That moment when when the CEO is back in the hotel room, and realizes he just authenticated to a laptop that was not his would be an ideal moment for the assassin that looks very similar to him to exit the hotel bathroom, pop the CEO, dress in his clothes, and proceed to the bank for wire transfer shenanigans.
We should listen to ourselves. If we don't have enough information to make an informed decision, then study and acquire that information. No one is responsible for you except for you - with the caveats of children/dependents being not responsible for themselves.
What Youtube or any other internet information says is irrelevant until you decide otherwise.
They didn't do a good or a bad thing - they were a blank canvas someone put their art(video) on. Recently, that blank canvas is only willing to have certain art present on it - that's not a good thing. The only thing keeping it going is an inertial mass of subscribers, which over [possibly a long] time will dissipate.
Could you share a little more about your experiences with mp? I'm in the other camp - I use multiprocess in several python applications and am more or less happy with it. My real curiosity I suppose is what data you are trying to pass around that isn't a good candidate for mp.
My own use cases normally resemble something like multiple worker-style processes consuming their workloads from Queue objects, and emitting their results to another Queue object. Usually my initial process is responsible for consuming and aggregating those results, but in some cases the initial process does nothing but coordinate the worker and aggregator processes.
This didn't sink in until my 30's, it's true though.
It's not PGP that is uncracked, PGP is a set of tools built on top of RSA. RSA is still secure (other than brute force factoring) with appropriately sized keys.
The biggest problem with PGP isn't PGP itself, it's your opsec approach to everything else. Example... after decrypting a PGP payload - did you save it to disk unencrypted? Did the recipients to your messages save it unencrypted? Are any machines infected with keyloggers? PGP is a great tool, but still requires good opsec overall.
That said, could someone tell me what I might be missing? Ignorance is bliss, but it's also ignorance - is there any critical information or happiness that everyone else [who uses social media] enjoys that I do not?
I had no idea about this, but it seems brilliant. Immediately immersing them in medicine instead of all the non-medical education you would be forced to complete(and pay for) in the US sounds like a win.
That is a link to the banker's manifesto. The ideal scenario [in the manifesto] is for home prices to far eclipse yearly income, and for houses to be owned by banks instead of occupants. Everything old is new again...
These irk me too! The pictures never mention that the hand pump in them, isn't a bike pump at all, it's a high-pressure pump that you will have to pump for nearly an hour. I see these constantly in the "suggested products" when shopping for any diving kit on amazon.
Yes, you are correct.
Me too, but that will never happen. Consider America's past: armed revolution, native genocide, violent [secret] coups with foreign governments, murder of its' own citizens by "peace officers", it goes on and on... It's not a peaceful place with a peaceful history, so I don't think your wish is too realistic. That said...you did say "wish", and I wish it also.
To dig into the far past...the potential bodycount during Columbine dwarfs the actual body count because they only were able to kill victims with guns. Their explosives failed, and hundreds of lives were spared as a result.
I think the people seizing those weapons should be less concerned about "average" gun owners, and more worried about fringe citizens willing to die to detonate a high yield explosive in the centers of power.
That said...I'd take being shot by a bullet any day compared to being shot by a modern bow/crossbow. Definitely a better chance of surviving the bullet.
Interviewer: There is a file of 500,000 words. Some of the words are duplicated. I would like you to produce a report of the duplicated words, and the report should be sorted most-duplicated to least-duplicated. You can use any programming language you like.
Candidate 1 spent half an hour writing a program in Java that accomplished the task. He passed, but was ultimately not offered a job.
Candidate 2 spent approximately 10 seconds and typed `cat words.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -gr`. He passed, and was hired.
The moral is...sometimes a technical task in an interview is not to assess only your coding ability, it's also to assess your problem solving methodology. The person who used common user-space unix/linux tools didn't already have his mind locked into "writing a program to accomplish the interviewer's objectives" - he just used the lowest common denominator(the shell) that could accomplish the task he was given. It's not all algorithm memorization that counts.
