spreading the data

Spreading The Data or STD, as per the Acronym App is a method of ensuring that data stored on a network of servers, is not logically stored, but rather spread around for redundancy. The main issue with spreading the data, or STD, is that it does not usually involve spreading the data in replicated format, but rather random chunks of data, meaning in the event of failure, it means you lose some data, but not all the data. This is a technique employed by IT technicians with smuna. It invariably leads to hair loss, high stress levels and in severe cases, yelling at technicians for being stupid. If you encounter STD, report it to the relevant authorities and then hunt down the person doing it and kill them immediately.

The configs are everywhere, they must have been spreading the data

Data Guilt

When you believe that the data your have in your computer system is more messed up than the data in everyone else system.

I've got Data Guilt. I'm embarrassed every time I run a report. I'm afraid to ask my team to clean up our Salesforce - our data is so much worse than the customer service system's data.

Thick data

Thick data is qualitative information that provides insights into the everyday emotional lives of consumers. It goes beyond big data to explain why consumers have certain preferences, the reasons they behave the way they do, why certain trends stick and so on.
