Avasculous posted:A counterexample for angry drunks that I thought was good writing: Gavin and his sycophants not recognizing any of the people he employed for 7 years and fired a week ago was totally unbelievable and totally great because it perfectly suited him. Eh, I can believe it for a Google-sized company. It's not like he works with them day to day, after all, they're just a few of the tens of thousands of people working for him.

Rexides posted:IRC was created by nerds and academics so that nerds and academics from various organizations, universities, companies, and mothers' basements could talk to each other anonymously with various levels of security if one was so inclined. Well, kinda. The various levels of security it was designed for way back in the 80s were 'None', because noone worried about such things back then. I guess a few support SSL connections now, but that's pretty recent and otherwise it's all wide-open plain text. However, lol at the suggestion you'd hire a guy to run an IRC server full-time. You can set one up in about five minutes and it really doesn't need much maintenance or resources assuming you're not trying to get, like, all of IBM's employees on there. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Jun 9, 2016 |

Veskit posted:And if it breaks? Then you spend another 5 minutes restarting it. Or stick it on a VM and roll back to a working snapshot if something's gone wrong. IRC servers are just not heavyweight enterprise-style pieces of software with lots of configuration or lots of moving parts to go wrong. You don't need to spend much time maintaining them at the sort of scale your average company would use.

fez_machine posted:Because it's not on people's phones. Lots of people help the compression and retrieval, but the photos themselves are somewhere in that giant server farm we keep on seeing or one just like it. Or, alternatively, there are lots of copies of the data. If any given chunk of data is on 100 people's phones, it doesn't matter if 5% of them are offline. (See: Bittorrent)

Vorgen posted:It matters a whole lot if the device that the person is using is offline. Well yeah, but this also applies if it's stored in the  . It's pretty obviously something where you have to be online to use it.

Snak posted:Also, to whoever said that Richard's "new internet" idea was hella lame, I definitely felt that way at the beginning of the season, and probably let out an audible groan when he started describing what everyone who's tech savy and had to deal with terrible internet service providers has daydreamed about. We already have a decentralised internet. It's called the internet.
