According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce[1], 1688 while being built, 157 on-going jobs. I assume this is some 'average' datacenter; I didn't pursue methodology.
I would imagine they do. The people running the pirate sites know what they are doing. Noone who really wants to stream pirated games is stopped. Blocking CF is performative, not effective.
Tenable makes some "read only" adapters for hard disks (SATA, PATA, SCSI & FW at least). They're usually sold as part of a forensic analysis kit. I have a couple and they definitely work. I believe there are a couple of other vendors (Wiebetech?) make similar devices.
The alternative (tho not practical in many cases) would be RO media like RW-DVD.
You mean DVD-R? DVD-RW is rewritable, which means it's not really RO. The semi-obscure DVD-RAM takes this a step further by making it work a lot like a hard/flash drive (at the user level, not technical).
Wait...this has been going on for 15 months without resolution or recompense and you haven't pulled up stakes and moved to almost anyone else? I get "it's a lot of work to move" and maybe "we hope they'll figure this out so we don't have to move", but in my world that excuse runs out waaaaaay before 15 months. The people I'm accountable to would have hauled me out back and put me out of their misery after, maybe, 6 months on the outside.

I expect the combination of
Yes, we should've migrated away sooner, we never had the capacity to do so and hoped Bunny would just get their shit together.
and
The loss rate isn't enormous in percentage terms, but it's consistent and ongoing.
means that detecting and dealing with the loss is substantially less work than moving away. [0] I expect that Management is fully aware of what's up and is making the call here.
[0] "Just" add a retry if the post-upload verification step fails! Sure, it's slower, but it works, right??? mournful sob
I'd guess that it hasn't become an issue with any of their clients. If any big client had been impacted once, they would have sped up moving. If a big client had been impacted twice, they would have moved already.
That's fair, and I agree (hope?) if it was customer impacting there would be a miraculous allocation of scarce resources to move platforms. But in my world I'd get asked "why are you still screwing around with a vendor that clearly sucks" even if it was for a non-prod playpen of no consequence. YMMV.
I should dismiss my ISP that's worked for something like 20 years, works now, and will in all likelyhood still be working in 20 years (baring M&A nonsense or the apocalypse)?
Sorry, IPv6 is absolutely not the hill I'm going to die on.
I'm not "voting against" anything. I genuinely done care and don't need to. I don't need IPv6, never had a single thing I needed[1] not work being IPv4 only, and moving just so I can prove "I have satisfied camgunz edict that nothing other than IPv6 can possibly work" isn't grounded in reality.
Those billions can move right along doing what they're doing. They don't bother me; I don't bother them (other than you, it seems). Considering how "IPv6 exclusive" has worked for the last 25 years, I'm quite confident I'll be dead before I reach the point of caring about it (and even if I make it, I'm equally confident I'll be able to manage both stacks).
This sort of tiresome sophistry really gets old. "But what about camgunz nearly religious need to pretend IPv6 is the One True Way and all others are heretical" is not more relevant to the wider world than "but what about kjs3's ISP".
[1] Emphasis on "that I need". I'm a network engineer and architect. Passed tests even. I've done IPv6 in prod, and I can contrive all sorts of "that only works if you're IPv6 only" scenarios and have had to work around some of them. They aren't relevant to my ISP or me.
If you don't personally throw a Molotov cocktail at your ISP after spray painting "IPv6 MOTHERFUCKERS" on their door I will downvote everything you post on HN for 2 years. Some people talk a big game; I walk it.
Seriously...don't read any other science fiction stories. The things they write about that we can't indulge you by proving how they could possibly happen will make your head explode.
If you really need to enumerate examples you can just say "does it have FTL travel? Don't look Aperocky! Your head will explode!". Plenty more examples...
I think you touched on the point: people who don't actually care about music think musical pablum is 'good', because it slides in their ear and out without challenging them with actual 'listening'. This guy even assigns a genre to his slop while clearly knowing (and, really, caring) nothing about what he claims to like listening to.
