a Politician success is pretty much guaranteed, "We brought Ultra High Speed Internet to the masses during my administration", when they did absolutely nothing, except get bribes and kickbacks from Internet Providers. Genius!
"Ultra Fast" is a comparative term, and apart from being relativistic is meaningless. That way, you can always disparage those that have faster / slower internet than this. The "One Percenter" is obviously abusing his wealth, and the poor guy on less than "Ultra" is somehow wronged by those with faster internet.
Once you realize that terms like this are designed to cause strife and envy, it makes it very clear what the goal is. We NEED government to fix the obvious injustice of internet speeds!
Have you seen how big the US is compared to even... Europe? Seattle to Miami is about the same distance as London is from Tel Aviv.
AND we have large chunks of land that have "Ultra Low" populations (Wyoming, Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska...) where feasibility outside a few population centers is nearly impossible.
But this is what happens when you have a bunch of elitists planning the lives of everyone else, but who never leave big cities.
"Ultra Fast" is such a relative term. I remember when at T1 was "ultra fast", when everyone was on dialup. To me, "Ultra Fast" is meaningless marketing drivel.

This is where you start calling me names: Racist, bigot, homophobe... or the generic "Hater". That always works!
