Maybe they were counting on the pushback. The Feds step up and "suggest" that they turn the encryption off. Or things will go badly for them. They do, but it leaks out. Now the public is pissed. And it's getting near election time.

While this is true, those jobs are few in number.

Historically, little. The bulk of DCs have typically been located where people could go to them because that used to be more necessary, and therefore they were concentrated around tech firms. And they were planned out years in advance, and mostly sited where it made sense. They also weren't maximally power-dense, as there were other considerations. AI DCs are more power intensive, as they're shoving as many processors and as much memory as possible into every rack. And they're building them fast and desperately, so anywhere they can find to cram them in.

That means yes, noise issues, but also lots of other problems associated with rapidly installing extremely power intensive facilities in awkward locations when infrastructure is already strained. Resulting issues with power and water availability are now well documented.

Doesn't even need time code. FCP lines up the files by matching the audio, mostly, IIRC. Also AFAIK, digital cinematography is pretty much the norm at this point, so film likely doesn't factor in most of the time.

Good thing they are nowhere near having a monopoly then

I agree. The existing players themselves would increase capacity in hope of outcompeting one another if they thought this would last.

Nope. There will be more idiots behind them.

Are you sure there's only one? (Yeah, because you defined the problem thusly.) It's a good logical thinking puzzle, but nothing to do with the real world problem at hand.

But you haven't substantiated "the majority" other than staring into a bin and guessing about actual numbers. There's one red ball based upon your example because you put one there. You didn't define the ecosystem of real world use cases. And Poettering is even worse. Given his misunderstanding of the memory and library management of Linux utilities, I'm not believing his estimates. Even worse, his example of sshd is bizarre. Is he really suggesting that we not leave sshd running on systems that we infrequently contact? What? Am I supposed to drive across town and start it on a remote system when it's needed?

Things systemd doesn't do for 200, Alex

Rent free.

Yeah but in practice virtually zero of them are actually closed loop. Even when it is claimed they are there is often a cooling tower which is used sometimes, which means they only sometimes operate in a closed loop mode.

Godwin's law obviously has no modern relevance given that it was invented for USENET and that was effectively destroyed.

Now seriously though it never spoke to whether or not the comparisons to Hitler were apt, as that is situational, only that they would occur.

And sidebar, Mike Godwin explicitly stated that such a comparison is apt when it comes to der pedofuhrer. Just like to toss that in there.

Final Cut Pro can already basically do that, and has been able to do that for several years. Just create a multicam workflow and tell it to synchronize by audio. Not sure how well it works if you're dealing with hundreds of short takes though; I've only used it to line up hour-long continuous shots.

Then again, as cheap as storage is, I'm not sure why anybody actually stops the cameras and audio recorders anyway. If you want to have a private conversation, you can always step off the set and do it in a hallway or whatever.

The iPhone 6s (released in 2015) got a security update last month. So that's almost 11 years and counting.

This is why there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. The worst people have the most money because they have no compunctions about harming others.

It doesn't actually provide that because of the things you can't do in unit files without scripts.

When systemd proponents can construct a non-fallacious argument maybe I'll consider taking it seriously
