There's one quote that I see people refer to quite often:
> William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
> Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
> William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
> Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Short patent lifetimes. Long enough for you to get out and establish yourself in the market, but short enough that it wouldn't kill a competitor to wait a bit. It would also dramatically reduce the cost of licensing a patent since the waiting time for it to expire would drop so much.
Perhaps a good amount of time would be one or two years?
I still think asm is essential to know. And I'm not even an old fart. Knowing assembly makes it far easier to rationalize about what my C programs are doing, how things will perform, what the machine actually does, and so on, even up into my Ocaml code (which is what I tend to work in for much of my code these days).
Even C doesn't teach you about cache behavior, register spilling, calling conventions, and so on.
Plus, it helps to know assembly massively when you're in the embedded domain, or whenever you're close to the metal.
I'm at mcmaster, which has a mcmaster.ca address. I don't think it's possible to match on email address to allow all schools, so just ask for the school that someone attends. If you let some non-students through, what does it matter?
Answer: It's far easier to talk to someone over a beer when you're in the same building as them. Or to pop up at their office unplanned with a question. Or to work on a project with team members.
School isn't all about lectures, and even for lectures, pre-recorded lectures don't let you ask questions.
At least on this site, it sounds like any startup would be preferred to any established company including google. Although that really does seem to be mostly the tone of this site.
I remember this design from my childhood. (Well, a variation of it). Dropping the tail and tearing elevators/ailerons into the back of it turns it into an awesome stunt plane, one that can do loops and so on beautifully, or can (if thrown right) come back to you like a boomerang.
It seems that when you're asked for a plane, you're expected to create a plane, not a wad of paper.
Presumably, this was during a unit on areodynamics, and the idea was to demonstrate an understanding of areodynamics, and not to show that you can throw balls farther than you can throw planes.
If the teacher had asked for the object that would go farthest, instead of specifically asking for a paper plane, then you would have a point.
With RSA private keys, users don't see or manipulate them directly (usually). With a private-key based security system, most users would go "Huh? what's a private key?" if you asked them to send it.
With biometrics, you can't send them over a phone or over the internet.
Social engineering will always be a problem, but passwords are far easier to obtain with social engineering. Biometrics and so on reduce the number of attack vectors.
They can and do, for the most part. iPhone knockoffs are a dime a dozen, for the most part, although Apple has design patents to keep them from looking too close to they original.
Or maybe they were aware of it in the good old times too, and they think it was crap then too?
I have no patience for working on lame assignments, and my marks suffer, but I still have no patience for people who are in school hoping to coast through. If you don't challenge yourself, you're wasting everyone's time.
