You should do it! I doubt I'll decide how to turn DLS into an actual game sooner than you are able to build yours :)

One of my ideas is similar to what you describe but with more complex cases (I can't think of anything simple that will make sense). E.g. controlling traffic lights.
Great idea. One thing to note is that some cars don't like OBD dongles which continually draw power after the vehicle shuts down.

My BMW i3 sounds its alarm because it assumes that an OBD connected when the car is locked belongs to a thief.

So, worth finding someone with the same model car as you to ensure compatibility.

States have a lot of control over education funding, which is far more determinative of the quality of their education systems than the guidelines the federal government imposes. Every state has to deal with the same federal guidelines, but some have far better education systems than others -- due to funding.

Want to see education improved? Have the Feds take over funding, and give each school the same amount of money. The quality of schools in poor neighborhoods would increase dramatically, and the quality of schools in rich neighborhoods would decrease. Maybe then, the rich would be convinced to support increased educational funding.

In other countries, people don't think about the quality of the local school district when they buy a home, because the districts are all similar in quality. Again, a matter of funding.
Yeah, there aren't any yet. As I said in another comment, I have a couple of ideas on how to turn it into a game. Currently I cannot decide which one I'll be able to implement in finite time and if it'll be any fun to play.

5 Best Linux Distributions to Recover Dead Computers Data (Linux Data Recovery)
The place to watch re battery tech, in my opinion, is the RC hobby scene. Eg hobby king will sell you, for $10, a lithium graphene battery which will pump out 60C (eg for a 2 amp-hour battery, it'll give you 120A!). It's incredible whats out there for the non-risk-averse hobbyists.
Most of the libraries for analyzing CyTOF data are already open (from Fluidigm). Did you already check for their data on Cytobank?

Granted Nat Med is not as demanding re: reproducibility as say eLife or Bioinformatics, but they're not complete shits like Cell Press either. Ask the authors to open the Cytobank data if they haven't. I don't see why they wouldn't.
more saner unit system

The general idea in most of these arguments is that "more sane" is a very hard thing to define. There are cases for which metric is more useful. There are cases where it's less useful. Yet the argument is almost never actually made that way; metric tends to be presented as an ideally perfect system not susceptible to even the most trifling criticism, and any case presented in which it's disadvantageous compared to an alternative is dismissed with an ad hominem attack implying the person making the case is just too much of a stupid American to grasp the heavenly best-in-all-possible-cases-for-all-people perfection of metric.

Truth is it's an arbitrary system optimized for a particular set of use cases. The traditional-ish units used in the US are a different arbitrary system, optimized for a different particular set of use cases.

So you either have bottom as a value or you spin forever because your function that strictly produces a non-bottom value never terminates. Why is the latter preferable? Seems worse to me, since functions that are non-strict on the bottom value will still terminate.
I'm pretty good with Morse code, or at least used to be - I could copy 30-35 words per minute back in the day. But I had a heck of a time "reading" the code in this song, even at the 20 words per minute the article mentioned.

Maybe it threw me off seeing the English translation of the coded message in the article: "19 people rescued. You are next. Don’t lose hope." Would have been nice if they had included the original Spanish as well!

Must confess I even had trouble copying the "19" at the beginning. Maybe that was spelled out in Spanish?

Shout out to another base-12 fan. If only we had 12 fingers it might have happened.

Arbitrary divisions of angle aren't very interesting, since the radian is so fundamental. But there is an angle system using multiples of 100: gradians. 100 is a quarter-turn and the internal angles of a triangle add up to 200. A lot of electronic calculators still offer them (the DRG button = degrees, radians, gradians).
I've interpreted the title that way, too, but partly because it might actually make sense.

Consider this. Firefox peaked a while ago; since then, Chrome ate every other browser's lunch, and the only browser that had user share declining faster than Firefox was IE (but even so, IE still has more users). Google has the brand recognition on their side, and on top of that, they have actually made a browser that "just works" for 99% of people out there, the way Firefox never quite did.

Since contesting Chrome's market share is rather pointless, Firefox needs a niche of its own now. Integrating Tor in a seamless way would be a great opportunity to create one.
> Bios is wonderful because it's limited; Nobody wants to try shoving more functionality into it. No system management, no drivers, nothing.

Haha oh if only. I've probably worked around more UEFI bugs than any other single individual, and I've still had to deal with more non-UEFI BIOS bugs in my life. BIOS provides no kind of standardised interface to the OS, and so every vendor built their own and every vendor fucked up at some point. UEFI means there's much more shared code than before, and we're definitely benefiting from that.

In a strict language, bottom isn't a part of the domain of any function to begin with, because bottom isn't a value. Functions map values to computations (in call-by-push-value), and then we classify computations by the type of their possible return value (in call-by-value).

In any case, if you want to recover the benefits of laziness in a strict language, it's easy: just explicitly thunk computations. Here's how to do it in Standard ML:

datatype 'a cell = Pure of 'a | Except of exn | Delay of unit -> 'a
type 'a lazy = 'a cell ref

fun pure x = ref (Pure x)
fun delay f x = ref (Delay (fn _ => f x))
fun compute f = Pure (f ()) handle e => Except e
fun force r =
case !r of
Pure x => x
| Except e => raise e
| Delay f => (r := compute f; force r)

You can also provide a means to tie lazy (co)fixpoints:

exception Diverge

fun fix f =
let val r = ref (Except Diverge)
in r := compute (fn _ => f r); force r end

The type checker will tell you in very clear terms the difference between `foo` (a value) and `foo lazy` (a thunked computation), in case you forget.

