The US is about 11 days behind Italy, with approximately the same growth rate (keeping in mind this is only counting confirmed cases).

Maybe this analogy would work:

Imaging a million haystacks with a million different keys scattered within them. There is a lock which only one of those keys can open; it is difficult to find the key, but when you do, anyone can easily verify it is correct by turning it in the lock. Once a key has been found, a new lock is created and the process starts again.

The more robots (mining power) you have to search for the key, the more likely it is that you will find it before competing machines do.

I'm experimenting with a hybrid approach, where the server injects a JSON string into a hidden div's data attribute, containing all the data the front end would have traditionally received through an ajax call on initialization.

It's no ideal, as the initial DOM render isn't fully populated, but it's much faster than waiting for another round trip to the server to populate the view.

Here's an example sketch using vue.js (data is in #game-data div): https://game-collector-staging.herokuapp.com/

Thanks for the link. From the summary of findings on page 78: "Glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A)."

From page 22 of the preamble: the category Group 2A "is used when there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals".

If your mattress has a tag in one corner, it becomes pretty simple to know which operation to perform next.

If, when facing the headboard, the tag is to your right, rotate; else, flip (on the roll axis).

This is fun to play around with.

Can you explain how stock splits are accounted for in the "Percent gain" calculation for this case?: http://newinvestordaily.com/what-would-it-be-worth/r/30991

Intuitively that value would be much larger (300% or so instead of 40%).

Performance reviews at Trader Joe's heavily weight customer interaction. Employees who don't engage customers very well will receive smaller raises, and eventually leave.

Exactly, it goes beyond games.

As a web developer at a creative agency, it's impossible to pitch an interactive 3D simulation or data visualization project to a client if it won't work in IE. I'd be happy if even CSS 3D transforms were widely supported.

Total lack of IE support is a bit...problematic.
