Dr., command, esteem, win acclaim, Ph.D., exposition, fair
博 centers on wide-ranging knowledge and broad recognition: the idea of extensive learning that earns esteem, as in a doctorate or scholarly exposition, and by extension a fair or exhibition where many things are displayed.
博 combines 十 (ten, completeness) with 尃, which historically relates to spreading or extending. Together they suggest broad, comprehensive knowledge or dissemination.
The left side 十 suggests completeness, and the right side 尃 looks like a hand spreading something over a field. Picture a scholar spreading knowledge far and wide, earning a doctorate and acclaim at a grand fair.
For ハク, imagine a scholar with a Ph.D. wearing a graduation cap that looks like a small box: 'hack' the box open to reveal the diploma. Hack -> ハク.
