Probably true - hopefully you can prefix your question with 'Yes, this is 10 Exabytes - no, I'm not typo'ng it' to save some of us from foot-in-mouth syndrome?
That is probably a good idea, get that out of the way up front.
I feel similar frustrations with commenters saying I am doing it wrong by not moving everything to the cloud… I work for a CDN, we would go out of business pretty quickly if we moved everything to the cloud. Oh well.
Yes, exactly. When people cite scaling concerns and/or big data, I start by asking them what they mean by scale and/or big. It's a great way to get down to brass tacks quickly.
Now when dealing with someone convinced that their single TB of data is google scale, the harder issue is changing that belief. But at least you know where they stand.
