Perfect. Then they can finally explain why it's ok for Trump to call on "the Second Amendment people" to stop Hillary.
I am not suggesting anyone #ASSASSINATE Trump. I am merely indicating that I am shocked it hasn't happened yet.
Who says it's ok? I certainly don't. If we had a Senate with a modicum of ethics, he'd have been checked a long time ago. But as long as we have Mitch running the Senate, nothing will get done unless Mitch's sponsors approve.
My Plex lifetime account is looking better and better. Oh, and the OTA recorder that also strips commercials isn't bad, either. Wish it did TiVo though, and set markers and not actually delete them (since sometimes it gets it wrong.)
Piracy? Oh, you mean stealing (Imaginary) Property? Why the shows are right on cable/streaming where they've always been, although I'm actually watching (and renting and buying) more anime/manga from ShoenJump, HiDive, and others. The jury's still out on FUN vs CR/VRV though.
Plex rocks. And honestly, Plex is good for those movies and shows you might want to see more than once, or the DVR features (OTA) and snip that cable $100/month drain. (they say it's only $50/month, plus the sports fee, plus the second tv fee, plus the third tv fee, plus DVR fees, per TV, plus.....)
All you need is some of those non-lethal shot gun shells - rubber buckshot or something like those nets. That way no issues with bullets killing people when they come back down.
Frankly, I'm quite surprised nobody #ASSASSINATEd him yet. I would prefer he be #IMPEACHed first. You can't martyr somebody that's been voted out.
You'll have the Secret Service knocking on your door in about 3, 2, 1...
No sane person would assassinate him. Remember the last "worst" president? Pence would make him look good, as he has 0 morals (supports amoral Trump) and one incredibly fucked up world view ("Mother"????) At least with Trump everyone knows he's a 3 year old in the midst of a temper tantrum and try to corral his worst behaviors. With Pence, that attempt at control just wouldn't be there. And if you think you can remove both of them, you get Pelosi. Bleah. Then Grassley, the walking zombie. It's just morning turtles, all the way down.
But I am not going to pay CBS so that I can watch ST: Discovery. I'm not going to pay Disney to watch whatever they have (Star Wars let's say). Certainly not going to pay the others either. It's funny - we've all been asking for a La Carte for years. Now we get something semi resembling it - and it means the prices go up.
a la carte generally implied paying for a desired item at a fraction of the bundled price. Not paying a full bundle price for each desired item. CBS still hasn't gotten a penny. Nor are any of the other streaming solutions.
What I do see happening in the near future is a scenario where people sign up for limited times, stream everything they want of a particular provider, then drop them and move on. This likely will be the exact opposite of what at least certain providers want, as the water cooler crowd won't be talking about the latest episodes of whatever they're hawking. So eventually content providers will sign major current seasons back up with a common provider like Hulu, iTunes, Vudu, Netflix and the like, with access to back episodes as a purchase for a small payment out of a subscription fee. Or they'll suffer being a bit player hawking stuff everywhere all the time without ever really getting mass audiences.
Yes - because anyone that has a different viewpoint must be a paid shill.
And the topic was about the Facebook app. Not sure how your script blocker and going to the web app has anything to do with the discussion.
Given FBs history and Zuck's anti-social tendencies (irony...) I wouldn't put anything past FB on Android. Let's just say fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice.... FB has a long long long way to go to get back in the trusted space, and it won't happen as long as any of their C-levels are still involved
TL;DR: FB is an untrustworthy entity and Android has too many holes to trust anything installed is not behaving badly.
I agree it will keep large-capacity HDDs afloat, but the question is how many people will need that capacity at that point. I consider myself a relatively heavy storage user for a consumer, likely in the top 5%.
Think data centers, like what Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. have. The number of HDDs that these companies buy each year is staggering.
That's all that will buy them. That's a few billion less HDDs, as they won't be in laptops nor desktops anymore, even cheap systems.
Well, considering there are only 14TB drives today with 10TB being common - that means a 100TB "drive" is actually a raided drive, and will push an average of roughly 1000MB/s, provided you have the proper controllers in play. But that's probably unfair. I would hope the next iteration of drives do better than up the average transfer by less than 50%. My current external 8TB HDDs are pushing over 120MB/s on copies between them. And that's through a common USB controller (USB 3, so no where near max) with the receiving HDD being the bottleneck. They're pretty cheap drives with slower spindle speeds, hence the slower write transfers.
Even reading a 14 TB HDD at max theoretical speeds will take a day, and no aged drive is going to be anywhere close to those speeds. If you're getting 120MB/s then you're probably archiving a lot of large files.
