I have been pretty positive about assignments as an assessment process since it enables seeing actual work instead of memorisation skills, but out of the few times I have had one of these…

• 1 of them wanted me to agree to not sharing my work anywhere, so that they would be the only ones keeping my output. I realised they just wanted free work and declined.
• 1 of them required me to run an “AI benchmarking” thingy, which ran connected to the network. Essentially, they wanted free CPU cycles to run whatever model they were running. I dropped it after reading 0.1% of the code in the repo.

Doesn’t that have its own set of problems internationally?
High exchange rates/fees, delays and such?

Does it allow receiving from others?
Hopefully others don’t require making a Wise account.

That part, I already understand.
But you needed to have some sort of excuse for such things back when smartphones were new.

I think the compartmentalisation concepts were there from the feature-phone era.

Don’t they also have some NFC payment stuff there too?
Though that’s probably connected to the debit/credit card and not really a separate interface.

If you have a smartphone, you get to use UPI (United Payments Interface).
If you don’t, you are basically limited to a certain amount of free withdrawal per month, which is set to prevent getting an outcry from BPL (below poverty line) people, which would otherwise be bad for elections.

I was considering pushing for open source UPI apps for Linux devices (and providing my services for development), to reduce India’s reliance on Google and Android but considering recent events, I believe that is not really going to align with the Government’s plans.

This doesn’t make sense to me.
Why do they even need it to be that way?

Compartmentalisations was one of the basic points in system design methodology that I thought (because I read it somewhere) smartphones would also be built upon. So why compromise the whole thing to a supply chain attack?

They seem to have plans for those types too.
Withdrawing cash is going to be taxed.

Nah, they’re mostly just going to endlessly harass you for it and wait for you to bribe them.
They will randomly send dacoits in uniform to beat you up and jail you and make it harder for you to earn a living until they get their birthright bribes.

This also boils down to who is in control of the data.
Whoever gets to approve the data requests, needs to be answerable to those whose footage is being recorded.

If footage is asked for, then such a request needs to be logged publicly, with the requester’s identifiable information and stored as a permanent record, regardless of approval.

If any legislation is to be made regarding this, it is important to keep in mind that incomplete footage can be more harmful and will be misused.

Then comes the point where cops don’t really care about correctly solving a case and are happy with propping any random citizen as a criminal. And considering how easily they can get away with harassment even after being exposed, it honestly doesn’t make sense to me at all that they be given absolutely any extra privileges.

From my standpoint, if I can’t use a local police camera to get informed on who cut the brake-cable of my bicycle, then there might as well be no police camera.

Everytime I have personally seen the police go out of their way to do something, they never had any legitimate purposes.

That’s how it is done.
If it is a public camera, it has to be a public record.
And if not, then anyone having access to the feed, has to have their whole life (both work and personal) be available as a public record.

If not, then you now have cases where most people can’t afford to defend themselves from malicious cop allegations.
To prevent this, anyone arrested, pre-trial has to have access to all searches done by cops, related to the allegation and ability to pull-up 100% of their own footage anytime near the event in question.

If any part of the footage is deleted, due to “technical issues” like, “the footage was deleted” or “some of the cameras were not working”, then the arrest is illegal and the police department is responsible for compensation.

idiot’s

well if you throw them some money… they could hire someone to fix those issues…

Even better… Hire someone to fix those issues and submit an MR.

Open to ideas for alternatives.
I had opened it with the intent of using it for receiving money, but didn’t really need it until just recently.
So, just waiting until I actually end up requiring to receive payments, to open an account somewhere.

As far as KYC goes, the payment processor should ask the Bank (the one that I am connecting to the account) to verify my identity.
I can then login to the bank via the respective bank’s website, find an entry with the PayPal account no. and be able to Authorise the request.
That way, PayPal knows that I am a legitimate account holder, without requiring to make my videos.
Also, casual videos should not be considered a valid method of verification anywhere.

I don’t care as much about privacy…
I deleted my PayPal account as they asked me for a KYC video.
That’s just ID theft waiting to happen.

Picture

Usually worth around a few million characters.

Navigation is a need.
It can be done without JS

You don’t even need to be competent. Being obsessed works too.

The problem is, a manager will just get an intern with 0 web experience and hand them WordPress.

Another major reason for using JS is dropdown menus and panels. You need to either write code to listen for the click and reveal/hide it as needed, or you have to do weird CSS tricks that are usually inferior in UX to a JavaScript implementation, or you have to bastardize the form dropdown selector into your general purpose dropdown.

Look for text “HTML’s got expandable sections baked in”

I had actually given up on expandable sections for my website (because I didn’t want anymore JS than the dark/light switcher I made) until I found this.

Why not both?

std::vector ulUtil {"GNU", "Alpine", "BusyBox", "Toybox"};
int currentUtil = 0;
do
{
	try
	{
		OS(ulUtil[currentUtil], "Linux").use();
	}
	catch (USER::Bored & err)
	{
		currentUtil++;
		continue;
	}
}
while ((currentUtil < ulUtil.size()) || (findMoreUtil(ulUtil)));

At this point, just get a bicycle without a battery.

Of course, sometimes you need to move heavy stuff and there’s nothing you can do about it, bu I tend to save enough, not owning a car/motorbike that I can afford to pay for a pickup on those occasions.

I don’t get why they feel the need to keep it a secret.
Google takes GeoLocation data with maps and people happily use it. I even put reviews for places I go to.

If they were to just be above board about it while selling the stuff, they would have much happier customers and they could even get some legitimate use out of the data, like traffic status that Google does.

I’m not a fan of Google, but must say, they definitely managed to do better in this regard.
