> The only way a bad actor can manipulate the ledger is if they own enough nodes to gain a majority, which is virtually impossible. Im not buying that. If there is a way, someone will do it. This actually seems like a huge vulnerability

They also (most likely) include many other, even network packet level checks in addition to primary and secondary authentication. Its not as simple as it looks to the honest end user.

There are also measures that can be taken when using SMS based MFA, via services that check if the SMS is forwarded to a burner phone, or do a SIM check with the phone. In addition the SMS based MFA services should be leveraging fraud score

But if you think the stuff you work on is cool, why can't you express that feeling by telling it to someone else? Because you lack the confidence in your work, which is the exact problem. The interviewer should not change here, you sho

I don't see this as being humble, I see this as a lack of confidence in their skills and abilities and achievements. These same people, for the same reasons, are adverse to avoid making decisions and second guess their work, which caus

All I see here is excuses. A good software engineer has to be able to communicate freely and be confident and decisive in what they say. Asking a question like this expresses all of these things, and being an experienced interviewer also al

You are right, its an investment, because you are investing in commodity. With its limitations and the insistence of being fully de-centralized (which is in reality is not, due to the consolidation of mining power and nodes etc) and its upp

Yeah this is pure ignorance. There is a time and place for advanced profiling/debugging tools, and there are times where using simple logging to debug things quickly is perfectly fine. You applying debuggers as a hammer to all the prob

So who do you think actually will use this site and for what? For pirated content there are tons of free torrent sites. For legit content Google Drive, Dropbox and many others offer very generous free to use packages. Why would I ever use a

By using FB, you consent to them using the information about you that others and you yourself provide. Dont like it? Dont use FB.

Maybe your 40+ folk are not that qualified then? Or maybe the demand for their specific skillsets is not as high as you assume it to be? The attitude itself is pretty telling already. Market sets the demand, not your hopes, wishes and wet

I agree on the intent for the H1-B visa, no issues there. That does not mean that immigrants should be barred or Americans always chosen over the immigrant. The selection should happen based on their competency - if I'm a better candid

Please stop talking about things you have no clue about. I have been in the US for 3+ years now on a H1B visa and during all this time my wife, who has an MBA, is not allowed to work here - which is absolute garbage. The change was the righ

Except they did not leak it to Buzzfeed, it was not compiled by any of the intelligence agencies, multiple media companies were in possession of the report and the report was not confidential in any way either. While there at least yet is n

This is why the Austin Thumbs Up! initiative matters and companies like ID.me with their identity proofing/vetting capabilities can solve the issue.

Multiplayer games sadly are much more time consuming, and the older you get, the harder it is to find a regular schedule and buddies to play with. Been there, done that. I even play WoW these days mostly solo - I love the game, but can&#x27

The article is titled to kind of make it sound like its a bad thing, when its not. The discrepancy in different IDs and how different states issue them and whats accepted is ridiculous.

Don't bring that "everyone is a winner" talk here, it a breeding ground for people with no competitive drive.

You tend to ignore the fact that foreign policy is not dictated by one person alone. Yes the secretary has a lot of say, but not ALL the say in these matters. The decision to have those countries as strategic allies is a country-level decis

I think you have no idea how to real world works. Most of the arguments against Facebook sadly seem to be wildly out of touch with reality. Amazing that these essentially conspiracy theories are cultivated by otherwise pretty smart people -

Not to offend you or anything, but have you considered that the problem of your potential (better) employment is you. I see a lot of people claiming that the H1B program is bad and that there are tons of developers available in the US etc.

As some of the commenters before have mentioned - its a lottery when the # of applications exceeds the quota. And it has nothing to do with country of origin.

Have you ever considered that the issue could be you, not HR/recruiters? Not trying to insult here in any way. People at times are super oblivious to small stuff that causes huge issues.
