GDPR is handled by the state - no idea how/where frivolous part comes from. The people can file complaints with the state/agency but not sue companies directly on their own for violations.

I have the exact opposite opinion. Anything specific part of reality GDPR violates?

Indeed, passing data from the secondary to the primary of the transformers is actually hard, adding the handling of voltage transient spikes would make it even more expensive. And you need only a handful of bytes per hour (assuming nice rep

"e-waste" is, unfortunately, mostly a term used to deflect from the real issues with all the garbage produced. Shipping and installing the meters likely generates more waste than producing the meters, themselves.

signalling/communicating through the zero cross of the AC is trivial as long as there is a galvanic connection (wire). Once you get to transformers nothing much happens unless their is a module on the secondary to intercept it and then

We don't know what the servers are; dual socket EPIC, i.e. 128cores, makes the number look beyond trivial.
820.
by xxs 3y ago
servers have lots and lots of cores, you might as well divide by 64 or 128, which would set it to 1s. Overall 4req/s per core is nothing.

My initial response was to: "If you are IO-bound, why spend $3000 more on a CPU...", the desktop ones just dont have the PCIe lanes to prevent the I/O bound case. You can run 3 monitors off a iGPU (if you dont care about 3D),

workstation - that would require some external GPU, so 8 or 16 lanes. 4 for chipset/USB. That leaves 8 or 16 pcie lanes for SSD, decent NVMe SSDs are 4 lanes, which means up to 4 fully enabled SSD, it's not much, esp. running RAID

True, I meant pre-mixed bag of cement + sand. >Even if you used just cement and water I think you would get more than 12L from 25kg. The thing will crack very soon. The density of concrete is around 2.4g/cm3

25kg of cement is roughly 12L of 'concrete. 12L is 20cmx30x20cm (8x12x8 inches for the freedom loving folks)

a lot of that would be transport costs. So unless there are to produce the brick locally (and w/o a kiln - which would require something to burn), they are to experience similar issue with costs of the bricks.

Sure, I had a talk recently where I mentioned P.K. and opening the ZIP which made it the default compression format. And zip became a proper noun (aside zoning improvement plant, version, that's it) >In the end, Phil Katz was taken.

Zip is terrible as a local files system, unless you consider read only (randomly, and not many files). Writing/append to a file requires some form of garbage organization/compaction - which requires rewrite of the entire CEN. Unli

by xxs 3y ago
The massive downsize of zip is that each file is compressed individually, which means very poor compression. Overall the compression rate is significantly lower, same with an attempt to decompress it all. It's only useful for random re
