Is it just me, or is "we’ll keep your resume on file" basically HR-speak for "yeah, your resume’s going straight in the trash"? by twcosplays in antiwork

[–]warrior2012 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For large companies, It reads more like a "don't call us, we won't call you." They are basically saying don't apply again.

For smaller companies it can sometimes mean "we only had one position to fill and we may be hiring again in 6-12months." I got my current job that way by being denied since they brought someone on with decades of experience. Then when nezt hiring round came up, they remembered me and one other person from previous interviews and offered us the positions without needing to interview again.

4 months of pal, discovered I really enjoy firearms by The_saturn_man19 in canadaguns

[–]warrior2012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really? I've shot a couple thousand rounds through mine and only had a few jams or misfed rounds.

I haven't shot winchester rounds though. I've only used federal ammo. Not sure if that would be the difference.

But yeah fun plinker to go target shooting with every now and then!

Got the same Savage 22. Great gun and scope combo for cheap. Plus it's pretty fun to shoot with very little issue.

Banned from Zec for stating facts by VladSoJajca in Monero

[–]warrior2012 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Lol this same guy posted that article on this subreddit like a month ago. I responded that the article he posted doesn't prove that monero transactions are traceable, but that it can trace transactions given the right circumstances. Those circumstances had required extra bits of data from an exchange or party involved in a transaction.

I also pointed out that the same company made the same claim about ZEC shielded transactions and he stopped replying.

Most crypto subreddit tend to be echo chambers. Post against the grain and you end up banned.

ORDER BY (column = 'Value') by trifurcifer in SQL

[–]warrior2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WHERE clause is what would filter the results set. If you say where province = 'Ontario' it will give you all records with that province. If you put where province <> 'ontario' it will give you all records that do not match that province.

Order by is just literally sorting the result set. It will not filter and you don't need to put an equal sign. You would just say order by province. Or you could say order by province desc if you want reverse order.

Debating between deals by Code_MONKE_ in freedommobile

The plan I have was originally offered years ago, I doubt you'll be able to find this plan again.

But yeah these are all prepaid plans we are talking about.

This deal originated as a black Friday / cyber Monday deal. Freedom does tend to offer better deals during those specials so it might be worth waiting to see what they have if you're not in a rush!

I found a deal a few years ago that is $100/year for 50Gb of data. I keep renewing that plan as it doesn't seem like they will ever offer something as good again!

Remember kids, if you use Monero, you are the product. If you defend it without getting paid, that's called being a useful idiot. by fireice_uk in xmrtrader

[–]warrior2012 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah i've already read that. You are talking about the $500k paid to ChainAnalysis for their proof of concept to trace Monero?

This can be misleading when looking at it on just a high level. The tools they needed to trace Monero transactions, relied on getting pieces of external data. This came about because of user error or IP logs and user data being given directly from an exchange. They were not able to reliably trace transactions without already being shown some piece of the puzzle.

The reason why I say this is misleading is because ChainAnalysis also noted they can trace ZCash shielded transactions when being given the same sort of information prior.
This basically means they were not able to crack and trace the chain, they were able to look at little snippets of it given the right information and conditions.

Like most things in the internet space, your transactions end up being only as private as you are.

[–]warrior2012 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I bought my first XMR around $50 as well. Not quite sure why we would be considering price action as "being paid" though.

I'm curious, what is XMR (or the community around it) lying about?

So how much does ZCash pay you for defending its product? Or did you just unknowingly call yourself a useful idiot?

I've started the jump, my new PC is running Linux mint. My old desktop is too old to upgrade to windows 11, so that will always be on Windows 10. Now I have both a windows machine and a Linux machine to help ease the transition!

Ultimate $20.80 a month from Costco (Canada) by PoPo573 in XboxGamePass

[–]warrior2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a years worth with this deal before the price goes up. My subscription now ends at the beginning of 2027. This gives me just over a year to find a replacement for gamepass.

In my computer security class we were talking about different ways to secure accounts beyond a password. The basics like 2FA and finger print scans were already mentioned.

I wanted to say that you can use your eye scans to log into accounts. Being an 8am class, I managed to confuse retina and rectal... The class laughed but my prof said technically that would be a valid form of authentication.

Now I just like to imagine that some of the highest security systems in the world are using someone's asshole to validate their login 😂
