It's a sensible system, would not mind assuming that it's turned off once they clock out. I built a gps tracking system for the state of CT nearly 20 years ago it was fought tooth and nail and was never turned on (all the gear was in place, working, and paid for). Cops HATE actually having to work and be held accountable for there actions. It makes it so much harder to be an abusive sociopath.
Wait a few years till somebody crunches the data to show that a crime ridden area is undeserved or that they are sped through and sues.
Good thing I do not use any of the above to get my TV. My active cable TV subscription ends at a turned off HD homerun. Sickbeard is just so much faster and less annoying, paired with xbmc.
Or have malls been giving sweet deals to the big end cap stores? From a DC perspective if you can get servers inside metro Ethernet ranges that opens up a lot of consolidation opportunity to get servers out of closets and other non idea spaces.
They are just sharing data on there particular setup not actually testing anything. Backblaze loves to blog it's a marketing tool after all. There hardware really does not have any place outside of there market. Lets face it you can cram 48 raw TB into a 1ru with some actual processing power, ram and a decent interconnect. They are slightly less dense with very little CPU, ram, or interconnect.
They use consumer hard drives not enterprise, They say themselves that this data probably does not really apply to ent drives. BB also uses a custom chassis that a lot of people would take issue with as far as potential vibration etc. That is a great deal different than a well engineered SAN or even server and affects wear and performance.
You know that I know that, the unwashed masses do not nor do they care to. Oh the key server has one.let me click accept it's hard to get them to even compare the fingerprint with the footer. Key parties can be tainted just as easily. Sure calling a contact and exchanging fingerprints seems like loads of fun but it's impractical at scale. Tying key servers to domains via dnssec secured domains does not stop whatever country that domain is in from messing with things but makes it a lot harder.
90's crypto ideal works for those that will use it but it does not scale.
If your dropping 300 - 1k for a high end video card why would you be driving a 150 buck 1080p monitor off it? 2560x1600 monitors are 350 ish with decent ips panels.
I'm running 3 32 inch 2560x1600 panels on my primary desktop and still want more pixels.
It trusts that they are giving accurate responses, your communication could be tampered with. They can hold incorrect data. They can be altered by legal means. A whole host of issues. They are more convenient than passing out keys everywhere, but are not going to stand up against state level tampering. HKP spreads the love around a bit, mitm a few thousand key servers is one thing potentially billions is another all together.
If they are going to mitm one way they will do the same on the opposite way, so no you will not know everybody gets messages sources from the key they expected to the key they are using. If you want to get very crafty using a key that is a collision fingerprint would not be impossible, a huge rainbow table would be needed less if you can compromise the rng source.
2 Trivial to mitm 3 You just inserted the NSA's public key 4 Your happily encrypting the email for the NSA: mitm box 5 Again trivial to mitm
Trust is hard and nearly impossible to automate. PGP/GPG works extremely well in small groups where they can exchange keys face to face, with it's weakness being the machines that store those private keys and the people that own them.
And your still back to if you send that fingerprint in the clear along with the message it can be manipulated, or passing them around which is impractical at scale.
As soon as you trust key servers you have the same issue as the root CA's they can be manipulated.
PGP/GPG potentially works rather well, it's weakness is having to move around and validate public keys. The secondary issue is halving to store them on a PC. An opensource smartcard device would seem to deal with the second part. But centralized key stores just beg to be abused.
Nobody likes the dirty little secret that coal plants discharge more radioactive material than all the nuke accidents and wast ever has. Coal has a decent amount of uranium in it and that's going up the stack to land downwind.
They are city dwellers, living that dense never makes sense.
My disaster shopping lists have been crafting supplies for my GF and stocking up on gas. Mostly because neither of those two things will keep in my home. Crafting supplies get used up and gas goes bad quickly.
So data centers no close to people. It really does not work, latency is often a huge issue. This means data centers need to be physically close it's a physics issue. Sure if your DC is just say doing offsite backup sure you could put it on the moon. The biggest issue was gen sets / fuel flooding this was from a post 9/11 fire code that stopped them from storing fuel where they traditionally did.
If your solely running in any DC or area you have a serious issue. Certain requirements might necessitate close (sync replication without serious performance loss).
They have homogenized the offering to a great exent. The packages are being dragged kicking and screaming away from the single box stack forget adding in anything besides web/email/database. Organic growth favors that single silo to start but then it's nearly impossible to move away from as you grow.

Because basic encryption is hard?

Seems like they sell it as a close but pricey for everything play.

Yea it's rather much to call one company's statistics a study there is no comparisons etc made just raw stats.

You can go even further with requiring the user to approve the key signing even potentially displaying info about whats its doing.

It's still astounds me when neighbors have 0 prep. 30 days of food is just regular grocery shopping.

Brother is dead to me after it's Blah ink cart is empty, so the scanner wont work.
if 75% of the flying population is a potential threat you have issues.
Any different than Google collecting wifi SSID's?
