Well, OK maybe Richard was a poor example. What I'm saying is: some Richards go by Rich, but few goes by Chard, and certainly nobody interprets Richard as a combination of two name components "Ri + Chard" (or "Rich + Ard"). The probability a typical Korean would consider their given name as a combination of two parts is probably higher than that of Richards, but not much higher.

Maybe a better example is Anderson, which historically meant "Anders's son", but few living Andersons would consider "Anders" an acceptable way of writing their family name.
I'm not really sure if I'm in the minority or not, but I really don't see a crime happening here. Maybe you ground them and take away their phones, but, I mean, these kids are under the guardianship of their parents and are presumably in a relationship that both sets of parents have (at the very least) acknowledged. It's not like he just sent her the video out of the blue with no warning.

I don't see a crime here, when both parties are in a relationship and both consent to the transaction.

I dunno. Maybe I'm naive or something.

This is cute, but devolves into a maintenance nightmare very quickly. It is much easier to look at a sever list and see "db001" than it is to see "spiderman" and remember if that is a DB or not. Extrapolate that out to hundreds of hosts and you kind of get the picture.

In a modern world where the machines might be homogeneous and VMs/containers above define the actual role, the machine might just be "host123" whereas the higher level services have specific names like "db001."

With service cataloging and discovery tools like Consul (disclaimer: I wrote it), there is an easy way to see a mapping of service name back down to the host it is on. So even if you're yelling to an ops person "hey db001 is having problems," the ops person can quickly map db001 down to host 319.

And with slightly more complex (but worth it, imo) naming, you can determine the rack, datacenter, etc. of a server just by the name.
Not really. It's a direct remake of a Abe's Oddysee, which was a 2D game. Sure, they could redo it entirely in 3D, and that might have it's own appeal if done well, but it wouldn't really be the same game.

Abe's Oddysee was a brilliantly made 2D platform/puzzle game, and it's gameplay kind of depended on the 2D design. Personally I'm happy see a remake of the game that works the same, but looks nicer. I'd also love to see a new 3D game in the same world, but it would make more sense as a new title.

Only the web load balancers are likely exposed to the public internet, along with some sort of bastion host. The rest are probably on your internal network and can't be accessed/queried anyways, so the names mean nothing to them.

If attackers ARE in your DC already, you're already hosed, and the few minutes that it would take them to determine that some obscure name like "host-a831f1" is the DB won't matter.

So in general, I believe optimizing for maintainability here (easier names) is more worth it than falsely believing that obscuring the names provides some level of security.

Though, if all your servers are able to be accessed from the public internet, it might be a different story. But that really isn't recommended.
Breathing compressed air tastes so funky sometimes, I hope it's just nitrogen causing the narcosis.

Looks to me like the living chamber is pressurized to match the ambient water pressure, so realistically a free diver could enter but would still have the same limited "bottom-time" as when they are using scuba at that depth,
otherwise the same decompression regime would be required upon ascent.

The conditioning of air for a relatively closed system
should not be expected to resemble or contain the same elements as an ordinary residential application where cooling is the main consideration and moisture removal is a side-effect of the most common apparatus in humid environments.

This rivalry between branches is probably the leading cause to the excessive military budgets the US has. Between the boondoggle that is the F35; the rivalry amongst the branches they would not compromise on a design so it had to do it all; to the ludicrous idea that super carriers have survivability in a world of submarines and drones.

By being separate it introduces coordination problems, results in duplicated systems, and an all around pissing contest.

I remember reading and solving this the problem as the end of the article (“A six inch high cylindrical hole is drilled through the center of a sphere. How much volume is left in the sphere?”) as a kid. I did it the hard way using the formula's, but the whole point of the puzzle was what this article called the "cheat" answer. It reduces the solution to utter simplicity by application of some elegant logic. It's not something of a cheat -- it's the whole point of the puzzle.

I really was a kid. I was taken in by Gardner's April 1st column that claimed among other things that a proven solution for "Chess" indicated that white would always win and that the opening move was P-KR4 (h4 in modern notation).

This gets brought up often, but side-by-side comparisons don't really work, because the languages are too different for them to be meaningful for anything but trivial expressions. To really understand Haskell, you need to somewhat unlearn Java - or at least, stop thinking in it (in terms of objects, state and method calling).

I think a good approach to thinking differently is to look how data structures are done - most programmers recognize arrays, lists, stacks and queues, but might be confused as to how you would implement such thing without side effects. A great resource to explain this is Okasaki's Purely Functional Data Structures[1], although it doesn't use Haskell at all, the ideas are relevant, and you can work through all of the examples implementing Haskell equivalents.

You're thinking logically, it really is the rest of the world that's crazy in this case. Two teens, in a relationship, who can legally have sex with each other (and likely have) what is the fuss about?
I feel like we ought to be burning someone as a witch after watching that.
The problem isn't just that the F-35 is multirole but is trying to cater to the various quirks of multiple services. I mentioned it upthread, but an example of this is the very shape of the aircraft was determined in large part due to the Marines' vertical take off requirement. This necessitated a huge lifting fan in the fuselage, which had major ramifications on the maneuverability of the aircraft and the pilot's visibility out of the cockpit. Then there are all the modifications made to the C variant to accommodate carrier landings for the Navy.

The end result is that you have an airframe that was meant to save money by being common between all three services which has ended up with a parts commonality of only 25-30%[1] and whose performance has suffered because of the requisite compromises made to chase that goal.

