I'm aware of the point you were trying to make; it was what spawned my comment, because it is wrong. Adding words to it makes me agree less, not more. You're basically saying anybody who lobbies for not persecuting someone based on allegations must be sympathetic to the allegations, in every case, and you cite going through Twitter as if you're compiling oppo to make your point. If you don't see the danger in that line of thought, or how it makes you complicit in mob-style behavior when the incentives line up, I'm not sure how best to show you.

Ad hominem being acceptable on a few pet issues is a value system I've noticed that many people, including you, have. I would ask why. I've had this turned on me, too, hence why I'm not surprised; I'm reminded of defense lawyers who receive death threats and actual violence, as well.
PIOPS?
Even with USB it's going to take many days to back up 17TB.
Here's a platform that aims to solve this problem:

https://www.projectcallisto.org/

Victims report incidents, an their info is not shared at the time of report. Victims can elect to have their reports unsealed if subsequent accusations are made against the same individual. This mirrors the current status quo, where it's less common for victims to speak out if there are no other cases to corroborate, but makes discovery of other cases more feasible.

It's being rolled out specifically in the context of college sexual assault, but I imagine the approach could work elsewhere too.

Yev from Backblaze here -> Cloud Storage services are better suited for that much data. I wrote a post recently where I went in to the differences between Sync, Backup, and Storage as it relates to the cloud -> https://www.backblaze.com/blog/sync-vs-backup-vs-storage/.

I'm not sure what happened in this user's case - but my guess is that something happened on their machine where our backup client decided that data on the machine didn't match with what is in the DC and restarted backing up the data so that we'd have a clean copy, resulting in 13TB of data getting re-scheduled for backup.
If you really want to see some Windows source code. You can just ask them - and they will send it to you. It's not open source and there are limits to what you can do with it.

They call it their Shared Source Initiative. They want a reason for sharing it with you but I have used, 'I am just curious.' With that excuse, this was a long time ago when I still used Windows, I got the specific code I wanted for Outlook Express.
hey, author here

Thanks for the feedback.

"Something's not working properly here" - I disagree. The model will overtrain (i.e. perfectly reconstruct the original waveforms of a small training set), which indicates it's capable of learning the necessary transformation. The problem lies in the limited amount of training time I had. To reiterate from an earlier comment, I trained on only 10 epochs, while the paper this is base on claimed to train on 400. Much more training is required for this model to generalize well without degrading the signal-to-noise ratio.
Well according to another post[0] "Breaking bad in 4k is 1.7Tb" or "star wars 200gb for first 6 movies. thats just 1080p". So I can imagine that much data being saved. Also, the subreddit is called datahoarder, so I imagine gathering bytes is important and "easy".

Given the other article I read today about US companies bowing to Russian requirements to review source code, I wonder if MS has also already given away code that can be studied for security gaps.

Google's backbone is a little bit different. Google Cloud shares this backbone with Youtube, Maps, and the rest. Not only are there DC-to-DC cables, our backbone extends to a vast number of Edge POPS (more than AWS and Azure combined), detailed at [0]. Our DC-to-DC network is pretty great too, allowing things like Spanner to exist (minimizing P in CAP etc) at [1].

Here's what it means for you in practice:

- Google's Load Balancer supports a single global anycast endpoint.

- When your packet tries to hit Google network, it hits the nearest POP, which acts as an on-ramp to the network and traverses only Google network, not touching public.

- Similarly, when data is en route to a customer, Google network will take it all the way to the nearest DC or POP on its private backbone.

- Google by default gives you a global software-defined VPC. No need to create VPN tunnels between zones/regions/etc.

> If they did, I would hope people around them recognized that their conflation of neurotoxins in water and largely benign electronics makes very little sense.

Right now we consider these electronics, and their emissions, largely benign but that doesn't mean that's actually the case in the long term.

Think about the amount of wireless stuff constantly going on around you: GSM, EDGE, UMTS, LTE, bluetooth, several WLAN standards, radio, satellite and so on. Humanity has never been blasted with that much EM radiation before and the blast is constant and pretty much ever-present.
I find it hard to believe that all those EMR don't have any effects at all on living things. Sure, we get doses of it anyway from space and the sun and so on, but that doesn't mean that adding our own won't make the doses cross a threshold.

Wouldn't be the first time humanity underestimated the long-term effect of something just to realize, a couple of decades down the line, "Oopps.. wasn't as healthy as we thought".

I was working on a startup and we were out of money. I applied for and found another job and let the founder know. On the Sunday before I was to start at the new place, we secured another round of funding, so the first thing I did on Monday was report to my new job and the second thing I did was resign from that job.

New boss was pissed, but it was the right call for me (and I couldn't have done it any earlier).

