Specifically he asked for brain dumps on: - how does antispam currently work at large email providers - how would widespread E2E crypto affect this - what are the options for moving things to the client (and pros, cons) - is this feas...

Digital Circuit Simulator https://makingartstudios.itch.io/dls A downloadable game for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Name your own price Welcome to DLS, the digital logic simulator game. TL;DR: Jump directly to the download section. Intro Currently the game works only in sandbox mode. Select between several build-in components to create complex circuits. Build-in components include: Various types of I/O ports (numeric, LEDs, pixel displays, 7-segment displays, push buttons, etc.) Basic gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, etc.) with configurable amount of inputs and bit sizes (up to 16 bits) ROMs with variable sizes (from 2 x 1-bit to 64k x 64-bit) You can also create custom scripted components using Lua to easily emulate complex circuits. To get an idea about what's possible to build with DLS, see our github repository of schematics DISCLAIMER : This is an alpha version of the game. Also, this is a toy logic simulator. You might find out that certain circuits...

This Popular Math Class Is At The Heart Of The STEM Gender Gap, Study Sug gests http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/calculus-stem-gender-gap_us_57a1b9eee4b0e2e15eb7df83 The gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is widely reported. Only one-quarter of college graduates entering careers in STEM in the U.S. are women. The numbers are even more dismal in fields like physics and engineering. Only about 1 in 10 physicists and astronomers are women. About 8 percent of mechanical engineers are female. But here’s the rub: Girls are just as interested and are definitely not less skilled in STEM subjects than boys. In fourth grade, both genders report similar rates of interest in science. From K-12, female and male students generally perform equally well on standardized math and science tests. High school boys and girls also enroll in advanced science courses at comparable rates. Ellis et al So, what exactly happens to all these STEM-lo...

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/opinion/health-secrets-of-the-amish.html In recent decades, the prevalence of asthma and allergies has increased between two- and threefold in the United States. These days, one in 12 kids has asthma. More are allergic. The uptick is often said to have started in the late 20th century. But the first hint of a population-wide affliction — the sneezing masses — came earlier, in the late 19th century, among the American and British upper classes. Hay fever so closely hewed to class lines, in fact, it was seen as a mark of civilization and refinement. Observers noted that farmers — the people who most often came in contact with pollens and animal dander — were the ones least likely to sneeze and wheeze. This phenomenon was rediscovered in the 1990s in Switzerland. Children who grew up on small farms were between one-half and one-third less likely to have hay fever and asthma, compared with non-farming children living in the same rural ar...
