This is very poorly set up. What are even the facts of the case?

0. We're instructed to forget what we know about these characters, but then through hints we're supposed to recover the details of these characters' relationships to each other and the world?

1. Is this a real sheriff?

2. Did Robin Hood and Little John do anything deserving of being locked up?

3. What was the previous relationship between Maid Marion and Robin Hood? Were they truly lovers or something less?

4. What was the previous relationship between Maid Marion and the sheriff? Were they necessarily citizens with a power differential?

5. Would the sheriff have released his prisoners the next morning regardless of Maid Marion's actions?

6. Was Robin's "abuse" verbal or physical in nature?

7. What was the previous relationship between Little John and Maid Marion? Were they necessarily unlinked except via a mutual tie to Robin Hood?

8. What was the previous relationship between Little John and Robin Hood? Were they friends with some obligation to each other, or merely cellmates?

9. Was Little John truthful in his promise of devotion?

Many different rankings can stem from differing understanding of those facts rather than differing moral standards. Not to mention the conflation of Honesty with Morality.
Many/most servers (or the ones I've dealt with the most, anyways) have an LED that can be activated remotely -- i.e. through IPMI, ILO, etc. -- but I can't remember what's it called at the moment. It can be very handy when you're remote and need to be able to direct someone (physically present) to a specific server.
> That's an assertion of your personal view, and not at all objective.

Why is it always the responsibility, throughout history, of a vocal minority to convince others that violence against a group is wrong? No, empathy isn't my personal view, it is shared by any rational and sane person, who will agree animals have an inherent right to be free of pain and suffering. Or do you dare assert humans have an exclusive monopoly on freedom?

> You are always free to eat organic.

Good grief. Organic poison is still poison. Please see this page for many cited examples of health benefits from a vegan diet, and risks of a non-vegan one: http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/vegans/

> it's supported by a paper backed by a vegan lobbying organisation

Just as claims that milk, cheese, egg and meat products are necessary are lobbied by animal agriculture organizations.

The trouble is that answering all of those questions still doesn't tell you whether it's right or wrong. (Also, you formulated some of your questions using equally value-loaded terms, such as "better off".)
Doesn't that possibility just make it easier to put the sheriff on the bottom though?

I think the harder to judge possibility is if RH and crew were locked up rightfully for committing some sort of crime.
The toolset differences are a huge barrier to market penetration. It's why technically superior, but architecturally different, products of the past were ignored to our loss. Itanium, with its advanced security, is a recent example. Not all are like that, though. There are a number that just protect pointers, do segments, do address space protection (see INTEGRITY-178B), or vary the granularity of the protection for legacy compatibility. These tend to support a modified UNIX/Linux kernel and/or GCC modifications. Things are otherwise the same. So, there's potential in those.

I found the following looking into embedded use and what works with similar tools. This tagging scheme [1] integrates with RTEMS and C albeit with more complexity than some. The guarded pointers [2] from mid-90's probably would work well with microcontrollers given embedded code is often fairly static, esp safety-critical schemes. The critiques shouldn't apply as much except cost of extra bits. The SAFE architecture's PUMP [3] does arbitrary policies with costs that might put it outside of microcontroller range (high end? mid-range?). One can even use the old Burrough's model where 2 tags bits per word are used to ID pointers and code. Writes to either generate an interrupt for security system to approve based on context. Again, embedded is static enough that there should be no such interrupts in normal operation if pointer-arithmetic is avoided, right?

Feel free to give your thoughts on these in terms of microcontrollers or low-cost microprocessors.

You're getting downvoted because people who have spent a lot of time engineering and building don't like it when people drive-by with hypotheticals. You have some neat ideas; show us we're wrong by writing code and profiling. Not claiming that something that was published earlier this week (gittorrent) is how the web (going on 23+ years) should be rearchitected. Claiming you don't get along with others doesn't give you a free pass to shit on other people's work.

As a side note; it's really easy to see the wrong in things. It takes more work to try to find the good in things. You might find that you're better able to connect with people by being more optimistic.
S did not force himself on M. Objectively, he abused his power to make a trade for personal gain, and that's what you're judging. M was in no way forced to do anything and the way the story is presented is nearly as guilty as S in that she abused her sexual power for gain (undermining justice in the process) to free someone. The way it is presented, we don't know if it's altruistic or selfish.

For reference, I was JMSR.

> He allows himself to be bribed with sex which could be seen as a mercy in a certain light.

