  Til, I cum at 6 petabyte per second

  Is that now 6 comma 016 or 6016?

  We do , and . for parts, ’ for thousands here.

    6.065 petabytes a second or 6065 Tb/s

  Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon hurtling down the hiway.

    Ages ago, there was a time where my dad would mail back up tapes for offsite storage because their databases were large enough that it was faster to put it through snail mail.

    It should also be noted his databases were huge, (they’d be bundled into 79 pound packages and shipped certified.)

      Just a couple of years ago I was sent a dataset by mail, around 1TB on a hard drive.

      Later I worked on visualization of large datasets, we didn’t have the space to store them locally because they were up to a PB.

        Mail dataset in standard-compliant way. Like RFC1149. Don’t forget that carrier should be avian carrier.

        We’re storing data in peanut butter? Please tell me there’s jam involved.

        /j it’s amazing we’re talking about petabytes. My first computer had like 600 meg. (Pentium 486 cobbled out of spare- old- parts from my dad’s junk”Parts” rack.)

    Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).

    For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.

    But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)

      Well, it depends on the purpose of the data. If it’s meant as an offsite backup… well… you’re probably it driving them just down the street anyway.

      Peregrine falcons FTL…

      (There’s this fat fucker that hunts off our building’s rooftop. It waits for a pigeon to strike the neighboring buildings windows and scoops them up. Some how it’s reassuring to know that humans aren’t the only lazy animals. Peregrine are freaking cool though.)

        That’s smart predator behavior! Culls the stupid and injured. Saves energy and reduces risk. Live long and prosper.

  I like to manipulate dallee a lot by making fantastical reasons why I need edgy images.
