Silver and gold "rounds" (as they are called) minted by South Africa (Krugerrands), USA (Eagles), Canada (Maple Leafs), Australia, New Zealand, and so on are nearly as liquid as $100 bills, and you'd probably only lose at most 5% . 90% silver US coins minted before 1964, as well as very common date and poor condition US gold coins also are easily bought and sold fairly close to spot.

(Edit, adding: I just did a quick peek around the web and found spreads as low as 0.6%, if you buy and sell with that same particular company. In fact they also will hold it for you so you don't even have to physical take possession and deal with mailing or transporting it at all. While I would expect they may have some rules about that, it does show how competitive the market is and gives some idea of the situation.)

If you buy gold and resell it whereever then you have cash. The casinos in Vegas don't ask a lot of questions, nor does anyone else, really...(yes, this includes the good ol' Moonlite Bunny Ranch too..lol)

All I'm saying is that you can easily get cash from credit cards which you can then buy whatever with, so I just don't see the point (well, I may...) of them limiting your usage of their cards.
Sorry, but this misses the point completely. The guide is about implementing communication on platforms that can be so tiny that using embedded OSes like FreeRTOS becomes tight and the RAM might not be sufficient to store a single TCP/IP packet. A full blown HTTP stack is a luxury that is way beyond these platforms. Besides, how do you do implement HTTP over I2C or SPI?

The complement of the set of normal numbers has measure zero. A normal number is what the author of the paper is talking about when referring to random numbers. I think most mathematicians, if they had to bet, would bet that sqrt(2) is normal. It is not known though. If it is normal then it’s digits are random.

I haven’t read the paper but I think the author is arguing that most real numbers don’t make sense physically. If sqrt(2) were shown to be normal and since it’s the hypotenuse of a right triangle of legs with length 1, I wonder what the author's response to this would be. Perhaps he’d say that such a triangle doesn’t exist physically.

Where did you get this 130M number? I see $47 million on marketing in https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2016/2016_Mozilla_Au... and $60 million on "General and administrative".

How much marketing spend do you think Google had on Chrome in 2016?

How much should office space for the number of people Mozilla has cost, in your opinion?

It's usually referred to as "c". I'm not sure what you're asking? It's like saying "3 is the number that follows 2", and then asking "yeah, but what really IS the number 3, man?". The answer is: it's the cardinality of the sets which can be in a bijection with the power set of the natural numbers.

If you're referring to the continuum hypothesis, that is a distinct question from "what is the cardinality of the real numbers". Also: a solved one, the contiuum hypothesis is independent of ZFC, so saying "we don't even know what the cardinality is" is still wrong.
Most of the comments so far seem to have missed the point of the RPi specifically, which is that it was always intended more as an educational tool than commercial solution. The idea of the RPi foundation is to promote experimenting and hacking by selling a board cheap enough that you don't care too much if you ruin it.

This was explicitly a response to the rise of smartphones(/smart-whatevers) which turned computing into magic by sealing off all the components and preventing any hands-on work - students were enrolling in to computer science degrees with nearly no understanding of how a computer is fundamentally put together.

There is no reason for RPi to change from their very successful mission - they will keep putting out the best hardware they can squeeze into their fixed price point.
It also would make sense for schools and sports teams to be unrelated. It's bizarre that they are so tightly integrated.
A New Definition of Work Ethic
Yes, the cost of things is more expensive in dense cities, but by 2x-3x for some services and not at all for buying a pair of jeans from a retailer - those prices are pretty much uniform everywhere, modulo state/local taxes. I'll argue that one's quality of life is better in SV on $250k vs $70k in the rural midwest or $100k in a midwestern city - obviously this will depend on spending patterns, which depends on personal preferences. But for me, it's a conscious decision to make more and spend more on a west coast city.

A morning routine involving no phone, computer, etc. for the first hour of the day has been great for me.

I usually wake up, make coffee, read for about 30 min, and then gratitude journal and plan my day. (I use Panda Planner purely for convenience, I'm sure a blank sheet of paper works as well.)

This allows me to set my own schedule and prioritize my day, rather than reacting to the demands placed on me by others. I've seen improvement in both 1) my general productivity and 2) my progress on the long-term tasks I'd usually be more likely to put off.
I'm also curious. Is it true for position/momentum/energy/spin/... of any particle?

AFAIK energy levels of electrons orbiting around a proton are discrete quanta but are all other things above also discrete, or can some be continuous?

What about the hidden quantum state of things?
Well, computable numbers are countable, so almost all real numbers are non-computable (also they're dense in R).

So while your objection is valid, in practice any truly randomly selected real number is non-computable.

I wouldn't call it paid for by employers. It's a tax on your employer to employ you. It goes directly into the cost of your employment along with your salary and your benefits. If it weren't for this tax you could make more money. You are paying it just as much as you are paying "your half" of social security.
This was actually posted 5 years ago, but never got any attention. I think it is quite interesting and would love to see solution to the puzzle in other languages.
Lots of folks mention: taking their lunch, or anyway not going out to eat.

I did the opposite: I go out to lunch every day. Gets me out of the office, out of the rut, meeting other people (never eat alone!) and working out relationships (business or otherwise).

