Given that it will be coming from a base of near zero, it doesn't take much to be "fastest growing". Just after Occulus released, it must have seen a near infinite growth spurt (as a percentage).

Sputtered magnetic layer, lubricant, and new heads enable massive 200Gb/inch density. The Visual Studio team is considering it to distribute the new build
Might need two cartridges though.

So the Internet, at an estimated 1.2 million terabytes, would take, umm...
1,200,000 terabytes
1,200,000,000 gigabytes
/ 200Gb per inch
= 6 million inches
/ 63360 inches per mile
= ~ 95 miles.
Hmmm.

Now that's funny!...mostly 'cause I recently had to learn how to make a USB bootable and get the bios to boot from it. After a couple dozen tries (and a re-burn) I found the winning combination to install Server 2016. Why all the trouble? The iso is too large for a DVD! I remember when OS's would fit on a CD with room to spare. Progress I guess.

Despite new methodologies and management techniques meant to head off spectacular failures, critical technical initiatives still fall flat at an alarming rate. Here’s how IT can learn from its mistakes. Because you haven't switched to this week's Silver Bullet(tm) yet!

... and then there's the meeting I was in today, for a "new" project, except they (again) want to start by cloning the crappy foundations that I want to eliminate.

I thought it was because execs think that IT is unskilled and underfunded, and the products created have a crap UX, and nobody knows how to promote and support the products.
I read that somewhere.

Anthem Healthcare reveals third-party security breach of 18,580 customers[^]
Quote: A third-party breach may have exposed approximately 18,580 customers’ personal and medical data from Anthem Healthcare. This breach comes a month after Anthem agreed to pay $115 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over the 2015 breach that compromised personal information of almost 80 million customers.
$115 million / 80 million people = $1.43
Can't even buy a large fry at McDonald's with that.
No worries, you won't see a dime of it anyways, cuz I'm sure all the money went to the lawyers who do the work because they "...just want to help people".

Actually, it's worth less because 30% goes to the lawyers (liars). $115 million * 70% / 80 million people = $1.00625 per person.
