Why not build and application that will automaticaly charge device once the battery is down.

*Fall's off the Moon* .I have to break my silence on this one... . . ...Ingenious!

Great idea. Simple anonymous beacons for electricity. . .
I think, when you plug your phone, the App should ASK 'every' time whether or not You want to share power source... <<The App should naturally have a bias for "No">>
-------
Funjosh, I will get back to you when I get to the moon.

Wow! Nice. God bless the Nigerian Army!

Already? ... I smell something...

Oboy!! Thieves everywhere

passey:
@ Pendrotech and Omaobe, Please accept my congratulations for making it to the SRD.
This is the much I can tell you without compromising the integrity of the recruitment process:

1. Ensure that you acknowledge the receipt of the invitation and inform them if you can make it or not. Shell is one of the most organised companies and they will need this info. to prepare for your SRD.
2. The dress code is formal Business dress code. so a good conservative color suit should suffice, even though shell says they do not asses dressing.
3. Plan to be at the venue of the SRD in good time. if you can find an accommodation close to the venue, that will be the best for you.
4. There is no specific academic way to prepare for the SRD so don't listen to people telling you that they have past questions and stuff, all na lie.
5. The recruiters(at least from my experience) are nice, helpful but very professional. They sabi their work wella), so the most important thing is to be yourself, don't try to form guru or try to impress anybody, they can see through your mask.
6. on the first day, you will have a non- assessed session where you will have the opportunity to meet recent shell grads, that is employees of not more that three years or so. you will get the chance to ask them anything you want to ask them about shell, working condition and all but please professional don't ask questions you should not ask... find out what that is. of course shell dey provide coorrect grub but don't get carried away, you are on business.
7. The recruitment process is tough, educating, enlightening, and demanding so you have to try to be at the top of your game.
8. The world process is centred round CAR. you should understand that by now!
9. Practice your e-tray from the link in the briefing pack.
10. I don't know if you are tech or commercial but there will definitely be a group exercise where you will be put together and given a task to work on as a group. Be yourself, respect other people, speak up if you have something to say, you must speak up because unless you talk there will be nothing to assess you on. BUT don't talk for talking sake, no gra-gra, sabi-sabi.... I recommend you watch my favorite reality show (NO BE STUPID, BIG BROTHER DUMB SHIT), watch Donald Trump's THE APPRENTICE, seriously.
11. there will be an intervie like the one you had on the phone interview, so prepare to demonstrate your CAR
12. I DON'T CARE IF SHELL GIVES ME A JOB OR NOT (I KNOW I DESERVE IT AND WILL DEFINITELY ADD VALUE TO SHELL, IF EMPLOYED) BUT I WANT TO SAY WITHOUT FEAR OF CONTRADICTION THAT THEIR RECRUITMENT PROCESS IS WORLD CLASS AND THE VERY BEST SO FAR I HAVE SEEN. SO DON'T GO THERE FLAUNTING YOUR FIRST CLASS, HALF CLASS AND STUFF....NO ...NO...NO... SHELL LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR "EDUCATION" AND NEVER YOUR "QUALIFICATION". As long as you are at the SRD, it doesn't matter which school you attended. I was the only one in my SRD without an Overseas degree but (to the glory of God, NA YOLA I GO SCHOOL FOR NORTH, AM FROM THE NORTH TOO) I know I have a world class education and was among the ones God favored with success at the SRD.
13. You will be given a background document on the first day which you are required to study over the night. The whole SRD processes, Case studies, group exercise, will be based on that background.
14. Be prepared to learn from the experience because it is great and you can't find it in any Nigerian recruitment institution. No god father here just YOU AND YOURSELF.
15. FINALLY BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IN PERFECT CONTROL OF ALL THE HAPPENINGS IN THE UNIVERSE AND BE PATIENT AFTER THE SRD COS even if you succeed you may not get the JOB immediately or even eventually(I learnt this from some people, don't know if true or false)

16.Shell recruitment process will surely introduce YOU to YOU!!!
17. keep a link and make friends from the SRD who knows if God just wanted you to meet someone there and not a job at shell?

18.. I will be praying for you ALL and if you have any questions PM your boy, I still remain loyal(Don't ask me specific questions or past questions and such nonesense)


19. change your usernames to: omaobe@shell.com and pendrotech@shell.com because you will definitely be my colleagues in SHELL....

20. PRAY... PRAY.... PRAY....

peace and luv

~You are sighted.... :-) ... ...these sounds like 20 "Life Saving Rules" ... I thought its 12? :-)

Apparently, He donated something huge to GEJ campaigns... Should GEJ return, business shall boom....

#SMH... and we are here fighting ourselves.

^^^above poster is right.

Nobody in his right sense would generate business-critical public pins/codes without a measure of cryptography


The first line of defense is your key generation. It involves measurable PRNG(Pseudo-Random Number Generator) passes.
There is a whole lot of Ph.D skills required.

This diminishes the likelihood of ever reverse- engineering generated keys to reproduce the generator(s).

The second is to frustrate anyone from doing it. ...limited phone lines... Limited tries.
Even if you have 10,000 lines, 3 tries each = 30,000 tries wouldn't be enough sample space.

Secondly, our PCs aren't suitable for Cracking.
Even a 64GB RAM, Octacore CPU can't even do much in cracking high bit cryptos...

Now, that's one good use of a Super Computer! .... Every country could use one as a defense and cracking machine. They are so powerful enough to break commercial grade cryptographic setup within minutes.

I hope I made little sense....

Nothing new .... It's a hit. But I am still trying to place my hands on the usefulness of this post....

Meanwhile, I think the guy who invented ties was trying to commit suicide then he saw himself in the mirror & thought... "Wait, this looks nice."

Shut it! Keybord come to mind first!

