how many do you need? maybe just buy your own?

by ptah 7y ago
how do you enforce that

by ptah 7y ago
requiring opting out is a huge barrier as shown in behavioural economics and definitely makes it "not easy" especially if no one else is seen to be doing it

how easy is it to leak millions of records? digital data it takes seconds to do, hauling filing cabinets out of that facility is exponentially harder almost intractable
674.
by ptah 7y ago
filing systems are fairly robust. it's down to trade-offs. valuable data is better kept offline and the costs can actually be less than keeping it in cloud database
