EDIT: Given the presence Blloc has established online, it's likely that this is a real project. My apologies to adhambadr and the rest of the team.

-------------------

I noticed this as well. The images of the device are entirely inconsistent with one another [0].

* Rendering effects are visible in some of the images

* The front is displayed inconsistently. In some renders, a speaker is shown. In others, it is absent.

* The front is shown as having a black bezel at the top in some images and on the bottom in others.

* The radius of the rounded corners fluctuates between top and bottom and from image to image

* On the back, the fingerprint reader, camera lens, and LED may or may not be present from image to image

* Antenna cut outs are depicted as either horizontal or vertical

* The side buttons do not appear congruent

* The information on the back is inconsistent (sometimes device info, sometimes Blloc)

* The camera style fluctuates from image to image (sometimes single lens, sometimes dual lens)

On the flip side, the domain has been registered since 2016 [1] and the project has been referenced on other sites [2][3] (using some of the same rendered images). The Instagram [4] has had posts since 2017, but, again, most appear to be renders.

>> 1. no one believes anyone can actually code - I experience quite the opposite. People expect others to be able to code just because they are currently employed as software developer. That's not true at all. Sooo many people can't.

It's fair to assess someone's ability to code. It's also fair to for the interviewee to expect the interviewer to demonstrate an ability to review code.

>> 2. Coding interviews are not about findign the solution but about showing some skills, showing how you handle things under pressure, your ability to explain what you do etc.

Until I have something better to go on, I assume the interview process is a good proxy for what it'd be like to work with you. If I think you're hazing me, even if I 100% ace your interview, I simply won't want to work with you.

>> PS: One side note. A senior coding position might feel age discriminatory because senior is for talented ~28 year olds to mediocre ~40 year olds. A 50 year old should be architect/manager or not switch jobs.

Is that a serious comment?

I think he lumped African countries for convenience. I have a friend living in Kampala for 30 yrs. He takes his family to stay on a boat in Lake Victoria for a month during any major election period. Or leaves the country. The authors Syria observation is a perfect example. The major points are simple. The benefits of firearm ownership among those who consider themselves able to defend their family/property for a short time outweighs any negatives they are likely to experience.
A Port of Fréchet Inception Distance (FID Score) to PyTorch
Instagram has become the dominant image sharing social network with over 800 million users. It shouldn’t need to lock up users’ data in order to keep them around.

That's fine for Instagram, but what about startups that want to compete with them? They'll find that users will build up collections of photos and videos (perhaps using proprietary filters that make a given application popular for a while) at their expense, and then instantly abandon their platforms. GDPR is great, or at least not a negative for large platforms, but a disaster for startups.
Firing a person on a work visa is a seriously dick move, especially if they are from china or India, where the waiting lines for a green card is 3-10+ years.
I've thought about getting plastic surgery to change the way my eyebrows sit on my face. They naturally angle downwards and always look like I'm angry, when my face is completely resting. When I'm interacting with new people, I have to consciously keep my eyebrows raised as I'm smiling to look more pleasant. I really do think it is a hidden handicap though, and one that affects literally every interaction I have with people.

"Once a bin is locked, it cannot be deleted and none of its data can ever be changed."

I can understand why there is good reason for the data to never change, but if your product gets popular, or you are unlucky, then this could turn out to be a bad design choice i.e. Bob copies and pastes data containing customer PII in instead of the data they meant to include.

An option for data to be deleted, even if it's after multiple prompts, or a streamlined support flow.
Using ping is a really crude way of establishing the 'darkness' of a prefix.

Complete prefixes just block off all ICMP incoming traffic, as do many core internet infra-structural devices (although they may pass them on, they won't answer pings directed to them).

The trouble with using bugs is that most of the work for fixing them is in isolating just what's going on and where the problem is, and there's no telling how long that will take until you do it. A bug on a new codebase could be anywhere from a few minutes to a few months.

In particular, if you don't know the codebase, you're going to be guessing on places to look. If you're lucky and guess right, you may spot it right away. If you guess wrong, you could spend a lot of time diving around irrelevant details. There is some skill in guessing well and not spending too much time on things that don't give any progress, but there's still a lot of luck too. Because of all that, it doesn't seem like a good idea to assign a bug that you haven't already essentially fixed.
This is so horribly wrong- I've known upper middle class that get there by not spending hardly anything and owning their own business and operating it (e.g. Gas Station + Auto Repair). No leeching there. No accounting for "Luck" here or proximity to resources and opportunity. Do they actually teach this in schools or what nowadays? starting to seem prevalent. Life is what you make it, tomorrow holds no promises, opportunity doesn't knock it looks backwards through your peephole, can't take it with you, go where the food is(!!) Heh, how about some more pragmatic advice huh?
Why did he drop out of school? This sounds like a modern application of mechanical engineering.

