I co-manage https://hackerone.com/googleplay and the top contributor there probably makes 5x - 10x of an average software engineering salary for his home country. Not a lot of hackers care about Android app security so ther

Great summary! By nature of my job (eng lead of a major mobile malware detection team) I have a lot of startups pitch their ML solutions to me. A couple of thoughts: - There are no publicly available data sets for training available. There

I've had the exact same experience with Vint ( https://www.joinvint.com/ ) - Go through personal trainers until you find one you like and then move off the app. The hourly cost will be lower but the personal trainer will

The website a weekend project, not something I care for whether people use it. On average it has five to ten visitors a day unless linked to from somewhere big which only happens like twice a year.

Possibly, but not on the free tier. Anyway, our current plan can only handle 20 concurrent connections to Postgres and I am not planning to pay more to satisfy spikes.

Thank you for the note. Whenever salar.ly is linked from somewhere popular I have to spin up more Heroku instances.

I shared an office with one other person at Microsoft and have the same at Google. That doesn't mean that everybody has that at either company.

I got the silent treatment twice when trying to interview at Yahoo and once with Google. In all cases it was at the stage between initial recruiter contact and agreeing on a date for the first phone screen. I later found out (by looking up

There is a grace period of (I think) 14 days if your visa expires. There is no legally defined grace period if you are fired before your visa expires.

They do report the actual wage. Except that's the employer can choose to specify it as a range between a minimum and a maximum. This is optional, it's also possible to specify just one number.

We probably used the same dataset but when we developed, most DoL database dumps were 404 links and so salar.ly only has data for 2011 and 2012. I sent an email to the DoL to fix their links but haven't heard back yet.

It's the actual wage data. Actually it's the maximum number of the range that an employer can report to the DoL. Source: I am one of the two people behind the site and for my two H-1B visas the maximum salary that was reported for my visa w

I hope this does not spell the end of UBERx ( http://blog.uber.com/2012/07/03/sf-vehicle-choice/ ). As of right now, I can still see UBERx cars on the map so I have my fingers crossed.

About 2: You would have to copy the overwritten bytes to another place in memory to execute them later. As the length of x86 instructions is not fixed you would need a whole disassembler to find out what bytes belong to what instruction. Ea

No reference, but I'm a H-1B holder and I file FBARs. I am part of a German Expat forum and the opinion there is pretty cut and dry that H-1Bs have to file. Every year that forum has a big thread to make sure everybody is aware of it. Havin

I had my H-1B visa transferred between companies last week. Took seven business days, not months. My new company paid for premium processing, which is supposedly guaranteed to complete the process in 15 calendar days.

This is exactly why I moved from Germany to the US. I was tired of being on the end of the salary bell curve at international conferences. Higher salary and lower taxes mean that my disposable post-tax income is now 3.5 times what it was in
