Q: Want to show a hidden button using onclick How do I make a hidden Button called "Add to Cart" appear using onclick?
I have the rest of my code to call function packageTotal(), but need an add to cart button appear also.
<input type="button" value="Submit"
onclick="javascript:packageTotal();addtoCart();">

A: You need to dynamically set the class of your button
For example, if you have a button like so:
<button id="add-to-cart" class="hidden">Add to Card</button>

and in your css file:
`.hidden{
    visibility: hidden;
}`

and when you want it to appear, just remove the class!
$('#add-to-cart').removeClass('hidden')

A: If this is in JS/jQuery then I would have the element created in the html and have the CSS display: none; on that element. Whenever it is you activate that element and want it shown then I would simply grab it and use .show() (A jQuery function).
$('#addToCart').onClick(function() {
    addItemToCart(item);
    $('#shoppingCartButton').show();
});

A: I think question in not clear.. If you are asking how to show Add to Cart button which is hidden while another event is triggered then.. you can use: $('#addToCart').show(); where #addToCart is id for the button.

COVID-positive people have more severe strokes, study finds
Among people who have strokes and COVID-19, there is a higher incidence of severe stroke as well as stroke in younger people, according to new data from a multinational study group on COVID-19 and stroke, led by a team of Geisinger researchers.
The COVID-19 Stroke Study Group's latest report, published in the journal Stroke, focused on a group of 432 patients from 17 countries diagnosed with COVID-19 and stroke. Among this group, the study found a significantly higher incidence of large vessel occlusion (LVO)—strokes caused by a blockage in one of the brain's major arteries that are typically associated with more severe symptoms. Nearly 45% of strokes in the study group were LVOs; in the general population, 24 to 38% of ischemic strokes are LVOs.
The study group also had a high percentage of young patients who had strokes: More than a third were younger than 55, and nearly half were younger than 65. Pre-pandemic general population data showed 13% of strokes occurred in people under 55, and 21% in people younger than 65.
The data showed that that less-severe strokes, mostly in critically ill patients or overwhelmed health centers, were underdiagnosed. This finding is significant, the research team said, as minor or less-severe stroke may be an important risk factor for a more severe stroke in the future.
"Our observation of a higher median stroke severity in countries with lower healthcare spending may reflect a lower capacity for the diagnosis of mild stroke in patients during the pandemic, but this may also indicate that patients with mild stroke symptoms refused to present to the hospitals," said Ramin Zand, M.D., a vascular neurologist and clinician-scientist at Geisinger and leader of the study group.
Throughout the pandemic, people with COVID-19 have reported symptoms involving the nervous system, ranging from a loss of smell or taste to more severe and life-threatening conditions such as altered mental state, meningitis and stroke. A group of Geisinger scientists and a team of experts from around the world formed the COVID-19 Stroke Study Group shortly after the pandemic began to study the correlation between COVID-19 infection and stroke risk.

Results from the first phase of the study, which included data on 26,175 patients, indicated an overall stroke risk of 0.5% to 1.2% among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection. The finding demonstrated that even though there were increasing reports of patients with COVID-19 experiencing stroke, the overall risk is low.

Parkinson's-affected brains that receive neuron transplants appear healthy after 14 years
Published	 Monday 9 June 2014	 Published	Mon 9 Jun 2014
When transplanted into the midbrains of adult patients with Parkinson's disease, dopamine neurons derived from fetal tissue can remain healthy for many years. The findings reported in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports suggest that transplanted neurons don't degenerate over time as some had suggested and feared they would, which provides further rationale for pursuing stem cells as a source for transplant-ready dopamine neurons, according to the researchers.
"Our findings show a robust expression of dopamine transporters and a lack of abnormal mitochondrial morphology in implanted dopamine neurons for at least 14 years after transplantation," said Ole Isacson of Harvard University and McLean Hospital. "Our data therefore suggest that transplanted dopamine neurons can remain healthy and functional for decades."
The tremors and other motor symptoms that characterize Parkinson's disease result from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in part of the midbrain. Neuron transplantation can replace failing neurons with healthy ones from a donor source, but there were questions about the health of those transplanted cells over time.
In the new study, Isacson and his colleagues examined dopamine neurons in five patients who had received fetal cell transplantation four to 14 years earlier. Their examination showed normal expression of dopamine transporters. The transplanted dopamine neurons also appeared to remain healthy and functional over time, with no signs of the degeneration characteristic of Parkinson's disease.
Isacson said it is now clear that fetal cell transplantation has been beneficial for patients with Parkinson's disease; some patients have continued to improve clinically for decades without any medication for the disease at all. However, the therapeutic approach - in which a cell suspension derived from fetuses is injected directly into the relevant portion of the brain - has been offered to only a limited number of patients participating in clinical trials.
The researchers say they now hope to advance on alternative sources for dopamine neurons, particularly from induced pluripotent stem cells made from a patient's own cells. "Our findings are extremely encouraging and timely for the field of regenerative medicine and for advancing stem cell-derived dopamine neuron transplantation as a restoration therapy for Parkinson's disease," Isacson said.

Know your car insurance terms.
There's no doubt that car insurance can be both expensive and confusing. It's also extremely important.
That's why it's important to take as much of the mystery out of subject as possible. To do that, you'll want to know just what certain car insurance terms mean. Here's a rundown of some common terms and what they mean.
Collision coverage is car insurance that covers the cost of damage to your vehicle no matter who is at fault in an accident, according to CNET.
In many cases, this is the kind of insurance you'll want for your car. " If you drive a new car, a classic or just something near and dear to your heart, collision coverage is a good buy — in fact, if you're financing your vehicle, it's likely a mandatory expense," the site rights.
A deductible is the money that comes out of your pocket before your coverage kicks in. A high deductible usually means you'll pay less in premiums, while higher premiums often usually bring lower deductibles.
"To put it another way, a high deductible can save you money every month. You'll have a big bill to pay, though, if you file a claim," according to QuoteWizard.
Comprehensive coverage is coverage for damage not caused by a collision. That amounts to plenty of possible problems.
"Ex-lover took a baseball bat to the quarter panel? Covered. Hit a deer? Covered. Car stolen from the mall parking lot, caught fire during a riot, floated away during a hurricane? Covered, covered and covered. As with collision coverage, comprehensive is worth the price if you drive a new or otherwise valuable car (and it, too, could be mandatory if you're still financing your ride)," according to CNET.
Liability insurance is the minimum amount of car insurance. It pays for damage or injury you cause to others, but doesn't cover your vehicle.

