That almost entirely binds to what responsibility they had in regards to the company. If they weren't legally insiders, then even if they had more knowledge than the broader public does (which in this case may be irrelevant depending on a few things), they won't be carrying liability.

To be clear, selling doesn't make them liable for fraud committed by Theranos, if they had no role in managing the company. Even if a lawsuit were brought, you're going to have one helluva hurdle in getting any liability to stick to said investor/s without proving direct involvement.

Doing anything about insider trading in a private corporation, has historically been a challenging area for the SEC. They have often previously been more hands off, but they've gotten more aggressive about it lately:

"On December 12, 2011, the SEC announced an enforcement proceeding that serves as a useful reminder that the federal laws against insider trading and misrepresentation apply as forcefully to private companies purchasing stock from employees and other shareholders as they do in the public company setting."

This is what happens when you use colloquialisms and are otherwise vague when providing a brief to copywriters who don't primarily speak English. In other words - be specific, avoid slang, and don't leave any room for strange interpretation.

I imagine the brief for this went something like this: "Here are a bunch of keywords to write about... tell us about how it works, what makes it tick etc" and the rest is history.

> Yes, every connection has a (small) thread stack associated with it. But in a "truly asynchronous" network program, every connection still has memory associated with it; it's just that the memory doesn't take the form of a procedure stack.

That's also true with 1:1 threading. It's just that the context switching is handled by the kernel.

Semantically, there's no difference between what Go does and what NPTL does. The difference is in implementation: Go does a lot of the work itself in userspace, while NPTL does the work in the kernel. (I say NPTL not to be pedantic but because there were pthreads implementations in Linux that used Golang-like schedulers. They were abandoned in favor of NPTL because the extra complexity was judged to not be worth it for small if any performance gains.)

You're right of course that you need per-connection state in any model. But with a state machine you can be much more compact than a call stack. Modern compilers (I doubt this includes Go 6g/8g, but haven't checked) will do stack coloring to reduce stack usage, but the overhead is still significant because compilers essentially always choose runtime performance of straight-line code over stack compactness wherever there's a tradeoff. State machine compilers, like C#'s async/await compiler, make the opposite choice, and as a result they can use less memory. Moreover, with state machines you can go the extra mile and really pack your state into a tiny fixed-size allocation you can allocate with a segregated fit arena. That's pretty much unbeatable for performance.

So the resizing alone makes Imgix very valuable to us. We're in an interesting situation though, where we have relatively few `master` images, but hundreds of renders per image, which are then seen millions of times each month. That's a perfect fit with Imgix's pricing model.

We tried Imgix on a few other products where we had tens of thousands of images being uploaded each month and only seen a couple hundred times per image. That became prohibitively expensive — which is probably a similar situation that you ended up in (high number of `master` images to render ratio).

In addition to realtime resizing, we use:

- face detection
- typesetting
- overlays
- cropping/point of interest cropping
- color palette
- exif/image metadata
- client hints
- automatic content negotiation

From the chart in the article, this particular model generates a well defined signal between roughly 1550mhz and 1590mhz.

The BeiDou[1] and Galileo[2] system both operate in the same band, but have an additional band around 1250mhz they operate in.

The GLONASS[3] system operates on two bands, one just outside this one (roughly 1598mhz to 1606mhz) and one lower band around 1246mhz.

GLONASS would appear to be the only one completely not susceptible to this particular device, though a device that would be effective on GLONASS is probably available as well.

I don't know the technology well enough to say for certain that the BeiDou and Galileo systems would operate in the presence of this device, but I believe they would.

It's a balance between man and machine, between tradition and progress.

F1 racing cars would be faster if they replaced the driver with a computer. The fans want to see the skills of the driver tested, so the sport bans common driver aids like traction control and anti-lock brakes.

Cycling with motors isn't cycling, it's motorcycling. Allowing motors would change the sport in an undesirable and irrevocable manner.

In cycling, technological progress is governed by the Lugano Charter. Technology is an intrinsic part of the sport, but it is not allowed to play a dominant role.

Sure. Adelphia Cable was a large company - the fifth largest cable company in the US - founded by John Rigas, and he was indicted when it imploded:

A few other examples from that time are not as clean when it comes to the direct "entrepreneur" part. Kenneth Lay is sometimes considered the founder of Enron, but he didn't build or found most of the pieces of it. Bernie Ebbers of Worldcom was a bit closer to being a traditional entrepreneur story:

"Ebbers began his business career operating a chain of motels in Mississippi. He joined with several other people in 1983 as investors in the newly formed Long Distance Discount Services, Inc. (LDDS). Two years later he was named chief executive of the corporation. The company acquired over 60 other independent telecommunications firms, changing its name to WorldCom in 1995."

