I think the parent comment was intended to be sarcastic.

How would a company like Tesla "store" such a large amount of cryptocurrency? Who would hold the private key(s)? Surely not one person, and if not, how would they be distributed in a safe way that both prevented insider theft and provided redundancy to prevent lock out?

Yep, but it works well for me in landscape view.

Definitely putting this on the projector next time I have a party.

Some interesting photos of what's possible with that technique: http://optofab.org.au/uli.html

What does this mean for someone who is quite familiar with AVR but new to Rust? How much of what I can normally achieve in my AVR projects can now be done under Rust?

But a lower thermal conductivity will make it feel less hot when you sit on it.

I'd imagine there's too much code overlap with Windows 10 for Microsoft to want to do this.

I just wish people that had to wait 20 minutes for their checked in luggage to be unloaded would stay seated until others had exited.

Cool! Firefox on mobile doesn't render the emojis though, just long strings of Unicode strings.

That seems unlikely. They surely would've done the most basic testing that would've found a bug like that. The issue here seems to be the addition of the screen cover is making all fingerprints appear similar enough to pass as the same one.

All that carbonic acid can't be great for her teeth.

Is there a theoretical limit to (current generation) battery capacity, like there is with solar panel power output?

For my home desk I used a second hand dining table. It's 2.5 metres long, cost ~$200, and is beautifully finished timber. It worked out cheaper and much nicer than building a desk out of new wood. The second hand market for furniture in my city is amazingly cheap.

You won't lock yourself out. I just did a quick test and if you reset your password (via an email link) then you are automatically logged in. At this point you can even disable 2FA. So 2FA is protecting against logging in with a stolen password, but it's not protecting against logging in if you have access to the account's email account.

Whether or not that's the intended behaviour is another question...

You'd need opto-isolated data lines. I can't see any common devices having that.

Raspberry Pi is slow for image processing. You can probably greatly increase speed if you take smaller images or downsize them before processing.

Nice.

Can L-systems support random variations? The code in the example produces the same fractal each time as the L-system is deterministic.

Friction and noise aside, it's better to have the suspension built into the frame rather than the wheels. Added weight in the wheels adds to rotational inertia, which is harder to overcome than linear inertia. A rough rule of thumb is one kilogram in the wheels is worth two in the frame for a car in terms of acceleration.

That depends on which hemisphere you're in.

If there wasn't a cost associated with completing captchas then wouldn't it defeat the purpose?

The train only runs a return route of 3km on flat track. It looks as if the train is battery powered with the batteries being charged from solar panels both on the train and at the station. It seems unlikely that the train alone could hold enough solar panels to keep the batteries charged, even when factoring in time spent waiting at the station. Mains power can also assist in charging the batteries when solar is inadequate (which is possibly all of the time?).

This train was originally planned to be diesel powered but has now switched to electric, I'm guessing due to protest from the local community.

Impressive, it's already more intelligent than half the people in my apartment building.

In terms of pure readability I find breaking the list comprehensions helps in more complex cases (and is still valid Python), e.g.:

    octets = [bbs[i:i+8]
              for i in range(0, len(bbs), 8)
              if i%2 != 0]

Huh, strange. My standalone build sucked in numpy and PyQt4 (but not PySide) no troubles at all. I did have a minor problem with ctypes (explicitly importing _ctypes was required), but apart from that surprisingly smooth sailing. I have tried Cython briefly but Nuitka seemed a lot easier; just point and go. No modification to the source code needed and I ended up with a nice .exe and a bunch of .dll and .pyd files (including those for numpy and PyQt4). Build time was 30 minutes for a small-medium size application (25000 lines) in Python 2.7.

Lately I've been using Python/PyQt with Nuitka, which transpiles the Python to C++ and then compiles it into a standalone exe + dlls. It (more or less) just works too, very cool indeed!
