![]() Hammerspace took on this really tough innovation challenge and created an elegant, efficient, integrated solution.” Global DataEnvironment They have tried to build their own solutions, they have tried to integrate multiple data movers, storage solutions, and metadata management solutions and never been satisfied with the results. Molly Presley, SVP marketing, said: “For years, I have spoken to customers in Media & Entertainment, Life Sciences, Research Computing and Enterprise IT that constantly struggled with sharing their file data with distributed users. In effect, what we’re doing is elevating data to exist in an antigravity field able to access any infrastructure.” The idea is to keep data access points updated with the GDE metadata so that all data is visible and can be accessed from anywhere.ĬEO and founder David Flynn told Blocks and Files: “Data Gravity is central to the story. This can give applications on-demand access to unstructured data in on-premises private, hybrid or public clouds. It builds on Hammerspace’s existing file and object metadata-based technology that unified distributed file and object silos into a single network-attached storage (NAS) resource. That’s quite a mouthful, and it means what it says. Hammerspace, the unstructured data silo-busting supplier, has raised its game to provide a Global Data Environment (GDE) across file, block and object storage on-premises and in public clouds with policy-driven automated data movement and services. Women’s Health even published a whole article of stories from parents who got cock-blocked by their kids. And, someone even wrote a 2016 faux-children’s book about it called Nobody Likes a Cockblock.Ĭock-blocking can also be metaphorical, a colorful or humorous way to say “interfere.” In his 2012 song “ Ten Thousand Hours,” for example, Macklemore hopes that “the soundman doesn’t cockblock the drums.Take a deep breath. Due to their innocence, kids are especially good at unintentionally doing this to their parents. Of course, cock blocking people who do mutually want to have consensual sex is still pretty annoying. ![]() An anti-sexual assault group called the Girl Code Movement (à la Man Rules or Bro Code), offers sexual assault prevention tips under the heading “Cock Block Tips.” A 2011 paper on sexual violence noted that social norms around cock-blocking may make male bystanders less likely to intervene in potentially abusive situations. The desire to not be seen as a cock-block may have unintended consequences. In case the title wasn’t obvious enough, the posters featured the silhouette of a rooster. The 2018 comedy movie Blockers features three girls trying to lose their virginity on prom night while their parents try to block them. Riffing on the same cock/rooster idea, in the 2017 board game Cock Block players are roosters trying to score “chicks” (actually hens) while blocking each other. The cock’s over-the-top personality seems to paint the whole idea of cock-blocking as absurd. In 2015, a comedy sketch on Inside Amy Schumer featured a humanoid rooster (get it?), a personified cock block who walks around a bar ruining guys’ chances with women. Some examples include: clam jam, twat swat, box out, or beaver dam. ![]() Many other names have been suggested for the female equivalent, which is also useful for pairings that don’t involve a cock. ![]() Some women may still call the action a cock-block, in this case being prevented from receiving the cock. Women also like to have sex, in case you didn’t know, and find interference just as annoying. ![]()
