A real risk indeed.

> Take, for example, when they intercept shipping deliveries. If a target person, agency or company orders a new computer or related accessories, for example, TAO can divert the shipping delivery to its own secret workshops. The NSA calls this method interdiction. At these so-called "load stations," agents carefully open the package in order to load malware onto the electronics, or even install hardware components that can provide backdoor access for the intelligence agencies. All subsequent steps can then be conducted from the comfort of a remote computer.

Re:Ask HN: What is wrong with my resume and portfoilo? on Friday July 31, 2015 @06:34PM (#9984913)

Yes, I would. Typos on github readmes and HN posts are trivial, however, any blemish on a site built solely to showcase accomplishments, skills, experience, and attributes, regardless of how small the blemish is, reflects negatively on the author. Of all sites, this site should be top-notch.

As for your PS, yes.

I think he is referring to your text at the top of this post, as it is not proper English.

As another data point, I would disregard your application immediately upon being asked to 'Sing In' and 'Sing Up', which is clearly a rookie typo/shows a lack of attention to detail.

Take the word "overseer," like a sample

Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example

Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

Officer, officer, officer, officer

Yeah, officer from overseer

You need a little clarity, check the similarity
