A dog DNA database? You must be barking
Real talk: Why are you hanging on to that non-performant disk?
Thursday 22nd February 2018 13:46 GMT 
Re: Really?
I agree. There are plenty of scenarios where having slow disc is a good compromise between cost and performance. A good example would be a system in a hospital delivering X-Rays, MRIs etc. After the images are taken then the doctors will want to look at the images and will view them from say the last few weeks a lot and the system also needs to be responsive. For older images the medics will still need to access them, but that bit of the storage won't be hammered in the same way.

Sun Microsystems invented Java, an important technology that became the foundation of a whole industry, but never profited much from it. In the end, Sun lost its independence and was taken over by Oracle.Maybe this fate threatens the company behind Docker, Docker Inc.
Docker didn't invent containers on Linux, they just made them easier to use and also did a good job with the publicity.

Signs that don't move could be made into RFID "signs" which would be more accurate that using machine learning. Temporary signs and traffics lights could also be fitted with RFID. It wouldn't entirely eliminate the problem as cars need to be able to spot things like Police stopping traffic, animals running out etc.

Re: Used to work there!
In the 1970/80s several of my UK government IT sites had a morning tea and afternoon coffee delivery to each office by trolley. There were no vending machines. If you were too busy to leave the computer room at the right time you went thirsty.
I made the suggestion at the lasted place that I worked in the UK that it'd save the company money to have a tea lady. My logic was it was ~five minutes to walk to the canteen, five for them to make your drink and another five to return. Most people did this twice a day, so the savings from not having the expensive boffins miss half an hour a day in favour of a much cheaper tea lady(/man) could be considerable. Sadly the idea was ignored - I guess they never looked at the teatotal cost...

Minnack Theatre
"Porthcurno itself boasts the open-air clifftop Minnack Theatre, with shows from March to September."
Watching a play the Minnack is highly recommended. Just bare in mind us Cornish will brave almost any weather and so the plays will carry on in all but the worst conditions. I've been there in a sleeping bag in a DofE survival bag! In good weather it's one of the nicest places in the world.

Re: *Shrug*
"Meanwhile, in real life, most households are perfectly happy with 10Mbps, or maybe 40Mbps for a family home."
Netflix recommend 25Mb/s for 4K streaming. Imagine you're watching TV and your film stutters because your tablet or PC decides to update itself.
Also don't forget that on a 10Mb connection you'd only get about 1Mb up, which in these days of every device dumping all your data into the cloud will get contended quickly.I'm considering upgrading my 250/25Mb connection to 500/50Mb as it takes ages to back my photos up.

Future employer
I once had one of these from an employer (in England). It was written in the contract that I'd show it to my next employer who then told me it was worthless and to ignore it... This was going to work for a customer, not a competitor though.
It makes me wonder if there wasn't a similar clause in her contract.
