Comment Re: Why "instead of"?? [but beyond...] (Score 1) 38

Love it! Iâ(TM)d like to add: Ballots do not show party. No straight party votes. Candidates are randomized on each ballot (so someone outside canâ(TM)t hand you a preprinted exact how to vote list Bonus points: You are required to correctly answer 2 questions out of a random pool of four on the persons political stance. If you are wrong, you have not actually done research ahead of time and your vote is discarded. Our founders never wanted a 2 party system. They are rolling in their graves. If you canâ(TM)t take the time to learn about the issues and the candidate - you shouldnâ(TM)t vote. The whole I vote âoeDâ or âoeRâ because Iâ(TM)m black/brown/minority/alien/aquaman/cowboyneal/my parents told me to straight ticket is bullsâ"- and ruining America. We are a constitutional republic not a majority democracy. 98% of people have forgotten this.

Comment Read about the failure rate of RAID recoveries! (Score 1) 135

With these massive hard drives (8,12,16,20TB) - Example.ST16000VN001 ironwolf 16tb Nonrecoverable Read Errors Rate, Max 1/10^15. 16tb drive has 1.24x10^14 bits of data Max workload of 180TB/yr/drive Put 5x 16tb drives in raid 6. There is a decent probability you will fail to recover your data due to URE for a single drive failure. An almost guaranteed recovery failure if you encounter a dual drive failure. Some of this depends on the NAS, raid controller, etc. some raid controllers are tolerant and will allow the drive a chance to reread the error block. Others will decide immediately itâ(TM)s an URE and kick the disk out of the array. With consumer SATA 7200 rebuild rates in the 80MB/s (generous) - letâ(TM)s say you are using 2/3 capacity - 32TB⦠thatâ(TM)s 5+ days to restore parity onto another drive (assuming your raid card can do it that fast and the new drive can sustain the 80MB/s write rate) Whatever you go with, get setup on wasabi or backblaze and keep stuff backed up!

Comment 59yrs of data to reach a conclusion? (Score 1) 143

The earth has been spinning for millions of years. Other papers have shown swings in temperature larger than what we are seeing now or forecasting over the next 100years. The earth has survived these swings in the past, it will do so in the future. Have humans accelerated the next warm swing a little bit? Probably. Does it matter in the scale of millions of years? Probably not.