The Shrine fez bearing the name Khartum, so familiar to many people in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario today, was relatively unknown until 1905 when Khartum Temple was introduced, established and chartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, through the efforts of members of the Masonic Order, Scottish and York Rites and the Shrine of North America. Thus, the name "Khartum", taken from the chief city in Sudan, became Temple No. 95 in the Shrine of North America and the fifth temple to be chartered in Canada.
As membership rapidly grew throughout the Shrine of North America, the Imperial Shrine officers recognized that Shriners had to have a mandate that would keep their membership united in a common purpose. Thus, in 1922, was established the Shriners Hospitals for Children, which to this date is known as the "World's Greatest Philanthropy". Its mandate was to set up and maintain a network of hospitals for treating children with orthopaedic or burns injuries. In 1923, Khartum Shriners proudly sent their first three patients to the Twin Cities Shrine Hospital for Children for treatment at no cost to the children or their families.
In earlier years, as the membership of Khartum grew, meetings were held at several venues throughout Winnipeg. Before moving into its current premises, the Temple was located in the former Ashdown residence at 529 Wellington Crescent, noted for its prestigious charm, beauty, presence, location and historical significance.
In 1937, Khartum was given jurisdiction over the Lakehead and Northern Ontario areas, which extended the Temple's jurisdiction from the Saskatchewan border to approximately 120 miles east of Thunder Bay.
In 1949, the Winnipeg Unit of Shriners Hospital for Children was built and in operation shortly thereafter. This was the pride of Khartum and was, no doubt, one of the main reasons for its membership growth as loyal and committed members served and supported the Shrine philanthropy. With the introduction of the Canadian universal medicare system, the Winnipeg Unit of Shriners Hospital for Children was turned over to the Manitoba government in 1977.
Khartum also introduced the Stop Burns Injuries Program, which provides fire-prevention educational services to school children as well as a public service to senior residences and other organizations interested in preventing burns injuries.
Our philanthropy has been further enhanced in Khartum through the recognition of children in need of our services with the introduction of the Khartum Patient Transportation Fund, which is a registered charity. The fund has enabled Khartum to triple its patient load of children requiring and needing our no-cost medical services.
We recognize and proudly salute the support received from our various Shrine units operating out of Winnipeg and our Shrine clubs outside the city. All members of these units and clubs stand proud and tall for the many contributions they make in terms of time, effort and resources to the Shrine of North America and to the communities, towns and cities they represent.
Over the past several years, many fund-raising initiatives have been introduced and well supported by hardworking and committed nobles and their ladies who assist our whole organization to fund general operations and to help children who cannot help themselves.
In 2000, the Temple moved into its new and permanent home at 1155 Wilkes Avenue in Winnipeg, where it services the needs of its members and offers first-class facilities to the public for meetings and other functions and events.
Khartum Shriners and their ladies remain fiercely proud of the contributions and services we provide through our obligations and commitment to the "World's Greatest Philanthropy".

The first known Shriner in this area was created in the first class of Khartum Temple in 1905.  There were many Shriners in the area during the ensuing years and in 1937 Khartum Temple was granted jurisdiction for Northwestern Ontario.
The Lakehead Shrine Club members are also members of units. Each unit has its own purpose and personality and contributes to the club as members of a family. As a family we share many good times and grow in fraternity as we unite our efforts to help crippled and burned children.
The Mission of the Shriners is to be the Premiere Fraternal Organization for men of good character; committed to providing attractive, quality programs and services for its members, their families and friends in a spirit of fun, fellowship and social camaraderie; fostering self improvement through leadership, education, the perpetuation of moral values and community involvement; and serving mankind through the resources of its great philanthropy, the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The Descendents
Redirected from The Descendants
The Descendents are a punk rock band from southern California, formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta[?], bassist Tony Lombardo[?] and drummer Bill Stevenson. However their only release with this original lineup was "Ride the Wild"/"It's a Hectic World", a double A-side of melodic surf-pop.
In 1980 they enlisted singer Milo Aukerman[?] and reappeared as a punk band, firmly entrenched within the hardcore scene developing in Los Angeles at the time. Their first release, 1981's Fat EP, was a furious six-minute barrage of teen angst and goofball humour, featuring such songs as "My Dad Sucks" and "I Like Food". Their debut album the following year, Milo Goes to College[?], introduced an element of melody and sensitivity that set them apart from most other hardcore bands. Songwriting was shared among the band members and Stevenson's songs in particular were to greatly influence the melodic punk-pop bands of the '90s.
Milo Aukerman really was off to college, to embark on an education that would take him as far as a doctorate in biochemistry, while Bill Stevenson became for a while the drummer with fellow hardcore punks Black Flag. The band did not record again until 1985 with the album I Don't Want to Grow Up[?]. This, and the subsequent albums, Enjoy![?] (1986) and All (1987), saw the band playing a slower and less angry style of rock music with less impact than the debut album, although songs like "Coolidge" still packed an emotional punch. There were also several lineup changes over this period: bassist Lombardo was replaced first by Doug Carrion and then Karl Alvarez, while guitarist Navetta was replaced by Ray Cooper and then Stephen Egerton.
The band finally disbanded in 1987 to be replaced by All, who continued the legacy of the Descendents. They reformed with Milo Aukerman in 1996 to record and tour the album Everything Sucks[?], a return to their early-80s punk style, and are now rumoured to be working on a new album.

Q: Apple Pay iOS in app payments I am looking at integrating a payment mechanism into an app.
I have used stripe and Apple Pay and can successfully take payments.
My question is do all Apple iPhones support Apple Pay?
Is having just Apple Pay sufficient or do I need another system if Apple Pay is not available on some devices?
What is the best way of approaching this?

A: With regard to "Do all Apple Phones support Apple Pay",
The list of devices that support Apple Pay are listed on Apple's support page
Essentially, it is:

*

*iPhone SE, 6, 6S or 7 (plus anything new that comes along)

*iPad Pro, Air 2, Mini 3, Mini 4 (plus anything new that comes along)

*Apple Watch

*Macbook Pro with TouchID or a 2012 or later Mac paired with an Apple Pay enabled iPhone or Apple Watch

iPhone 5 and 5S are the notable omissions from this list (although I believe that iPhone 5S can be used if it is paired with an Apple Watch).
More importantly, just because the device is Apple Pay capable, it does not mean that the user has enrolled a card into Apple Pay (It may not be supported by their financial institution or they just may not want to use it).
As to "what is the best way to approach this?" - This is subjective and is off-topic.