My read was that he extorted sex, not agreed to a bribe. Had Maid Marion offered sex in exchange for Robin's freedom things might be different, but abusing a position of power to get sex is super-shady.
I was under the impression that it is quite neurotoxic. Wikipedia seems to be backing me up here. Is this not the case?
I quickly interpreted "abuse" as "shouting abuse", but if it meant that he hurt her physically, that brings him way down obviously. You have to assume a lot to make any judgement at all, which was my point.

One point of view not many share, but I do at some level, is that none of these people are guilty of anything more than being who they are, which they had no control over. In those terms, they're all morally equal and deserve unconditional compassion.
The Backwards Brain Bicycle – Smarter Every Day 133
This was my assumption when I first discovered and took the test. I was pretty set on R>S, but took a bit before I settled on M>J. All the answers I tried were horoscope-y "you are happy :)" and I was gonna forget about it.

However, then I showed it to a bunch of people, and they started getting all sorts of crazy super-critical results. We started working through them, and I realized that in its simplicity the test was nevertheless tapping on some fairly outrageous opinions about the tolerability of power abuse, and the purity of women. And it stuck with me.

I think the only way to get a good result outside of the range you describe is to describe yourself as a woman, where it gives a positive spin to M>S>J>R (which I came around to as well).

In your opinion, only those products with API's available today should be announced? That sounds overly restrictive. By the same logic - Projects Jacquard and Vault shouldn't have been announced either.

I think it's fair to announce products so devs can be ready when the API becomes available.
As already told before: Thinkpads or Dell developper edition. I will add HP's pro series: a bit Probooks but mainly Elitebook series which are really great too.

Run away (far!) from general use HPs. Only professional series are fine.

Yeah, "to which she agreed" makes it clear it was his initiative.
>The trouble is that answering all of those questions still doesn't tell you whether it's right or wrong.

If you answer all the subquestions, then whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter. Let's take a much simpler, analogous question to illustrate the process:

"If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

The controversial part of this is what people mean by "makes a sound". It's easier to break down here because there are only two senses of the it - vibrations in the air versus the qualitative experience of hearing. Once you've answered that it makes vibrations in the air but doesn't cause a hearing experience, whether or not it "makes a sound" doesn't tell you anything about what to expect.

Similarly, if you figure out what people mean by something being "right" or "wrong", you can use those pieces to cause the things that "rightness" and "wrongness" cause without caring about the overall judgement.
Certainly can imagine this happens. Currently I'm scraping 4 banks and 4 shops on a daily basis, and the only issue was when scraping for the first time from new IP address. They asked a security question or displayed a captcha. I resolved this by logging in first time from the browser through SSH tunnel over that IP. All subsequent scraping went well since then.
Linux on the desktop is a mistake that's driving a lot of bad code into distributions. Get a macbook, which has, even now, a very solid desktop environment that'll always be more functional and easier to use than any desktop linux, and use vagrant to develop against linux virtual machines, and/or ssh into your linux environment.

This is how I've done it for the last several years with great success.
> We're instructed to forget what we know about these characters, but then through hints we're supposed to recover the details of these characters' relationships to each other and the world?

Honestly, I think that's the point. You're told to forget your predispositions and be objective, and it's the degree to which you're able to and the biases that surface to fill the gaps of unknowns that this test is revealing.

+1 to Zelazny's take on magic. Didn't realize Changeling was meant to be a trilogy (although that makes a ton more sense in retrospect, too bad it never had a threequel).

I also find his Chronicles of Amber to be an interesting take on Universe building, although the magic system is less formulated (but damn is the whole Pattern/Chaos thing cool).

All of which to say: if you haven't read Zelazny you should, he's a wonderful writer.
I think the most telling insight of the entire test, in all the times I've discussed it with people, is when guys read this

> Maid Marion begged the Sheriff for their release, pleading her love for Robin. The Sheriff agreed to release them only if Maid Marion spent the night with him.

And somehow many of them end up with the impression that MM offered sex.

edit: I wasn't really replying to this post in particular, it just seemed like a good place to go about it. If you check the response for women for your ordering, by the way, the response is fairly positive.
>If you answer all the subquestions, then whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter.

It may matter to a person who has a conscience.
I had MM and LJ swapped, but otherwise identical to your rankings. Not that I thought there was anything wrong with MM's actions, but she still did commit adultery and engage in bribery to circumvent the legal system (albeit for honorable reasons). LJ didn't do anything shifty.

Definitely pricey and a little off the beaten track but I absolutely love my Chromebook Pixel LS. Ubuntu was super easy to set up using Crouton. Everything worked out of the box, the only minor modification I made was replace the synaptic touchpad drivers with a ported version of Chromebook's. When I'm not developing I usually keep it in ChromeOS as it is extremely snappy and responsive. A quick keypress and I can drop into Ubuntu to get some work done.
I second the Thinkpad. I've been using a X1 Carbon w/ Archlinux and it's great, almost everything works straight out of the box - and the archwiki for Lenovo products is quite comprehensive (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Lenovo).

