They're not the only one, I recently bought a Nissan and I have to pay around the same amount for a new sd card which contains the update to be shipped which is a waste of time and money compared to just opening Google Maps every morning.
You may have dodged a bullet because if someone has a "only one answer approach to interviewing" then the inability to see other possible solutions may carry over into their daily work as well.
If Bob gets in trouble with his manager for not prioritizing his features over security features and Alice gets in trouble with her manager for letting the security issues happen then it sounds like an issue with management not working together to set aside time for security related issues as part of the development cycle for the product.
Seems like a lot of work to stop users who will probably simply not view the site anyways. It would be interesting to know if having these anti-adblocker techniques makes people turn off their adblockers to use the site.
All it takes is one or two extra pills to get high from the standard opioid pain prescription. It would've been nice to see this mentioned in the article but it seems pretty light on content.
I look forward to seeing more articles that find ways to game the interviewing process. Perhaps showing interviewers how easily their hiring process could be gamed will 'inspire' improvements in interviewing.
Good point, it's very important to have balance and be able to adhere to the "And wisdom to know the difference." part. I do think that it is important to have the experience of having too much 'internal locus of control' in order to get a good feel for that.
Github makes millions of dollars per year and has a huge amount of users so the product is proven good. While I understand the need to be appreciative of Github, giving the organization a bit of user feedback is not going to hurt them very much. The response assumes that this is written because of the "Dear Github" letter.

Technologies: Javascript, Python, Flask, Go, NodeJS, most main flavors of SQL, MongoDB, CSS/LESS/SASS. Also familiar with Scala, Ruby and some other languages and am willing to work with anything except PHP and Java. C# is fine though cause Windows dev tools "tend" to be easy to use.

I'm very active on Twitter so even if I don't seem like a good candidate feel free to add me on Twitter at @SylvesterWillis because I'm always willing to talk about tech stuff.
EDIT: Formatting since I'm a lurker not a poster.
There's a site that I've been using for a while called https://www.sharelatex.com/ which has the ModernCV template which I use for my resume.
This reminds me of some reading/watching I've done in the past about how video game demos can actually hurt sales in the long run[1] which sounds very similar to what you've stated.
Was the client in the finance field? I've heard of something similar be used to ensure that employees weren't doing anything 'fishy'.
Using a drone to look for devices that are sending GPS signals in an area.
http://jobtipsforgeeks.com/2013/08/09/pretty/ is a good read for someone who is interested in finding a recruiter. One thing that the writer didn't mention was that some recruiters focus on jobs for a specific tech stack so you may want to look around their profile for a bit on LinkedIn to get a good idea of what they focus on.
It will be interesting to see how gaming download services such as Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, etc would be affected as there as the file size of video games gets larger due to advances in the video game industry.
There's actually a site called http://dontbreakthechain.com/ which serves as a bit of motivation for getting personal development work done. I've had issues with remembering to check the site everyday even if the work gets done, but perhaps making it the homepage would help.
A mention of http://www.hypepotamus.com/ might be useful.
