  • So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn’t be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.

    I bet what you were handling wasn’t -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.

    Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There’s all sorts of drives that shouldn’t be out in the wild, out in the wild.

    I’m a little surprised there isn’t buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.

    Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they’d be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.



  • Kind of a gross generalization.

    Do you even look at your fellow motorists? Its hard to go more than 5 minutes without seeing someone texting and driving.

    Neither do I and I never said I did.

    Then why are you complaining about their legitimate use of the public space we all have an equal right to?

    The traffic laws as applied to bicycles are stupid and a result of shite infrastructure that forces them to share the road with cars. And don’t “bUt iTs ThE lAw” me either.




  • The car is 2 tons of protective steel. The man on the bicycle is made out of flesh and bones and a little bit of aluminium scaffolding pole, maybe some carbon fiber. One of these is commutiing and not paying attention. The other is engaged in exercise and controlled risk (controlled risk in the same way some people opt to ride motorcycles). I do not begrudge someone working their body in a public space.

    They have exactly the same right to be crawling up the hill at 3mph as I do in a crawler gear driving a truck up hill. We’re both holding up traffic, but you don’t get upset at me because my goods vehicle would crush your passenger car like a bug. Why the contradiction?

    If you can’t see the difference in potential energy (and potential probability for a fatal outcome) then you’re just as lost.
