That's how Google Glass works. It needs to talk to your cellphone.

Congratulations! It's Fictionary for slang, as far as I can tell? I would be worried about the size of the dictionary and replayability. A real dictionary never runs out of obscure words.

Excellent :) Of course there's something to be said about the ability to realistically answer reliably.

Interesting exercise, which I'd call impossible in the given form. Imagine someone magically came up with 32 statistically independent binary indicators. Now you need to come up with the 33th question Q such that if you pick any two pe

Regarding fact 1., consider that today 40% of those theoretically supposed to serve never wear a uniform for a reason or another (Roger Federer was famously deemed physically unfit). Switzerland still has an unusually large army, but it has

What's crazy is that if you take the golden ratio, multiply it by 2, substract 1, square the result and finally raise 10 to the power of the inverse of what you obtained, then you get exactly the R5 ratio :)

This looks very useful. I had not realized it until now, but a CL-to-URL upload/download service is something I always unconsciously desired. Encryption is a nice bonus. (My personal preference would be to deploy the service on my own

The 1:12 project is at the same stage as the basic income one: up for referendum. Latest polls showed people were still undecided (vote is at the end of November).

One thing to consider is that today in Switzerland if you don't work you can already get around 2000CHF/mo in social programs and health insurance subsidies. (Most) people work nevertheless, if only because working brings you mu

That was not through referendum, though. The dynamics are very different. Interestingly enough, when asked, the parliament tends to be more open to change and experimentation than the people.

Depending on your age, previous employment, where you live and current situation, you may in fact get a similar total today in Switzerland by combining unemployment and social insurances with health insurance subsidies, and maybe even prefe

Before anyone gets too excited, let's remember that this is also the country where the people voted against raising the required paid holidays (2012), for substantial cuts in unemployment allowances (2010), and for increasing the VAT (

I find using the compose key easier than remembering Unicode points. For em dash: `Compose - - -`, for en dash: `Compose - - .`.

I am not associated with CVC4 directly (or Z3 for that matter). Something that is true for all these tools is that they evolve very quickly. As a result, you're better off building from source. In both cases, that means running `make`

You could start by quickly browsing through the huge list of papers that cite Z3 [1]. Microsoft uses Z3 extensively for bug finding for all sort of products, notably through the SAGE tool. There is a great write up on its impact. [2] From t

If you bypass AirBnB, you will not benefit from their insurance coverage. I have heard of cases where recurring guests would try to arrange the next deal directly, and that factor was always the decisive reason for the host to decline.
