The “Million Dollar Homepage” as a Decaying Digital Artifact

Thanks for all your help with suggestions everyone!

I'm more inclined to use Apache Lucene.

Both because of the abundance of people doing similar extraction from comparable data stores, but also because Lucene is a part of the Hitachi data suites which are my business choice.. Allowing I ever return to business.

I mention Hitachi only because by anointing Lucene in a Tier 1 product, if I encounter the need to provide a audit that is relied upon to attest any sensitive data is purged from the cache, I'm sure that it will be acceptable in the format of such a high end system report.

Of course that's window dressing,but my aim is to get big businesses to contribute more old data... just who might aggressively retain data for their own reasons, compliance and security the usual needs,

Well those donors are who need the reassurance of a more vendor.

I wrote above the delightful ideas this prompted me to forget about dinner last night, so I will stop here.

But I cannot help but feel in my gut this is a real and viable project that can snowball and be a huge thing.

Oh, sorry, I misled you, I have to add what just now came to my mind : anything that encourages big companies to give into really old data archives, is just when they are ripe for selling new bulk capacity. The need for refreshing the media is so overlooked by businesses that otherwise have great practices. So you can nudge even the least hungry prospect customers towards your sales team.

Can't a vendor jump on this one?

Can someone enlighten me to a better appreciation of the moderation of my above comment?

I don't understand, unless maybe I was gushing somewhat. I do that. I'm female. And despite decades writing programs mainly for my personal research, I have a non technical, traditional media business, corporate experience of computing.

So when I look around here, I am both very happy to not see references to big ticket kit, and the feeling of independence is fresh without question.

But I cannot recall any acknowledgement of the tooling that corporations have habitually to hand. That GitLab controversy I thought hardly touched the issues of providing the level of service that major enterprises require and do obtain from the market, instead of using open source software for singularly critical infrastructure, without any analysis of the alternatives. It would be very boring to discuss storage products, its hard to get real information about them, even, despite the influence of a host of new companies. But the debate didn't touch a single advantage or aspect of the options exist.

I'm in total darkness trying to guess what I spoke improperly. I thought I might prompt someone who sells hardware support for say Ceph clusters, to comment, using the idea to gain awareness their own business.

But a silent, cold, zero, feels badly in need of some sort of company that commiserates the comment I wrote. I can totally grok if the Shut Up Woman reflex is one I have prompted you to feel. My bad, I usually have a lid on the gush. Is the idea so awful? I only know that the commission on storage systems is still enormous, and I think in particular younger HN types could make sheer bank, in a EDS sales setting, where real understanding of technology is, well, imperfect. It seems like the HN world doesn't acknowledge the corporate world much. That's a pity, if true. Below the household name corporations are so many in real need of serious minds, and I know personally that the salaries are not as bad as they are made to look at with statistics when debated here, I mean you think a typical character here is going to be a bottom decile performer, or top centile producer, compared against the big wobbly world of corporate computer departments?

Edit horrid auto correction

I can't see anything wrong in what you typed, so you're not alone.

"Cool URIs don't change." Link rot is the biggest threat to the World-Wide Web. In my view it's irresponsible to issue a URL without being confident I can keep it available at least as long as the document exists. I don't have that kind of confidence in the government of Libya or Tonga decades from now.

I'm also not a big fan of redirections that cross failure domains, just because they make the web slower and less reliable.