In your case, I'd give careful thought to the visa issue; I wouldn't sweat it on behalf of the major tech company at all. They've no doubt had worse behavior from candidates and they'll survive the loss. You probably won't be blackballed at that company, but do expect a question about it if you do decide to apply later.
Whispered Warnings of Radiohead’s “OK Computer” Have Come True
Made legal in ES2017.
So much facepalm here. A Backblaze rep is in that thread confirming that they do have a failure case where they can lose backup data -- or at least, it'll become inconsistent. Ok, that's bad. I don't think they're idiots, but it'd be interesting to know what's so technically challenging about the index problem that they haven't been able to solve it.

But ... 17 TB total? For online backups? That's just not what they're designed for, unless you've got one hell of an internet connection. The complainant says it's going to take over a year to re-upload the 13TB. That's insane.

I think you have to give up on online backups for that use case and settle for a pretty beefy home rig in a fire-resistant box. Moving that kind of data up and down an internet connection just doesn't work real well yet.
I don't know, nor do I need to. That's the point.

Serious accusations need to be tried in a manner that involves evidence, sworn testimony, counsel, etc., precisely because of their seriousness.

In the meantime, online conjecture by parties with no standing should probably presume innocence until guilt is found, because a mob mentality should be beneath us.

I know someone who was falsely accused of something serious–decades in prison type stuff–and the news coverage alone destroyed his business and put his family through hell.

Anyone who's opposed to capital punishment because it prevents the accused from ever finding justice should also be concerned about the effects the court of public opinion can have on someone's life, and err on the side of withholding judgement when, again, there's no reason for us to judge this person unless we have direct dealings with the individual and need to make our own estimations out of self-interest.

What's happening in this thread isn't about self-interest, it's about self-satisfaction. That's neither useful nor wise.
What is the source of your data? According to the world bank and the OECD, from 1986 to now the income share held by the top 10% has been in a range from 27 - 31%.

http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.10TH.10?locations...
http://www.oecd.org/els/soc/growingunequalincomedistribution...

>...Further, the top marginal tax rate has little to do with the top 10% of all incomes.

As I have tried to explain in the previous comment, the top marginal rate means very little.

>...Yes, in theory they where a bad idea. However, in practice they seem to have been a net benefit.

In reality, they were a bad idea. It should be a hint that you don't see mainstream economists suggesting we return to them. Politicians find them a good talking point since everyone likes the idea of someone else paying more taxes, but you don't see economists suggesting it.

>...Either though reducing the rent seeking behavior of capital, or alternatively because the middle class's spending is mass producible. (You can scale iPhones, you can't scale 50,000+$ watches because they are not intended to be scaled.)

How exactly does a confiscatory rate reduce the rent seeking behavior of capital - that seems like a different issue. In reality, high rates encourage money to be spent in non-productive ways to influence congress to carve out special tax deductions/credits. Enough loopholes were in the old tax code that some politically well connected wealthy people sometimes paid no taxes - this is why the AMT was created.

Backblaze and Crashplan both have (or had) a thing where they'd mail you a large hard drive to load your data on for a deposit of a few hundred dollars. Although at 13 TB I guess you'd still need to prioritize what you really wanted backed up straight away.

And as I recall, BB charges something like $5/mo for unlimited backups. The fact that they won't refund him is both dumb on their part (because really, what is $5) and pointless to mention on his part (because really, how is $5 going to compensate him?)

I've had ringing as long as i can remember. My mother's description, she has it too, when a doctor told her it wasn't normal always stuck with me 'oh i just liked hearing the pretty music'

Thankfully that's what it's always been to me. The ringing is the meaning of silence and the notes are not at odds with each other.

When I realised that other people didn't hear the ringing when it was silent, I was a fair bit shocked.
It's a stark contrast from the protect-the-company-from-any-possible-contingency style most employment agreements are drafted in. Lawyers of the caliber Uber can afford don't make this sort of change accidentally.
Seems like smoke and mirrors. Classic lawyer speak as both sides say it bolsters their case. Mildly interesting tidbit but clearly not the big hunk of red meat either side is waiting for. Excited for the October trial.
Plenty of backup solutions — just nothing very cheap. 17 TB
is a lot. Then again, this was posted on a forum for self-identified Data Hoarders.
My first year of music school, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the research of Dr. Marshall Chasin - an audiologist in Toronto.

His research on hearing loss, in particular hearing loss of musicians, deserves wide exposure for anyone considering making a career out of using their ears.

From one of his publications I use the following as a rule of thumb:

80db * 40hrs/week = permanent hearing damage

83db * 20hrs/week = permanent hearing damage

86db * 10hrs/week = permanent hearing damage

91db * 5hrs/week = permanent hearing damage

94db * 2.5hrs/week = permanent hearing damage

When you say ads don't make much money, are you talking about from business users? 2Q 2016 $19 billion of Alphabet's $21 billion in revenue came from ads, so that seems like a strange statement.
BB handles many PBs of data. Actually I think it's ZBs.

However, I'm not sure how many of their clients have single drives with 17TB of data. Perhaps this is an edge case that they didn't adequately test for.

And since a vast majority of their customers will not have more than 3TB on any single drive, I can see why this might not be well tested.
I could have sworn AWS prices cross-zone used to be higher maybe this changed recently. Or... I was just wrong. :-)

>>> It took 8 months or so for my initial backup and will definitely take over a year with the added data now [upload 13 TB again] so I just cancelled and they gave me a refund for the last payment.

