We store programmatically salted hashes of passwords. Reversing those can't even be done with rainbow tables, not without generating a table per salt, which is going to be a long drawn out process. We're looking at even putting those hashes in a shadow table referenced by a different salted hash value which generated on the fly. So merely grabbing the DB won't do you a lick of good, especially as even the account user login is also hashed. 2 main pieces of data for logins, no (simple) way to grab them. Running certain reports requires going through a server, but that removes one major vector for data leaks and manipulations, direct DB access.
I am at the point now where I have so many passwords and so many phone numbers, that I don't even bother remembering anything I don't use monthly. For the rest, a password manager keeps them secure and safe, and it's not on my phone. The biggest problem with millennials is that they want access to everything on their phone. Unlike them, I prefer a real screen with actually usable real estate and functionality. I can complete a transaction on my laptop in about 5s that takes a millennial 5 minutes on their device of choice.
HPFS didn't fail, it was merely a step towards HPFS386 (later towards JFS) which existed on OS/2 server edition. You have to recall the limitations of hardware at the time and what OS/2 would run on. Having a fully journaled FS on 386 hardware with IDE or worse, RLL connected drives would have been a death knell for performance. Note that HPFS386 addressed most of the issues related to HPFS (single user client OS). I don't recall any longer whether MS owned any rights to HPFS386, which was a significantly different beast than HPFS internally. I'd guess that at least the base FS probably still required some payment to MS.
With OS/2 shuttered, and better options out there (HPFS386, JFS, etc) HPFS in all its forms was obsolete by that time. A FS from the late 80s with no development had no place in the late 90s.
BTW, to compare HPFS to NTFS, you have to compare HPFS386, although HPFS itself tromped NTFS in numerous ways. You can start with the guaranteed to fragment NTFS attribute that, AFAIK, still exists today (it's a fundamental "feature" of the file system) which fragments the file system just by turning on the computer. A winner, that one, addressed by adding an automatic defragger to NTFS systems around 2005 or so, IIRC, after MS argued for years that NTFS did not fragment.
Which could be rephrased as "unless you're willing to search for jobs in the city where you want to live."
If you see home Internet as an essential utility, and the best home Internet offer in your city is as intolerable as the leaded water in Flint, Michigan, then your city is intolerable. If your city is intolerable, than any job available only in your city is likewise intolerable.
It's more like I lived in Seattle, and suddenly they decided to limit me to 8 glasses of water day. There's a slight difference there, you're still getting your essential utility and it is sufficient for life, but not what you're used to, want, nor what your neighbors 3 blocks over have, because they're in a different municipal service district.
Based on your comments here and elsewhere you seem like a rootless individual with no ties and no real like for where they're living now, and thus you see everything as black and white. There's lots of things that can hold others back, such as they're not the only one that gets consideration and perhaps there are more reasons than just internet connectivity to live somewhere. Sometimes it's cheaper to rent a 200 sq ft office space with high connectivity than move.
Oh, but we're talking about streaming users here getting capped (we'll ignore the rest of the high data usage folks for now, putting them in the illegal or unusual groups) That's a different problem that should be addressed by regulators. I regularly run TB of data through my home network. It costs me exactly zilch more than running the normal light load. (i.e., it doesn't cost them anymore to support 'x' data over 'y' data if they can support 'y' data. What does cost them more is when they sell 'y' data capacity and only have 'x' data capacity, then they need to invest in more infrastructure to support 'y' data, something almost none of them have done. AT&T is the poster child for this one with U-verse. Originally I could get 6 Mbps something like $100/month 10 years ago. As of 1 year ago, I couldn't get more than 1Mbps up at any price, including business connections, because, and I quote "We have no more slots available" meaning, I take it, that their distribution nodes were at capacity and they were, in effect, stealing channels from others to service new customers. It explains why my 3Mbps regular connections became 2Mbps and sometimes 1Mbps up over the past few years and why video conferencing went from great to problematic to broken. NOTE: AT&T hasn't advertised upload speeds for years in my area. I didn't notice the drop until the quality of various services I was using went downhill, at first sporadically, and then in a much more regular pattern.
I'm very much pro-science, and you'll note if you read other postings on this topic that I'm fine with using GMO techniques to express existing genes in a subject, but I'm against injecting exogenetic material or manmade genes into self-reproducing stock.
One thing I could seriously get behind that partially breaks the above is if there is a way to reverse the bloodsucking female mutation in those select 3 species of mosquitoes that are the current disease scourge of the world and revert them back to a species without said bloodsucking ability. However, that would also need to be carefully tested and verified that the mechanism used would not be self-replicating and mutating.
But you want fish-gene and chemically adaptive manmade corn today.
possibly far enough away they need to find a different job
If you work from home, you can take your job with you.
While more people work from home than ever, there is still a locale needed for most jobs and moving cities is not at will, unless you're willing to risk your job.
and new social circle?
New in-person social circle, same social media social circle.