Crazy Eddie is a famous story, but quite a lot smaller than Theranos (well, in regards to b.s. market valuation):

"At its maximum, Crazy Eddie had 43 stores in the chain, and earned more than $300 million in sales" [that $300m in sales would adjust quite a lot higher in today's dollar]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Eddie

Bernie Madoff is maybe the most famous example (he ran his own firm for 48 years!):

Have you ever used an electric assist? a 50Wh battery weighs very little[1], the motors are similarly light, even by road-bike standards. Remember that there is a minimum weight, so you have a small amount of deadweight to play around with as well.

That would give a pro biker a 10%[2] increase in power usable over 1 hour of the stage. It would make the uphill parts way better while negligibly affecting flat terrain and downhill.

1: Maybe 300g for such a battery were it lithium polymer. Lithium primary cells can be even lighter.

2: Or 5% increase in power for 2h, &ct.
To Save Something, We Have to Eat It
Any feedback is appreciated.
I've been teaching a class (http://apprenticeworks.us) based on the same original repo it seems like you found. I made a lot of the same changes as you as well. I ended up abstracting a lot of the "optimization" type code (the sectors for example) and changed the way the state of the player is kept to support multiple players in the future.

Not sure if you'd be interested, but I have some content I'd be happy to add for background type information (i.e. degrees of freedom, calculating movement, frames of reference, etc). Might make a good starting point for contributors but not sure if that's the direction you see your documentation taking.
It's hard to disagree from my own perspective of a commuting cyclist who would like to see racing drive cycling advancement in ways that trickle down to affordably solving the last mile(s) problem for the human race, but allowing more than a single human as the source of power would simply transform the sport into something else. It's not necessarily better or worse, but using a motor is a fundamentally different activity and begs all sorts of arbitrary dimensions/mass/power restrictions or else it turns into a motorcycle race. There might not be a more efficient animal than a human on a bicycle, but we don't hold a candle to a Ducati.
Solar doesn't much compete with petroleum. Its main effect is to reduce prices for coal. You'd expect that this might start to affect the profitability of coal companies eventualy....

For solar to affect petroleum, whose primary use is transport, we'll need to solve the storage problem. Tesla notwithstanding that has not happened. Electric vehicle sales were 0.66% of unit auto sales in 2015, and actually represented a sharp numeric decrease from 2014.

(The dollar volume is higher given the higher price of electrics, but it's unit sales you want to watch.)

I've got about 150 Watt Hours from a ~900g battery on my cheater bike. (link below)

I dunno how much ballast a really lightly built race bike has to carry these days, but even a quarter of that energy would likely make a dramatic difference - at 25W of assistance (which is something like 10% of a rider's total long-term output) a battery 1/4 the size/weight of mine would provide 90mins of assistance. Would that be "worth" 250 odd grams (plus motor and controller as well...)

No idea why the hivemind is downvoting you, but you're absolutely correct.

A couple of additions and caveats.

Friend of mine at ORNL has been talking up compressed air energy storage (CAES). I'm somewhat dubious due to the Boyles law heating/cooling problem (gasses heat when compressed, cool when expanded, and the resulting heat flows affect both efficiency and equipment function -- gas turbines don't spin well when iced solid).

Pumped-hydro is the most efficient storage solution bar none, but is painfully restricted by siting opportunities. Being able to use oceans as a lower baisin might address this, though salt-water engineering is a significant concern (corrosion and other issues).

Interesting to see molten salt as at large scale that pencils out a viable for even, say, a two week total energy replacement solution for the US. You'd need tankage (insulated) roughly corresponding to current Oaklahoma oil transshipment storage facilities.

Electricity-to-fuel is another option, with Sabatier and Fischer-Tropsch cycles both proven. Carbon source from seawater appears somewhat promising, though my concern is that there's been 50 years of research without a large-scale demonstration project, making me suspect deeper issues.

I actually am a fan of load-shedding, and suspect that the concept of dispatchable load as opposed to supply may be part of the future way of thinking.

Coal => gas is a no-brainer, though also not a total solution, by a long shot.

Geothermal is highly underrated, especially if currently protected areas are opened for consideration. The Yellowstone caldera could possibly supply up to 15% of total US electrical demand.

Hm. I love the idea of a logic proof, but is this correct? In the limit the Tesla runs out of battery and you can't push it up the hills.
I would give KSP a shot, since it has direct lessons to learn about physics, aerodynamics, celestial mechanics, etc that many aerospace engineers don't have intuition about. The simulation is good enough that I learned a ton about celestial mechanics as a PhD student in aerospace.
So use chromium? Or have your messages stored by a third party in clear text - which seems like a far worse option than having a browser you don't otherwise have to use at all, installed.
But it's conceivable they've found ways to shave the bikes weight down even lower to accommodate the battery and motor.
Totally agree.

Speaking of engineering, why not either place the motor in the seat/seat-post itself which would obscure those infrared cameras (as the heat would look natural) or insulate the area around the motor and let the heat exhaust through the seat which would accomplish the same thing?