>>> So, all in all just a waste of time and money.

Dude wanted to backup 18 TB of backup on a home connection until he realized it's not going well.

Messaged the customer support to complain => he got a timely reply, then decided to leave the service and got a refund.

That looks like good service to me.

P.S. I feel sorry for companies who have to deal with that kind of customers.
Yev from Backblaze here -> we have customer for Backblaze Online Backup with over 40TB of data, and customers with 100s of TBs if not Petabytes on B2 Cloud Storage, so we can certainly handle it.

Not sure what happened in this particular case as I'm not familiar with it, but I'd venture to guess that something occurred on the computer that caused the client to think it needed to re-upload those 13TB of data, so it scheduled them for re-upload.

Because Uber drivers are marginalised people who don't understand employment law and figure if they politicians haven't stepping in it must be legal.
For a backup service, you seem strangely unconcerned about what went on here.
Seed drive service. ~20 hours to copy 10T of local data to a few drives, few days to ship, ~20 hours to copy the data to the cloud. But I guess some people think that cost is greater than 8 months of uploading? Whatever...not my data.
You should have started the backup process well before you hit 17gb of data.
Let's just be real. It's assholes like this that take advantage of the buffet line, thereby costing all of the rest of us. And then they complain when they can't go back for the 45th plate of food.

People like this are why Amazon's unlimited cloud storage just became limited. The people out there abusing the spirit of the offer know who they are. The finance world is FULL of those people, and it's a good part of why the economic world is really fucked up.

Be a team player. Be thoughtful of your peers and neighbors. We'll all end up better off, even you. /rant
Yev from Backblaze here -> we did offer them a refund when they cancelled their account. In general we have a pretty generous refund policy for our yearly and bi-yearly plans, but giving refunds for the $5-rate, is a bit cumbersome.

Using an undefined value leads to undefined behavior under the C spec. This "undefined behavior" could be a visible side effect (in the helpful case, a diagnostic on stderr like when you're using valgrind on your program; in the unhelpful case literal demons flying out of your nose) and it need not be the same on each use of the undefined value either.
This is the way I would go took, although with two NAS boxes. One local and a similarly sized one off site. Then you backup to the local one and you sync the state to the remote one.

Lose data locally, restore from local NAS

Lose data on local NAS, restore from remote NAS

Sanitization does not refer to escaping HTML entities before rendering to avoid cross site scripting. That is just escaping of entities done when rendering templates.

I believe by sanitization most people mean processing content which will be rendered and not escaped, a good example is content from WYSIWYG editors. And this is where sanitization libraries would come into play.

You would sanitize HTML fragments before storing them in database because you don't escape them during rendering. Text content is not sanitized before saving to database as you can just escape it when rendering.

That's not as egregious as groping (one of the accusations in this article), but that's still sexual harassment by the letter of the law and slimy as hell every other way.

While I don't know the details of what happened here, there's nothing wrong or illegal about approaching someone and I'm more than a little miffed that anyone would consider it necessary (or good) to make "unwelcome advances" illegal. Yes, even unwelcome advances to married women.

Often times, when I look at some software's promo webpage (e.g. Sketch 3 does this), I'll see they have a list of "companies using us" or something similar.

If I were to do this for my own product, and I worked for, say, Facebook, and I say I'm a user of my own product, would I be allowed to put Facebook's logo there? Or do these products displaying these companies' logos receive permission? Trying to be careful here because I'm not sure if this counts as endorsement.

Coincidentally I just ripped my Blu-ray collection. 82 films, 542GB (x264 with a high profile encode). 17TB for me would mean close to 3000 films.
If you want to store data as cheap as possible online, you are looking at 4 EUR / TB / month of capacity. https://www.reddit.com/r/seedboxes/comments/6d1h34/oneprovid...

To lower that with a significant up front cost, you could buy the drives yourself, perhaps shucking external ones and then
send them over to Vapornode https://vapornode.com/storage-vps so they can host it at 10 USD a month per disk. If you have a Fry's close by, they have 8TB units for 200, recently Best Buy had them for 180 but I think that ended. So that's 200 + 10 / month vs 4.5 * 8 = 36 USD / month, you are saving 26 USD a month, it takes eight months for this to be cheaper. I would say it's not worth it because replacing dead disks are on you but it's up to you. Also getting many smaller disks make for better RAID.

Finally, lowendtalk regularly has discussions on bring your own disk providers. You need to know what you are buying but it's doable.
By "bare bones" system do you mean 64kb? The original Mac had a 68k and only 128kb of RAM. I guess we are talking about the late 70s here though. The Commodore 64 didn't come out until 82 and it got along just fine with 64kb.

IIRC the 68k was an expensive chip period. It was the chip you used if you had money to burn.
I believe the implication is that it is not everything, but that it is still something. They aren't saying that money is nothing, just that it is not the only thing.
