The World’s first fully sustainable race car
http://www.tgdaily.com/html_tmp/content-view-42081-178.html
Chicago (IL) - With a vehicle body made from potatoes, a steering wheel made from carrots, the ability to run on waste chocolate and vegetable oil, the 140 mph Environ-MENTAL is the first formula 3 race car designed from materials that are both sustainable and renewable.

Image

Used by the WorldFirst Racing Team, a project of the University of Warwick’s UK-based Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (WIMRC), the team plans to show the automotive industry that designing and building an environmentally sustainable competition level race car is possible. The team hopes to change public opinion, and prove that environmentally-friendly can be both fun and exciting.

The Environ-Mental is green from start to finish, from building the vehicle; to its disposal it puts the environment first. You will find

- 3D woven natural fiber composites in the barge board Composite steering wheel composed of carrots and other root vegetables
- Wing mirrors comprised of potato starch
- Wing end plates comprised of both flax and cellulose composite
- Lightweight wiring which utilizes recycled plastics and aluminum
- A biodiesel-powered, race calibrated engine
- Plant oil based lubricant
- Side pod composed of glass fiber and resin from recycled plastics
- A seat designed using flax fiber shell, recycled polyester and soybean oil foam
- Recycled carbon-fiber for the damper hatch and engine cover
- Pre-impregnated woven flax fiber for the big
- Non-carbon disks with low embodied energy for the brakes
- A catalyst which generates oxygen on the radiators and cleans the air when the vehicle is in motion

The chassis is based on a Lola B05/30 that integrates a BMW M47 diesel engine. The 2.0 liter power plant generates about 220 hp and will accelerate the car to a top speed of about 140 mph.

37Signals discovers the hyperlink
http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2134-launchpad-deep-links-for-highrise-backpack-and-now-basecamp
37Signals have obviously spent some time putting this video together, which serves to demonstrate their discovery of the "hyperlink", which allows users to navigate around their web apps.

I'm struggling to grasp how this adds more value than a bookmark in your browser. I.e. A "Deep Link" to your "Highrise Deals" page would be better served by a bookmark that takes you to a specific deal - far more efficient and fits a more realistic use case of navigating to one of several active deals instead of a list of them all.

4 stories of fraud, hacking, and digital currencies,When bitcoins go bad
http://allhackersnews.com/2013/11/4-stories-fraud-hacking-digital-currencieswhen-bitcoins-go-bad.html
With Bitcoin interest (and prices) spiking, you might be considering investing in your own little cache of digital currency. But before you set up a Bitcoin wallet, you should think long and hard about who will watch over your digital wealth. In its relatively short lifespan, Bitcoin wallets and processors have been a target for hackers — and old-fashioned fraudsters. In fact, within the last week, one of the most prominent European exchanges reported it had lost over $1 million worth of bitcoins to hackers.

We’re slaves of the genes, programmed by memes, no god supervenes
http://www.scitechexplained.com/2010/07/book-review-the-selfish-gene-written-by-richard-dawkins-were-slaves-of-the-genes-programmed-by-memes-no-god-supervenes/
Natural Selection does not select between ecosystems, or species, or groups, or even individuals, but between genes. This so counter-intuitive approach is tantamount, Richard argues, to the cyclic change in perception when one looks at a Necker Cube; from time to time, as you look at the cube, it seems that the point of view from which you look at it changes its position.

Any PHP class to convert MS access tables to MySQL?

I am working on a web project which lets users upload ms access files, and data should be submitted to MySQL DB, and then displayed to the user in a control panel.

Any thoughts or help about that?
Thanks so much in advance,

Super Bowl Ads Online: To Seed or Not to Seed?

Strategies for preventing abuse of API SaaS free-tier resources?
I run an API SaaS business, where most use-cases you'd use our API for involve making a fairly-large number of API requests.

For business reasons, we don't yet have any paid plans (nor any of the infrastructure to support paid plans); so right now we're only giving our users access to a rate-limited free plan.

For the vast majority of our users, they can build and scale their use-case while staying well under the rate limits our free plan imposes.

But some of our users find our rate-limits constraining, and try to evade them by registering additional accounts, to then use multiple API keys in tandem to make their requests. (These users' apps are usually badly-architected, such that they're making 10-100x the number of requests they should be to achieve their use-case.)

Deactivating these users' "alt" accounts as we find them — or even banning these users altogether — doesn't help much, as these users just move on to using increasingly "stealthy" account registrations — using real-seeming email providers; registering through VPNs to disguise their traffic origin; splitting their requests by microservice such that their backend IPs/request-signatures never correlate; etc.

We could force users to go through a KYC/AML-like identity-verification process to register, but this would be a pretty massive hurdle to impose in the way of signing up for a SaaS product — and not one our users would expect, given that we're not a finance or gambling app.

Is there any other way?

Have you scaled an API SaaS with a free-tier plan and dealt with this problem? If so, what did you do?

Pontifex followers prefer cocacola over pepsi
http://blog.tribatics.com/2012/12/13/followers-insights-for-pontifex-twitter-account/
By measuring followers in common between two or more different Twitter accounts (politicians or celebrities compared against brands), we are able to infer some curious facts about the particular interests of these different audiences. In this example, we are analyzing @Pontifex followers and comparing them with @Pepsi and @Cocacola.

A curious fact that we can discover is that the Pope’s followers prefer Coca-Cola (@cocacola) rather than Pepsi (@pepsi). This is the result of analyzing the percentage of @Pontifex followers which are also followers of @Cocacola or @Pepsi. As seen in the graph below, the 1.17% of @Pontifex followers also follow @CocaCola while the 1.06% of his followers do follow @Pepsi. This is even more remarkable considering that Pepsi has more followers on Twitter than Coca-Cola (1.074.321 vs. 645.562).

For example, if we applied the same analysis to the followers of @JustinBieber versus Coca-Cola and Pepsi: the result is the opposite and there is a preference to follow Pepsi (1.3%) versus Coca-Cola (0.75%) among Justin Bieber’s followers.

This study published is based on the analysis of a sample of 50% of followers of all @Pontifex official accounts.
