Perhaps you weren't able to read the actual announcement from Evernote. They state that employees WILL be manually reading the notes, in order to improve their machine learning capabilities.

These are human beings reading confidential material. Abuse is incredibly likely.

From the FAQ:
"This is primarily to make sure that our machine learning technologies are working correctly, in order to surface the most relevant content and features to you. While our computer systems do a pretty good job, sometimes a limited amount of human review is simply unavoidable in order to make sure everything is working exactly as it should."

There is this. Open source, encrypted, similar to Evernote. My concern is that I would dump all my data here and the kind folks running the project would move on to something else.

Disclaimer: I work for a storage vendor. Also a long time Slashdot reader though, so this isn't mean as a sales pitch.

Half of a petabyte is not really a lot of data in today's world. I talk to people every day that are trying to find ways to manages many PBs (into the hundreds) and are having challenges doing this with traditional storage. The trend that was started by the big Internet companies is to get rid of the fibre-channel SANs and instead solve the problem of storage using standard x86 servers. They use Linux as an abstraction layer from the hardware, and applications acting as storage systems too pool many servers together.

One of the challenges you need to get over is stretching a namespace that big without filesystem limitations like maximum inode counts. This is generally accomplished using some type of key/value store (object) under the hood. Single flat namespaces with no practical size barrier.

Some options that are available today are Swift from OpenStack and Ceph from Red Hat if you want to go the open source route. These can be good choices if you have the engineering staff on hand to piece it all together and the talent to keep it running. GPFS is also making a come back in this area, and there are a ton of startups looking at this space now.

My company has a commercial solution for this stuff. Pretty cool - it's a Linux app and runs on the server of your choice. I'l save you the sales pitch, and if you want you can try it for free on your own here: http://scality.com/trial

Whatever you choose, best of luck to you!

Boxing has long been associated with a form of CTE called 'Dementia Pugilistica' (literally Boxer's Dementia), which manifests as Parkinsonism (and Dementia).

The etiology of 'Normal' Parkinsons and Dementia Pugilistica are almost certainly different, but at many stages they look similar enough that it's probably fair to say that boxing does essentially cause Parkinsons.

The Aaron Swartz Story is quickly becoming some new kind of Godwin's Law.

Yes, it was a horrible tragedy that everyone involved probably wishes they could do over again. No, it has nothing to do with this case.

The Brazil rat didn't "know" to communicate signals. The US rat didn't "read" the mind of the Brazil rat.

Here's how it works.

There is a recording electrode in Brazil Rat's head. It passively records the activity from a region of the brain involved in the task. There is a stimulating electrode in US Rat's head. It passively replays the activity that was recorded from Brazil Rat's head.

The control condition in this case is what happens to the US Rat's choice behavior when they shut off the stimulating electrode.

Make more sense now?

Why does this insanity continued to be repeated on Slashdot?

Resolutions were passed authorizing the use of force. Congress has authorized vast sums of money to wage war. Politicians in both parties have acknowledged that we are at war. Personally, I'm not particularly happy that we went to war, but it's pretty clear that we did so.

This is flat out wrong regarding SBS. The essentials version is the previous Foundation version, not SBS.

I love that the first post is exactly what I would have posted, amen brother. This is what you do when times change RIM, you adapt. Microsoft realizes that unified architecture and a consistent experience is what consumers want, and what makes Apple devices so stable and easy to develop for. Very impressed with Microsoft's move here.

This program is designed for small business/startups. Check it out, gives you internal use of almost the entire Microsoft lineup. http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/community/mpn/pages/microsoft_action_pack.aspx

I agree with this, or a half rack. You don't want a rack mounted or bolted down because when you go to sell someday, the likelihood of the person buying wanting a rack room over a closet is slim to none.

The Catholic church has been lost for a long time, and this is just a sign it's never going to change. They changed the commandments to suit them for goodness sake! Changed the day of worship to suit them. Hid the bible from their followers because they didn't think their congregation could properly interpret the word of God (and also see the truth). Now in a long list of other atrocities, they banish someone for showing what's going on rather than commending them for helping identify a problem. Sorry if this comes across as an attack, but the Catholic church is scary. I think a lot of the people who are Catholic just don't know any better, and I feel for them.

Not to mention that no matter how far off, we have a finite amount of resources, nobody can dispute that. Even if something won't run out for 100 years, how will we make advances and learn how to mine in space if we don't start now? It's the whole mindset of people that think we can just ignore something for a 100 years and then magically have the technology in 100 years. You can't from A to C without going through B. We wouldn't have any of the amazing things we have today if it was for people who accepted "It can't be done" or people that couldn't see past the short term and see the long term goal.

Anyone posting with a l33tspeak handle is immediately invalidated.

Just to play devil's advocate here, AV2012 probably infects that many each day, or hour for that matter.
