Re: Small point
Ignorance is the opportunity for teaching and learning. I'm ignorant of many things, not because I'm unwilling, but there are only 20 or so usable hours in a day, 9 are spent twiddling bits, 3-4 caring for\enjoying family and by that time I doubt my brain is ready for input
I had no freakin' idea what an 'influencer' was until now. Wish I didn't, the damage is done.

Re: Nice write up! Excellent fact checking!
We had people calling us saying that ourdomain.com and .net etc were available and someone wanted to buy them, and we needed to act FAST to protect our ourdomain.other and buy these ASAP, call before midnight tonight! Deal expires today!
Haar, je keneet scam me, I've had 5 calls this week from M$ support alerting me to problems with my system, fun times! I'm not buying lots of look-a-like domain names. If anything, I've got parts of a bridge in Russia you might be interested in...

Raisup? Letdown in 3 2 1
A start up two man band with Fortune 500 clients? I guess that explains why the backups resided in the same datacenter as the production systems. They were busy grubbing the money, instead of making sure they had the basics covered. I hope this episode gives them a clue as to the "1" in 3 2 1.
I do wonder what backups can do for AI, how would that process even work?

And he's saying his failed PHD led to his other HD failures? If I were the judge, I'd make him submit to a full medical battery (strip naked and get on the probulator) to determine if there may be a lifestyle related issue. Don't most PHD candidates sit on their ass all day? I dislike the courts as much as the next guy, but in this case, due diligence is required.

Honey, we're out of
butter and sugar and privacy and cheese. Can you get some on the way home? Seems they would be wasting resources even monitoring my inane chats with the missus. I know storage is cheap, but Shirley, there has to be a better use for it.
Paris because butter is first on the list.

If servers go down but no one hears them, did they really fail? Think about it over lunch
Monday 27th May 2019 08:56 GMT
Re: A bit (less) noisy now...
Color me sensitive. I'd notice if a few units were spinning down.
I could hear that one unit was just slightly overworked, when my office was next to the server room...
However, if the lunch truck was passing by, I can see where some people might get distracted ;-}

Automobiles
I read recently that there are thousands and thousands of brand new vehicles that do not get sold. They just get parked in some lot in a desert somewhere... Maybe we need to change how and 'when' we manufacture things? Want a new car, great, go to the dealership, and place an order. Your new vehicle will be produced as needed, you can take delivery in 4 weeks...
In the end, the human race will drown in a sea of plastic packaging.
Never let something so flimsy as a locked door to the computer room stand in the way of an auditor on the warpath

The new code for "Back Door"
I wonder what the auditors would have said if the security guards were like pub\bar bouncers, and enjoyed knocking their heads together for trying to break in? Would they have said "Good on ya guys, you stopped us!" I think not...
