Not only that. New York has 6-1/2 avenue (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6%C2%BD_Avenue)

This is chapter 1 of "Beautiful Code" (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596510046.do)

This is a story of the women behind a successful man. But no. Gender doesn't matter. Look at some successful start-ups. You need a founder like Claude Shannon to come up with a successful idea and another founder like Betty to fill in all the gaps and implement it. Such partnership is, IMHO, the essential formula for success. It is rare to have both traits in the same person.

Same in git commit message, we need to put as much information as possible in the fewest number of bytes to make it useful. I am looking forward to an article name "committese"

They are not including any PII... while creating a new identifier for each installation. 13 bits of entropy probably isn't a unique identifier iff you only look at that header in isolation. Combined with at least 24 additional bits[1] of entropy from the IPv4 Source Address field Google receives >=37 bits of entropy, which is almost certainly a unique ID for the browser. Linking that browser ID to a personal account is trivial as soon as someone logs in to any Google service.

Now this is interesting. If without that 13 bits of entropy, what will Google lost? Is it because of this 13 bits then Google suddenly able to track what they were not? If the IPv4 address, user-agent string, or some other behavior is sufficient to reveal a great deal of stuff, we have a more serious problem than that 13 bits. I agree that 13-bit seed is a concern. But I am wondering if it is a concern per se, or its orchestration with something else. Of course, how/whether Google keeps those data also matters.

IANL, anyone feels this is an invitation to another antitrust investigation?

You missed one important point about Turbo C: The debugger. It has an amazing UI even at today's standard. If you need an all-in-one tool to teach programming (esp focus on the concepts), Turbo C is still a good choice.

Give you an example: A highway in my neighborhood is congested often but if you can put 3 people in your car, you are eligible to use the HOV lane and usually you can watch the cars next to you moving slowly while you can go in 50mph. Google won't know you are eligible for HOV lane and assume you are not.

Passing on the business to sons and daughters is the habit of the East Asia, as well as the reason for businesses to fail. I am from Hong Kong and we keep laughing at a handful of local banks of staying in the 1960s for this reason. Similarly in Japan, but they find a brilliant way to work around this tradition: Business owners adopt adults as sons so that they can pass on the company to the right hands.

I am not surprised for a script north of 2000 characters for this. Check out Fred's ImageMagick scripts (http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/index.php). In the similar concept, they are long shell scripts generating an imagemagick command

In China, you will heard of the company SenseTime who specialize in facial-recognition. I bet if you do the same study on that system, you will see the same racial bias on white people! All the problem is data. Try train on man faces and apply it on women faces. If you want to solve this problem, gather more training data on those "minorities" -- even if that means you need to go to a foreign country to collect them.

Thanks. But more deep down, I wonder why and how some links nowadays will be dead on slashdot effect or not.

I myself is an Android user and Mac as desktop. But my daughter prefer an iPhone for all her classmates are using it. So I bought one. Then, I found myself a dumb when I borrow her phone to do anything. Primitive? Not my case. I can't even transfer my desktop experience to iphone where both are backed by the same Cupertino company.

Lego is the world's No 1 wheel maker. Michelin is far behind Lego in counts. But when you need a wheel for your car, you look for Michelin. Same here. Huawei phone and Apple phone are for different market. You shouldn't compare like that.

I don't agree with you that US vendors should be seen as potentially compromised. But I strongly support that European vendors should be used in Europe. It would be a disaster if Cisco is the only choice. We need at least a healthy rival.

Yeung (author of the article mentioned) was my teacher in school. He wrote a book more than a decade ago with a Venn diagram of four sets on the cover

I remember he draw such diagram almost every lesson to explain the mathematical structure of various information theory topics.

No. You missed the point. TikTok is a Chinese company. They still need to do business in China. They can't give an impression that the Party was wrong.

wow! "Prime minister" in order to avoid the fact that she is President.

Oh yes, no one killed on Tiananmen Square. Because they are killed around the square or one nearby roads. So like a murderer arguing that "I didn't kill that guy, it's the bullet from my gun did it".

if they moved that way, why they would care about GPL violation?

IANAL, I believe the whole idea behind GPL is to make sure GPL supersede what you might claim otherwise. So if the federal government can possibly make a derived work into public domain (or crown copyright if UK) instead of GPL, that's a loophole in GPL!

(I know this work is not GPL, but similar idea applies)

a variation of bubble sort, so O(N^2)
