I dunno poo poo-all about Aspara but if you're using a whole 3rd party copy program I assume it uses VSS rather than just copying the "explorer" data, so it was working off of a dataset that didn't give a gently caress about the naming change.

Also, I thought you made slot machine music. How'd you make that career jump? You lay down a funky bass groove for a game, a porn producer played it and said "I have got to get that guy working for me!" ?

We moved here in 2013, and now we both work at the same place. For anyone who doesn't know, Mindgeek owns pretty much all of the paid and free porn out there. We're like the Google of the adult world. Montreal is practically Silicon Valley for titties  With this job and the casino one, I've had a varied career, that's for sure. I still do audio on the side, some freelancing, but mostly I'm now part of the media asset management team for MG. We're always hiring, so anyone in the area reading this (or anyone willing to relocate to this beautiful city), PM me. I really should do an Ask/Tell one of these days, but that'll most likely be after I leave, if I ever do. I wrote a bunch about my job in the Howard Stern Megathread (in RGD) of all places, if you're interested in checking that out, but it was mostly about my previous position, which was monitoring and tagging user videos that were uploaded to our free sites (Pornhub, Redtube, etc...) Anyway, sorry for the derail, and no, I can't get anyone a free account, sorry

It was probably the Aspera watch service that was monitoring the file systems for changes. Though the release notes for the latest version says there's a bug that might cause transfers to never complete if there is a rename: http://downloads.asperasoft.com/en/release_notes/default_1/release_notes_313 (#13645) so you might want to check your transfer We used the P2P version of Aspera at my old job to send high res masters to Bravo and a bunch of our clients use it or Signiant. I was once tasked with testing a workflow that uploaded assets to Amazon Aspera using CatDV Worker Node via the CLI What MAM do you use if any? pr0digal fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Sep 16, 2016 |

ming-the-mazdaless posted:So who at mindgeek is responsible for the incest slant on your sites? What are you specifically asking about? Are you referring to paid or tube sites? We have rules about "did they say son or stepson?", and 999/1,000 times, it's 'stepson'. Sometimes, something else gets through and if it's bad enough, we'll remove it. I can't get into policy stuff, though. As always, if you see something on there that's objectionable to you, report it, definitely. The tubes dept does its best, but some stuff genuinely gets missed. Stuff on our paid sites are all legit, though. All of the that "mom" stuff is pretty much just MILF stuff, and not "I'm having sex with my mom". More like "a mom". EDIT: Also, the 'incentives for the content' only apply to our partners and the verified amateurs (and even there, I'm not quite sure what the deal is), and believe me, there are rules.

I was half-worried in my head about this for my place of work, but then I realized that due to the nature of the accounts we manage (tax-favored accounts), we'd be legally required to have the payment card processor pay all over-fees, since they're technically a contractor for the account. Never doubt a good (set of) lawyer(s) and the tax code!

Well things are working out well so far... The processor issued refunds for all affected customers on the 15th. The few that received overdraft fees were able to get their bank to reverse them because it was a technical glitch. And of all the phone calls we received, not a single customer was angry. They were all polite and understanding about the situation, even those who ended up with overdrafts because of it. Was expecting the complete opposite...

Getting content onto a new MAM is so much fun! I was asking because my employer does a huge amount of MAM work (mainly CatDV on the low end and Reach Engine with heavy customization on the high end) so I was wondering what other people use for huge loads of media.

DACK FAYDEN posted:They pay someone to do that? I honestly figured it was done Wikipedia-style by a small volunteer cadre of really dedicated basement dwellers. To be more clear, the people who work here at tagging those videos are doing it for the main page. There's a general queue of videos that will be featured there each day (each few minutes, actually), and we had to make sure that those vids were properly tagged and whatnot. Users tag their own stuff, but most of the time, they're idiots and do it wrong, or just don't bother. Think of it as ongoing porn curation.

I just got the mental image of some employee churning through the queue. #MILF... #LATINA... uh... #BIGTITS. Is there quality control for that kind of job? "Jerry, do you remember this video? You tagged it as #ANAL." "Well, yeah, look at it, that's definitely what they're doing." "Keep watching." "Oh, oh god. That's definitely #FETISH. That girl needs to see a doctor. Ugh. Sorry boss, won't happen again."
