   I ordered some as well. I bet they'll wonder what caused a spike in orders today.

   If anyone is interested in solving LP's, I'd suggest taking a look at the JuMP library in Julia. It has a lovely interface for specifying math programming problems. http://www.juliaopt.org/JuMP.jl/0.17/i

   Since no one has mentioned it yet, Capture the Flag contests (CTF's) can be a good way to get into security. They are online contests featuring a series of security related puzzles. They are hosted by lots of different groups at differ

   Dave Winer's http://outliners.scripting.com/ site has some interesting history. You can download the old programs there. I remember using MORE on the Mac in the late '80s.

   I would argue that the 2004 DARPA challenge was a failure with the best car, Sandstorm, only going 7 miles before getting stuck on a rock. That led to a do-over in 2005 that was really the first success. https://en.wikipedia.org&

    Sorry, I didn't mean to spoil your fun. It does say that on the back of the book, and is mentioned on the Amazon page.

    The first 11 words are cool. But my favorite was the chapter heading that said "Five Thousand Years Later".

    You ever try the Economist? A good science section, plus global politics, economics and culture. Don't let the title put you off.

    Here's a list of the books from the glory days. https://web.archive.org/web/20120916000422/http://www.gbn.co... The book club had nice reviews of each of these books.

    It looks like an interesting list. Anyone else remember the Global Business Network (GBN) book club, with Stewart Brand? It was a great resource for so many years. Sadly, it seems to have dropped off the internet with the demise of GBN.

    According to that, there is an extra "9" they didn't show, so $3.99 rather than $3.90. So then if you deleted your 1TB each month, and uploaded new data, you'd be paying 3 times more due to the 90 day minimum charge, so

    > Wasabi storage costs a flat $.0039/GB/Month with a 1 TB minimum usage. so the only "catch" is $3.90 a month minimum?

    Another fun fact: Trent was in the jazz band in high school, where he played keyboards. (Source: a college classmate of mine went to high school with him. I always found that a weird thing to picture.)

    We all learned that fats are bad in school, along with the food pyramid. Sadly, almost all you learned about losing weight was wrong. If you're curious, read one of the books by Gary Taubes, the author of the NYT op ed. "Why we

    I went to an interesting talk once at the Boston Python meetup, where a guy figured out how to order sentences so could learn them in an order where you already knew the "other" words in the sentence. Basically, making a directed
