Numbers Too Big To Comprehend

“You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit youwith a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go

to a hospital, they look through a small window at

you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it , you

know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We'realmost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000

people? You must get up very early in the morning. I

can't even get down the gym!”

Eddie Izzard, Dress To Kill, 1999

Important To Me



“anything you do for any

significant amount of time, no

matter how dumb or trivial it seems at first, becomes a part of

your history” Aaron Straup Cope, April 2012

We very deliberately chose not

to create a Flickr-blessed backup application because we

hoped it was an opportunity independent developers would

seize. In retrospect, maybe we

made the wrong decision. Aaron Straup Cope, Feb 2012

“minimalcompetance”



With Flickr you can get out, via the

API, every single piece of

information you put into the system

… Not the most recent N, not a

subset of the data … All of it. It’syour data, and you’ve granted us a

limited license to use it.

Twitter #FAIL

Clients may access a theoretical maximum of 3,200 statuses …Twitter still maintains a database of all the tweets sent by a user.However, to ensure performance of the site, this artificial limit is

temporarily in place.



“… services are unmotivated to

invest in the emancipation or preservation of our data”
