Why Pedestrian-Friendly Street Design is Not Negligent

Why do we punish negligent behaviors?

Prior research suggests that negligent harms are punished because of the resulting negative outcomes. Under this account, negligent but completely harmless acts should not be punished. An alternative possibility is that negligence is punished as a way of modifying future thought and behavior. Across three studies we find support for this second proposal. Study 1 demonstrates that punishment is ...

SECURING THE CLOUD Why Are Clouds Not Forensics Friendly ?

Today’s cloud computing architectures often lack support for computer forensic investigations. Besides this, the existing digital forensics tools cannot cope with the dynamic nature of the cloud. This paper explores the challenges of digital forensics in the cloud, possible attacks on cloud-evidence, and mitigation strategies against those challenges. Digital Forensics in the Cloud To identify ...

Being Fat and Friendly is Not Enough

We show that there is no (1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the problem of covering points in the plane by minimum number of fat triangles of similar size (with the minimum angle of the triangles being close to 45 degrees). Here, the available triangles are prespecified in advance. Since a constant factor approximation algorithm is known for this problem [CV07], this settles the approximabilit...