MAJOR TROPHY
One very good reason why the work of Blackpool's music service so effectively supports curriculum delivery is that 90 per cent of the peripatetic staff have classroom teaching qualifications. So, in addition to support for music-making, reviewing of schemes of work, support for non-specialists, NQTs and teaching assistants helping to monitor, assess and report on pupils' progress and being available by telephone at all times (sic), that could be said to account for why all the authority's schools now use the music service! 58 per cent of schools were involved in WCIVT provision and all the indications were that that proportion would rise to beyond the initial period with brass and guitar tuition (violins were less popular). Transition from year six to seven was facilitated by continuation of the policy of offering all pupils a new instrument on starting high school and development of an authority-wide programme identifying secondary school destinations.
There were weekly rehearsals for 24 wind bands, six orchestras, 30 choirs, 20 pop groups, one staff choir, one SEN brass band and 33 "show companies". Apart from members of the show companies 20 per cent of the school population rehearse in an ensemble training week. Collaborative and partnership working with six other LEA music services and over 20 arts and community organisations and professional ensembles was a praiseworthy feature of the year.
East Ayrshire were the lead authority in a consortium of education authorities across central Scotland working with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra to introduce key repertoire to secondary school students. Teacher CPD was a part of the YMI funded programme. With NESTA funds interesting and potentially valuable action research was conducted across eight special schools to investigate new musical instrument development and implement a range of activities related to music, movement, sensory awareness and general health. A cultural exchange with schools in Northern Ireland with a singing and traditional music focus was particularly successful as was an early years interactive musical adventure with Scottish Opera: "Big Hairy Hamish, the monster who cared" raised important environmental issues such as re-cycling and healthy eating and involved 388 pupils both as contributors and performers.
Lower string tuition, having been identified as a gap in provision, was significantly increased, leading to more pupils joining school string and symphony orchestras as well as other authority-wide ensembles.
Collaborations and partnerships with an incredibly wide of music, arts and public bodies was once again an outstanding feature of the East Ayrshire music education scene as was the INSET and CPD provision. Finally, we again commend the authority for maintaining their policy of not charging for tuition or instrument hire and providing free transport to rehearsals and concerts.
Given their generous funding of arts organisations, especially those concerned with music, Edinburgh must have one of the strongest cases for the title of arts capital of the UK. That same spirit of generosity clearly influenced the policy of not charging for tuition or participation in bands or ensembles of any description. The appointment
of five part-time neighbourhood music co-ordinators was responsible for improved development of opportunities for instrumentalists who were not yet part of City-wide bands or ensembles and for instrument specific training. As well as an already commendably broad INSET programme, the service had introduced a pilot professional review and development programme for instrumental staff with an accompanying CPD framework. A successful evaluation indicated significant and beneficial outcomes for all aspects of the service.
Whilst it would be almost reprehensible if the authority did not fully exploit its favoured position, we could not but be impressed by the range of scope of the involvement with professional practitioners within all the expressive arts. And we join with Jazz Services in applauding the £33k contributed to the Edinburgh International Jazz Festival and related education events.
The North Lanarkshire initiatives we commended in our last report were sustained and indeed developed over the year; and it almost goes without saying that the authority's commitment to meeting the INSET needs of their staff and to substantial delivery of rock and traditional music education was in no way diminished either. We were impressed by a "Music for All" project which was accessed by seven special schools. The courses enabled young people to experience and learn basic music concepts, to use music technology and how to explore rock and pop. Collaborations and partnerships with the RSNO, RSAMD, and Scottish Opera among several others enriched much of provision throughout the authority. North Lanarkshire's policy of funding music education to the tune of £1.3m represents a first class example of Scottish authorities' commitment and a powerful reason why over 19 per cent of the school population were involved in weekly music activities provided by the music service.
Oxfordshire strengthened the student voice on the music service's governing body and extended the authority's music education group to embrace over 30 local musicians and organisations committed to sharing resources and using them more efficiently to reach more young people. The low percentage of schools involved in WCIVT was being addressed directly with primary heads and through increased funding and INSET. A range of measures ensured that parents were involved in and informed of the tuition process. Attendance at five INSET days continued to be the minimum contractual obligation. A senior manager had designated responsibility for CPD.
The range and scope of opportunities for regular ensemble performance across a wide spread of genres, and encompassing the full range of abilities, with due regard to the importance of progression, continued to be an outstanding feature of music education in the county. The music service continued to build on its good record of meeting the needs of pupils with SEN. Exceptionally, that provision was also being developed in the "gifted and talented" context.
Southwark made a massive investment in the development of the WCIVT programme. Thus 72 per cent of eligible schools were involved; and 75 per cent of pupils continued beyond the initial programme. Over 60 per cent of Southwark's pupils were from African or African-Caribbean heritage. On offer was singing from pupils' own cultures whether African, Caribbean, South American, European, Irish or Asian; African drumming, a jazz programme, and, as a pilot for one term, ocarinas for folk music and samba. There were innumerable music technology developments over the year, much of which was designed to support the WCIVT programmes. INSET provision was similarly favoured.
The authority's proximity to major conservatoires and orchestras and top performing arts organisations continued to be fully exploited; and staffing levels in secondary schools, music centres and for WCIVT increased over the year.
We were delighted to welcome back Warwickshire after an absence of nearly ten years when they were awarded the major trophy. They were yet another authority to reorganise their music service with a radically different staffing and management structure resulting in new area music education teams designed to ensure by a major shift of funding to less advantaged areas that the whole county had equal access to music education. At the last reckoning, music service provision reached over one third of the school population. One of the first of the county services to be awarded Investors in People status, the county music service (CMS) attributed its success to the quality and effectiveness of its staff, all of whom participated in regular self-evaluation and SWOT analyses. So, what stands out in this submission? For the Panel the following:
in the course of 2008 all primary schools will have ongoing WCIVT as part of their normal CMS provision and without charge;
dedicated staff to ensure expansion of contemporary and popular music and music technology;
successful expansion of choral initiatives and chamber music festivals;
live music performances, all genres, by professional musicians in all schools on at least one occasion in the year;
developed intercultural/world musics work as a regular and integral part of CMS provision and as part of curriculum studies;
INSET similarly integrated with curriculum training;
Music education funding for all eight county nursery schools;
An exceptionally high commitment to provision for pupils with SEN and/or disability, and an expansion of music therapy;
Expansion of provision for adults.


