Yeah great storage price at ~$4 / TB / month. But be aware that egress is $7 / TB.

If someone is mostly just backing up, that’s probably not an issue… well, at least until you have to do a big restore, or you do large recovery testing, or even just backup validations, etc.

If someone is doing lots of reading of their cloud data, e.g. streaming, then there are overall cheaper options than Storj.

One other thing I liked about Storj is that they split each file up geographically. So there’s a little extra level of privacy and security.

Yes, that’s psychological projection.

But in these situations, people are referring to the technique of propaganda projection.

Sure, anyone can sign with a key. Having THE key is the extraordinary part.

But even if we have free will to choose, God knows all. He exists in all space and time. He knows every freewill choice each person will make ahead of time. So he creates people knowing they are unavoidably destined for eternal agonising pain in hell.

And even if we make freewill choices, why doesn’t he intervene? A parent will stop a baby playing with a deadly sharp knife. But if the parent doesn’t see it happening, why doesn’t God jump in and do the right thing like the parent does?

… usually…

“The Jr. Dr. in the dept. of ABC Ltd. who weighed 180 lb., read p. 6, 11, etc.”

Yes, and their shorthand versions, like writing 9/4, have the same problem of being ambiguous.

You keep missing the point and moving the goal posts, so I’ll just politely exit here and wish you well. Peace.

Yes and YYYY-MM-DD can potentially be interpreted as YYYY-DD-MM. So that is an zero argument.

No country uses “year day month” ordered dates as standard. "Month day year, " on the other hand, has huge use. It’s the conventions that cause the potential for ambiguity and confusion.

That is great for your team, but I don’t think that your team has a size large enough to have any kind of statistically relevance at all. So it is a great example for a specific use case but not an argument for general use at all.

Entire countries, like China, Japan, Korea, etc., use YYYY-MM-DD as their date standard already.

My point was that once you adjust, it actually isn’t painful to use as it first appears it could be, and has great advantages. I didn’t say there wasn’t an adjustment hurdle that many people would bawk at.

DDMMYY is perfect for daily usage.

Except that DDMMYY has the huge ambiguity issue of people potentially interpreting it as MMDDYY. And it’s not straight sortable.

My team switched to using YYYY-MM-DD in all our inner communication and documents. The “daily date use” is not the issue you think it is.

Huh? I run SmartTube beta on my phone. I don’t recall having to do anything “magic” to get it working.

We must read very different sources. For example, I’ve seen plenty of articles and videos just this week for Samsung’s 1,000 km EV battery with its 20 year life span, and 9-minute charging. If you consider those combined features incremental, then I can see why you’re frustrated. It’s already in production, and has been delivered to "customers. Samsung are even gearing up for out-sourced mass manufacturing. That’s well beyond some theoretical lab experiment that has no chance of seeing the light of day.

I don’t disagree with you about the 99% over-hype being a PITA. But to adamantly state you’re seeing nothing reported on, while admitting you “could’ve just missed them” doesn’t sound convincing. Besides, it only takes a single article for you to be wrong about it being “never.”

I have never said or intended to imply that there were no advances made in the last 20 or 30 years.

This would be great news if it was commercialy viable, but it isn’t. It NEVER is.

That’s pretty definite by any measure.

But I get it. 99% of the announcements go nowhere. And it’s worse if an announcement is just hype or hyperbole. However, in science we have to do the 99% to find the 1% of true advancements.

So of if your point is just that you don’t like the hyperbole, then using hyperbole yourself is not doing yourself any favour. Of course people are going to be more measured and realistic in reply to your blatant over-statements and denials.