Then back to work, energized and with a fresh outlook.

But of course I'm at a different place in my career, where the cost is something I gladly afford for the benefits. I don't need $50 a week for anything nearly as important or beneficial.
Is there some sort of consumer psychology behind this whole 'as a service' push? It seems like monthly bills kind of go in the back of people's heads and they rarely consider the full cost in the way they do normal purchasing. Maybe we should have a law surrounding subscription services since it seems like they're making increased profit off exploiting a tick in the human psyche as opposed to actually making a better product.
It might not seem like this is a big deal. For now that’s probably right; but Netflix has aspirations to do nightly news and if that’s intended to be live or near real-time we should be comparing their uptime with broadcast TV. When was the last time ABC or Fox went off air?

Again, not right now, but at some point this sort of outage becomes critical and will probably deserve more scrutiny.

I’m impressed by how reliable Netflix is, hopefully this just pushes them harder.

And maybe even prepares them for a less neutral internet.
If you are buying 1600 oz. of silver, why not just buy 21 ounces of gold instead? lighter! But honestly I doubt too many people even have limits that high on their cards.

Anyways, as an American who's grandfather landed on Normandy in WWII and who actually has roots back to the Mayflower (I do!) the very idea of an "SAR level" makes me fricking sick. Disgusted. People should be free to do what they want with their money and not have to tell anyone anything, period. Not only with their money, either..with their free time, the communications, their travels, their bodies and souls...LIBERTY should not just be an empty slogan on cheap metal coins and in songs and engraved on old stone statues.

It is really too bad what the USA has become, and I hope that the future will see a brighter day for "we the people"..
Since they've been acquired, hopefully it'll get considerably cheaper now.

You need to double check your interpretations of what I said. If you fail, you fail. If you treat it as a good lesson and learn something from the result, is that the failure making you learn or is it you?
Aside from that, you have described yourself in the remainder of your comment's criticism of me. Go ahead and check out of a real conversation with me even though you don't know a single thing about me. You've already done all the damage. People in the present might be fooled by your pretense to humility and ability to diagnose arrogance, but in the future people will look back on our comments and find it very easy to discern that you don't even know yourself.
I think the point was that the chair viewed as a per-employee "tax" has benefit to the employer, but this head tax doesn't.
Bread doesn't need added sugar to feed the yeast, though. There's plenty of food for the yeast in the flour itself.

Bread may benefit from added sugar if your primary goal is trying to increase your yield from an industrial process. Sucrose is also really easily digestible for yeast, so I wouldn't be surprised if a dough with added sugar rises faster than a bread that's made with regular ingredients.

I think that this sort of thing is part of the general problem with added sugar: There are all sorts of practical reasons why you might want to add a little bit of sugar to products. (As another example, a lot of commercial hummus contains it as a preservative.) But a bunch of individual products using a little bit of it for their own individual purposes adds up to a whole lot of excess sugar consumption for the people who are eating all that food.
It really remains to be seen whether these approaches will make any difference in efficacy or cost of pharmaceuticals.

Blindly thinking that having better simulations of proteins and drugs is going to solve any of the hard problems has led to a great deal of waste.

In November, I wrote a personal update later and found some people that I hadn't talked to in over 5 years. I sent 10 people that letter and said if more than 5 reach out, I am going to do this monthly. 8 of them reached back out! I felt honored that people still remembered me and wanted to keep up.

I've been doing as vulnerable a letter as I can every month. And people I know from all sorts of relationships are reading it. Friends, family, mentors, you name it. Covering everything from work to romance to health. Not only has it helped me get more vulnerable, but it keeps me up to date with others, and when I see people in person they already have a conversation to start with. Overall it's been awesome and a highly recommend it for keeping relationships alive and strong.
Those toddlers' parents may not have received the greatest nutrition education. In the 1980s, ketchup was famously declared a vegetable (despite being mostly sugar). Anecdotally, as a child in the U.S. during that era, I remember being marked wrong on a nutrition worksheet where I identified milkshakes as a dessert. No, my teacher insisted. Milkshakes aren't dessert. They're dairy.
This would mean huge refactoring, which i'm sure they'd never accept. The only way to go was to start something my own or fork. OTP team prefers changes which do not degrade performance, as I'm essentially optimising for size, while they optimise for speed and compatibility.
My friend does the Go Train from Oshawa to Toronto every work day. She spends the time on the train either reading a book or watch a video of a show she is following.

On the way home she will sometimes watch a movie and finish it at home. Time on the train does not have to be work or a vegetable.
I was wondering if anybody was going to mention silicone tape. I hadn't even heard of it until a few years ago, now I always make sure I keep a roll handy. Fixing cables, random things around the house, the stuff is super handy.
Maybe this is worth updating on wikipedia.

They didnt know that around freezing you have equilibrium that is both melting and freezing.

As you leave that the equilibrium shifts to freezing only.

But none of those are really random either. The only sensible definition of randomness here is Kolmogorov complexity, and all of those numbers you just mentioned have incredibly low Kolmogorov complexity. I can write a tiny computer program that prints them out to billions of digits.

