Redundant und verschlüsselt: Hinter IBMs Cloud Mass Data Migration verbirgt sich ein Storage-System, das dem Kunden per Post zugesendet wird. Darauf passen bis zu 120 TByte an Daten, die in die Cloud migriert werden sollen. Das sei wesentlich schneller und damit günstiger als ein Online-Upload. (IBM, Speichermedien)

I want to be clear. I’m not an iPhone H8r.
But I’m going to call the iPhone 8 what it really is: the 7s that never was.
Every other year, Apple has, historically, released an “S” version of the iPhone, like the 5s and 6s. The “s” stands for “better, but mostly the Same” (which I made up but doesn’t take away from its truth). This year, Apple skipped the “S” model of the 7, and went straight to 8.
BuzzFeed News; Apple
None of these updates are *bad* — together, they make the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus slightly faster, more comfortable, more convenient, and better at taking photos compared to older iPhones. But make no mistake: if you were expecting the NEW! NEW! NEW! of a “whole” number iPhone (A new kind of port with the 5! A new bigger phone with the 6! Water-resistant and no headphone jack with the 7!), you might be underwhelmed.
In terms of feeling New, the 8 pales in comparison to the iPhone X-pensive, the most significant redesign/update to the iPhone ever. The iPhone X retires the home button (in favor of more screen and a new form of biometric authentication that can recognize your FACE) and replaces the ol’ LCD display with a stunning OLED one, for blacker blacks and more saturated, eye-popping colors.
Oh yeah, and it costs a grand. And it won’t be available until November. So, of course, it’s the iPhone you want. But, unless you’re a hardcore fangurl/boi who needs the latest, the X probably isn't best phone for you.
Most humans in need of an upgrade — especially those with an iPhone 6 or older — should get the 8, which hits stores this Friday, Sept. 22. While the iPhone 8 doesn't wow, it's still the best iPhone for most people. For Android users looking to switch, it’s a little more complicated, because there’s a new Google Pixel coming just around the corner.
For an iPhone 8 and 8 Plus deep dive, don’t rest your weary eyes just yet. If you’re already saying to yourself, “PIXELS BLAH WHO CARES,” scroll to the bottom for the TL;DR.

Hinge Matchmaker is new standalone app from the dating app where you, a non-Hinge user, can see all your Facebook friends who are currently on Hinge, and suggest two of them who you think would be a good couple. Your friends will each get a notification that you suggested the match, which they can choose to ignore if they think you’re wrong. By default, everyone on Hinge will have their profile show up in Matchmaker; it’s opt-out instead of opt-in. And this raises a few potential privacy issues that the app has yet to address.
Hinge, which has been around since 2013, lets you swipe through your Facebook friends of friends for potential matches. It makes logical sense – a set-up from a friend seems like it would be a better way of meeting someone, and it takes advantage of the fact that you probably forgot a lot of your Facebook friends exist. “People may way underestimate how many friends they have that they haven't thought of yet to introduce,” Justin McLeod, founder of Hinge, told BuzzFeed News.
As someone who loves to meddle in other people’s business and also loves the show Millionaire Matchmaker, Matchmaker appealed to me greatly. So I tried it out.
Swiping through the suggested matches, I felt a eerie sense of horror. The people on there were mostly distant acquaintances — people I knew from college, former coworkers, professional contacts. I felt a little as if I shouldn’t know what their business is. Not that there’s anything shameful about being on a dating app, but just that these weren’t people who I felt like would want me to know about their personal or dating lives. It’s kind of like how it’s ok to be nude in the locker room because everyone else is, but it’s not ok to look through a peephole into the locker room. It feels like “lurk mode.”
Until now, you wouldn’t see who was on Hinge unless you were also on there to date. With this new app, you can instantly find out who of your Facebook friends are on Hinge (and thereby who is single and looking to date), something that you can’t do by simply joining Hinge as a dater. There’s plenty of circumstances I can imagine where someone might not want a Facebook friend to know they’re on a dating app – for example, if they’re cheating (which, I guess that’s on you anyway), or they got out of a relationship but aren’t ready to tell everyone yet. Or, if your relationship with the “friend” is especially convoluted — an ex or a coworker or a family member, for example.
Matchmaker also will show you the Hinge profiles of people who are inactive or did a common blunder of thinking they deleted their account when really they only deleted the app from their phone. Like other dating apps, you have to delete your account within the app. If you just delete the app from your phone, your zombie profile still exists and can be shown to people.
So let’s say you use Hinge, meet someone, fall in love, and delete Hinge from your phone (but don’t fully delete the account). Your profile is technically still on the Hinge, even though you don’t realize it. Now, your partner wants to try to set up some of their friends, so he or she downloads Matchmaker, and sees your profile as one of the suggested pairings with their other friends. Looks like you’re still trying to date on Hinge, you rotten scoundrel. Dump City, population: you.
Since the app only suggests potential couples if they both match up in age and gender preferences, it also has the capability of outing someone looking for a same sex relationship who isn’t out. In a perfect world, we’re all adults who would love to see others find love; in reality, that’s not always the case.
However, Hinge believes that most of its users aren’t afraid of being seen by their Facebook friends. According to McLeod, Hinge's users are looking for serious love matches, not horny hookup cheaters. “We haven't seen that that’s something that people are super sensitive about using Hinge,” McLeod said.
In the end, I didn't think that any of the people I saw via Matchmaker actually would be a good match for each other. For example, it set up a potential match between my college boyfriend and a former coworker.

Read this post in Portuguese. A Nova Região GCP de São Paulo está abertaa
Read this post in Spanish. La Nueva Región GCP de San Pablo está abierta
We’re pleased to announce that the São Paulo region is now open to the public as southamerica-east1. This is our first Google Cloud Platform (GCP) region in South America, and it promises to significantly improve latency for GCP customers and end users in the area.
Performance testing shows 80% to 95% reductions in round-trip time (RTT) latency are possible when your serve customers in Chile, Argentina and Brazil compared to using other GCP regions in the U.S. GCP customers are able to build applications and store data* in Brazil as well as make payments in Brazilian Reais.
Services
We’ve launched São Paulo with three zones and the following services. You can combine any of the services you deploy in São Paulo with other GCP services around the world such as Data Loss Prevention, Cloud Spanner and BigQuery.
What customers are saying

The launch of the São Paulo GCP region will continue to support us in order for Contabilizei to continue delivering services 90% cheaper than traditional accountants.”
— Fabio Bacarin, CTO Contabilizei
