Comment The end of a era (Score 1) 247

So my email is indexed, my searches are indexed, what I like to watch and listen is now also indexed, nearly a complete profile. How long until profile algorithms accurately to predict purchases, crime, disease, etc? This is the “Age of the Profile” That is to say that a complete picture of every connected person will soon be available. An interesting time indeed...

Submission + - Keeping those photos Forever 3

And now well if one of those photos vanishes, I might be able to survive to post again, but if say the “Peru” or “Colorado” folder vanishes, well it’s been a pleasure being a part of the community. The trouble I’m finding is in designing a backup scheme that recovers from accidental deletion well. I currently do a mirrored backup to the server (Robocopy), then apply a 52 week shadow copy , an offsite backup (Cabonite) & top it off w/ a yearly archive of that data to a USB drive. There are still A LOT of scenarios were accidently deleting a folder and not noticing causes you to lose data, forever. I’m sure others have walked this road, and valued their lives, so I asked what solutions have been implemented.

Can you really slow charge at home? I mean honestly even if just 5% of the population was charging cars at home during a hot summer night I think it might overload our production/delievery capacity. The underlying expense to route that much additional power is going to be rather extreem. Not saying we shouldn't, but it's really not in place at all at the moment.
