Why doesn't the attacker have the key? It's a public key cryptosystem, so we should assume the attacker has the public key. The attacker can encrypt all 128 ascii characters under the public key that was used to encrypt the whole string. Th

My understanding is that fully homomorphic encryption allows proprietary logic to stay hidden by allowing a company to perform its proprietary logic on a customer's data without seeing the data. If I have a function f and you have some data

I agree that writing code on paper is annoying, but a few things that made it bearable for me were: - At my school, exams that required writing code by hand were open book and open note (and occasionally even open-laptop with wifi off): no

Hmm. To me, the problem with "girl power", etc. is that, as a young female scientist, you're inundated with suggestions that girls are your "team" and boys are your rivals. If you hear enough about "girl power" growing up, you start to feel

What do you mean by security consequences? As far as I can tell, the IETF draft specifies the whitelisted ciphers and key exchange algorithms for which False Start has no security consequences; as long as implementations use False Start onl

Google also has a proposal called Snap Start that reduces the handshake to zero round trips when the browser has performed a full handshake with the server in the past: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-agl-tls-snapstart-00.html . It's much m

Mike Perry gave a talk in one of my classes today, and he mentioned that he would like to push changes upstream, and that Mozilla has expressed some interest in that as well. A lot of the TorButton features are also desirable private browsi

I'm graduating from Stanford with a BS in CS this year and I'm interning at Google this summer, and I'm being paid less than $8000/month. I've also been told that I'm being paid a "master's intern" rate, so presumably interns who haven't co

All the 106A/B/X classes are a good 10-20 hours of programming per week, and I know many people who were interested in CS but were scared off by the 106 series. There is a much less technical intro course, CS105, that's more of an introduct

I have the opposite complaint. My school's dining hall meal plan works out to $8+/meal and it's infuriating. I now spend almost half as much by shopping at Trader Joe's and cooking. What do you count as good food? I find that it doesn't tak

More difficult but still far from impossible... All China needs is a Chinese CA to issue them a certificate for Google and then they can do a nice MITM without the user seeing even a single warning.

In the vast majority of college classes that I've had, I've seen a pretty high correlation between the amount I've learned and the grades I've gotten. I've never felt like I did badly on a test even though I knew the material really well. A

For a long time too... I know at least the California Ave area of PA will be out until 6pm. I saw on Twitter that the Stanford Hospital didn't have power for some amount of time this morning too, but they must be on backup generators by now

What companies? In internship interviews at MS, Google, Fog Creek, others, I've never been asked a question anything like these. (thank god)

I've had several interviews for internships with Google, and I've never had a single question like these. Lots of data structures and algorithms, never a single riddle. Like I said, these interviews were for internships, but I would be surp

Why do Wikipedia articles converge to such high-quality content but that doesn't happen with other collaboratively-edited sites like SO? Maybe it's because there's such a well-defined culture to guide high-quality editing on Wikipedia (i.e.

My life on the web is open to everyone, and that paradigm isn't going anywhere. I think the problem that most people are having is that Google is blurring the line between our lives on the web and our lives in our inboxes. Specifically, i

I've been wondering the same thing: why does it bother me so much that Buzz auto-follows frequently-emailed contacts, but it doesn't bother me that gchat automatically adds frequently-emailed contacts? I think it might be because having con

Yep, code from previous terms (friends who have taken the class before) or even from the same term (friends who are in the same class who have already finished the assignment). My impression is that the vast majority of honor code violation

Fair point, but even if you can predict paper grades within half a letter grade, there's something much different psychologically about the following: "This program passes all the automated tests, and the automated tests are 90% of the grad

I think the main problem is students copying each others' code, not students copying library code. I don't think I've ever had a CS assignment at Stanford where I could have gone out and find library code to solve the problem.

I would guess that most cheaters don't know they're the cheating type until the moment they cheat. Also, one of the points made in the article is that most people attribute the honor code violations largely to non-CS majors. The mindset is

I think the original poster might be referring to the strength of a paper's arguments rather than grammar. But I basically agree with you... most Stanford CS projects are graded almost entirely by automated tests (which test the output of t
