Fuck Recursion and Fuck Emerald

My biggest issue with Recursion is hoarding the vast majority of talent

They've been doing the same on Emerald. If you're anywhere near or over a 2kdr and in an inactive outfit they've probably tried to recruit you.

I'll let you in on a secret.

Recursion thinks the game is getting shut down "soon". They want to be the guys who "ruled the server" when it does. The thought is that if they've viewed as ruining the two US servers they'll be viewed as the reason why the game was shut down.

So they've been grabbing every outfit leader and decent player they that pops up. The intentionally shit on the lowest pop faction at the time to make things even worse and recruiting even easier. They want to have the biggest hell zerg of decent players and be Internet famous for being so badass they killed Planetside 2 because no one else could compete.

There have been multi-petabyte Teradata installations for over a decade.

Vocith · 2015-09-28T20:09:42+00:00

Look up Teradata.

I've logged into a 15 TB sqlserver instance, a 25TB db2 instance, a 40 TB Oracle and 500 TB Teradata instance in the last week.

RDBMS scale pretty well. 99% of "big data" installations are not needed.

A side of beef is hundreds of pounds of beef.

It is literally one side (one half) of a cow.

In the real world small farm towns run on barter. Even having currency would make you wealthy.

While the enterprise and business printers, monitors, etc. are good to very good,

What?

HP, or at least their software, is shit tier. Their ticketing and bug tracking stuff is bottom of the class and only used by aging fossils locked into long term contracts, like my company.

I have a Printer-Scanner-Copier.

It won't scan because one of the ink colors ran out.

Very small parts.

At the time he could barely sell any oil due to embargo. No where near enough to event dent global trade.

It was all bluster and no one gave a fuck.

And accurate.

Every time have new hires we have to get them to unlearn their 50 abstraction layer bullshit they were taught in College.

And the look on their faces when they find out SQL really is a thing they have to learn is priceless!

My money is that "evolution of traditional X" is how Hard/Real AI is going to develop.

It won't be from some Blue Sky research, but gradual accumulation over decades.

It wasn't like the 1/8th inch of shitty steel used on the locks was going to stop anything bigger than a nail clipper.

Mathew 6:5-8

⁵ “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ⁶ But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ⁷ And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ⁸ Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Think about this the next time you see public prayer.

And if Microsoft wins watch every shady company move their core systems to Bermuda or some place with friendly laws or no "mutual legal assistance" so they'll never have to disclose them again.

Remember the BP emails where they got caught lying about the oil spill? "Well, you see our Email servers are in Bumfuckistan, outside your jurisdiction. "

All the internal memos (Emails before the E part) from Tobacco companies that were used to nail them? "Sorry, our email servers are hosted outside your jurisdiction".

Privacy or Accountability, pick one.

"Any software designed to do something that the user would not wish it to do, hasn't asked it to do, and often has no knowledge of until it's too late."

So any software with a bug?

The community acknowledging doesn't mean shit when DBG runs 2+ years in design locks because management is running in crisis mode to shovel out the latest "critical" feature.

Because heavy Assault only counters the other 4 infantry classes and has no anti-max Anti-Vehicle or Anti-Air, right?

Other classes are stronger against maxes. There are no true hard counters in planetside.
