I just placed a bid on your NFT, to the moon!

Diffie-Hellman sounds very spooky, love it!

Exactly, what is the point?

Same with me, to learn anything I need to write it down, possibly several times.

Some useful information about SVG security here https://www.w3.org/wiki/SVG_Security

Thank you!

I miss the geek-ish, designer-ish old Apple.

Just a technical conversation.

I have hired dozens of engineers and have never failed do find great hires.

What I mostly do is just a conversation, which I call “geek conversation”, just like when you meet people at meet-ups or tech conventions.

With a simple talk I can first make the person relax, this allows me to have a great impression about her/his personality, passions, interests, personal roadmap, attitude towards problem solving and etc. Whenever we ponder on a more technical subject I throw some questions that might help me measure their technical level a bit, but what I care to measure is mostly awareness on things, nowadays software engineers need to be, above all, great at researching, for most roles they must have a broader overall knowledge and be able to creatively join the dots with a ton of pragmatism. I don’t care if they are able to implementing Dijkstra's or to modify a Trie in front of me, although having awareness of what problem these things solve is a good indication of some seniority.

These interviews take a lot more from me, I have to properly learn about the candidate and the role before I enter the interview and that requires people skills and real interest in the product, and of course I am not able to interview 40 candidates to find just “the best one” (which is ridiculous and something I actually don’t believe actually exists).

Yes there are roles which require the extreme algorithm coding skill, but those are a minority and it is unfortunate if your company is treating every candidate as if they were going to do that.

With partial data of 50 million CA was able to do such a social damage, what about FB and others sitting on billions of full users psychological profiles and playing irresponsible saying trut us?

Yep, lazy-loading core libraries.

I've been doing a lot of FE for many years now and have worked with all major frameworks and I love JS and its flexibility. That being said I think we've been building one framework after another trying to abstract the things that make JS a language not suitable for state dependent apps. Elm feels like the right step compared to anything else out there.

Agree, "is implementing" could last forever or have a very limited scope by design. I think I am going to assume there is no E2E encryption until a proper confirmation from WhatsApp.

Can anyone point me to where WhatsApp app is actually confirming they are implementing E2E encryption and how?

I couldn't find anything on the oficial web/blog, the single mention on security is this FAQ[1] which is about server/device encryption.

A friend also told me E2E is only available for US users but unfortunatelly I can't confirm this because of the lack of communication from WhatsApp.
