There's no such thing as the American driving test - every state has their own test and their own rules. Using the far right lane to turn is supposed to be safer for cyclists by reducing the possibility of right hook collisions. It is,

I wonder if the creators were aware of Robin Hanson's market maker mechanism, in which an automated market maker always accepts a trade. It limits its potential losses by offering increasingly worse terms as the market deviates from ev

Exactly - even if your process is conceptually a Markov chain, your code doesn't have to explicitly enumerate all of the states. I used a similar scheme to your example, but with letters for generating a word for http://pass

A profit motive can lead to perverse and unforeseen incentives, even despite the best intentions of the founders, who someday will not be running the company. The private prison industry routinely lobbies for higher fines & longer sente

I've seen WireGuard recommended here pretty strongly, so I started looking into it, but I couldn't see exactly how it could replace OpenVPN for us. We have an OpenVPN bastion for access into our VPC, and each engineer has their ow

Under the hood it uses Sprint and T-Mobile's cell networks, so you're not completely free of them. But otherwise, yes it's a great replacement and the billing/plan is much better than the regular carriers.
