Maybe they shouldn't be using "Breakthrough Performance" in their ad copy...

This is 100% a scam site, please flag

I put in test/test as the creds and it claimed to query and start collecting the data

> Please wait while your report is being generated... > Parsing account information > Querying for transaction information > Parsing transaction information > Loading charge batch

Then I gave up waiting as my tracking blocking went crazy.

Woah woah woah, this reads as a major scam...

> If you have an American Express or Discover card you can enter your online credentials we'll load your charge names directly to check them for fraud. Your credentials are transmitted securely and then cleared after querying. No personal information will be collected. Your card will never be charged.

Never ever ever ever do this. This is a terrible idea and if this is a legit site, they should never offer this as an option

Fun game! Resizing the browser window after it starts breaks the game though. If you you resize it so the princess is off the screen, you can't lose :)

In Magic parlance, you play the game with a deck, but all your cards that you can build decks out of is called your library.

Thank you for that clarification.

Another question about this, presume #1 10 gb, #2 20 gb, #3 35 gb

We have #1 and #2 open, #3 is taking 50% of the 'free space' shown. Is writing data in #1 or #2 have a roughly 50% chance of destroying data in #3 or does it known mapped blocks and the overwrite only happens once the actual free amount is used up?

Can you describe what you mean by plausible deniability if in your example you can prove from any of the individual Shufflecake volumes that there's X amount of data in the others?

3-volume Shufflecake setup with on a 100 gb device. I put 10 gigabytes into #1, 20 gigabytes in #2 and so in #3, I can only store 70 gb of data before I get I/O errors, which leaks that there's 30 gigabytes of data in the other volumes.

p2p leaks the 'metadata' of the network connections. It makes it trivial for someone to know that these two nodes are talking to each other. A goal of this, and other similar protocols, attempt to prevent that sort of metadata analysis.

there are news articles (I admit, of questionable origin) the claim he visited Russia yearly for the past decade. I do wonder if it the situation is a little more complex then he was a fugitive of the Russian Government

Valve just announced that games existence a few days ago and it's still deep in development. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make based upon its count of early play-testers?

If an issue can be automatically detected and remediated, do you really need a runbook? That space has to be huge. I don't see a purpose for documenting it.

That said, a tool that runs through existing runbooks and improves them or suggests new ones would be extremely useful IMHO.

Manager's entire job is to provide the organizational support and navigate the organizational challenges to allow the non-manager employees the space to do their job. When we talk about systemic organizational failures, managers are the ones that own that problem and are accountable for the failures.

Sure, on an individual basis, you have pockets of amazing managers that can't overcome organizational inertia. I feel for them as well, but when organizational failures come into play, I'm certainly taking more pity on the employees then the managers.