Another fair warning: This post is very photo-heavy. Probably more so than Monday's post.
An after dinner stroll along Lake Wakatipu. Full outfit post (and my love confession for these sneakers) can be found here.
Everywhere we turned, a new waterfall seemed to spring up.
This (not so little) guy tried breaking into our car, I kid you not, looking for food. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), he struck out with us so he made his way to the car behind us.
See what I mean? Unreal.
An afternoon cruise out exploring Milford Sound.
A lazy kayak day down the Dart River, near Lake Wakatipu.
Since we wanted to spend most of our time in this area, we pretty much set up camp in Queenstown and rented a car to head to nearby excursions when necessary. Our first day was pretty low key -- we wandered around the city center and along Lake Wakatipu after dinner. Queenstown is a cozy mountain retreat, which was a welcomed change to just unplug a bit and enjoy the views around us.
For our first full day, we headed out to the Dart River, which feeds into Lake Wakatipu, for a jetboat ride and a leisurely kayak back to town. The weather turned a bit on us at this point and rained, but we didn't seem to mind as the scenery was just so breathtaking. A lot of the neighboring mountains here may look familiar as they've made their claim to fame in Lord of the Rings (hello Isengard -- yes, I'm nerding out again). I especially loved our kayak ride back, where we took a quick detour to explore some tucked away channels and chasms. Plus, it was pretty adorable how Dan insisted on paddling for the two of us (which I let him do a few times).
Next up? We went wine tasting, but not on purpose actually. Originally, we had intended to go skydiving our second day in Queenstown, but the winds weren't cooperating so all jumps had been canceled. Luckily, Queenstown is certainly not lacking in their nearby vineyards (New Zealand Pinot Noirs are hard to beat!) so we jumped in the car and headed to the hills. A few favorites of mine included Gibbston Valley, Amisfield and Waitiri Creek.
After wine tasting, we headed west for Milford Sound (about a three hour drive from Queenstown). This part of our trip was definitely a highlight for us. While you could certainly sign up for a tour bus to take you out there, I highly recommend you drive out there yourself so you can sight see along the way. We headed out for a lake cruise on the Sound (which was incredible given than it had just rained and had created a ton of temporary waterfalls) but it was actually the drive back that stole our hearts. So many little different day hikes to explore with forgotten coves, cascading rivers and glacier runoffs. It was fun to just disappear for the afternoon, with no wifi or cell reception and feel lost.
Our final day, was the BIG day. The day I voluntarily jumped out of a plane. Despite letting my nerves get the best of me the night before (I hardly slept!), I'm really glad I did this. And you know what guys, I HATE heights. HATE THEM. The funny thing about being up at 12,000 feet is that it doesn't quite feel like a real, tangible distance to fall. Of course, the initial jump out of the plane made me think otherwise for a split second (not to mention my stomach dropped a million times over) but eventually, your body adjusts to the point that it just feels weightless. And before you know it, BOOM, the parachute opens and you can just enjoy the view floating back down! I absolutely loved the crew over at Paradise Skydive -- all extremely professional, patient and my tandem partner didn't give me a hard time for all my screaming. :) Plus, that view over Lake Wakatipu is hard to beat.
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, which is located right on the lakefront. Our balcony alone offered the best little spot to enjoy a bottle of wine and a quiet view over the water.
Too many to keep track of!
Fergburger: This came highly recommended by pretty much everyone in town. And man, that line wasn't for nothing! Lots of niche meats to choose from, including lamb, venison and an array of fish burgers.
Their salmon -- hands down. So good.
It's easy to skip and ignore the diet while on vacation (after all, that's part of the point, right?) and we certainly were guilty of this. What I loved about Vudu Cafe though was their assortment of fresh juices, especially their Green Goddess. I had this the morning of our skydive and felt refreshed, despite the awful nerves!
And on a side note, hope to see some you San Francisco folks at my event tonight at Elizabeth Charles on Fillmore street! Party starts at 6 -- discounts are up to 40% off nearly everything in store! Full details can be found here.
It looks like slice of paradise !!
Wow what an amazing location!!! The photos are so stunning.
Gorgeous pictures! That bird! Oh my too funny!
Wow...the pictures are amazing....thank you for sharing.
your sense of adventure is beautifully evident both in your landscape images, your "activity" images, and certainly in your wardrobe images. what a beautiful representation of your trip!
You are really adventurous! I am scared of heights so not sure I could do that free falling stuff.
Oh my gosh! Gorgeous pictures! And you're so adventurous! I would be scared to sky dive.
I have always wanted to go to New Zealand. You certainly are adventurous. Very very lovely pictures.
I am so insanely jealous of you - I've always wanted to go to new zealand. my cousin married a new zealander and I was HOPING that they would have their wedding there (that wish didn't come true). Your photos are incredible. such a blast!
Krystal, the cheeky bird is a Kea (pronounced 'key-uh'). A native NZ parrot. They do this all the time to tourists to my wee country... pick things off cars, steal shiny objects from picnic hampers - you name it! They have no shame!
These shots are AMAZING. So wonderful -- makes me want to grab the passport and go tonight. What camera and lens did you use for the landscape shots in this and the last post? Seriously -- stunning!
This looks like a lot of fun! Bungee jumping??????? Oh WOW!
Krystal, You are totally living the dream in this vacation. ;). Amazing adventures and pictures. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