Meanwhile, tape will always persist. In contrast to HDDs and SSDs, tape is impervious to device crashes. The tape can always be extracted and read in another device. That recoverability advantage will keep tape around for a long time.
Forgot this section - tape has its own problems - it wrinkles, sticks to itself, rips, stretches, decomposes and/or suffers wear or particles lose adhesion to the backing among some of its potential failings. There's also speed and size. Last I looked, these were in the 200 or so TB range per tape. Transfer speeds didn't seem awesome from memory, and costs were high, both for drives and media. Spinning disks became the backup media of choice just for ease of use pretty quickly if you just needed a backup. If you need archival retention, then tape may be your preferred media.
A quick search through Amazon for the not cheap Samsung 860 EVOs show's a roughly $160 / TB price. WD Red prices are roughly $30/TB. Still a 5X difference for these specific drives, but the prices are far lower than indicated. And note that other lines or brands of drives are even cheaper. I saw a 2TB AData drive on sale a few weeks ago for roughly $80 / TB. Not that I'd want one in my system but the prices can get much lower for SSDs today.
Yes, the numbers I originally quoted were average prices. Shopping around will yield lower prices. For example, Backblaze was paying about $20/TB two years ago. The ~5x difference has surprisingly held steady for many years.
My point was that those numbers are off, and the numbers I quoted were for the top end of consumer drives. HDDs by definition have less headroom to drop prices. SSD prices in some cases are half those quoted. That means that on average I would pay about 3X the per TB price for SSD over HDDs.
Well, it depends on what "saving" means. HAMR/MAMR are still unproven in a commercial setting. They have been working in the lab for many years, but storage devices have very stringent reliability requirements, so it remains to be seen what the actual reliability of the eventual release products will be. However, the more immediate way that HAMR/MAMR will "save" HDDs is that they will significantly decrease the cost per TB. That will maintain the significant price difference relative to flash, and that price difference is what will keep large-capacity HDDs afloat for the next few years.
I agree it will keep large-capacity HDDs afloat, but the question is how many people will need that capacity at that point. I consider myself a relatively heavy storage user for a consumer, likely in the top 5%. Currently I'd need 10 SSDs minimum for my storage needs, which at $600+ each is a bit pricey since I can get spinning drives to cover those needs in full for less than 2 SSDs. Which is the main reason spinning drives are used. None of my regular machines use spinning drives except for my large projects desktop. And that one will be replaced in the near future and likely not contain any spinning drives either. That is the situation for most people as well - the cost of an SSD vs HDD in their new systems just won't be compelling enough for most to purchase the HDD one, especially as they don't need 8+TB in their systems as a system disk.
Meanwhile, tape will always persist. In contrast to HDDs and SSDs, tape is impervious to device crashes. The tape can always be extracted and read in another device. That recoverability advantage will keep tape around for a long time.
BTW, cloning full 100 TB HDDs is not trivial. Assuming a theoretical max transfer speed of 200 MB/s, it would take almost 6 days to copy the data, and that theoretical speed will likely be hard to achieve.
Well, considering there are only 14TB drives today with 10TB being common - that means a 100TB "drive" is actually a raided drive, and will push an average of roughly 1000MB/s, provided you have the proper controllers in play.

I think it is more to the fact, that AMD makes a set of chips which are a little better then Intel, then they ride that train until the chips are out of date, while Intel keeps their designs up to date,
You might want to review who rides their train to the bitter end. Recall the super pipeline of the P4 architecture that got its ass whooped by AMD's Opteron? Intel then essentially copied AMD's approach. Remember the x64 extensions? By AMD again? Intel licensed those. Then recall the various antitrust lawsuits Intel lost to AMD to the tune of several billion dollars which was the result of Intel using their market leverage to severely hurt AMD in the market? And now AMD has come back with Ryzen, a better design than the Intel Core 2 based one from back in 2006 or so (they just changed the branding).
I have 10TB on my desktop just to work with which is mostly full - my storage is on another system with north of 40TB hooked up, although that's really effectively 20TB as it's also got a live backup connected. There's another off-site backup with 20TB. And that storage is getting full enough I'm looking at adding another 3 10TB disks just to handle the next year or so, based on past rates.
Even though flash prices have been dropping rapidly, they still have not gotten close to HDD prices. As a point of comparison, take a look at average price charts for various capacities of HDDs and SSD. Based on this webpage, the average large-capacity SSD price is around $250/TB, while the average large-capacity HDD price is around $40/TB. This roughly 5x price difference has held steady for many years.

HAMR/MAMR/bit-pattern has been promised for a very long time, and the price difference relative to flash will only increase when these new disruptors are commercially ready.
