Re: Bog Standard Option in US Submarines, too
I'm also guessing the British Navy would have similar rules in place
You mean the Royal Navy ;)

Re: Ticked the wrong box
Where I used to work, most of the IT was outsourced to someone you'd have heard of. For months they'd been taking monthly backups for archiving, no one at the said firm thought it was odd a thousand person site's main filer only required a single tape! Of course when we needed them to restore they only then realised. This was the excuses we needed to bring this service into our shadow IT group...

Hooray more half-filled racks :)
Seriously, it's getting to the point that datacentres are going to have to up their power and cooling if they have any real computational geeks as the servers/accelerators become so power hungry. My work's "high density" racks were optimised for blades in a corporate DC (think SAP, Oracle). We've just put in 100ish P100s and have had to spread them out in two racks.

Re: Other media options are available.
Dumping the data to sets of PST's and directories and throwing it on some form of removable storage would be the most sensible way of going about it frankly.
Azure want somewhere between $0.05 to $0.087/GB for data download from the US zones. It's not clear if they'd actually be able to cough up the money for that.

Purchasing systems
Of all the things you don't want to have to change in an organisation, big purchasing systems are quite high up the list as the changes are so disruptive*
*Disruptive in the sense of costing the business a huge amount of time and money, not in attracting huge amounts of VC money to squander

Re: “cognitive procurement solutions that redefine the source-to-settle process.”
It's like devops, but more agile, for use in today's strategic sourcing scenarios.
It's generic and disruptive across all the verticals and now the horizontal cloud synergies because the devops rockstars are Ninjas

Mi casa es su casa: Ubuntu bug makes 'guests' anything but
Friday 19th May 2017 14:05 GMT
SSH?
The bug, of course, could be considered a security flaw as it would allow anyone with local access to an Ubuntu machine access to any sensitive files and data on the host machine.
Does Ubuntu* restrict guest logins to users sitting physically on the machine or can anyone with SSH or a remote vulnerability get in?
*More of a RHEL man myself, hence the question

Re: I stuck with CDs
Only pains for me is re-ripping the entire collection, if push comes to shove. I am thinking that my next home project shall be an attempt at a robotic CD ripper. The storage issues I don't mind too much..
You've already said that you rip to FLAC, so transcoding should be a load less hassle - unless you fancy making the robot for fun of course ;)
What could go wrong? Delta to use facial recog to automate bag drop-off
Wednesday 17th May 2017 12:17 GMT
Human accuracy?
A NIST study [PDF] published in March found that facial recognition systems in a boarding gate scenario misidentify 6 per cent of the people in a 480-person data set, and 18 per cent of people in a 48,000-person data set.
This figure isn't useful unless you compare the machine to the human accuracy rate.

Although the same argument could be used to justify intelligence gained through torture if it turned out to be life saving. This should just be treated as serendipity.
True, but you'd be pretty pissed off if you ended up on the kidney transplant list if they could have picked up the disease earlier and just given you a few tables and/or diet changes.