BOOOOM! That was challenging and fun. I wish the language of the challenge were easier to understand. For example, the lastAn should have been named "lastAnswer" so as to be easier to understand. I thought lastAn was some kind of mathematical term. I would recommend the person responsible for making these challenges read "Clean Code" by Uncle Bob Martin!
I completely agree, the wording of the question is terrible. I thought 'lastans' would be assigned the value of 'size'.... Your comment put me back on the right track. Thanks.
Agree the wording is not goode enough. I was not quite understand his explaination why he came up to the output initially. Got it and solved the problemm finally. Thanks.
Agreed, very confusing wording of the question. For me, the use of curly braces in the example made me think, wait, should seqList be a set? But he said it was a list? Does the word sequence suggest it should be ordered? I guess this question reflects real life, when the client cannot express accurately what they want!
completely agree.. question is not explained well enough to write code..
Also, they say "size", which is non-specific, when they mean "length". Size could be size in memory.
Agreed that the wording was a bit odd.
The usage of "size" instead of length is consistent the Java list interface, but not so much in general.
Just adding a comment because I understood this incorrectly. Size is the y % length of seqList[index].
So it is the length of the sub-array in the seqList array with an index ( seq ) calcuated from the original XOR ( ( x ^ lastAnswer ) % N ).
Thank you! Thank you! After banging my head on the wall for an hour trying to understand their modulus statement, this cleared it up. Such a poorly written set of instructions.
Determine sequence number using ( ( x ^ lastAnswer ) % N ).
( y % size ) tell the index in an sequence. we need assign value at that index in the sequence(Step 1) to lastAnswer.
what is wrong with this code as it is giving only one positive test case?????
Why don't you print lastAnswer when it's 0?
The problem is seq calculation returns a value much bigger than N, the actual length of seqList.
There are 2 queries , when to use which query?Like in the example they are executing 3 type 1 query and then type 2. When to switch from 1 to 2?
I had the same doubt. The query formats are: Query: 1 x y(for query 1) & Query: 2 x y(for query 2).
No in real life, you ask the client clarifying questions. If you build using unclear requirements, you will fail.
I found that the example at the bottom contradicted what the explanation of the different queries did. They actually detail 2 different operations.
true. I find it unnecessarily hard to understand. The example is organized in a bad and confusing way.
WOULD ANYONE MIND HELPING ME TO FIND WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PROGRAM?
n is number of sequences so ther might possible more then 2 sequences. In that case you need more array like b,c.Max possible size of these arrays are q so there you can also save some memory.
Thanks a lot friend!I got my mistake.
I have the same problem can you explain??
after every query value of lastAns will be updated according to query type.
what is the size of every sequence??
according to me it must be n, but i'm guessing that size of each sequence should be exactly the amount of elements that are present at that moment.
Yes, the sequences start of as size 0 and grow as you add elements in.
Yeah. That sentence has terrible phrasing.
Sequence is a dynamic list. in Java Arraylist or in C# List is ok to use i think?
watch each input line after the first one.
Thank You So much. Really it was unclear.
oh, without your explanation I've could not figure it out. Thank you!
how to create N number of arraylist dynamically ??
where length is the first int read from the input.
Or you can just create and ArrayList of ArrayLists.
each element i in the list arr will be another ArrayList.
Many, many users have repeatedly asked that others not post their code in the discussions. If you wish help with your code, simply say so, and if another user responds yes, then send them a private message. Please.
Is this really true? I've never seen others comment on this, and it's seems to be a function of the discussion board to post your (working) result and compare to others' solutions.
I find it much better to just submit your code, then copy the link and posting it on here. It seems to be a way to deter people from just copying the code and not learning anything. The submission link method requires them to forgo any points if they have not completed the problem.
Why did you do lastAnswer=s[(x^lastAnswer)%n][y%s[(x^lastAnswer)%n].size()]; in the column sec for s?
what will that do ? will it declare 2d vector of n rows ?
I wrote this and i am getting Run time error. ALmost same code. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working.
# Complete the dynamicArray function below.
Funny thing is it's a simple piece of code, just 11 lines in python, shame the question is so poorly framed.
After reading the description several times, trying to map the output to the input, then reading the comments, reading the description again, taking a ten minute break, reading the description again and only after that realizing what the types of query actually means, I have to agree that it was fun too solve. Seriously is there any way to obscure the intention any more? The description is way to hard for the work that has to be done.
Agreed - I read the question start to finish twice and still don't completely understand what the question is asking.
When you first read the question you look over at the difficulty level and wonder if "Easy" is relative to a genius. The person who wrote this question definitely needs to rewrite it so it's more clear.
No, the sign of a genius is to be able to explain a subject matter to a child. This guy couldn't explain to me how to work a faucet if he wanted to.
Boy, I had no clue what he was asking about. I did not understand what the problem is.
So true. The question was really abstruse. Kind of infuriated me.
Agreed! Problem discription is way too confusing.
can u please explain the question?
Hard to read, it made me want to avoid that challenge.
I completely agree, the wording of the question is terrible.
The style of writing used was very much the kind we find in technical books or some textbooks. It is closer to "mathematical language".
3 years later, and it's still worded in a confusing way. Also, the mathematics appear to use non-standard symbols.
The example gives (1 XOR 7) % 2 = 3. So 1 XOR 7 is 6, but 6 mod 2 gives 0. So apparently they mean integer division when using the % sign??? Who does that??
Edit: Oops, never mind. Re-read it once again, and they do go with 6 mod 2 = 0. But the zero is then used as an index into array1 (3,5), and LastAnswer is set to that. That's where the 3 comes from. Okay, I think I understand it well enough to start programming finally.
I am still wondering if the difficulty I found to understand the challenge was because I need to study more or was because the question was made in a confusing way?
Question is so confusing. Cloud you please re-frame question?
You just need to break it down into each part.
There is a dynamic array of sequences.
two finds the sequence at a calculated index and prints the value at the calculated subindex.
Thank you for the simplification. Can I ask what, precisely, you mean by a 'calculated index' though?
x y: Print the value of the (y mod size)th element of the ((x XOR lastans) mod N)th sequence. Here, size denotes the size of the related sequence. Then, assign this integer to lastans.
Think of it like a hashmap with buckets: the sequences are buckets, and you are inserting a new collision at the end of the bucket's linked list.
Yep if N=2 then you would mod 2. Since I chose some of the same stuff as the practice problem I have now modified my answer to reflect two sequences instead of five for clarity.
Thanks jensbodal, the hardest part of it was deciphering the extremly poorly worded question/explanation.
} is the logic right here ?
Thank you clear explanation, the original problem statement is really ambigious.
Without your explainations i couldn't solve. Thank you @jensbodal.
the inputs are 1 x y. Unfortunately, I am reading it as 1xy(1 multiplied with y).
Have a confuse about task.
Find the sequence seqList, seq , at index ((x xor lasAns) % N)in seqList.
what is x, what is y? x, y not confirm, how we can get the index?
See post from "jensbodal" (6 months ago) - he explained x, y, etc.
Apologies for any offence caused to the author/writer of the quiz, it's just, I would be really grateful if someone could help me decipher what the question is asking for?
I've read the questions about 5 times, and am struggling to understand what it is that is needed to be done?
This is a simple "do as you are told" thing, with a direct straightforward implementation and no algorithmic cleverness needed. I wonder why it is marked "difficult".
Dynamicly increasing the size of the array in for query (1) might be why its marked as difficult.
 Although if you in Java if you use an ArrayList then it does seem like a very straight forward problem. If you understood the question and could walk through the example on paper you can implement a solution.
Yeah, they should perhaps limit this problem to something like C++ or C, without all the goold ol' memory errors its perhaps a bit too easy.
C++ has the vector container that works pretty much like Java's ArrayList, so it'd be as easy as it was for you in Java. And I agree with you that it should be limited to C or some language that don't have builtin dynamic array types. The biggest difficulty in this challenge is interpreting the text :-/.
Why do we have to dynamically increase the size of the array for query 1? Something MOD n will always return a value less than n.
Please have readable question libraries. You questions very poorly written. It needs more effort in undertanding the questions than solving the questions.
Please improve the question descriptions.
the language used for this question is really weird specially for people who think in terms of python.
I have a question about whether we should use Array of ArrayList, or just 2D array.
When I used array of ArrayList, I spent twice more time as using 2D array. Yes, I use ArrayList, but ArrayList.get(index) only needs constant time like array. And @__spartax used System.arraycopy, which requires O(n), which is exactly how ArrayList works when it has to expand its size. But he expanded the size everytime. Yes, I have a higher space complexity because of ArrayList, but I don't get it why my algo spends twice time as his. Thanks in advance.
First of all your algo uses Scanner. Using BufferedReader will improve performance of your algorithm. Secondly ArrayList is just a wrapper for Object and System.arraycopy is a native method.
Hey, Can you explain why is this required!!
This solution helped me to figure it out that creating a new List>() was too expensive for some cases. When I changed it to new List[N]. It makes sense.
Hi. The problem asks us to save a bunch of lists and perform queries on them. How would we represent 1 list? Well, an ArrayList<Integer> is a good choice instead of an int since we don't know the final size our list needs to be.
Now that we know how to represent 1 list, how should we represent a bunch of lists? Well, we can use an ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>, which is basically a list of lists. Creating this data structure is the main challenging part of this problem.
The rest of the code just performs the 2 types of queries on our data structure.
@rshaghoulian Using java8, do we have a option to make a 2-D array in which outer structure is array and inner structure(each element of array) is ArrayList? As here we have fixed value for n (outer dimension) but changing length for each element of array[n] i.e. ArrayList inside Array.
I don't think that's possible, and the compiler will prevent you from creating such a data structure. This is because, when the compiler goes to allocate memory fo this 2-d data structure, it won't know how much memory to allocate, since it doesn't know the size of each item in array (since they're variable size ArrayLists).
You can still try it out to see how the compiler responds.
I got close to the same solution of yours after some hours of work. However, the problem was formulated a bit confusing. It was more to understand what one wants. Problem is not so hard once you get it.

