How is putting hardened criminals in a jail system where they are deprived of freedoms, assaulted by other inmates and guards, sexually assaulted, murdered, etc not considered torture? Wouldn't it make more sense to put them out of their misery if they are facing the rest of their lives in that condition?

She should be barred for life for working at any companies that were affected by the regulatory body she was in charge of for at least 5 years.
It's a conflict of interest otherwise. You cannot regulate an industry for the best interest of citizens while being in bed with the same people you plan on regulating.

The only speed increase you get out of harddrives is when density goes up.
Otherwise platter speeds have been more or less stuck at 5400/7200 rpms. Increased density has slowed down a lot in the past 5 years.
Eventually ssds will beat out harddrives in terms of price/capacity. They've already blown them away in terms of reliability and speed.

Fairly sure that increases in capacity usually means increases in performance as well. I have not seen any ssd on the market today that illustrates otherwise.
We're down to less than .50$ a gig on ssds. Prices have been plummeting. You can get a 256 gig drive for ~100$ . 1TB drives have been almost hitting the $400 mark.
When 2TB ssd come on the market, you'll see the rest drop in price as well. I'm not quite sure where the author is getting their information. Check the price drops over the last two years and you can see they haven't hit bottom yet.