Well, for some of us those are one and the same, because the second one really doesn't exist.
The netflix deal for disks is pretty much the best deal out there, with the least issues. If I wanted to make separate trips to the post office, I could easily get 12 or more per month given the PO's schedule, but 9-10 a month is fine. I don't waste time, the quality of the picture/sound can't be beat until 4K UHD discs become standard next month or so. That won't do me any good for a while though, so I'd rather stay with my current deal.
If that had started with the chorus, maybe. You need to start about 1.5 minutes in or so, get closer to the chorus so people know they've been Rickrolled... err, unicorned....
"you are not alone" - nothing more than more people are in your position, including myself. The joke was "not a snowflake", a passing reference to the snowflake millennials where everyone gets a trophy, no one fails, every one is special.... It was funnier in my head at the time I guess.
Never said I was. I'm going to assume you didn't mean to come across as condescending and just let you know that you did.
I pondered whether to attempt to make the joke, and apparently failed..
You should be secure enough to be able to do so in any relationship.
There's that condescension again.
Once tainted, preconception will drive perception. "You" wasn't specifically you, but the general you. I could have used "one" but was in a hurry, so didn't abstract out to that level. I apologize for the unintended slight.
Fortunately, my wife and i enjoy the same shows, pretty much across the board, and respect each other enough to not force each other to watch what we don't like, so we don't have that issue. My wife is not most women, though, and I am not most men, so I'm not speaking from personal experience, but simply relaying experiences shared with me by my other married friends.
You are not alone (not a snowflake;) People are different, and any couple will (hopefully) share likes but will also have some differences. Some things we'll watch together to have shared experiences because one or the other likes it a lot, some other things we do on our own. You should be secure enough to be able to do so in any relationship. For a truly healthy relationship, that extends beyond TV watching habits.
Apple Keychain, works well enough. No, I use no iCloud services. Yes, I tend to trust Apple in this regard, as so far there's been no indications that they actually want to see any of my data (unlike various other services, MS on multiple fronts, Google, Yahoo, etc)
3s isn't nearly long enough. I know that U-verse, for instance, doesn't kick in throttling your connection down to the "maximum" for about 5s, so if you have a largish file that can be squeezed into a 4s burst, your file gets transferred in 4s. Double the size, and it may take 30s. Yes, the differences are that dramatic.
I had two of the terrible 1.5TB Seagates fail early. Didn't even do a warranty exchange on them, wasn't worth having to do another one 3-6 months down the road, and then another, and another and... So I bought WD, Toshiba, HSGT, pretty much anything but Seagate. I still won't buy Seagate. Trust once lost is hard to earn back. Their drives just haven't been better than the brands I do trust, so no reason to go back to them.
Again, why is GMO treated so differently from our other attempts at making our lives better? You can't just stick your fingers in your ears and pretend GMO will go away. You say corporations are making the choice for us, but so far every regulatory attempt has been a thinly veiled stand by the ecologically deluded to block GMO at all costs rather than rational investigations of it's efficacy and safety. There needs to be a middle ground.
Kudzu(US) Cane Frogs (Australia) Sparrows(US) Rabbits (Australia) Burmese Pythons (Florida) Tiger Mosquito (30+ countries) and the list goes on. GMO isn't being treated any differently, in fact it isn't being treated harshly enough. It should be treated like a potential invasive species at the very least, because that's what it is, and possibly like a contagion like ebola or zika, but with greater potential for harm. I'd prefer a much more rigorous standard of acceptance for any GMO product, say on the order of marijuana with the FDA, with clear labeling required that something is GMO.
That's why upgrade projects exist, to upgrade. It's also why the telecoms were given billions to upgrade their networks by the government, instead we got the telecom fueled tech bubble. Take a look around, very few telecoms left, their profits have plummeted (the giveaways ended) But wow were times good in the 90s, and we got very little for the billions invested.
You know, I think it's fine to genetically determine your offspring, eye color, hair color, whether to go bald, gender, cancer susceptibility, dwarfism, giantism, polydactylism, etc. What, you don't think it's right? Why not? Why can't we create super vision, super hearing, super tasting, super strong genius offspring? (that likely will kill us all off)
The biggest issue with GMO is that it isn't an add, it's a modification that lasts forever, infecting everything like a rampaging virus in the worst case. You want to fiddle with existing genes in a plant to express certain features? Go right ahead, I'm with you all the way. You want to inject white nose virus DNA segments into corn because it will attack a certain mold? I'll have to disagree on that one.
In this case you have already made up your mind that the agro companies are evil and no amount of evidence will make you change your position.
I've made up my mind, agro companies want to make money over everything else. Generally it is easier to make money being evil. Good requires work and other people being good to create more wealth. .

Since they fart rainbows and poop gold, more likely you'd have the cleanest country ever.

the "you're special no matter what" message is a huge contributing factor.
But they are "special no matter what".... "here's the pig sty and shovel, especially for you" is what I'm always thinking when they get all whiney. ;)

I also have the GA opt-out cookie set, just in case it slips through anyway.
I'm sure that won't be tracked!
