Bitcoin will soon be on a parity with gold (per ounce) and is much cheaper and easier to secure and transport.

Symmetric (shared-key) algorithms do have vulnerabilities to quantum computing: Grover's algorithm allows a brute-force search to be performed in square-root time of the key size (i.e. 256-bits -> 128-bits, 128-bits -> 64-bits). This isn't a big problem as long as you're using at least 256-bits.

And those wobbly suicide doors are hilarious.

Why can no modern car maker design something with the beauty and elegance of an E-Type or Muira?

The last thing this industry needs is yet another wave of bad Java programmers.

One would hope they do the compression first otherwise there's very little point.

It's actually 400 MB. You need to get this sort of thing right if you're planning a career in the tech industry when you finish school.

I love vinyl and I know for sure that it gives a less accurate sound than CDs. What's great about vinyl is the euphonic distortion it adds to the sound.

There are loads of 1920x1200 monitors available. Looking at my local hardware shop's page, there about 30 different models with both TN and IPS screens from the usual suspects (Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, NEC, Samsung, etc).

I prefer that extra bit of height and use a 2560x1440 27-inch Dell.

Cut your fingernails :/

He probably plays the classical guitar (long fingernails only on the right hand...), so that's not an option.

Or they could just use a desktop PC with 64 VMs.

Chance of a collision between any two random files is the birthday problem, isn't it? That would be one in 2^64 for MD5 (square root of 2^128). That's a pretty low probability for a few TB of data. Anyway, just do a straight compare if the hashes collide.

I don't agree. As long as you have sufficient vertical resolution (1080 isn't enough, 1200 is ok, 1440 is great for me at the moment), then horizontal resolution is fine at either 16:9 or 16:10. In fact, at (say) 1200 vertical, 16:9 would give you a more useful monitor (won't ever exist, of course).

1920x1080 is, of course, an abomination for work and I think this is where the hatred of 16:9 comes from. Whereas 2560x1440 looks great from where I'm sitting.

How do I give one of them my interview coding test?

It did stand out. I lived for a time in Windsor (about eight miles from Heathrow right under the flight path) in 1980 when all the planes you mention were flying.

The noise Concorde made (whether on approach or departure) was astonishing and significantly louder than any other plane.

Yes they do (in the majority case). Think about the extended phenotype.
