Tracking Phones Google Is A Dragnet For The Police

Jennifer Valentino-DeVries writing for The New York Times: The new orders, sometimes called “geofence” warrants, specify an area and a time period, and Google gathers information from Sensorvault about the devices that were there.

Seeing A Black Hole With Half A Ton Of Hard

Jason Snell writing for Six Colors: That’s 700 terabytes in 50,400 seconds, or about 14 gigabytes per second. As Marrone said, if you’re dealing in petabytes of data, the fastest bandwidth you can buy is not the Internet—it’s putting your hard drives on an airplane and flying them to your destination. That’s a crazy amount of data.
