About: Been doing embedded Android/Linux C++ for the past ~5 years (user space, mainly middleware and C++ web stack, decent amount of kernel work and standalone binaries in C, written / updated several company apps for Android). Looking to move into a senior role, leveraging my leadership experience in the military, and or pure Android development. Options in the embedded space are pretty slim in NYC and I feel Android would be a better way forward. Open to cleared positions, active clearance.
(Just FYI I don't know if I could put a source / article on this, but this information was information that Robert Hanssen allegedly leaked to the Russians [Aldrich Ames also leaked similar things and a lot of the same HUMINT sources]. I initially read this in a Robert Hanssen non-fic book a while ago)
Apparently, during the construction of the embassy in (edit: Moscow) -East Berlin-, the construction company (surely at the direction of the KGB / GRU) placed passive bugs in the concrete (they only transmit when blasted with microwaves at the right frequency and would avoid counter-intel sweeps unless active). They built the buildings almost pre-fab style, laying the concrete out then assembiling it. It's then when the bugs were placed.
The west eventually learned about this, if I recall correctly, it was from a Russian defector by the codename of Mother.
It was called Operation Top Hat (that's where i'd start googiling). The US knew the embassy in (edit: Moscow) -East Berlin- was bugged on the first 3 floors by the Russians as well as having secret hollow support columns with clandestine access to the building. The decision was made to just not use the first 3 floors of the embassy for classified discussion. The remaining floors were built by Americans and undoubtedly under FBI/OGA watch.
IIRC there was also a network of tunnels leading from the embassy in West Berlin to under the wall to listening posts.
I was at this event. Marilee was seated directly in front of my girlfriend and I (the stage / panel and the back of Marilee's head pictured: https://imgur.com/a/GEapw). The interruptions were real. I was one of the men in Marilee's facebook post making comments about the sexism. Immediately following Marilee's comment, the entire place erupted with applause. On the way out, several people asked my GF if she was the one who made the comment, with one person saying "That was the most important thing to happen here today".
I'm an ex Army bomb technician, let me help you.
You know WMDs were found in Iraq right? ..Unless we're not calling stockpiled chemical weapons WMDs anymore.
I'm a pixel xl 128 owner too. As long as we're going down this route, has anyone else noticed weird 'refresh' lines drawing over top of images? They appear very briefly and very faintly (and only in chrome as far as I've noticed, may be a chrome(ium) bug).
I was/(am?) a bomb tech, I didn't dig up a damn thing, we were too highly valued of an asset..And only having a small handful of us to support an entire theater of war makes us exceedingly rare.
Got called out on quite a few. One in particular was a dude out at a COP in the middle of no where Farah, taking a piss next to a Hesco, looked up and saw a mine poking out of the barrier. Afghanistan is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. It's not surprising.
Ex US Army bomb technician here (eod). This entire story is somewhat of a legend among our community (those that actually went through nukes at least).
Added to our (me and the SO) calendar for the weekend. Looking forward to seeing it.
IIRC, flask deploys straight to AWS's elastic beanstalk (gunicorn) with minimal configuration, I even think it's given as an example in EB's docs. I've deployed an EB hosted flask instance (2 ec2 instances behind a load balancer with zero issues) in production.
I was active Army EOD (TS-SCI) when both Chelsea's and Snowden's leaks happened. We were the opposite. Forbidden from accessing WL at all, even on our personal computers. No real way to enforce it obviously, but the threat was the fact (specifically with Snowden) that you accessed TS-SCI material that was outside the 'scope' / compartment of your SCI access.
