Neither brown M&Ms nor missing code 418 will cause anyone harm. That's the point in using them as an indicator. Both are inside jokes. We'll leave it up to the respective users whether a shoddy sage show or a poor HTTP implementation is more important to them.
Banned in Van Halen's standard performance contract. Not because they didn't like brown M&Ms. But as a test to see if the contract specifications had in fact been read and carried out.
No error code 418 implementation means that we can reject the use of Go, Node.js and ASP.NET for not properly implementing IETF standards.
Been there. Seen too many instances of Language Du Jour come and go. I don't want to split the office into the tabs vs spaces warring camps. I don't want to incorporate some state of the art 3D gaming graphics engine into our simple engineering app interface. And I don't need every inter-office communication in PowerPoint.
I used to live in Arlington, Washington. At times, I could hear Russian language broadcasts bleeding into some cheap audio gear I had. I imagine that they could tune up from their VLF frequencies and pump out quite a bit of power (around a megawatt) to talk to our people stationed overseas. Smart to broadcast in Russian. That way the neighbors don't inadvertently hear our agents in Moscow listening to what in the 1980's would have probably been suspect material in English.
Some years ago, a processor was test marketing prepackaged irradiated food. They went to great lengths to produce some high quality meals. A few of us went on a week long hike and I was responsible for buying the food for myself and my brother. Everyone else suffered with macaroni and cheese or some freeze-dried hiking meals. My bro and I had beef bourguignon and similar dishes. We were not well liked by the end of the hike.
Snitches get stitches. And the cops aren't very good at keeping information confidential.
I'm looking out of my front window and I see an assault in progress. I'll give you the location of the assault. But why should I identify myself or my location? Put your doughnut down, get your ass out here and do your job.
As a man I know I have been beat down a zillion times at work. And I've dished it out as well.
And so have I. But that working environment descended from blue collar, agricultural, non intellectual jobs which were prevalent a hundred years ago. Where physical strength equaled leadership. But that isn't necessary in STEM fields. In fact, it cripples the organization. Just look at how badly Microsoft did under Ballmer (throwing chairs around and yelling at people) compared to the company under Nadella.
I've worked with people that resorted to talking over others, monopolizing meetings and other aggressive tactics in engineering groups. And I've also worked in the utility industry with linemen. If some fat sperglords think that they are 'tough guys' in software development meetings, just come out and try that bullshit with a line crew.
Rotating loop antennas is 1930's technology. A dipole array driving a scope X and Y chanels is still old, but gives instantaneous direction readings. DSP techniques simplify this process quite a bit.
The advantage of doing your own direction finding is that you don't have to bother shore stations, who might be busy. Or even let them know you exist, which might have tactical advantages.
This was a business LAN folder access, not a mission critical device or system.

But utilities and industrial businesses are notoriously paranoid about 'terrorists' (a.k.a. the general public) gaining access to configuration details of their systems. A good part of this is due to to the Dept of Homeland Security throwing money and resources around after 9/11 at poorly understood problems. Never mind that you can discover pretty much everything you need to know about a power grid using Google Maps imagery. Or just driving around, looking at power lines.
Not as a class based on those attributes. But as TFS states, political affiliation is a protected class in California (and other states). Religious expression is also protected. Just join a church that wears those pointy white hats and the Venn diagram of members and white males is a near perfect match.
People will see these illusory speed bumps, drive over them and think, "Say, that wasn't so bad." After a while, they will start taking the at full speed. Until they hit a real one. After a number of people incur large bills for suspension damage, a new city administration will be elected to office.

Not easily if the ship is docked and you need to avoid collateral damage.

"Wanna try some of my irradiated food?"
Other hikers run away, screaming.
These were the people that used to ask me (as an EE) how to tell if there was nuclear power running through the lines in front of their house.
We have to put up with your climate change stuff. The least you can do is to suck it up for an occasional Russian hacker story.

Oh, I'm sure you could manage to squeeze in.

What are people trying to secure?
Their location and identity in the event they are trying to report an incident anonymously.

No. But people vote.
