Will Beale fold, or see your bid? This is gripping!

I have no idea; it's in the second paragraph of TFA. What's more, this isn't the first prize he's offered: he's just upping this ante to $1M.

No, he showed that there are always statements that are undecidable. Most statements that interest mathematicians are decidable, and 100% so.

A little-known fact about Unity: Mark Shuttleworth stole the idea from a kid who dropped out of a bus-driving magnet school in Cape Town.

This reminds me of the film Minority Report; retinas at-a-distance are quick and convenient in public. One of the concerns about eyeballs and fingers is that if someone wants to impersonate me is to forcibly take them. (xkcd #538 with knives, not wrenches.) Am I safe with brainwaves? Does that de-escalate it from knife back down to wrench?

I plan to set my passthought while browsing Reddit, so the only tweets I can send are drive-byes.

Sure, I'll take you up on it. Let me just finish this script I'm working on, then we can count up the machines. On an unrelated note, the Shodan API is actually quite nice to work with...

I suppose that this might be one reason: you can't know before you visit a site whether it's going to be a worthless, crappy, admonger.

This guy had one answer: "when I travel I take only my Linux laptop." If I'm already taking a laptop to do things that a chromebook can't do, why should I have to take a chromebook, as well?

For myself, I've got a Windows partition for things like this. But I can definitely see the chromebook advantage.

Two crazy hacks?

Indeed. The last thing I want is to be fishing for my keys when my arms are full of prize-fighting eels.

Wut?

"Oh, no! My shipment of prize fighting eels! I told you to walk around the front of the car! ...Stop screaming, you baby. It's not like they're poisonous."

There was one in mine, too, but colleges started removing them about 8 years ago. Everyone had cell phones, and no one checked their student voice mail.

Wut?

On that page, they seem to be saying, "Here's the apps! Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides!" What muddies the water for me is that (on this page) "Docs" only seems to apply to the word processor, not the spreadsheets or anything else. I want to say that they were called Docs, collectively, when introduced, and Docs started to apply to the word processor only when Drive was introduced, but I really don't know for sure. I think GGP is on the right track: it's a branding issue.

This makes me think we're dealing with the inverse situation to that of the Riemann Hypothesis in mathematics: There is currently an ecosystem of math results that are currently tenuous because they rely on this huge unproven conjecture. One day, it will be proved or disproved, and all the dependent results will either be vindicated or swept away.
