Yes, PLEASE. We run a wedding photography business, and our numbers are something like this:

- 40-60gigs shot in a weekend, need to offsite the RAWs as soon as possible. In six or seven years we've never needed offsite retrieval. Fine for it to be slow.

- Only need around 100-200g of raws locally for jobs in progress

- Once processed into final jpgs files are approx 8-10x smaller. Offsite these as well, and need access to last 1-2 yrs of jpgs randomly/sparsely w/in 1-2 days of a print order coming in

I definitely think some well thought out service that uses maybe a hybrid of glacier and S3 could be really awesome. Especially if the pain is taken out of getting the bolus 40-50g of photos "uploaded" in the first place.. We'd happily pay for a service that just sends us an external drive and a postage-paid box.. we drop it in the mail after a job and get another drive sent to us right away.

[EDIT: Occurs to me you might wonder what this looks like today. Today we get home, and immediately back up onto an 8-bay Drobo Pro (http://bit.ly/1diZUHD). It's a fancy proprietary RAID-like system. I think ours has 7 1TB Drives in it currently, and it's at about 70% capacity. Then we back up the same jobs to an external hard drive which gets driven offsite (used to be my office, but now that I work at home it's the in-laws place) and copied to a hard drive for permanent offsite storage. Once that happens, the cards from the camera can be cleared. After processing, the final JPGs get copied to the drobo and make it into the sneakernet offsite process as well.]
I agree. It's the real names requirement that put me off G+. I like having different personalities for my different online identities.

"You’ve reached your limit of 10 complimentary articles this month"

Oh, the irony
Yes I can. Think of how much more effective executing them would be.
The judge was absolutely correct to rule this way. Some people cry "miscarriage of justice", but you need to look back on what happened when the iPad and iBooks came out.

Amazon ruled the ereader/ebook marketplace, because it was the first company to offer both a reader and electronic books together, so you could order books right of the reader. A page from Apple's playbook, a la the iPod.

At the time, ebooks were sold like print books, where the retailer set the price. This is how most retail works, and let Amazon drastically discount their ebooks so they weren't taking any profit, just to move Kindles. The publisher had no say over the price of the book, so a Kindle owner could get ebooks cheaper than print (which, if you think about it, makes perfect sense). The publisher didn't make any less, so the only one paying the price was Amazon (and they took a hit on their stock for it, if I recall). The publishers were forced into this model by Amazon because there was no other resource for ebooks, and everybody loved their Kindles so to deny that market meant your competition would kill you if you didn't play along.

Apple came along with the iPad and that gave publishers an out. If you go back to that time and read the articles on this, Apple actively worked with publishers to change the model to one that was better for publishers and Apple, but worse for consumers. They created a new kind of contract that let the publisher set the price of the ebook, which is really unheard of in retail, except for maybe video game sales. At its heart, it's really an anti-competitive practice, though that may seem counterintuitive. Look at it this way: it's a great way to break into a marketplace controlled by a stronger competitor without really competing. You force your competitor to raise their prices and thus reduce the attractiveness of what they offer, and suddenly you have a share in the market without having to compete with better products or prices.

I also don't understand pro-Apple stance on this issue. I'm a huge fan of Apple products, but I was not a fan of this change in the ebook market. My guess is this opposition is coming from people that don't buy a lot of ebooks on either the iBook store or Amazon, or ever experienced the Kindle store prior to this change in the market. It used to be that ebooks on Amazon were priced around or less than the price of a paperback. Now they tend to cost the same or more than the hardbound edition. How is this a good thing for consumers? You now have publishers in control of the ebook market the same way they're in control of the video game market, through price fixing and predatory pricing models, and retailers have no say in the matter.

I don't know what "ghetto-fabulousness" means but NeoCities is not a revolt against good web design, and it's not a ghetto. I like beautiful web sites. I love the new site design. I think most people will appreciate the new site. I have metrics, so if they don't, I'll know pretty quickly and make the appropriate adjustments. Thank you for your concern though.
They sort of did - they had a "request check-in" function. It never worked very well.

They also had an accelerated and supposedly more accurate tracking option on demand (i.e. I could request my wife's location to be updated "in real time"). That never worked very well and was removed.

I'm in a similar situation as the OP...an amateur but avid photographer with terabytes of RAW image files.

Currently, I have several multi-terabyte drives that I erratically back up to...I just got a 4TB drive that I'm going to try to backup everything I've ever shot in the last 3 years...

But I do want to move it to online storage...and I think this requires triage. For nearly every photoset, I've quickly gone through them with Lightroom and starred the ones that I kind of like, and then for maybe 1% of them, have taken the time to fully process, label, and upload them (in JPG form) to Flickr.