The one thing to be wary off is some alterations they made to the keyboard/trackpad in a few of the models (I think they may have reversed the changes most recently, but make sure you are getting the classic one).
Might add that Rust has a very new blend of concepts that are "in your face" -- and arguably a very "modern" selection of concepts. I'm not well versed in neither C, C++ or Rust (or Haskell/ML) -- but this old article by Stroustrup (creator of C++) still makes some interesting points vis-a-vis C:

"Learning Standard C++ as a New Language"
http://www.stroustrup.com/new_learning.pdf

Rust has great documentation that's rapidly improving, but the selection of "syntactic tools" are somewhat eclectic -- yet I think one could probably be a better C programmer by first learning Rust (just as one might be a better C programmer by first learning Pascal and/or Ada) -- precisely because Rust has gathered up what seems to me to be a very useful subset of "things" (borrow/box, strong typing, safe/unsafe etc) -- that can be useful to apply to any kind of programming.

And just as with C++, Rust will give you somewhat more complex solutions (if you look at the generated machine code) than naive C code -- but as it turns out -- the naive C code is probably incorrect, anyway!
It is a great tool! I am sorry I have no reason to use it!
but it comes with schoolbus-type problems and you look ridiculous.
Fair. But then you read the answers list (http://www.talisman.org/cgi-bin/robin-hood-morality?all=true) and learn that there were right answers (jrms, jmsr) and everyone else gets insults.
Awesome, no matter one answer you pick the test condemns you. This is less useful than even something like "What star wars character are you?" which is at least coherent in what it is attempting to discern.
So inventing languages is a good thing, as a research topic into how natural languages work (with plenty of provisos, of course).

And, as a human nature hack, marketing them as tools for world-peace, etc. makes them much more likely to be adopted by idealistic humans who may have the motivation to actually test them for a few decades...
Nowhere in my statement did I say that MM offered sex. I'm not sure where everyone responding to me is getting that. I said the sheriff allows himself to be bribed with sex which is orthogonal to who propositioned the bribe in the first place.
Going for some of the "worst" answers produces some entertaining responses.

Yep. Mage 2nd Edition was particularly good with regards to that while still supporting a dice-and-mechanics-heavy game around it. I've never played Nobilis seriously due to lack of friends to do it with, a major problem in an RPG, but it has some beautiful game design decisions. (Highly recommended for CS geeks, which I understand the author is. My single favorite thing is a table listing comparables for answering the question "The player wants to do something which is flatly impossible. How flatly impossible is it?" It's a game where if the action is only as impossible grabbing the moon between your thumb and finger and putting it in a velvet bag then you can certainly try to go for it.)

This may miss your point, but I would easily argue that Scala is a "web language," just as Java is and was before it. Scala's focus on concurrency helps drive this point, as it's not response time so much as throughout given IO constraints that make a good environment for web applications.
You're right about keyboard/trackpad. Previous Year models didn't have classic three buttons above the trackpad which are quite useful when you use trackpoint.

But at least with X250 they did bring those buttons back. I guess same is true for the rest of the newer models.
Just agreeing here on the part about DARPA. It's possible, though, that you have no idea just how much DARPA was involved. Despite my research, I just now stumbled onto the Strategic Computing Initiative which shows most of the coolest stuff I studied was all tied to DARPA.

any rational and sane person, who will agree animals have an inherent right to be free of pain and suffering

If that is the case, then such a view can obviously not require vegetarianism or veganism. Unless you are claiming that 'any rational and sane person' is a vegetarian or vegan – a dubious claim.

I'm a big fan of ethical treatment of animals used for food production. It's just that my ethical standards apparently differ from yours. That doesn't make them invalid.

Organic poison is still poison.

Your point was specifically about produce being 'filled with junk' – in this case, hormones. That's the point I was disputing.

I don't disagree that vegan diets have the potential to be healthy. Your argument commits the typical fallacy of drawing unwarranted conclusions, however; vegan diets tend to be healthier compared to average omnivorous diets, but this is typically due to reduced consumption of saturated fats, increased consumption of dietary fibre and so on. Veganism is not a prerequisite for improving one's diet.

Just as claims that milk, cheese, egg and meat products are necessary are lobbied by animal agriculture organizations.

Yes, and I don't agree with those either. It's obvious that it's possible to be vegan. The difference is that I didn't use those studies in defence of my point; you did.
