For what it's worth, TFA does mention that the site is:

Describing the K of K&R as "Awk creator" is like describing Einstein as a "refrigerator engineer".

You can register a legal alias (通称名) that you can use on forms. I know people who have done this with just single a single kanji to avoid a lot of the headache associated with having a foreign name or (god forbid) a middle name. I've considered a few times registering my legal alias as 一一 to have a two stroke full name.

Same in Japan. My name is truncated on nearly every single form I receive from utilities companies. online forms will regularly limit your full name to 9 kana in total.

Worth noting that if you have a US-issued visa card, you cannot use it to pay for IC via Apple pay.

> The inventor of the atomic bomb

I'm not sure I understand this characterization of Oppenheimer. There are a few people who could take this title but I don't think Oppenheimer has anywhere near the same claims to it as someone like Leo Szilard or even Enrico Fermi.

If by inventor they mean man who "put into practice", I don't see why the director of a project employing hundreds deserves the title of "inventor".