Why ? ...if I may politely ask?

mnairaland:
I have seen your class. It is a most excellent and efficient class. How ever I have some questions and concerns.

...please ask...

Harmilly:
the keyboard has a problem and yu can also format it here's my dial if yu wanna buy d keyboard n format it. 08136537584 yu can msg on watsap

Ingenious!!! With the little details the OP provided , you could decipher the keyboard as (one of) the problems?

... You are either a Quack, con artist, or a wizard... (I doubt the latter)

From Busta rhymes to... Busta broke .... #(head I mean)

After reading the comments here... I am certain that Nigeria has a very long journey...

Comments are so pathetic!! ...evidently, Nigerian leaders are true reflections of their followers (shortsighted people)

I urgently need a very good python programmer to work on a 1 Month Project Oversea, any interested applicant should contact Mr Adeniyi on 07052017052

Sir, why is every post of yours urgent?
...secondly, there's no 'brief' description... we cannot be jacks of all trades you know. . .

Anyway... if its a serious stuff and you are sure it's not going to exceed a month...
I may be able to use my time off to make a few extra cash.....
you can contact me @ |||| ionogu (_AT_) acm.org ||||

I just took some time to code a little implementation

... I am using a standard container to make the Mathematical set
...I implemented a compile-time switch depending on the size of the data

WHAT TO KNOW:

1. The MathSet class is a Generic And User Friendly Frontend Code that uses an underlying container to store and manipulate it's data.
2. That container is not accessed directly, rather, it's accessed through an Adaptor class...
3. it is privately inherited at compile time to maintain some design invariants
4. To use another kind of 'special' container, all you need to do is to create an Adaptor class for that container and implement all member functions of MathSet<>

Hmmn....
I just took a brief look at your code using a Code formatter;

That's a good one... A few gotchas though:

1. In the era of C++11/14, you should minimize the use of raw pointers, rather use, Unique pointers
2. As a rule of thumb, your exception classes should always have a grandfather, std::exception...
3. Drawing of Venn diagram is an entirely separate concern, the best you want to do is to provide Adapter classes
4. Good use of templates, the STL provides the fundamental set operations we need such as:
-- -- std::set_difference
-- -- std::set_intersection
-- -- std::set_union
+++ This effectively reduces our worries:

I must commend you, neat code. I love it. Your coding style is consistent.
And your implementation is brilliant sir.
I will try and write some code and post

mobolaji88:
This is fake and lacks public interest...your cookies are visible to js, your site is prone to vpn, and we dont even know who you are....how do we hold anyone accountable for misconduct? How can we tell if the Op or someone else is cheating? A e-voting like this needs a credible team of well known, neutral and trustable members not some guy in some corner...

Calm down!!!!

Admittedly, the OP may not be a professional(from some of his statement) . But at least you could have come softly on him.

I think its more of a fun platform. . . I love the idea. Thought of it before.

OP, sincerely, I doubt much on the value of what you are holding on to as Intellectual property.


... I read all posts... And I have just a few cents to add.

* There's no fool proof way to stop cheaters. The best that can be done is to make the cheating process really hard... ..and that is by bookkeeping... (storing some data uniquely)

* at a very high efficiency, you will require some signup and authorization mechanism...
Which can turn users off... Believe me I am always reluctant to register with websites.

* using GSM number seems to be the best choice to me. But as mentioned, trust issues arises...

* email is good too. Type your email... Check your email for authorization link... And use that link to vote....
---- I like this option... It's quite easy to scramble authorization link with specific email address... You may want to use a form of simply hashing + (systematically salting) the email address to produce the link. ...
--- you can program your salting algorithm / procedure to change everyday, forever....
--- have the string result scrambled by switching some character positions.
--- a 128 length alphanumeric string will be very difficult to guess correctly.

* You can also have inputs for STATE, PARTY, EMAIL that must be filled... ..sent to your server And a direct voting link is sent to your email address..(it wouldn't stop non Nigerian voters... But hey, you are one step ahead!!)

* it really depends on what you want anyway...


* AND OHH.. One correction, Mac-address is not "unique" , hence a poor security choice... I mean, it can be emulated.

* You aren't dealing with raw sockets are you?
Even so... how the hell, are you gonna get the MAC Address of a User using HTTP over layers of TCP/IP routing and NAT? ...I want to learn ohh...

Timothy

@OriginalPoster,

Please, work on your English grammar and language skills.
If you really want to be taken seriously....

3. You may want to sound enthusiastic and professional.
4. Let there be a correspondence between your answers and the answers you gave in your Online Assessments
5. Make sure the Interviewer is following you...(i.e before you give an answer, you may want to give a brief 30sec background)
6. :::Your questions will mostly be, What did you do when....?
....Capacity:: ... What initiatives have you taken? ...etc
....Achievement:: ... How did you react to failures? ...etc
....Relationship:: ... how did you work and manage a team? ..etc

...Goodluck;; God bring you over to Shell!
--source: Will tell you later(^_^)

----by the way, I haven't seen your CV, but I like your achievements!

Omaobe:

....okkay., if you don't like that, then you must add value to your degree ...most probably by getting your hands dirty with programming.

;;please Note:::: Without programming, You can actually get most jobs mathematicians get::::

Make Budget to spend over 100k within the next few months...

Sell, your expensive phone and replace with a cheaper one that can surf the internet well and tether Hotspot.


Get a fairly good laptop if you don't have one... (Battery strength should be your priority)

Get a small inverter that can power your PC for hours. ...get a touch light also.

Get some ebooks, find a cheap internet plan
.... Use ya existing knowledge and brain...

..after several months of persistence and enduring frustrations... Viola!!!

You will then have the extra advantage to get a job..

What in the name of Bjarne Stroustrup is going on here? ...
The code snippets aren't correct.

That's so not good...