So for online storage, I think what I'll do is write a batch script that dumps all the unstarred RAW files as JPGs, because they chances that I'll ever need these photos in RAW is very slim, and then upload them. For photos that I've given at least one star and/or taken the time to properly edit and categorize, I'll send up the RAW file along with the processed JPG.

If I have about 3TB of RAW files...and maybe 10% of those are RAW images that weren't disposable...that's 300GB right there. And then the remaining RAW "keep em just in case" files would end up being compressed from 24MB to about 2-3 MB (let's say 15% as an average)...so 400GB.

700GB is still quite a big footprint. However, the biggest problem will be...let's say I give up local storage all together and rely on the cloud...what's the best way to browse any photoset at any arbitrary time? When it's all local, it's trivial to pop open Lightroom and do some quick browsing and filtering. For online storage, I'll have to put a ton of work into proper folder-naming, at the very least
I'd agree. Maybe 75% of the resumes I get are, as you colorfully say, punching above the weight class. I've continued to encourage job seekers (whether or not they are using my recruiting service) to apply to less jobs and spend more time on those fewer applications. I devoted at least a handful of pages in my book on this exact topic, to at least create the image of a passive job seeker even during active searches.

I heard the employment rate for young black high-school dropouts is something like 5%. I doubt the employment rate for white high-school dropouts is fantastic, either. So it seems we don't need that many people to flip burgers, mow lawns, make firecrackers, clean toilets, etc. Or that a high-school dropout isn't even qualified to do those jobs.

And we don't need more crime.
Whoever is buying the tabs could have just listened. And learned the song and played it as often as they want. So my business model is already based on preference, not copyright control. I'm already competing with free. So the answer to your question is a clear 'no'.
This is general problem with any organization made from humans. Hierarchies don't make them go away, they just make them manageable and less distracting.

Believe me, if you could compare similar sized organization with same people working with and without hierarchies, you would pick one with hierarchy 8 times of 10.

Agreed. I'll try to get to this ASAP.

Or it moves to a decentralized or anonymized system. Subtitles are small enough that distributing them over a system such as Tor is quite feasible.

Then have people use public Tor-relays (sites that let you use abcbla.onion.whateverrelay.net to access Tor with a normal web browser) to access it. Shutting down a proxy that has nothing to do with the content should be far more difficult.
As companies close the gates on the free web, can you rely on an API?
1) Nonsense, you raise your rate as you prove yourself, as someone who bills at $185+ -- clients aren't idiots. They understand that if you can do it in 1/5th the time and cost 3x the money, they are still saving money. Clients can do basic math. The only time you need to worry is if you can't prove your skill (bad references or new to market).

2) No professional ever uses the phrase "hourly" -- it is always T&M (Time and Materials). Most professionals with enough experience work in 'standard days' or 'standard weeks' on longer contracts. Last contract I did was billed at 7700 a week, no hourly accounting.

... some of what you mention (variable bill adaptation) is tricky as hell, and on FFP (Firm Fixed Price) contacts, it can be outright illegal without clients signatures at every change point. This is a reason home renovators always have change request forms with them.

~ Beyond all that, FFP puts you at odds with your client, you want to fuck them by charging as much as you can and working as little as you can -- they want to bleed you for as many hours as they can while keeping you bound to the initial contract. Nothing like starting a contract as sworn enemies.
So, no arms were actually twisted. There was no iBooks marked when the emails were sent and the publishers could've said no.
A service would be great ... but you might be able to "roll-your-own" with some basic scripts to handle the conversion (down-sizing) and backup sync - and something like Koken to handle the sharing with friends & family.

http://koken.me/

For back-ups - just buy a huge disk or set of disks, and keep 'em off-site wherever you have a trustable location (friend, family, work - if allowed and bandwidth isn't an issue) and use CrashPlan's free software to sync a copy to the secondary location. It's free after the initial expense of the drives and gives you encrypted, but physical access to the content in case of an emergency. You could find a friend with the same problem, and just agree to dedicate a certain amount of disk-space to each-other for this purpose.
Bypassing DRM is only illegal in some countries so if DeCSS is legal or not depends on where you are. But you are right even legal bypassing of DRM is not Hollywood approved.
Your last few sentences are exactly why I wrote this post. I want everything stored in the cloud but ALSO have a decent way of browsing them locally. The idea is to just store tiny jpegs (you can set how big they are, but something like 500-1000px wide likely, just for you to get a sense of which photo this is and allow you to remotely delete, retreive, etc)

I think this short-changes the "10X". Many high-functioning people have already figured out how to carve out a better deal from employers. They are supposed to be smart, right? The employee who becomes a consultant for their former employer (no accounts-chasing needed) is so common it's a cliche.
So, if you're under oath, you're not allowed to lie.
And if you're read into an SCI program that controls the disclosure of the existence of such access, you're most definitely not allowed to say anything about it (or, in many cases, even acknowledge that such a thing exists).

