[C++][Cppcon 2018] Chandler Carruth “Spectre: Secrets, Side-Channels, Sandboxes, and Security”

CppCon 2018 - Chandler Carruth "Spectre - Secrets, Side-Channels, Sandboxes,
and Security"

It's hard to take note of this intriguing talk.
Every bits is informative.



However, there's one thing mentioned by Chandler during the prolog I would consider most important is 'ethic'.

Seen people become cocky and try to sabotage company's project due to various of reasons, a colleague of my friend's company who's holding an h1b visa tried/and did this due to consider getting low paid.
This is a serious concern in USA and also against laws.
Some how the words go around and the hiring committee could spot people with this trait from being hired.
