Three sheets to the wind

I’m curious about this. If demonstrable, it seems many Canadians could sue.

What is the typical user workflow? For example:

1. An embedded Adobe applet (e.g. fill, sign, and submit on the government website)
2. Token-based API (e.g. redirect or spawn child window/tab, user fills and signs on adobe site, user returned to government site)
3. Something else (e.g. upload button with server-side validation for digital signing)

Edit: looked into this a bit. Did you receive an error message like the following?

This document does not allow you to save any changes you have made to it unless you are using Adobe Acrobat Standard DC or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

(Regardless it’s totally shitty that government websites recommend a specific company’s software, especially Adobe. I’m just trying to figure out if they actually force citizens to pay a private company.)

Estate tax reform and/or UBI

Ah! Been there. Allocating lanes on small systems always seems to have more trial and error than I expect.

And here’s that x4 SFP+ card: https://www.trendnet.com/products/10g-sfp-pcie-adapter/10-gigabit-pcie-sfp-network-adapter-TEG-10GECSFP-v2

can’t find any SFP+ card that is x4

Pretty sure mine is x4. I’ll check.

Edit: confirmed.

Is it unwarranted? Have Chinese tech companies turned a new leaf in their collective InfoSec practices?

Conversely, has Intel had a history of consumer privacy violations?

+1, also chocolatey

8GB is too much! Offer a 4GB option then we’ll talk.

Maybe yeah. Also got the sense from the strong opinions that this is a preexisting debate, presumably in the context of continuous workloads or cached arrays with minimal spindown intervals. In that context it’s true that rotational disks still often win in energy efficiency and robustness (assuming we’re comparing them to consumer SSDs and not the latest enterprise u.2 stuff that’s rated for continuous work).

Not sure what everyone is arguing about here. Clearly SSD is better for intermittent r/w, whereas HDD can be more efficient at continuous r/w (especially in terms of watts/TB)

Just looking at specs should be enough to see that. SSDs can idle in ready state at close to 0 draw (~0.05w) whereas HDD requires continued rotation to remain ready. So consider an extreme case of writing for 1 minute then maintaining ready state for the rest of the day. For that the SSD will be far more efficient, obviously.

True, and interesting since this can be used as a statistical lever to ignore the exponential scaling effect of conditional probability, with a minor catch.

Lemma: Compartmentalization can reduce, even eliminate, chance of exposure introduced by conspirators.

Proof: First, we fix a mean probability p of success (avoiding accidental/deliberate exposure) by any privy to the plot.

Next, we fix some frequency k₁, k₂, … , k_n of potential exposure events by each conspirators 1, …, n over time t and express the mean frequency as k.

Then for n conspirators we can express the overall probability of success as

1 ⋅ p^tk~1~ ⋅ p^tk~2~ ⋅ … ⋅ p^tk~n~ = p^ntk

Full compartmentalization reduces n to 1, leaving us with a function of time only p^tk. ∎

Theorem: While it is possible that there exist past or present conspiracies w.h.p. of never being exposed:

1. they involve a fairly high mortality rate of 100%, and
2. they aren’t conspiracies in the first place.

Proof: The lemma holds with the following catch.

(P1) p^tk is still exponential over time t unless the sole conspirator, upon setting a plot in motion w.p. p^t~1~k = p^k, is eliminated from the function such that p^k is the final (constant) probability.

(P2) For n = 1, this is really more a plot by an individual rather than a proper “conspiracy,” since no individual conspires with another. ∎

I don’t know, but I’d guess the buffered chipset controller has more stability during certain power state transitions.

Only 7. That’s perfect. I forget who said “three may keep a secret if two are dead” but of all the mustache twirling pricks in that admin, Cheney should have known.

Edit: it’s Ben Franklin’s joke, apparently. I doubt he’d mind.

4D chess by the deep state!
