> It's intuitively straightforward that modifying code for uploading videos could (read: not should) have authorization and authentication ramifications.

I get this part. But why would it affect only videos and not other entities (photos, status etc.)? I would think creating (or uploading) any of the entities have the same authorization and authentication ramifications. What could be different for videos? Unless the privacy models are so fine grained that you can have different privacy settings for different entities (haven't used Facebook in years, so I don't really know). Your explanation makes sense, I'm just looking for a concrete example.

Possible. Some more technical details would be nice, but I doubt Facebook releases the post-mortem to the public.

> This attack exploited the complex interaction of multiple issues in our code. It stemmed from a change we made to our video uploading feature in July 2017, which impacted “View As.”

Obviously, Facebook is an extremely complicated system. But I find it hard to believe a video uploading feature would impact 'View As'.

Ah, never knew that!

I hate how it collapses the left menu bar (Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc) to icons only and then has a big lag to open the menu drawer and show the texts when you hover over it. Gmail was better when it was simpler.

This reminds of a story I read a while back about India's spy agency (RAW) allegedly kidnapping a retired Lt. Colonel from Pakistan's spy agency (ISI) in Nepal using his LinkedIn information as a 'job bait'. From [1]:

> The complainant alleges that some months ago a person called Mark Thomas called his father on his phone number 033434443 from a number in the UK 0044-7451722 and offered him a job at the Strategic Solutions Consultancy firm.

> It now transpires that Lt Col Zahir had put up his bio-data on LinkedIn and some other websites seeking a job opportunity three years after he retired from the Pakistan army.

In short, LinkedIn's data is very, very valuable.

This looks great! Are there any beginner friendly issues for contribution? Didn't find a related tag in Github issues.

What happens to people responsible for the crash today (infra, culprit services)? Does Amazon take some kind of "action" since Prime Day is a huge, once-a-year event for Amazon?

> telling me to take a right where there was no road and into the ocean.

Off topic, but this sounds exactly like the scene from The Office.

Have to agree. It's the only flight I've been in that doesn't scream "economy".

30 minutes is doable. Emirates has 16+ hour long haul flights.

1. Hang out with better people.

2. Stop thinking about how much money others make.

3. There's more to life than which company you work for.

Is there a reason to use 1Password over iCloud Keychain if you're mostly only on Apple devices?

> This looks like an attempt to censor anyone who's not thrilled with the Modi government. I didn't know HN also had armies of Sanghies.

Please keep Reddit and Twitter-like comments out of HN.

> Price - I was considering something reasonably cheap around $1,500 to $2,000 for a studio.

It's next to impossible to find a studio in MTV in that price range. Anyway, you will have better luck searching on Craigslist or apartments.com with the appropriate filters than asking here.

Go does have a strong, central group and in my (admittedly little) experience, they're very helpful too. But I'm just curious how the Go team scales with code reviews since this move will certainly bring in an influx of new contributors/PRs.

I've used both and I much prefer Gerrit over Github. I like the multiple patchset workflow, I don't have to deal with fork/opening a PR and I can actually do dependent reviews in Gerrit (if someone knows how to do this in Github, let me know!). I find Github has "too many steps".

This obviously increases contributions, which is great. Does this now require more time from people with Run Trybot access to manually kick off a CI run? I wondered why Go always used that instead of automatically kicking off CI for each patchset. To save resources perhaps?

It's okay for Mr. Modi to take advantage of that in the elections if it benefits 500M people. That's what every politician does.

Take a look at /r/coinbase for some horror stories too.

These are useful tips, although the example questions are extremely outdated. I found one tip "interesting" though.

> If you already know the answer, don't just blurt it out! They will suspect that you already knew the answer and didn't tell them you've seen the question before. At least pretend to be thinking though the problem before you give the answer!

Most interview questions are taken from sites like Leetcode. So you would have come across some of them if you work through those problems. Is it really that bad if you give the solution quickly? Some problems have specific "techniques" to solve them which you would likely only know if you solved it before. Are you expected to come up with a completely new algorithm to solve a problem?

Speaking from personal experience, exercising will definitely recharge you. I used to think procrastination was the only reason I couldn't get things done as quickly as I wanted to, until I realized that I had low energy levels (installing RescueTime didn't really help that much too). I started to going to the gym at lunchtime at work and there was a marked difference in my energy levels during the day. As a bonus, exercise also helps you sleep well and I can't stress enough how important that is.

Lockheed advertises F-22 and F-35 as 5th generation fighters. Does the USAF have a different terminology?

Interesting to note that the repo author changed title from 'Google Interview University' to 'Coding Interview University'.

I don't completely agree that NYT has framed this as Saudis being attacked, but I did find this sentence strange:

> "The findings show that the Iranian-backed Houthis, once a ragtag group of rebels, have grown powerful enough to strike major targets in Saudi Arabia, possibly shifting the balance of their years-long war."

Shifting the balance in the war? Not even remotely true and is quite simply impossible while the Saudis have all the help from the US.

They probably point out because Karnataka state elections are due to be held in a few months. And this isn't the first time this government (or any government for that matter) has launched popular schemes so close to the election.

The CIA has been known for its attempts at sabotaging Indian nuclear weapons efforts around '74 and '98 tests. One conspiracy theory is that CIA killed Homi Bhabha, considered the father of Indian nuclear program, in a plane crash.
