Since IP filter will rule out many sensitive contents that is said about corporation, government, I'm fairly certain it can be ruled out as a good indicator of spam. If it is a spam, is it that hard to just look at the content, I think

shouldn't the spam filter be looking at content and not the IP from where it is posted ?

Why posts made from TOR network don't get attention (do well) in HN?

What's your idea of BIG ? This is not at all helpful if you don't state the amount.

I never said anything about the competence of the staff, it's just the politics. Also I'm not talking about insuring against the bug, but meriting a bug (or any work) based on the difficulty/impact.

Will definitely love to work with some people but think others are just bad influence. Also, the way I see it, the company burnt bridges. I will be polite, but I don't want to do anything with them anymore, product or employment wise

There is just one 3MB file and we divide that file into 1000 parts. I agree there will be collision per hash (for each part). But I'm skeptical that all 1000 hashes will produce such bits so that the final file will cause collision on

Do you mean that there could be two 3K files with the same sha256 hash and the probability of hitting the collision is greater than the probability of finding the correct hash for the file ? Let's divide the 3 mb file into 1000 parts,

I didn't see anything that mentions run-time in the challenge. I think a good compression challenge should mention about run-time. Theoretically, it would be possible to hash parts of the file and then brute force the hash in the decom
