I don't understand what you mean by analyzing facebook as a country. You're saying facebook employees are citizens of the country? And their salaries vary so much? According to this[1] facebook employees make $277k. And this[2] sa

The Uber result for me also gives me 5 internal links to uber.com and a "more results from uber.com" link. Also in the sidebar I get a link to Uber's wikipedia page, as well as various information about the company, and links

You're right I don't really know exactly what the setting does. But if a video cannot play with the black in the video being the darkest black my monitor is capable of, there is a problem there. Maybe it's some inherent probl

Well you should still be outputting full contrast. If it's not displaying black as fully black on your screen, there's a problem somewhere, probably in your playback software. In MPC there's an option Render Settings > Out

I was an IA for a computer security class. We discovered a number of students cheating by copying answers from a public github repo from the previous semester. We noticed because many students were submitting the same bizarrely wrong answer

Is the work sample done in person or take home? If it's take home, then they can just cheat on that by hiring someone else to do it.

They mention their portable batteries at airports. Is that allowed? I thought I heard spare lithium ion batteries were banned from planes, both checked and carryon.

You don't think there's any irony in the fact that Google noticed that Safari was behaving badly sometimes, and asked Apple to fix it, and Apple said "wow thanks for pointing that out, we're going to make it much more ex

What do you think the motivation would be to intentionally "forget"? To save money? If that's the motivation why not pay the reporter $500 instead of $5000 for a small info leak. It's illogical that they would intentiona

A rainbow table is not necessary to crack passwords, and is not able to crack all passwords (even if not salted). And even if salted, a regular (non-rainbow table) attack will crack some passwords.