As explained in chapter 1 and 2 above, the Portal uses a set of controlled vocabularies to link together archival holdings that share a creator, or are otherwise related by subject, geography, individuals or corporate bodies.
Let's look at an example to see how you can use these links to quickly find other descriptions that are related to a given archival holding. In the screenshot below you can see the description of the collection "Ašmenos kalėjimas" (or "Ašmena Prison" in English) held by the Lithuanian Central State Archives.
The creator of this collection was "Ašmenos kalėjimas", an organisation described in more detail in the EHRI vocabulary of corporate bodies.
The thematic subjects of its content include "Prisoners", "Statistics" and "Arrests", terms taken from the EHRI thesaurus of subject terms.
It is related to the Oshimanyy Ghetto, which is a place name taken from the EHRI vocabulary of Ghettos.
As you can see the collection is also related to another place, namely Ašmena itself. However, none of the EHRI place vocabularies include this term - and the method described below to locate related descriptions does not work for this term. You can easily check whether a given term is taken from an EHRI vocabulary: if the terms gets underlined when you hover your mouse over it and is clickable, it is taken from an EHRI vocabulary, otherwise it is not.
As you can see this description provides you with more useful information about this organisation - however, what particularly interests us here is the list of "Related Items" that is displayed toward the bottom of the screen. As you can see in this case the only related item is the description of the collection "Ašmenos kalėjimas" itself - i.e. the archival description from where we started.
However, clicks on other terms lead to better results. For instance, if you were to click on the "Oshmiany" place term, you would find that the Portal hosts another archival descriptions that relates to this ghetto: namely the "Atrinkti duomenys iš Flossenburgo koncentracijos stovyklos memorialo" (or Selected Records from the Flossenburg Concentration Camp Memorial), held by the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum in Vilnius. Or, a click on the subject term "Arrests" will you lead you to a long list of other archival descriptions that share this term.
While thus using linkages via EHRI vocabularies can in many cases be very useful, you should proceed with due caution. As explained in Chapter 2, currently only a small minority of the archival descriptions available in the Portal have been linked to vocabulary terms. Therefore, you should never assume that you have retrieved all relevant descriptions when you click on such a term. For instance, a simple keyword search for "Arrests" will retrieve many more archival descriptions that are relevant to this theme than can be accessed via the method outlined above.

Emmy and Academy Award nominee Janet McTeer has been cast in a regular role as a foil for Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) on the fifth and final season of Damages. (She got an Emmy nod for HBO mini Into the Storm and an Oscar nomination for actress in a leading role for Tumbleweeds in 2000.) McTeer will play Kate Franklin (nice American name), a former colleague of Hewes who joins Ellen Parsons, and who may or may not be involved in the big Patty-Ellen blowout. She looks like she could land a solid jab.