There is no way someone would risk perjuring themselves OR disclosing classified information under oath.
Four apps that would make Google Glass truly useful
paulkoer, what I did to become better was not to study techniques. I've actually did two specific things...

1) On the job full stack developing (by force). I had no choice really. All the other developers left leaving me as the loan developer. At that time I thought of ...
a) Leaving the organization myself -
Since my skill level wasn't that great (Only thing I knew was how to build web pages with Microsoft's VS tools) I would've became a junior developer somewhere else. Or worse, went back to help desk. I easily passed on that idea.

b) Learning all there is about the current environment that I'm developing on at work. This was tough especially since I was the only developer and working as a help desk tech. To do so I had to go through a lot of sleepless nights and hair pulling to deliver the product. I also showed up on the weekend at my office to finish up projects even though I didn't get paid for that work. I also had to really pinpoint the things I was afraid of (e.g. taking on tough tasks, JavaScript, asp.net 4.0, setting up databases, deploying systems in different environments, documentation, reading other people's code, reading/using open source software, etc.). It sounds silly to me now, but before that decision I really didn't want to deal with the pain of learning that stuff (and was glad to let the senior guys deal with).

2) Work on projects of my own outside the work. I started working on my site (artJutsu.com which is just a prototype of an idea right now) around the time the developers at work were leaving the organization. I wanted to get better, but I hate just reading tutorial after tutorial. The best way for me to learn something is to create something, get stuck, and then overcome it. The whole "Scratch your own itch".

This ended up not only helping me skill wise, but helping the organization that I work with. I'm able to develop software very quickly and (most importantly) correctly. Not only that but with these new skills, I am able to correct a lot of outstanding problems as well as build applications much more robustly. Its amazing what I've learned in the past 2 years just by surrounding myself in this field.

I've always wanted to start a business, and you don't do that just by thinking about it. You have to "put your nose to the grindstone". Now you don't have to go all out like I did. I would suggest to do #2 on my list. Think of a project (or join mines lol) and get yourself into some trouble with it (and you will :D). Think through it, and overcome. Trust me you're a lot smarter than you think, but it does take some work. Some "blood, sweat, and tears".

The good thing to know is that you are not alone. There are other people out there going through the same thing. The ones who are good and efficient are usually willing to help. All you have to do is ask.

(sorry for the long post)
I think Filosync (www.filosync.com, currently in beta, I'm the founder) would work for this. You could have many projects in your cloud and only sync the one(s) you need to a given computer. We'd just need to add a feature that stores "previews" of the items in the folder so you could browse without downloading.
But it uses S3 in your AWS account, so would be cost-prohibitive for a consumer storing terabytes.
Any plans for adding tags for items which a user favorites, or could you talk a little about how the favorites work? Can I share my favorites? Are they public/private?
in those scenarios you wouldn't be able to pick up on another device either.
You could keep the thumbnails local and annex the raws. Based on the thumbnails, you could selectively git annex get from the remote glacier

Smith's Nineteenth Rule is probably spot on based on most resumes I see. The ones that list every insignificant detail are sometimes good at getting interviews (particularly in companies that use ATS or train recruiters/HR to scan for single words), but not always successful.

Again, as someone who specialized in Java for many years, this was something I'd see on a daily basis. I see it much less now in the camps I deal with regularly (Python, Ruby, FP, mobile) but that probably has something to do with the technologies themselves and naming protocols.
I was with you until you said intelligent debate. Aside from a few pockets like /r/askscience, Reddit is an awful place for an intelligent conversation. I don't know if Google+ is worse, but there are great pockets there too (Linus Tovalds for instance).

> so that makes it excusable for illegally orchestrated price fixing to attack their legal approach?

No, the fact that the laws which make it illegal are ridiculous is what makes it excusable.
I have this problem, usually on weekends and not weeks off, but not because I live to work. It's because I have a lot I would like to do, and many of these 'little projects' would take more then the time I have on a weekend. So I end up with a backlog of things I'd like to do but don't have the time to do them in. I get bored with lots of things to do but not enough time to start them in. I then curse the need to go to work.

Thank god I don't have friends, bastards would be stealing even more of my time.
