I could copy the entire Library of Congress onto a single 10 Terabyte hard drive.
If they took a high def. digital photo of every single ballot, it wouldn't add up to 12 Terabytes for recording 2 Million ballots. Hundreds of Terabytes?
Do the math.
If you want to make sure nothing is modified (even a lossless compression algorithm could possibly be challenged in court), that means storing raw image data. At 600dpi, 24 bit, an 8.5x11 scan is 100MB per side, Front and back. 200MB per page. Time 2 million ballots, That is 400++ TB's. Now add a second scan under UV light. So figure a PetaByte. Now if you increase to 1200 dpi, that is 4 PB's. That is a few hundred 10TB drives in a massive RAID array.
It is very conceivable.
Comic Sans is the only way.
I'm the secretary of my HOA board and I got heckled for using Comic Sans
Heh probably a bit rightly so. It's basically the Joe Biden of fonts and graphic designer snobs love to hate it.
Once to razz him back I sent him the meeting minutes in wingnut or whatever that one is called where it's just symbols. But now I just use ariel
Note: It doesn't have to be in RAID, and could have several negatives depending on configuration that would make that even less efficient
?
Maybe the person who tweeted this doesn't really know the details and just randomly used "100s of terabytes" figuratively to express a really large number. Kind of like people who use the term "light-years" to mean a big amount of time (even tho it's a unit of distance).
Yeah, I think he just means a shit ton.
A buttload
A shit ton is, at the very least, several buttloads.
A buttload is limited by internal storage constraints. A shit ton is all external aggregated buttloads.
Glad you explained that. I hadn't seen it in a weights and measures list. :)
a wagon full
Less than 100s of terabytes and USB drives would be much more convenient than a server rack.
Pulitzer said scanning is done in multiple wavelengths, so (perhaps) several HIGH definition, UNCOMPRESSED image files per ballot.
Compressing and storing text takes very little room by comparison.
Not correct. You might be able to get text files of just the books and cram it onto one drive, but not full scans including illustrations of the books, or all the magazines, sheet music, audio, and video in the collection.
“…it is estimated that the entire collection of the Library of Congress including photos, sound recordings and movies might take 3,000 TB of storage."

Really high definition scans of 2,000,000 ballots would fill approximately 100 TB.
I really don't care about how many bytes is there. I only care about the big bite in the ass the dems got coming.
Yes they added them over the weekend. I did a post on them when they were installing the servers....

Text takes very little, but high definition scans and videos do. A very high quality scan of a single page can be in the 100 MB range, as they aren't looking just for the text itself, but tiny details in the fonts and watermarks, perhaps even in the way the paper itself is constructed. A couple million ballots would use around 100 TB. There may be multiple scans in various wavelengths. There is also other evidence, interviews, data from tests, etc.
So I can easily see a group that large generating enough evidence to need "hundreds of terabytes" of storage.
I have in the neighborhood of 100 TB of drives connected to my computer and not a whole lot of room left. I can't add a whole lot of drives to that, or I'll run out of drive letters. I don't have the money for an NAS yet. People who don't deal in big data or don't even have a real desktop computer have no idea.
Hundreds of "terabytes" of data? The hell data are they collecting? Voter roles and votes for 1 County shouldn't be that large Jesus.
"Data" in this case is probably high definition scans of all the ballots and other evidence, not just a few numbers in a spreadsheet.
SHould be able to maintain it in Excel or Sequal DB at the most. It isn't that much data, even with image scans.
Also, this server rack might be a defensive response to the security plan being released a few days ago.
Look at how everything is color coded. Even the tables they work at are the same color as their T-shirts. They got some kind of elaborate system going on.
Anyone else when computer games were just 256 K in size?

I remember when there were no computer games...... bc there were no computers.
I remember playing Pong on an Abacus.
Bait maybe? ?
There are probably a couple AZ rangers hiding in there just waiting to popout and say "Gotcha!"
