The thing is that males are expected to 'take it', even 'like it' or expected to respond positively to it. Sexual harassment against males happens more often than you think, males simply don't perceive it as such or given their biological proclivities, like the attention.
I move within circles that have heightened my sensitivity towards the subject so I recognize it and I often get comments from females such as cashiers, servers and other complete strangers that when their male counterparts would say something similar, they would've gotten dirty looks, reprimanded or fired before they even finished their comment. Most males these days (unless drunk) will reign themselves in or won't say anything (although comments amongst males are still common).
He's got the winning lottery ticket, there was a malfunction with the camera's. So far I haven't seen any 'evidence' that that person actually did it. He might have been in cahoots with his co-workers. Splitting the ticket 2-5-ways is still pretty lucrative.
If he did it, he was pretty dumb to think he could get away with it. He should've 1. Remained anonymous (if possible, some lotteries allow it, some don't), let his lawyer pick up the money 2. Gone for a lot lower number (winning low enough so you can get a cash payout at the shop (~$600/week is still a nice bonus)) 3. Allowed enough time for the evidence to be destroyed (video camera's probably overwrite old stuff every n months) then played and collected. If you implement your own RNG, you could easily predict numbers in advance.
A good backup strategy involves reading the tapes back on a fairly frequent basis to make sure your tapes are still readable. Regardless of it's reliability, tapes do drop bits at a similar rate to hard drives at rest. You're very lucky that you have read 100% of the DAT tape without any issue (or maybe you didn't notice it, bit errors are hard to notice until you need that particular bit). Also, most companies really don't care about their data from 10 years ago (and if they do it's because they want it GONE in case of discovery).
Back then, tape WAS the cheaper option. Today, hard drive storage is on par as far as investment cost. Most tape strategies involve a large(r) tape robot and multiple heads which is where the expense comes in (also energy costs). With hard drives that is less of an issue and hard drives can also be spun down. Hard drives are also better at random access which is generally what you'll need when restoring day-to-day backups. Massive failures are usually not the problem, backup restoration usually boils down to that user wanting to get a version of that Word document from a year ago but they forgot what it was called back then. Reading through a tape for that kind of stuff is SLOW to the point of being infeasible.
Tape backup is still a good solution but it's being outgrown because hard drives are faster and for most people what it can provide is 'good enough'. Tape is great if you have so much data that you need it because of the density (a rack can hold 100's of PB worth of tape but only ~5PB worth of hard drives).
You can also ship tape a lot easier than a hard drive. No need for shock sensors. Latency may be bad but a box of tapes can give you more bandwidth/s than even the fastest Internet connection.
They are actually cheaper per TB if you need to consume at least a 4U tape robot worth of tape (20-30k, several PB). Otherwise disk storage is the way to go. Most enterprises don't need tape though, they have it grandfathered in from 'mainframe' systems and 90's Sun systems and a 'we don't know any better' mentality.
They have 1PB worth of disk cache in front of their tape storage... so yeah, quite a bit of PB. Tape isn't dead, but it's not worth it for small quantities (100TB) and many companies don't even have 100TB worth of centralized storage. Most companies can get away with storing stuff on the 'cloud' which is very expensive per GB/TB compared to either local or colocated disk storage or tape.
I wonder how Woz feels about this kind of development. He has a/. account so if you read this: did you ever think there would be computers powerful enough and people interested enough to implement your brainchild on a credit card sized machine with different architecture within your lifetime. What do you think of the arduino movement in comparison with the DIY computer movement from our time?
You'd expect a lot more waste given that they receive more money than any beneficial social program (health care, space exploration, scientific research) in the USA. Bad projects are part of any business. The waste on programs that haven't been mothballed yet but continue trudging on well beyond their original budgets and timelines are much worse.
They've done it with nurses, teachers, truckers and pretty much any other profession. There is no shortage of workers in any field, there is a shortage of people willing to pay and/or train these people. I work with these kids on a frequent basis, I wouldn't want to hire them, they are morons that need at least two years of real world training.
How many times have you ran into a porn star? I've only met porn stars that I haven't seen yet and that's only because I frequently operate within the field of "adult entertainment". Revenge porn is really about the Streisand effect, most people really don't know their neighbor was on that site.
I am old enough to have worked with.NET pre-releases. Back then most viewed C#/.NET as a cheap and broken Java clone. It took.NET several years to become mature enough to be useful.
