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

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.

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.

Because while the issues are serious and many, Boeing is still making extremely safe and working airplanes. It's impressive and shows that in general, things are going right. It doesn't excuse the decay and issues, but this isn't a case where everything they do is faulty. they're just held to an extremely high bar.

No, I think this is greedier than that.

The company's founder, Harvey Karp, said the pricing change was necessary to "bring in revenue," noting that the company was not underwritten by a university or the government, and must survive on its sales alone. He said his ultimate goal would be to see the Snoo paid for by the government or by insurance companies, but it's unclear if there has been any substantive movement toward achieving that end.

They want the government/insurance to buy them in bulk and then rent seek for everyone using them. There's zero reason why for the price this couldn't be done completely local and not cost Snoo a cent to run. They just don't want to because the long term strategy is to collect revenue forever.

But excuses about not being possible for absolutely every possible codec in a completely generic way is just denying that the world is just a chaotic and dirty place where things are not ideal nor perfect.

It's also not consistently applied. VLC will happily let you jump around in the videos, so his claim that the only way to do it is to play the video as fast as possible from the start of the video just doesn't jive with what is already there.