Russell Wilson Set for Epic Showdown vs. Aaron Rodgers in Divisional Playoffs
Brad Gagnon@Brad_GagnonTwitter Logo NFL National ColumnistJanuary 6, 2020
Mike Roemer/Associated Press
Two quarterbacks in NFL history have passer ratings above 100. One is Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and the other is Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks.
Both are headed to the Hall of Fame, both have a Super Bowl win on their resume, and both are still trying to refine their legacies on the north side of 30.
And both will be on the field at Lambeau next Sunday.
Including the playoffs, it'll be the eighth-ever meeting between the superstar NFC quarterbacks. Wilson has won four of the first seven, including a comeback victory at home en route to the Super Bowl in the 2014 playoffs.
But Wilson hasn't won in Wisconsin since he was a Badger in 2011. He's a perfect 4-0 against the Packers at home, but he's 0-3 at Lambeau Field, where he's thrown six interceptions and has a 60.4 passer rating. Green Bay won those games—which took place in 2015, 2016 and 2017—by a combined 46 points, with Rodgers posting a 112.9 rating.
Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod
It'll be the Seahawks coming to Lambeau Field next Sunday. Russell Wilson's 81.9 career passer rating against the #Packers is his lowest against any NFL opponent.
But all of those meetings took place before Rodgers suffered a fractured right collarbone in 2017. The reality is he hasn't been the same player since then. Prior to that injury, the two-time MVP had a career passer rating of 104.1. Since then, his completion rate has dropped by about three percentage points, and his passer rating has plummeted to a barely above-average 95.6.
Meanwhile, Wilson is coming off quite possibly the best season of his eight-year career.
Despite a slew of injuries and limited support on both offense and defense, the two-time NFC champ led the Seahawks to an 11-5 record and the second round of the playoffs thanks to his remarkable deep passing and poise under pressure. He generated 34 passing and rushing touchdowns while throwing a career-low five interceptions, he finished tied for the league lead with four fourth-quarter comebacks, and he and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs were the only quarterbacks in the league with 110-plus ratings on 100-plus deep passing attempts during the regular season.
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
And the 31-year-old continued to carry the Seahawks on his back on Wild Card Weekend. Even with opposing defensive stud Fletcher Cox on a tear, and with very little help from a depleted running game, Wilson completed four deep passes of 24-plus yards, generated more than 25 yards on two other passing plays and rushed for more than 15 yards on a pair of scrambles as Seattle topped the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9.
In a heroic road performance in a hostile environment against a resilient opponent, he and the Seahawks converted on five of seven attempts on 3rd-and-10 or longer (excluding a fourth-quarter kneeldown). That included a 24-yard pass to DK Metcalf on a 3rd-and-11 (which led to a field goal), a 38-yarder to David Moore that set up a second-quarter touchdown, a ridiculous 18-yard scramble on 3rd-and-15 and a 36-yard rainbow to Metcalf to put the game away in the dying moments.
B/R Betting @br_betting
Russell Wilson & DK Metcalf put it away 😤 (via @NFL) https://t.co/bp6yqhlf2F
His clutch play enabled Seattle to win despite 11 penalties to the tune of 114 yards (compared to just 45 penalty yards for Philadelphia), despite facing lots of pressure from a savage Philly defensive front and despite the fact that Seahawks backs Travis Homer and Marshawn Lynch rushed for a combined 19 yards on 17 carries.
Wilson accounted for 370 of the team's 382 offensive yards.
But the Packers are in better shape than the Eagles, who have been annihilated by injuries and were forced to use 40-year-old backup quarterback Josh McCown for the majority of Sunday's game. Rodgers is still Rodgers, and he and his experienced supporting cast will have had two weeks to prepare for Sunday's divisional-round matchup with Wilson and Co.
Unlike the Eagles in the wild-card round, the Packers are favored.
Yet that shifts the pressure to Rodgers, who certainly has less gas left in his tank than Wilson. It'll eat Wilson up if he falls to 0-4 in his career in Green Bay, but he's still been to twice as many Super Bowls as Rodgers, who is five years his senior.
ProFootballReference @pfref
This is Russell Wilson's 9th playoff W, as many as Aaron Rodgers 👀👀👀👀https://t.co/0Pf453bYGw https://t.co/7BkSwyDKYE
Few expected the Seahawks to be here. There are very few excuses for the Packers if they don't prevail.
Unlike Wilson, Rodgers has a healthy and productive running game at his disposal. The former lost his top three backs in the final month of the regular season, while top Packers backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined for 2,271 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns this season.
Jones ranked fourth at Football Outsiders in DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement) as a rusher, while Williams ranked in the top 10 at the position as a receiver.
Unlike Wilson, his defense has two top-notch, healthy edge-rushers in Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith (not to mention Kenny Clark inside). And he also surely has a stronger and more stable offensive line than the one that was bullied over and over again by Cox, Derek Barnett and the Philly defensive line Sunday.
At Football Outsiders, Green Bay's line outranked Seattle's line by a wide margin in terms of both adjusted line yards and adjusted sack rate during the regular season.
But because this is the NFL in 2020, most of the focus next Sunday evening will be on two players—both of whom are trying to leap obstacles to improbably capture a second championship. And because it's the NFL in 2020, the legendary quarterback who plays best at Lambeau Field next Sunday is likely to represent the team that remains alive next Monday.

Q: How can I re-enable the path in Chrome's address bar? In its latest update today, Version 34.0.1847.116 m (April 9, 2014), Google Chrome removed the full URL from the address bar. This is super super annoying to developers who want to be able to see the path and parameters. Instead, Chrome only displays the domain, presumably to make some lame URL hacking exploits (http://malwa.re/www.yourbank.com) impossible to pull off.
I know the URL is visible if I press Ctrl+L, but that's inconvenient. How can the old style full URL be brought back in the address bar / omnibox?

A: An an earlier question pointed out, you need to go to

And disable all the Origin chip stuff.