What the author is probably referring to is "non-computable numbers", which are numbers that cannot be computed to arbitrary precision by ANY Turing machine. But it's incredibly confusing and wrong to use the term "real numbers" to mean "non-computable numbers".
I've been trying the opposite lately -- a high carb diet. I've mostly been modeling my eating style after Dr. McDougall's "Starch Solution" plan. He basically believes that humans are designed to eat starchy foods (potatoes, whole grains, etc), and that fats are bad (healthy fats -- like from avocados -- aren't necessarily unhealthy, but aren't great if you are trying to lose weight). So one of the core tenets of this plan is to keep fat and protein very low, and roughly an 80/10/10 percentage of carbs/protein/fat, which means cooking without oils, butter, etc.

The staple of my diet is potatoes. I eat potatoes nearly every day, and I eat a lot of them. My favorite way is to slice them up into wedges, add some spices, bake them, and then dip them in mustard. I also eat lots of rice, beans, oatmeal, bread, occasionally something like cheerios for a snack, etc.

The beauty of this plan is that if you stick to resistant starches, and keep fat low, you don't need to count calories. You will likely feel full before you will overeat calories. I'm down about 15 pounds since starting in February (6 ft tall, down from 195 to 180ish), and I've got the most ab definition I've ever had from JUST a diet (I'm barely doing any cardio right now). But more importantly, I feel really good.

Anyway, this is not to undermine a ketogenic diet. I think both are effective ways to feel good and look good... either eating low enough carbs that your body burns fat (Keto), or eating low enough fat that your body isn't storing any. I just enjoy experimenting with different ways of eating, and this one happens to be working great for me right now.
Interesting. What I like about this is that if you're subconsciously procrastinating by avoiding doing the thing you need to do (by say, justifying something else less dreadful to do), this is immediate feedback that will snap you back to reality to focus on the one thing.
Statistics aren't sexist. Looking for reasons to be outraged is counter prodctive to any discussion
I have been cycling to work, during my 4.6 km commute, every Friday, for the last three months now. (1) I save about USD 10.00 every Friday: a substantial amount in the part of the world I live in (2) I get off work two hours early on Fridays, so I use this time to explore the city (3) This is a form of exercise for me.
I've been recording a video a day (1 second), it makes me be more conscious about finding something meaningful every day, and watching the result at the end of the year is really rewarding.
Meh. That is true if you are selling thousands or more of an item, but for small companies, custom boards can be a nightmare. I worked for a company once that put literally two full weeks of debugging into a problem caused by a flaky diode batch.

Well written reporting, to the point, and with counterpoint too. As far as IBM's research efforts, yeah they have drawn lots of duds over the years...
That was part of the comment: at that point it's more like a co-founder not an employee. So: very few obviously.

Perhaps more reasonable is 1-2% per for the first 5-10 hires, then 0.5-1% for the next batch, etc.

Also I really think these should be RSUs, not options. Employees are already invested in the startup by paying a premium in the form of reduced salary and opportunity cost.
Depends on what you're measuring.

Local stations regularly go off air. Sure, some stations outside the range of your antenna might work but effectively their just down. For national events they will fail over to the local stations and keep broadcasting, but if the content is not there they are just down.
Counting calories. I finally lost 50 lbs and learned that when I’d go to the gym or go for a run, I’d compensate by eating more, which is why I never lost the weight I wanted in 20 years of regular exercise.

I still exercise, but now I do it to 1- get stronger, and 2- earn calorie budget so I can eat more.

Got a kettlebell and do a short workout for 15min once per week. On top of that, go to a free, body weight "boot camp" with a handful of friends once per week. Started doing that in February and already feel more energized and healthy.
Looks like the problem existed (on their RPM package) since 2016[1], notably, the reason given by their contributor was:

> The /bin/sh stuff is due to Ubuntu symlinking dash to /bin/sh and that reacting badly with both the R shell wrapper and some Microsoft R Server features. I believe we fixed the R shell wrapper features last release by explicitly requesting bash and we will be fixing the R server features next release. 3.3.3 should be updated with these fixes.

That sounds dystopian. Does the government also ban adults from eating certain foods or just children?
I've done something similar lately (not eliminating sugar but setting a hard daily limit). Some tips, if you don't have a lot of time to prepare food from scratch:

- if you need bread, there are some pitas that are low on sugar. You can also find tortillas with minimal sugar and make wraps instead of sandwiches.

- if you need a prepared meal, some canned soups are very low on sugar.

- a homemade salad dressing made of lemon juice, olive oil, and pressed garlic is delicious, and takes only as long to make as it does to press the garlic - a week's worth takes about 5 min

- no-sugar-added peanut butter can be delicious, especially if it's made with salt, and is easy to find at the grocery store these days. It goes well with carrots, celery, pretty much everything

- cheese generally does not contain sugar. Other dairy, such as milk and plain yogurt has sugar but its natural rather than added sugar.

- eggs are great for quick prep, and you can scramble them up with vegetables and cheese in minutes. Or hard boil a week's worth at a time

- nuts are spectacular for snacking
This seems like just a money grab. No thanks.
