   I have a Project Euler ( https://projecteuler.net/ ) account. Though I do not register at all on the leader board I will sometimes work obsessively on a problem just to make one of the level icons light up for me. There is no

   While not making any new points I certainly believe this is more or less true. It would be nice to see high schools in the US with more hands on classes. Not just job training but things for everyday life. Shop classes, ag. classes, home ec

   I have talked to my bank and was told not to roll them, they just throw them in a machine to count them and deposit the money in my count. It is not uncommon to see people bring in a box of coins and the bank takes care of them.

   As far as the calculations go, the same way. It would be the numbers we put on the screen that would change. It would make ascii numbers difficult.

   As far as the "non-" you might look at From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylidene_fluoride#Safety... "PVDF is widely considered safe and ubiquitous used for water treatment,[24] the food industry,

    I do not have any polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene (PVDF-HFP) but I wonder if there is a similar DIY option. It sounds like it uses little bubbles in the paint to reflect the sunlight. I would really like something like this her

    Do Waymo cars have different "personalities" in different cities? It occurred to me that drives in different places drive differently and maybe the cars adapt.

    I think that is hat was meant and I wonder about that also. Adding: Looking some more I think it would be nice if the rotation could be stopped. Labeling the axis would be nice also.

    I do not have strong opinions, except to ask why? I use python a lot (recreational these days) and do not miss a GOTO. Maybe though, you have a case I do not run into often.

    I think that is a little like pi. There is a limit to what we can measure. In a real life drawing on paper the "one point" is not dimensionless. There is a limit to what we can draw.

    I am glad it looks like Waymo is taking safety seriously. If they are getting into fewer crashes (serious or not) that is a good thing. It is worth remembering, imho, that the ability to avoid a crash, whoever is at fault, is an important s