Adidas sold 1 million pairs of its shoes made from ocean plastic [1]. Wonder what the market for ocean plastic is like?

It really depends on how it's done. Some sites, like Wired, tend to give you a short, one or two sentence abstract of the article so you get the general gist. If it piques your interest you can click through for the real meat. I'm okay with this. They have a paywall after you read more than some amount per month, and I believe they have a special subscriber RSS feed with full text. So this solution seems like a good way to both respect my time (by only inducing me to click into stories I want to read) and maintain the value of their subscription.

Other sites, like Slate, are more annoying. They write headlines and opening paragraphs that are "Slate-pitches" that are trying to goad you into clicking. These I have no patience for and eventually unsubscribe from after my fourth or fifth click-through to a thoroughly boring article.

So what are you saying? That startups should have the right to lock up their users just so they can have a business?

No, sorry. If your business depends on "locking up users", maybe you shouldn't have a business.
As far as I understand the situation, it would be pointless to chase “unused” address ranges and try to claw them back because:

1. It would be technically very difficult, and old equipment is frequently hardcoded.

2. With the rate the allocations are going, you’d get maybe an additional few months or a couple of years out of this enormous effort. After that, all the addresses really would be allocated, and now what do you do?

Considering the huge effort, technical and political, it would take to do such a thing, it is easier to just adopt IPv6.
Can't agree with this more. Getting laid off was an invaluable experience for me in retrospect. As a young single person with money and job prospects it's basically a free paid vacation.
What about them? If they provide a platform that is good for users, users will continue to use them. If not, the users will take their data elsewhere. That's the way it should work.
> For example, divisions by zero are considered UB [undefined behavior], so a compiler can assume the divisor is always non-zero (Chapter 6.5.5). This means code that checks the value of the divisor prior to a division can be removed by a compiler

C's "undefined behavior" rules are insanity of the highest order, bordering on professional malpractice. They are the result of the pursuit of speed at the expense of all else. This might have been acceptable in 1973. It should not even be contemplated in 2018.

So I'm supposed to spend my time researching your GH instead of just letting you spend 5 minutes proving it? There isn't enough time in a day to research every candidate's code they wrote on their own time (and personally I'd rather not be judged by mine). And, if people lie on their resumes already, what makes me trust their GH? It's like saying here's an essay I wrote, you don't need to talk to me in person, I"ll just stay home and you can decide whether you want to hire me.
I think is is maybe more of a personal realization for the author, but a job isn't security. Saving an 6-18 month buffer of expenses is a better level of security, having a marketable skill set is some level of security.
It's unfortunate how Instagram, as a very popular social network, has a very slow speed of improvement. Too many features missing, UI still has issues (not to mention the lack of a dark theme), the UX is just "weird" and the setting menu reminds me of Winphone settings: too cluttered, many useless buttons, and no icons!

On top of that, many times images won't just load. And Videos play automatically, consuming much internet traffic.
I have been told that I look angry when I am focused on listening to somebody. Not a good thing.
You're saying "what about startups that want to compete" while arguing it's not fair to make them have to actually compete. I don't follow.

While true, I was under the impression that there wasn't a cross-domain cache that wasn't opt-in. Again, though, maybe this is per-domain so it's moot.
> To add file extensions, you’ll need to run the following find command.

Could use instead:

find . -name 'new_filname*' -exec mv '{}' '{}'.csv \;

Although simpler would be using:

split -l 500 filename.csv --additional-suffix=.cvs

Also the suffix supplied to sed's in-place is optional

For a very long time I was saving a lot, even over 50% of every paycheck. I was renting a room, even if I could easily rent whole flat. I was spending my money mostly on food, clothes and sometimes I bought electronic gadgets. I didn't even had a driving licence, cause I thought owning the car is an unnecessary expense.

Now I own used BMW, so I spend a piece of money on fuel and casual fixes. I also spend greater amount of money on branded clothes. I buy a lot of books, which I am currently addicted to. I'm 32 single guy with decent salary, but I still rent a room, instead of a flat. I still buy electronic gadgets and I pay more for them, than before. I don't cook, so I either eat outside or order catering for whole day. I don't intend to invest my money. I just want to live my life, learn science, read books, play with my cat, meet with friends and develop my pet projects. I use time as currency, so I'd rather pay someone to clean my flat or fix the car, even if I could easily do it by myself. There are months, when I can spend more than I earned, but usually I can save even %40 of my paycheck. And BTW I'd rather call myself a geek, than nerd. But it was nice, to share my thoughts ;)
Sunday's probably too early. Monday perhaps. :-D
> The money made from selling the plastic to manufacturers, who want the cachet of using ocean plastic, will theoretically fund the operation.

Ouch. Trying to reuse mixed plastic that is in little tiny pieces, and very highly contaminated? Maybe they'll catch some large nets.