The entire region really wants that country gone. It's one of the last powerful imperialistic colonies in the world. Not that turning it into a glass sheet will be helpful but Iran simply doesn't have that power, 1 nuclear weapon would be barely enough to level a city, not a country. They'd need to be on the level of India/US to achieve that.
The religious aspects in that region also utilize a lot of hyperbole in order to keep the populace pacified. The ones in charge (typically elected in vs theocratic selection) are more level headed and will most likely not submit to the outlandish requests. This would be similar to the rest of the world pointing towards Rick Perry/Boehner/Pelosi and saying that they are the ones they should be worried about when negotiating a deal.
Depending on the quality of you show, your options could range widely from Vimeo/Twitch to iTunes/Amazon. Since your streams may be considered 'illegal' in some parts of the world, I recommend doing it yourself on a video streaming hosting, making available over BitTorrent and a darknet advertising the alternative options through your regular channels just in case you have to deal with a takedown.
IOPS in raid controllers are awful. I have an external entry level eonstor appliance that tops out at ~10,000IOPS with 2gb cache. Same goes for areca. The only way of getting good performance out of SSD arrays is by doing clean access and letting the CPU handle it.
You're also using 5 (2 per U) drive slots vs 1 (10 per U). And assume that your raid controller can push to the drives at pcie speed. Raid controllers aren't that fast, even from expensive manufacturers chips push the boundaries at 6Gbps and ~100,000 IOPS for the entire array.
Most businesses wouldn't have any major issue spending that little extra money; if they did, they wouldn't if they were slightly more efficient or if the CxO's got a few million dollars less.
Eg. Coca-Cola has 130k employees. Increasing their employee base by 50% (I assume an average cost of $100k/employee) would cost $6.5B/y or barely 15% of their yearly revenue.
You can make the same calculations for a number of companies, unless the company is severely mismanaged or inefficient (in which case it should fail anyway) you'll find that it is VERY affordable if only their CxO's would give up a few million of bonus or the shareholders wouldn't mind to throw in a penny.
Get two jobs. IF one really works 80 hours/week, then I hope they're not salaried but get paid 1.5-2.5x for any time over 40, the facts however are that most people working 80h/week only get paid to do "~40".
Backups can be cheap/free. With some imagination and extra work I ran a design department without any dedicated server or backup hardware (a large company where requisitioning a server needed board approval which only met once every 6 months - they failed shortly after I left).
The entire 'cloud' hype has shown us that you can run storage over hundreds of nodes with a large number of them that could suddenly fail. Desktops all have at least 50GB-1TB of free space and could thus act as a simple storage node.
The problem IS clueless IT people. These people that come out of school and have programmer jobs or IT administrative duties but couldn't code their way out of a box with LOGO.
Why do you need to replace the computers? Wipe them and reinstall them. They do have backups of their important data on non-Windows-systems don't they?
Reason #2 why you don't have your backup systems connected into Craptive Directory (#1 being that if your directory needs to be restored, you should be able to login to your backup system).
IMHO everyone should have that amount of time off. People working 40+h/w for 50+w/y is just ridiculous. Give everybody 2m/y off and work 30h/w, then we will have less unemployment and more efficient businesses.
Who has a 7 word phrase password (that's ~56 characters of random words that do not make sense). Most password systems won't even accept that and mistype one character and you have to start over again. As comparison 56 characters is the length of this string. The moment you start making sense between words, it gets even easier to crack.
The problem sits in the dictionary attacks. There have been crackers out there on GPU for years that combine wordlists and partial words to guess passwords. Few crackers (if you have a large amount of hashes to crack) will still guess all combinations from a to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. They'll take existing dictionaries, recombine them in 1->n words where combined words 16 characters, even substitute leetspeak characters. If your password 8 characters you're pretty much screwed already, 12-16 characters is still acceptable if the words aren't too common, 24 is the new gold standard.
You're doing it wrong! Unless you don't care about data loss and calculated out that replacing the EVO's every few months is actually a cheaper option compared to a decent SLC (Intel, STEC,...) or even RAM SSD over the lifetime of your server, then I would recommend re-examining your setup. SLC's are not only faster, but they're a heck more reliable. If you just care about speed on a single box, get a PCIe based SSD. Desktop drives for this kind of setup is asking for trouble.
I still have a set of 32GB SLC (Intel X-25-E) from 2009 which have digested several PB worth of data in their lifetime as well as a number of OCZ Deneva's with the same workload. Probably the best investment possible.
Women in any industry have long complained about an uneven playing field — lower pay for equal work, being passed over for promotions and a hostile 'brogrammar^H^H^H^H^H^H^H' culture
