Labs. It was initially piloted on college campuses, the first

who are most likely to be compatible based on geographical
location, number of mutual friends, and common
interests. It allows the users to anonymously like or reject
potential matches using a simple swiping gesture. If two
users are interested in each other, it is a "match" and it

77. Google posted a model code of conduct online for software
developers and others taking part in an Explorer program
providing early access to Google Glass. The company appeared
intent on avoiding the kinds of caustic run-ins that have seen
some Glass wearers being tossed from eateries, pubs or other
establishments due to concerns over camera capabilities built
into devices. The code of conduct says:
“Don’t be creepy or rude (aka, a X). Respect others and if they have
questions about Glass, don’t get snappy. If you’re asked to turn your
phone off, turn Glass off as well. Breaking the rules or being rude
will not get businesses excited about Glass and will ruin it for other
Explorers.”

81. This Algorithm was developed by three Scientists
whose surnames’ first letters contribute to the name of
the algorithm. It was developed in 1997 at MIT.
The Abstract of the paper for the Algo is as follows:
The system includes a communications channel coupled to at least one
terminal having an encoding device and to at least one terminal having a
decoding device. A message-to-be-transferred is enciphered to ciphertext
at the encoding terminal by encoding the message as a number M in a
predetermined set. That number is then raised to a first predetermined
power (associated with the intended receiver) and finally computed. The
remainder or residue, C, is... computed when the exponentiated number is
divided by the product of two predetermined prime numbers (associated
with the intended receiver).
84. X is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural
selection. This heuristic (also sometimes called
a metaheuristic) is routinely used to generate useful
solutions to optimization and search problems.
They belong to the larger class of evolutionary
algorithms (EA), which generate solutions to optimization
problems using techniques inspired by natural evolution,
such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover.
They find applications
in bioinformatics, phylogenetics, computational
science, engineering, mathematics, physics and other
fields.

90. X is a multi-paradigm, compiled programming
language created
by Apple for iOS and OS X development. Introduced
at Apple's 2014 Worldwide Developers
Conference (WWDC), X is designed to work with
Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the
large body of existing Objective-C code written for
Apple products. Swift is intended to be more resilient
to erroneous code ("safer") than Objective-C, and also
more concise.

93. A _____ is an n-ary tree with a variable but often large
number of children per node. It consists of a root,
internal nodes and leaves.The root may be either a leaf
or a node with two or more children.
The primary value of a _____ is in storing data for
efficient retrieval in a block-oriented storage context
— in particular, filesystems. This is primarily because
unlike binary search trees, _____ have very high fanout
(number of pointers to child nodes in a node, typically
on the order of 100 or more), which reduces the
number of I/O operations required to find an element
in the tree.
99. This type of simulation belongs to a broad class of
algorithms that rely on repeated random number
sampling. This simulation is named after a famous
place in Europe.
It modern version was invented in the late 1940s
by Stanislaw Ulam, while he was working on nuclear
weapons projects at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory. Immediately after Ulam's
breakthrough, John von Neumann understood its
importance and programmed the ENIAC computer to
carry out calculations.

102. X is a data storage virtualization technology that
combines multiple disk drive components into a
logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy or
performance improvement.
Data is distributed across the drives in one of several
ways, referred to as levels, depending on the specific
level of redundancy and performance required.
Each scheme provides a different balance between the
key goals: reliability,availability, performance,
and capacity.

resulting from a drug possession case in 2012. Framingham Police went to
Duval’s apartment with a warrant from Natick District Court. He had been
charged previously with possession of a Class C substance, two counts of
possession of a Class B substance and driving to endanger. Duval explained to
the that he is in the middle of a divorce and had no means to pay the $450 that
he failed pay previously. His original charges were dismissed but Duval still
needed to handle the fine he received when arrested in 2012. The judge offered
the man a few days in jail in order to erase his debt but he pleaded not to be
locked up any further. The judge told the 39-year-old he did not trust him
enough to release without any bail because he doubted Duval would pay. The
judge decided to offer the broke man a challenge to come up with an
alternative. He said:
“I will give you a chance to be creative. If you can come up with a creative idea
to convince me that you will come back, I will work with you.”
What creative idea did Jason Duval come up with? What did he offer the judge?