I think one of the other big things that gets lost in these conversations is that the F-35 was meant to be cheap and widely fielded. The problem is that the program's bloating to the point that they're getting too expensive to field in numbers that would replace the existing force.

The response is usually that the high tech gadgetry in these planes will save the day. That's problematic. This is going back to the F-22, but RAND ran a widely-circulated simulated
conflict in the Straight of Taiwan a few years back[2]. The result was that the F-22s held their own... until they ran out of missiles and were overwhelmed by the sheer number of opposition planes that were being thrown at them.

So, basically, my answer to your question would be forget the super planes and focus on cheaper, more, and good enough. Accept that fighter, bomb truck, and stealth is a pick two proposition. Design something light, cheap, and modernized to fill the multirole capability of the F-16 today; it's very difficult to replace a $40M jet in the same kind of numbers with a $150M one. Supplement the F-22 with new production F-15SEs. Look into things like the Textron AirLand Scorpion to fill the permissive environment CAS role that the A-10C fills today.

KISS.

The issue, though, is when restaurants, grocers, etc. mistake a legitimate medical condition with a trendy fad diet and not take one's gluten-free requirements seriously (e.g. not paying attention to sources of gluten cross-contamination, or not paying attention to which ingredients actually have gluten). They should be erring on the safe side and assuming that all requests for gluten-free are due to a medical condition requiring it, but when the number of gluten-free fad dieters vastly exceeds the number of people who actually need a gluten-free diet, the likelihood of safe-side erring decreases without some other reason (like stronger requirements for "gluten-free" foods, including both ingredient and preparation standards).

Can you expand on that? Super carriers seem to be a central part of our ability to exert influence globally. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I agree. This is a completely victim-less "crime". The part that bothers me the most, however, is that the girlfriend is not being charged too. Explain that.

EDIT: Not that I think either of them should be charged, just that if one is, they both should be.

I really hope you aren't in the minority. I agree with you. I find it absurd that it's a crime for 2 dating teenagers to be "sexting". The worse part is when one is 18 and the other is 16 or 17 or something (depending on where you live laws are different). The things they be charged with is absurd. And then as a bonus they get to be on the sex predators database for the rest of their lives for having consensual sex with their significant others.
thank you, this is great!
I think it is very telling that the girl wasn't also charged.

Don't get me wrong, I think it is utterly crazy that ANYONE was charged in this case. It is a victimless crime. But reading between the lines there's a certain puritanical undertone to all of it.

In most other Western countries this would not be illegal in this way. But the US is extremely religious and has quite an unhealthy attitude to teenage sex (which ironically results in one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the Western world also).

I genuinely wonder how the people who preside over cases like this (e.g. cops, prosecutor, even the judge) sleep at night. They're actually doing more harm to everyone (including society) than the supposed "crime."

No, your opinion falls under "common sense" and "healthy attitude towards sexuality" – two traits that quite a number of members of our species seem to lack.
Like what? The facts of the case are pretty well laid out in the article. What are you suggesting they covered up that could really change our perspective of the case?

Even if the two teenagers were sleeping together that wouldn't change most people's perspective of this case, it certainly wouldn't change mine.
I didn't read the article but I am going to read your thesis. I have a question: Is it possible to have enterprise gamification? What should be the end goals - the achievements so to speak?

Isn't the whole idea of gamification(an idealization that didn't quite happen I guess) is to make crud work seem like fun? But, then, wouldn't repetition of the same joyless task be mundane to the point of being Sisyphean? I agree that a game achievement is fun to get but archiving mail day after day would get old pretty fast(I think).

And as a grad student myself I must ask, have you considered the possibility of gamification systems in academe(school in general)? I guess that's what the trophies(and convocations) are for, right?

IMO, interviews are a very imprecise way of gathering "facts" about a story. I'd be interested to hear some details about these stories where other kinds of research wouldn't have been a better way to obtain the information necessary for the story.

I just checked one of my shared documents. It has a 44 long “random” string, it’s alphanumeric with a few symbols. It looks like a version of base64, but let’s assume that it has only 50 characters to choice, so there are 50^44 = 5.7E74 possible addresses (2.9E79 if we assume base64). (Assuming they are using something like a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator.)

There are 7E9 live person, and assume that each one share less than 1000 documents, so there are less than 7E12 used addresses. Only one in 5.7E74 / 7E12 = 4.2E66 address has a document.

For a brute force attack, lets assume that the attacker use each valid ipv4 address 256^4 = 4.3E9 to do 1000000 tries per second, so there are 4.3E15 tries per second.

So the expected time to guess an address is 4.2E66 / 43.E15=9.8E50 seconds, that is 3.1E43 years. (For comparison, the universe is only 1.4E10 years old.)

The particular problem that article is talking about is one in the PRC, not extending to Taiwan. As I understand it, orders came from on high (by definition the Communist Party of China) driving this.

I'm aware of that, all I was saying is that hypothetically it would be possible to dismember the polymer components in separate pieces of javascript / css / html and replicate the behaviour in this way. I'm not sure why someone would want to do that, but just studying the implementation might be interesting to someone new. The paper-components seem very well designed.

In any case it does make way more sense than trying to replicate the design on your own and reinvent the wheel. Especially since there is nothing particularly creative in copying the design of someone else.