Statement on Senate Inquiry into Definitions of Meat and Other Animal Products
The Alternative Proteins Council (APC) looks forward to working with the Commonwealth Government and industry stakeholders on the Senate Inquiry into Definitions of Meat and Other Animal Products.
To ensure it is fair and evidence-based, the Inquiry must avoid mischaracterising this matter as "conventional proteins versus new proteins", as this suggests that new protein industries will grow at the expense of more conventional industries.
The success of both industries will be necessary to meet the clear challenge ahead: to feed a world of 10 billion people by 2050 with finite resources.
There is overwhelming evidence to show that the diversification of global protein supply is necessary and inevitable to meet rising protein demands, according to the world's top food systems, sustainability and economic development authorities.1 This opens up new opportunities for the thousands of Australian farmers and regional communities who stand to benefit from the growth of the plant-based protein sector.
Cropping accounts for more than half (53.2%) of the value of Australia's agricultural production2 – or $35B – which new protein industries will help grow.
Rising investment in plant proteins also generates opportunities for legume and grain growers, as well as those farmers with mixed livestock and cropping operations. These investments are already bringing jobs to regional Australia but our nation has yet to harness the full potential of these industries.3,4
Globally, demand for meat is projected to rise 73% by 2050,5 driven largely by the Asia Pacific region, the key destination for Australia's premium agri-food products. In markets like China and Thailand, demand for plant-based meat products is also projected to rise 200% by 2025.6
As a net exporter, Australia can capitalise on growth in both sectors as populations, prosperity and protein consumption in our region continue to rise.
Plant-based product labelling
The APC is yet to see any evidence which justifies the broad concerns regarding plant-based product labelling and looks forward to presenting the Inquiry with evidence to the contrary.
We agree with the Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation that the current regulations for labelling via the Food Standards Code and Australian Consumer Law are fit-for-purpose. Companies producing plant-based alternatives use terms like 'sausages' to describe their product's format and utility, along with clear qualifiers like 'plant-based' to clearly communicate its ingredients; it's a common-sense and evidence-based approach.
Plant-based product branding continues to meet labelling requirements, demonstrating that existing frameworks are serving consumers as intended. To restrict the use of commonly understood format terms on plant-based products would instead generate confusion amongst consumers.
The Inquiry suggests it also intends to review the health implications of consuming plant-based products, including additives. Prior evidence-based nutritional analysis of nearly 100 products in the category, when compared like-for-like with the conventional meat sausages, burgers and bacon to which they are an alternative, has demonstrated plant-based meat products are on average nutritionally comparable or superior. Many of the common food additives used in plant-based products are the exact same additives used to create conventional processed meat products.
New protein industries are essential to reach our $100B Ag2030 goal
The APC believes that there is an urgent need for a national discussion on how the Australian agri-food sector can collectively seize the opportunity presented by new protein sectors.
Australia, as a food exporting powerhouse, can and should leverage existing trade channels and the strength of our premium brand to increase the overall volume and value of our protein exports with new protein categories.
Plant-based meat products alone are projected to generate nearly $3B in domestic consumer sales by 2030 and 6000 full-time jobs, contributing to the government's industry-led goal of achieving a $100B food and fibre sector by 2030.
It's time to have an evidence-based conversation about the opportunity emerging protein sectors present to Australian farmers, and the important choice the category presents for consumers.
The APC will provide the Senate Inquiry with the suite of growing evidence for the value of new protein industries to Australia's agri-food sector and economy to inform the Committee's deliberations.
About The Alternative Proteins Council
The Alternative Proteins Council (APC), founded in March 2021, is the representative group for Australia's alternative proteins sector. The APC provides a collective voice for the sector, and a platform to discuss shared issues and opportunities. The council works to ensure the voice of the sector remains unified and impactful on key issues. The APC engages at a national level on policy issues, enabling the sector's shared vision and continuing to serve Australians who enjoy alternative protein products.

Open source team creates apocalypse survival kit
December 11, 2011 No Comment	P2P Foundation read
A team of open source enthusiasts is putting together instructions for how to build 50 tools essential to establishing – or reestablishing – a civilization.
The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is being developed by the Open Source Ecology (OSE) group, and includes such basic tools as a well drill, steam engine, and brick making machine, along with more complicated devices such as a bulldozer, 3D printer, and 50kW wind turbine. These can be built from scrap or recycled materials at a fraction of the cost of commercial machinery.
"The basic principle is open hardware – building the machines to cover your basic needs," OSE spokesman Nikolay Georgiev told The Register. "Basically, it's about creating a civilization similar to what we have now, but on a smaller scale and all using open hardware."
OSE bricking it
This isn't some kind of idea spawned out of the end-of-civilization-in-2012 angst that is gripping some impressionable minds these days. Rather, it's an attempt to make basic tools available in areas of the developing world that lack basic amenities, or for folks looking for a more sustainable lifestyle – or, for that matter, to simply to stash tool-building knowledge into the libraries of those who worry about what the future may hold.
The OSE was set up in 2003 by Princeton professor of fusion energy Marcin Jakubowski, who decided to go back to the land and start a farm in Missouri after an insight that he had no actual practical skills.
The Missouri move wasn't a success, with fragile farm equipment and little experience, so he designed and built tools himself that were reliable, cheap, and simple designs that could be made by hand. The plan was to build tools designed for long life and maximum efficiency, and that cost the minimum to build and run.
While they won't be winning any beauty contests, Jakubowski's designs were capable of letting him plant 100 trees or make 5,000 bricks in a day – he even built a working tractor in six days at less than half the cost of a commercial vehicle, even when factoring in $15-per-hour labor costs.
"It's about a newly relevant DIY maker culture that can hope to transcend artificial scarcity," he told a recent TED lecture.
Eight basic tools, such as the four-wheel-drive tractor, hydraulic power cube, and brick maker (aka the "Liberator" Compressed Earth Block Press), are finished and the documentation is being finalized, but the team is short around $5m in funding and need more engineers to finish more-complex tools. Some tools, such as the laser cutter and circuit board printer, do seem a little ambitious, but the OSE is concentrating first on getting the basic machinery sorted out.
The Liberator DIY brick-making machine
"You have to be able to farm land," Georgiev explained. "Then you start identifying your needs for a similar life to now and thinking how all technology could be developed. There's not just one machine that does all things."
A Kickstarter campaign begun last month has already reached its initial goal, but the campaign is still collecting funds to build a 5,000 square-foot production facility in Missouri, with ten living units for the development team. Documentation for the first eight machines should be online by the end of this year and the team is hoping to crowdsource specialist skills for different devices, with a goal of publishing DIY details for all 50 tools by the end of 2012.
Unfortunately, no machine complex enough to build an actual computer is on the 50-tool list, since the capabilities required are beyond a scheme that's designed to keep smaller units of people alive and in relative comfort.
"It should be possible to apply the principles to computer fabrication, but not for a group on the scale of a village. This is just the first level of the system," said Georgiev.
