eh if it's something you figure out in the interview maybe. i've got no interest in seeing someone's algo that they memorized

reversing a linked list is trivial nowhere near asking someone to, say, detect a cycle in the list, which is a problem with a known solution, but if you don't know the solution you probably aren't going to come up with it on the spot seeing as how it was an unsolved problem for a long time

getting a bachelor's in CS kinda sucks cause it turns out that all that stuff's been done already and what you actually do is use a library. actual value of my degree is, uh, I can spot o(n^2) loops pretty good. i bought some algo books a while back just in case i needed to do some work where it wasn't immediately apparent what library to use, and nope. have never needed them

sometimes its relevant to know which library data structure/algorithm is appropriate, usually n is too small for that to be relevant though

ban this project and don't let advertising companies build infrastructure

quote:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ann-cavoukian-sidewalk-data-privacy-1.4872223

A privacy expert who resigned this week from her role as an advisor to Sidewalk Labs, the Google sister company set to build a "smart" neighbourhood on Toronto's waterfront, is concerned that the "treasure trove" of data collected there will be vulnerable to attacks.

Cavoukian said Sunday she chose to resign after a Thursday meeting between Sidewalk Labs and Waterfront TO, the organization responsible for revitalizing the city's lakeshore.

It was there that Sidewalk Labs revealed that, while it has committed to stripping all of the data it collects of personal identifiers, it could not guarantee that other groups participating in the project would do the same. "When I heard that, I knew I had to resign," Cavoukian said in an interview on CBC News Network.

The 12-acre smart neighbourhood, called Quayside, would undoubtedly amass an extraordinary quantity of data from sensors embedded into the physical infrastructure. A key part of Cavoukian's advisory role was helping Sidewalk implement privacy-protecting measures into the design of the area. Most critically, she has advocated for stripping any given data point of all personally identifiable details right away using well-established techniques, as there is no opportunity for people to actually consent to collection of the information. For its part, Sidewalk Labs has committed to doing that.

On Monday, however, the company proposed that all of the data generated by Quayside be kept in a "civic data trust." This way, no one entity would own all of it. "This trust would approve and control the collection of, and manage access to, urban data originating in Quayside," wrote Alyssa Harvey Dawson, head of data governance at Sidewalk Labs, in an online post.

But there was a catch, Cavoukian said. De-identification of data by the various stakeholders in the trust would not be mandatory, only "encouraged" by Sidewalk Labs.

"That's not good enough," Cavoukian said. "The only way to address this issue to ensure privacy � which I must do � is to de-identify at source at the time of collection."

In her resignation letter sent to Sidewalk Labs on Friday, Cavoukian phrased her concerns this way:

"Just think of the consequences: If personally identifiable data are not de-identified at source, we will be creating another central database of personal information (controlled by whom?), that may be used without data subjects' consent, that will be exposed to the risks of hacking and unauthorized access," she wrote. "As we all know, existing methods of encryption are not infallible and may be broken, potentially exposing the personal data of Waterfront Toronto residents! Why take such risks?"

Cavoukian's departure comes weeks after TechGirls Canada founder Saadia Muzaffar left her role on the advisory panel. Muzaffar said she had "profound concerns" about apparent "a lack of leadership regarding shaky public trust" and what she considered unacceptable questions around privacy and intellectual property.

lol that they expected anything else to happen when they added Ann Cavoukian, who is very good, to this mix

that is approximately the least surprising thing ever. they have been cagey and evasive about their data policies since day one, cavoukian was hired to put those fears to rest. presumably they didn't count on her actually doing her job.

the people running the waterfront toronto board, because reasons. do not ask what those reasons are. also ignore the fact that we just ousted the ceo over issues of transparency relating to this deal

i've been mocking this poo poo since day one, for exactly the reason you mentioned. their rfp is nearly 200 pages of blue-sky bullshit and part of their proposal assumed they'd be allowed to bypass the permit and approvals process and just build whatever because the red tape is too restrictive for innovators
