@KristinMBranson @Labrigger Haha yeah all the chemists do this continuously on their hoods etc.

In case anyone is
curious. A coin toss naturally
has one bit, because two
equally likely outcomes.
A specific random card draw
would be log2(52) ≈ 5.7 bits
To get 52 bits, it would need
to be a specific random card
from a deck of size
2^52 ≈ 4.5 x10^15.
A pretty huge deck.

Two totally wrong statements in one
sentence... While talking about Shannon information
content. "A coin toss could be
said to contain two bits of
information, whereas a random
card selection has 52 bits." -- The Twittering Machine

@ArthropodLegs @mbeisen @IQMystic I liked this series but definitely falls into fantasy for me.

@EWRairport why is the parking rate higher for economy prebook than drive up? (https://t.co/qP92vBmWHz)
Also, at 14.5 per 12 hours, economy seems to be the same rate as garage P4 prebook (29/24 hours)...?

@alvyray I'm listening to your book from @audible_com, and I've been very much missing the figures. Any chance of releasing an accompanying PDF of the figures as many books do?

@oliwiagoldman First Steps in Seeing by Robert W. Rodieck is pretty awesome also (in addition to the Animal Eyes book that Moli suggested)

[jazz weisman @jazzlw]

@mozliu @oliwiagoldman I was going to recommend this one also!

@aboharbf @oliwiagoldman Wait what?!

@GioRussonello there’s an error in your article from March 22. Cocaine is schedule 2, not schedule 1, due to its accepted medical use. (So cannabis is rated by the federal government as more dangerous and less medically useful than cocaine) https://t.co/v5123ZexWV

My new favorite internet visualization app! Programattically define a vector field and watch as particles move within it.
