Hey, can you recommend a super-simple way to automatically anonymize customer data?
To my understanding, the idea behind the heat death of the Universe is that nothing interesting happens anymore, not that there is absolutely nothing.
Sorry, are you talking about the heat death of the universe or the last five Marvel movies?
2. The heat death of the universe does not mean one gigantic black hole. I’m just a hobbyist but my understanding of the theory is that black holes will continue to form, but through Hawking radiation, they eventually radiate out all their energy until it is all dispersed, ultimately leading to uniformity across the entire universe, max entropy, where “work” can no longer take place.
(It is an interesting question then whether information is actually destroyed through Hawking radiation?)
Thank you for saying that :)
I have a couple of external SSDs and USB flash drives start to flash their busy lights after letting them idle for a couple of minutes. These "bursts of activity" generally is proportional to the I/O work they have done before the idle period.
One of my flash drives did that GC/zeroing thing when it's ejected. After ejection and drive disconnect, its busy light flashed for some time depending on the work needs to be done. If you didn't hammer it when you used it, it did nothing, but if you did tons of work, it worked up to a minute or so after being ejected.
Obviously there are potential hiccups. But a lot of good can be done with encryption and metadata.
