Lots of people have Mac laptops but you can't use them for anything but remote into a gLinux desktop or virtual machine to do development. Or you can use a web-based development environment. Basically, at Google, a laptop is just a web

Nobody knows what storage would cost because there is no technology that currently exists to make storage possible. Battery technology helps a lot to stabilize the grid over seconds to minutes or even hours, but the kind of storage that wou

Wealth is not zero sum, but Ponzi schemes are. They do not create wealth, but pretend to do so until the scheme collapses.

No, this is the code that you inject using your vulnerability. The vulnerability is the privilege escalation part and this is what you do with your privilege. Exploiters call this shellcode since a common way this manifests is that the code

I think you're missing the point. The question could be possibly rephrased as "what are the tricks that the AI uses to fool humans?" The paper goes on to identify some of the specific tricks that the AIs appear to use. A rela

Most of the debt is shorter term and must be continually rolled over. So when first moving from low expectations of inflation to high expectations, there is a temporary one-time gain, but after that the government will need to pay higher in

You can conclude from this that the schools are not better because of funding differences. You can try to come up with other reasons why this might be so, but don't point to funding.

That would be interesting since that would be likely the shortest known MD5 collisions. The shortest ones known are 512 bits differing by 2 bits. If I had to guess, you might have been hitting collisions in a truncated MD5 hash. It's

You found 2 actual emails with the same md5? That sounds very unlikely. MD5 is weak against attack, but you're not going to be hitting collisions with "normal" data and especially not short strings.

Apple allegedly broke some new definition of labor regulations that don't currently exist. The NRLB is trying to expand this to the point that there's literally no action you can do to respond to a union.

It's just because the interviewing tool you have to put your notes into at Google takes text and not pictures :-). The hiring committee will actually look at this, and this is a different person from the interviewer.
