Yale Students Accused Of Copying Dating
Site 04/27/2004 04:38 AM
Well, here's a legal test for the students at Yale's law school... at what point does imitation cross the line from flattery to copyright infringement? Apparently, a group of Wesleyan students are accusing some Yale students of stealing content from their student dating service. The Wesleyan students set up a special dating site for Wesleyan students that tries to match up students by having them answer a series of questions. They've since sold the program to other universities, and even spoke with a group at Yale, though the discussions never went anywhere. Sometime after that, the Wesleyan students discovered a Yale dating site that looked quite similar and appeared to include many of the same questions used by the Wesleyan system.

(comparatively) stupid white men at
Harvard and Yale 08/28/2004 11:44 AM

A friend was asking me about some of her colleagues who had joined Mensa and I said that anyone who hangs around a decent college is already effectively a member because you only need a fairly low SAT score to get admitted to Mensa (turned out to be 1250 if you took the pre-1995 test and the new wimpy test for today's youth is not accepted at all; see http://members.sh aw.ca/delajara/criteria.html).  Then I tried to figure out what average SAT scores prevailed at colleges today and the Web search brought up this interesting page from a 1998 Brookings Institution report.  What I found most striking was the discrimination against Asian-Americans at the elite old-line universities.  Harvard is the 2nd worst offender in this regard.  An Asian kid has to have an SAT score 65 point higher than a white kid to get into Harvard.  Maybe this explains George W's illustrious career at Yale?  (not listed in the table but presumably similar to Harvard)

[Page 438 of the same study is also interesting.  It concludes that being black or hispanic rather than white at the "most selective colleges" is "comparable to the effect of having ... a total SAT score of 1400 rather than 1000".  So if you are a generic white family and want to get your kids into college it might be time to go down to the courthouse and change your last name to "Hernandez".  The college admissions staff don't get deeply into geneaology, do they?  Just learn enough Spanish to say "Here is a check for $40,000 to cover the first year of tuition, room, and board."  Then your kids could change their names back right after graduation from their last degree, in order not to suffer discrimination from employers who might think "they got in just because they were Hispanic" and to conceal themselves from pesky Alumni Association donation demands.  With a system this heavily based on race and name changes as economical as they are I'm surprised that more families don't game the system.  Perhaps there is a business opportunity here...]

Yale dating website - a little somethin'
on the side 04/13/2004 01:51 AM
So Yale students have a dating website for those who are "matched, single, or looking for a little somethin' on the side." Unfortunately, the Yale College Council, which launched the site in February 2004, is being accused of stealing the HTML code from a precursor site at Wesleyan, and the Yale Student Activities Commission may have ripped off Weslyan's dating questionnaires. Happily, the Herald article confirms that while the website might be in trouble, "the courts will never shut down the most reliable dating hotspot at Yale" -- the library.

Don Box: Today, the data needed to initialize an object graph is hidden behind imperative statements in your programming language of choice. That makes it difficult to tease out of the rest of your program without weird markers in the source code to delimit the structure of your code into recognizable pieces.

Why Humans Must Return To The Moon

Why Humans Must Return To The Moon 12/09/2003 05:02 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "Space.com gives us "10 Reasons to Put Humans Back on the Moon." While some of these reasons seem obvious, like our needs for dreams or a common goal for nations to collaborate, some are less expected, like generating energy from lunar power stations. This also could lead to the arrival of space tourism and to a better knowledge of our past through the analysis of craters and rocks in situ. And many new things also might be invented on the Moon just to live there. Finally, with men on the Moon, future explorations of Mars or asteroids could be easier to organize. The original article is spread over ten pages, so I put the full list of these ten reasons on my blog as a single page for your convenience, along with short quotes and other references. "

When All The Humans Are Gone From
Customer Support 12/29/2004 10:35 PM
The NY Times is running an article similar to ones that others have run before, noting how incredibly difficult it is to actually get a human on the phone these days when you need customer support from a company. While many people know the "tricks" such as hitting 0 to get around the painful menus, it looks like some companies are spending more time making it harder for customers to reach humans (rather than, say, actually figuring out ways to help their customers). This means that the "0" trick won't always work -- though, sometimes hitting it three or four times in a row will get you through. Other tricks include hitting the * key in the hopes of getting a company directory. What's still not clear is why companies do this. Most of these automated systems simply keep people on these phone calls for a longer period of time and tend to piss them off. My favorite system so far was a Comcast system that required me to go through twelve menus before I could speak to a human, whose first question to me was "what phone number are you calling from" when in step two or three I had specifically punched in my phone number.

Humans vs Robots on Mars

Humans vs Robots on Mars 01/11/2004 08:15 PM
The Washington Post has an editorial on manned vs robotic Mars exploration by Robert Zubrin, president of the Mars Society. The erroneous idea that robots will eliminate human space travel seems to come up whenever a space mission is in the news and we've covered it before. Zubrin points out that while robots are useful, fun, and cheap ways of exploring, many of the tasks involved in looking for life would be much easier for a human explorer. And, regardless of how many robots are sent to Mars for exploration, humans will still go themselves eventually in order to live there.
