Young Turks (Bell Labs)

The Young Turks were a group of leading scientists who worked at Bell Labs, who were insatiably curious about the science behind communications. Many of them were encouraged to take risks, free from the responsibilities of applying for grants or from teaching.[1][2] "We were first-class troublemakers," Richard Hamming later recalled. "We did unconventional things in unconventional ways and still got valuable results. Thus management had to tolerate us and let us alone a lot of the time."[3]

gollark: And do weird stuff like... maybe sparse files, overlapping ranges on stuff, that sort of thing.
gollark: I think *cool* zip bombs are smarter than that.
gollark: It hasn't logged anything yet, but it probably will overnight.
gollark: I decided to see exactly what all the random HTTP requests to stuff like `/wp-admin/index.php` and all that are trying to do, so I've made a script to log the headers, POST body and stuff so I can investigate later.