Oddly enough, in this case a little greenwashing will help. Tell people it's "recycled ocean plastic", but actually use just a tiny bit and landfill the rest.

It's still a win because the plastic is no longer in the ocean.

I also have a pretty "expressionative" brow / eyebrow area.

I've run into the same issues you have - and I definitely look mean, and angry when in reality I am just puzzled or intrigued.

Throw in the fact that I am 6'4 280lbs, and this is absolutely a handicap unless I can deal with people enough to the point where they can figure it out themselves.
Excellent visualization, however you have to use the units of measurement appropriate for a space faring people who have visited the moon.

So your 500 sq ft apartment is filled to a height of 3 feet with salt. That is 400 billion grains of salt.
Yes! This is coming in the next few months. You'll be able to require multiple admins to approve production releases or really lock up sensitive machines. Supervised access (requesting short-lived access to a server in real-time) is coming too!
I think in this instance DNSSEC would have prevented the entire attack. If I understand the sequence of events correctly, the route hijack was done to the auth DNS servers hosting myetherwallet.com. Then these rogue DNS servers redirected users to a fake myetherwallet.com.

If myetherwallet.com had been DNSSEC signed then users who validated the signature chain would have not been redirected to the fake site. But it's not DNSSEC signed.
insidious and subtle discrimination is the name of the game in the US. it's definitely worse in that it's far harder to fight against.
Any time I've heard of people I knew getting referred by old coworkers they still had to go through the complete interview process. Are you getting jobs through word of mouth alone with no technical interview?

I haven't heard of that happening too much, at least in the Bay Area.
Take-home assignments are a great way to filter out women, the sick, and the poor, but make it look totally above board.

"The IT industry is committed to increasing the number of women engineers. But if they're too busy caring for their children to spend six hours doing our silly test, that's their fault for being women. We are forced to hire 20-something white males who have nothing better to do with their time."
>The problem is if I then leave for more than 2 years, I lose PR

That's not correct. You need to be present in Canada for 2 years out of every 5. NZ is more flexible but has a 2 year qualifying period to get PR.

It's also 3 years to qualify for citizenship.

US Greencards are the worst. Leave the country for a couple of months and it can be revoked.

How about PyPy, an implementation of Python itself in Python: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/project-ideas.html
or putting it in numbers : 530K vs. 130K (with 40K being employed at AMZN/Seattle and 40K at MS/Seattle) - "Information" at

https://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.ca.htm

https://www.bls.gov/regions/west/washington.htm#eag

as i said, the next best.

Compare the scenarios:

- a 10%, 4K layoff from AMZN would present a high, by tech standards, unemployment situation of 4% (4K / 90K of the rest of tech capacity in WA with almost half of it - 40K - being just one employer - MS). So it would be very hard to choose and pick and negotiate on a new position, if any.

- a 10%, 4K (judging by various sources, 4K is probably a bit more than 10% of Google employees in CA) layoff from Google would just result in a hiring frenzy by the rest of the 500K industry trying to fill the positions.
CEO is disposable, but often gets a golden parachute.

NAT of course is not the best solution ever, but vast majority of currently used network nodes do not need publicly routed IPs in a limited global space. If anything, many of them are much better without one. Yes, I know, firewalls. But why not just avoid the issue by not having publicly accessible address for non-public systems in the first place?
Sorry how does that help if the attackers purchase a new "valid" SSL certificate since they control the DNS and thus email?
Technical arguments aside, props for the Avatar: The Last Airbender reference.
On x86 CPUs, working with latest compilers in -O3 optimization level is becoming like working with old RISC CPUs without hardware for unaligned load/store: except if you write your code using memcpy/memmove for unaligned
load/store, you'll get caught by some crash. E.g. in x86-64 in -O3 GCC emits SIMD instructions that can crash your code if not properly aligned. E.g. the typical cast to 32 or 64 bit that worked in C on x86 processors, is no longer guaranteed to work:

uint8_t * p = some_address_not_aligned;

uint32_t i = * (uint32_t *)p;

In order to be safe previous code should be replaced by:

memcpy(&i, p, sizeof(uint32_t));

(the compiler is smart enough for inlining the above memcpy call, so is as fast as the previous case)
Seems good so far, but it's annoying that the author needlessly sniped at double-spaced sentences. He even admits that whitespace collapsing makes it a meaningless distinction, but rather than focus on the actual information of "if you really need them, here's the vaious Unicode spaces" he spends over half the section harping on something that winds up making no difference.

Peterson has a force/action bias by his psychology, so the criticism (apart from being an apparent straw man which doesn't help matters, though it doesn't look like you're quoting him directly) needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Keep in mind that much of what Peterson himself does is take an armchair approach. That is fine, but it means he will tend to swing broadly between "critique" and "action" as two possible alternatives.
That was for native compilation and those figures were from their own website.