On the other hand, recovering the benefits of strictness in a lazy language is much harder, less intuitive, and you don't get help from the type checker.
You can you use a giant mirror, that directs light to your ship's sail.

Don't think of it as 25% more money. Think of it as 20% fewer work days before you can retire.

It's actually more than that, since salary increases compound on each other. If you get another 10% bump next time you switch jobs, you'll want it to be 10% of the higher number, further shortening the time you need to sit in that Aeron before you can pack it in and do what you want with your life.

In the end, a lot depends on why (as somebody else hinted) you have that zero savings. If you're just going to ramp up your spending to match your salary regardless of where it is, you're better of staying where you are. If you're smartly living to your needs rather than your means and sacking away as much as possible, then it seems a pretty straightforward decision.

What do I do when my staff is trying to blackmail me for more equity?
Someone asked:
I run a business with less than 20 employees. Two of my top staff who have been with me for 4 years want more equity or they are threatening to leave and start a competing business. I don’t want them to leave but I’m not sure if giving each of them 30% of the equity is reasonable.

What should I do?

My Answer:
I can’t answer accurately until I know the full story since there is more to this than you have explained.
Here is my suggestion, take it with a pinch of salt since I’m not your certified advisor.

1. Decide if the value they bring to the business is equal to the equity they are asking for. If not, let them go.
If they are that valuable, then you should have given them that equity a long time ago.

2. Be careful about HOW you do this.
If the rest of your team sees this as weakness, others may demand for more equity as well.

Firing 1:I got fired sometime ago and the boss simply called me into the conference room at around 11a.m. He said “I’d like us to divorce our work relationship but I want us to remain friends. Please leave your work laptop. We will pay you for the rest of the month.”

Firing 2:The next time I got fired, it was a partnership of sorts. The person I was working with simply sent me an email. He talked about how we didn’t have the same vision and that he had even spoken to his father about it etc. In that instance he immediately cut off my salary. lol

Both experiences weren’t great but at least it made me respect the first CEO more for having the boldness to tell me to my face.
Last thoughts:
Think about their value to you if they stay and if they were to leave. That will help you make a wise decision.

>> biology will be inexhaustible as the novel patterns that can be produced by evolution are effectively infinite

But why do you assume they would be interested in observing the patterns that actually have been produced, instead of running high-precision evolutionary emulators that can generate patterns that could be produced at a much higher rate, and maybe even some automated filters to condense it down to "interesting" stuff? It's still knowledge, and there's no innate value scale for knowledge which says that things that have "actually happened" are more valuable.

In fact, how's that for Fermi paradox? Civilizations that are sufficiently technologically advanced to communicate, much less travel, across the stars, are also sufficiently technologically advanced to simulate the things they are interested about and get answers faster that way.

Basically, the end result of any civilization is creating, maintaining and expanding a simulation of the universe. Which, of course, goes recursive...
Same deal for metric, though. I know I need 0.75mm2 for small appliances, 1.5mm2 is your run-of-the-mill cable for up to 10A (equal to 20A at 110V), 2.5mm2 and 4.5mm2 for heavy-duty circuits.

I have a couple of questions:

- Why can there be only one risk type per IP? What if an IP is a honeypot and botnet. It would make sense to me to have a list of threats or a different value for each.

- Why is the threat level a string? Is it meant to be compared for equality only?

Also your docs need a lot of work. I would like to know specifically what threat types there are currently, what their slug is and what specifically they mean.

> the majority of people in the US do not

Actually, the most populous 48 urbanized areas in the country constitute over 50% of people. Let's continue to design our cities such that you can't live in them without a $8000/year recurring cost (average cost of car ownership). That will certainly help the people who don't have relatively infinite resources at their disposal.

My comment was also specifically referring to cities. I guess people in less car friendly countries are just totally incapable of vacation or employment eh? Who'd've thunk.

Don't do that to your users.. I always browse with Chrome somewhere between 1/3 and 3/4 width; the number of sites that try to use mobile view is ridiculous - if my width is <1024px I must be using my phone? When did that become acceptable?!

Browsers can enforce Certificate Transparency for certificates from a given CA; once they reach the point of enforcing it for all CAs, browsers will no longer trust a certificate issued surreptitiously and not logged in the CT logs.

And even before that point, any site using certificate and CA pinning can protect against the use of the "wrong" CA to issue a certificate for their site.

> Especially not when the CA's alternative is Serious Legal Consequences of ignoring a NSL.

I'd love to see the court case brought by a CA that refuses to kill their entire business. But in any case, eventually, a certificate issued secretly by a CA won't be trusted by any browser, NSL or no NSL.
I'm not denying there are real breakthroughs. But I am noting that for every 100 breakthrough press releases only a very very small number eventually make it to market. And that's besides the outright scams (solar panels made from human hair?).
Yes, that's the core of the issue. The US is a big monobloc, an economic superpower with not only the most advanced economy but also a lot of the history tied to developing the world's industries.

Other places saw more benefit to adopting SI units either because they were smaller and closer to lots of other places with a need to harmonise, or playing catch-up. My own country, Britain, falls in the first group - though the population still uses some everyday old units, it didn't manage to be a hold-out despite its historic position and industrial heritage.

It's hard to see the position being static in the longer term though, particularly if world economic growth gradually leaves the USA with a relatively smaller slice (in absolute terms much bigger, but a smaller proportion) of the larger future world economy.
