And they still did hire a voice actor, this wasn't machine-generated whole cloth just used in effect a glorified fancier version of autotune to match the other voice actor more closely to the deceased one.

You feed information back into a process that just ran to make adjustments for the next iteration.

You feed information forward from one process to another. We already have this taken care of in the form of a workflow.

Feedback is exactly the right term to use and changing it to use a term that implies a different thing adds confusion, not clarity.

They're using double-speak here.

By 'friendly' they actually mean 'You can trap a co-worker at their cubicle and force the issue.'

Zoom? They can take their headset off, mute you, or just leave the call.

So you don't harass equal level co-workers 1-on-1 over Zoom because you really can't.

So any 1-on-1-ish interactions between equal level co-workers the pushy ones are forced to play much more 'friendly' by that metric.

And I get that Google can't scale up to the millions and millions of users to have a full-sized account recovery team while the service is free.

But having a "Pay $100 to open a case with a human being about regaining access to an account." option at least would cover 99% of the edge cases.

Yes, I said $100. A big fat high-ish number to both pay for a few hours of someone's time and deter abuse.

Even SATA or SAS 6G drives can saturate ridiculously large pipes when you have enough of them. Spindle count (which applies to SSD's too) is a force-multiplier people forget about.

Even just 6 * 2.5" HDDs can fully saturate a 10-gig network link for sustained transfer. Mine do, they only need to push ~250MB/second per drive in RAID-5 to do so in fact.

If you even just expand it to 8 * 2.5" HDD's it only needs to push 200MB/second even if you jump all the way to RAID-6.

Once you're talking even just 24 or 48 (a commonly available JBOD chassis for 2.5" drives, two rows of 24 drives in a 2U, rear row 'tilts up' for swaps) you're talking >40-gig worth of drive bandwidth even if only drive hits about 125MB/second, which even 5400RPM drives can reliably do.

The literal only downside of HDD's is the huge random read seek latency these days. Writes you can mostly avoid the issue just with various modern journaling filesystems that write from one end of the storage to the other, then start back over at the start, so writes become very sequential. Caching can help on the random reads if you have enough, but even there you don't need wall-to-wall NVMe storage, the bottleneck will still be the network links.

Your math is wildly off and nonsensical.

Eight of those would fit in a single 5.25" bay.

https://global.icydock.com/pro... to minimize cabling nonsense even.

Even worst case if you somehow found 15mm tall 2.5" SSD's? You could still fit four in a single 5.25" bay.

Hell I've had a six-pack of 2.5" 2TB HDD's as one of my primary NAS boxes for almost 8 years now, single 5.25" bay.

If you want really high density you can fit TWELVE M.2 22110 or smaller format SATA SSD's into a single 5.25" hot sway bay, though the bay itself costs about $500 then unfortunately.

As corporations continue to want to have rights like individuals, they should be held to the same standard as individuals. Had a half a dozen people delayed returning $600M that was effectively taken fraudulently, would they be seeing jail time, or just a 1% fine?

Let us ponder, for just a moment, which of these two Microsoft is contributing to with their stance.

Perhaps they should lean towards being part of the solution, instead of perpetuating the problem? Perhaps they can split hairs and say that something is 'unconfirmed' or 'unsubstantiated.' This would allow the reader to decide, which is, after all, what those who are posting such things want.

What I think this short article misses are a lot of the questions that are being asked here.

The 4-day work week isn't 4 x 10, it's more like 4 x 9. The pay is the same as 40 hours.

It's not a "everyone is out of the office on Friday" schedule. Some people are out on Friday (lucky dogs), and some on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. You still have, to the customer perspective, people in the office every day of the week.

Further research also reveals that this 4-day work week isn't for all employees, just most. So, if you need to work 5 days a week, you apparently can.

My view on it, is that this could also lend itself to making the 4-day office work week, and 1-day working from home; for those who are "guilty" about not being in the office that 5th day.

It would sure be nice if they had some focus on expansion on the markets they're already in. There are ample areas in their existing markets they don't reach, and it feels as if they don't care to reach.

The question I have is this: If Russia does manage to put up a space station of their own; should the rest of the space community have plans to be able to rescue people from said station, if there is a failure, and vice versa? Currently everything is self-rescue, as a community. But if there is a split, do we revert to the laws of the sea and have to respond to maydays?

I'm curious that if, in fact, a company gets an EDR, why can't they simply call the police department's main line, ask to speak with the originator of the EDR to confirm? This would require bad actors not only to compromise the email system, but also the Phone System and intercept/answer all calls to the main number. It's not fool proof, but it's extra work for the bad guys.

People are always both the strongest and weakest link in the security chain. Making the extra call to verify would likely provide a fig leaf of protection for a company receiving an EDR.

This may be a stupid question, but why is there a 'cap' at all? Wouldn't a more newsworthy story be the raising of the 'minimum' salary?

I wonder if, at some point, Apple (or Google), will just decide to close the App Store and tell you to get web-apps? While they may lose a source of revenue, they also lose a major headache. At some point, as business owners will tell you, there isn't enough profit to be made from business, to stay in business.