I recall when PMR first came out that for the first 3 years or so there were significant quality issues with Seagate being able to scale up from the initial releases. I'm not sure if Seagate ever really recovered from their 1.5-3TB disk fiascos, because I no longer buy Seagate. I personally had a worse than 30% failure rate across my 1.5, 2, and 3TB drives with at least 1 drive in each class failing within 2 years. I saw similar rates of complaints with the 5 and 8TB drives so skipped buying those when their prices were enticing. Hitachi, Toshiba, HGST, and WD (Yes, I'm aware several of those have been bought since I purchased those brands) for spinning are doing just fine.
My main point is that HAMR/MAMR aren't going to save hard drives in the next couple of years if history is any indication. In fact, this may mark the switchover for spinning HDDs from main storage to mass storage, replacing tape except where true longevity is needed. And even that may change, because it's rather trivial to clone 100TB from HDD to HDD. With tape - I hope it's better than it used to be, as it was easier to just rotate backups than clone a tape.
Or a spinning drive where a head hits the platter, on a sweep. No real difference - just assume all failures are total bricks, and be done with it. If you don't, your backup strategy has already failed, the only question is how much has it failed: 90 or 100 per cent?

Some aren't. I figured you were current enough with the news of the last year or two that I wouldn't have to present the cases. Here are a few:
Philando Castile
Antwon Rose
Walter Scott
Samuel DuBose
Deven Guilford
Darrius Stewart
O'Shae Terry
Jordan Edwards
Botham Jean
That's probably enough to cover "some" in your request. Several of those were physically attacked by police and then killed. Only a few were even indicted. And I believe all these date from 2014 or later, so it's not like I even tried hard to find them, and there's more that I know about, I just don't have time to locate the data on them. There are a couple that are not 100% innocent in this list, but they arguably did nothing to deserve being shot.
There's definitely something wrong when officers shoot first. Especially when there's no gun present. I'd even go so far as to say part of the problem is officers without partners being on duty. IMNSHO no officer should be out and about on duty without a partner. And they should be willing to call for assistance if needed, before things escalate due to police action.
The really noteworthy point here is when they do get jailed, it's widely reported because it is so unusual as to be newsworthy nationwide. I'd bet you can't list more than 10 convictions since 2010, even though several hundred get shot every year.
I'm not sure I share your optimism about the NSA having your data. After all, given current megalomaniac trends, while I doubt it, it is quite possible to get an NSA that does political will versus rule of law. Just imagine if you wound up on the receiving end of ire and got a "Lock Her Up" chant thrown your way. I'm sure your data couldn't be used to jail you. Then again, if we're that far down the rabbit hole, I doubt them not having it would stop them.
I'd be perfectly happy for voice control if all aspects of it stayed in my house. I don't like the thought that my voice commands go out to vendor 'x', pass through the NSA, then vendor 'x' records a bunch of extra data about the fact that person A is home and did 'y', and then finally sends a command back down the wire to me.
I do whimsically recall the days of local computer voice control with OS/2's Warp 4 - worked pretty well too. No internet connection needed. In fact, it might be worth it to see if a OS/2 VM could run a home automation setup. That'd be interesting, and easy enough to limit to local LAN only.
Finally, for home automation control - since the days of X10 you could control your lights etc with a simple button push. Again, no internet connection needed. You don't need one now either, but you'll have to avoid all Alexa/Google/Siri/WiFi home automation junk. People just don't understand how these things can infringe on their privacy.

Just imagine if you wound up on the receiving end of ire and got a "Lock Her Up" chant thrown your way. I'm sure your data couldn't be used to jail you. Then again, if we're that far down the rabbit hole, I doubt them not having it would stop them.
I'd be perfectly happy for voice control if all aspects of it stayed in my house. I don't like the thought that my voice commands go out to vendor 'x', pass through the NSA, then vendor 'x' records a bunch of extra data about the fact that person A is home and did 'y', and then finally sends a command back down the wire to me.
I do whimsically recall the days of local computer voice control with OS/2's Warp 4 - worked pretty well too. No internet connection needed. In fact, it might be worth it to see if a OS/2 VM could run a home automation setup. That'd be interesting, and easy enough to limit to local LAN only.
Finally, for home automation control - since the days of X10 you could control your lights etc with a simple button push. Again, no internet connection needed. You don't need one now either, but you'll have to avoid all Alexa/Google/Siri/WiFi home automation junk. People just don't understand how these things can infringe on their privacy.
My last 3 cars have HUDs. My newest does not. Go figure. The damn windshields are a mint to replace though.
