I'm not gonna vet the claim that the clothing swap coming up on Sunday, April 27 is "the biggest" within a particular geographical area. It's big, you say? Good enough for me. I love a good closet purge; I'm a firm believer that clearing back the rubble to streamline and assess is just as important as adding to your wardrobe. So, all's you gotta do is round up want, need (or fit!)—clean with no holes or weird smells, please, and shoes and other accessories are also welcome. Your bag of discards and five bucks will get you in the door, where you can grab a cocktail while you judiciously peruse the options to trade in for.

Secret Society, 116 NE Russell, 11 am-3 pm, Sunday, April 27

msm1267 (2804139) writes "The Tor Project has published a list of 380 exit relays vulnerable to the Heartbleed OpenSSL vulnerability that it will reject. This comes on the heels of news that researcher Collin Mulliner of Northeastern University in Boston found more than 1,000 nodes vulnerable to Heartbleed where he was able to retrieve plaintext user traffic. Mulliner said he used a random list of 5,000 Tor nodes from the Dan.me.uk website for his research; of the 1,045 vulnerable nodes he discovered, he recovered plaintext traffic that included Tor plaintext announcements, but a significant number of nodes leaked user traffic in the clear."

Nona Neon Cosplay, I bow to your greatness. Especially considering you incorporated a vegetable strainer into your Pacific Rim cosplay.

Since 1974, some 8,000 life-sized terracotta warriors have been discovered guarding the tomb of the First Emperor of China. Beginning May 10th, more than 100 artifacts from the army will be displayed at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, the only stateside appearance of the warriors in 2014.

… Y’see, now, y’see, I’m looking at this, thinking, squares fit together better than circles, so, say, if you wanted a box of donuts, a full box, you could probably fit more square donuts in than circle donuts if the circumference of the circle touched the each of the corners of the square donut.

So you might end up with more donuts.

But then I also think… Does the square or round donut have a greater donut volume? Is the number of donuts better than the entire donut mass as a whole?

Hrm.

HRM.

A round donut with radius R₁ occupies the same space as a square donut with side 2R₁. If the center circle of a round donut has a radius R₂ and the hole of a square donut has a side 2R₂, then the area of a round donut is πR₁² - πr₂². The area of a square donut would be then 4R₁² - 4R₂². This doesn’t say much, but in general and  throwing numbers, a full box of square donuts has more donut per donut than a full box of round donuts.

The interesting thing is knowing exactly how much more donut per donut we have. Assuming first a small center hole (R₂ = R₁/4) and replacing in the proper expressions, we have a 27,6% more donut in the square one (Round: 15πR₁²/16 ≃ 2,94R₁², square: 15R₁²/4 = 3,75R₁²). Now, assuming a large center hole (R₂ = 3R₁/4) we have a 27,7% more donut in the square one (Round: 7πR₁²/16 ≃ 1,37R₁², square: 7R₁²/4 = 1,75R₁²). This tells us that, approximately, we’ll have a 27% bigger donut if it’s square than if it’s round.

tl;dr: Square donuts have a 27% more donut per donut in the same space as a round one.

Thank you donut side of Tumblr.

This is sparkle poi! Poi was created in New Zealand by the Maori people. It is the rhythmic spinning of weights on string. Modern versions include glow poi and sparkle poi. Glow poi uses LEDs or glowsticks to create colorful patterns, and sparkle poi uses lit steel wool. As the steel wool burns, parts fly off causing the effect seen above. I would guess a blue filter has been added, as it normally looks like this

Don’t believe there’s a racial element to the War on Drugs? As a former U.S. marshal and special agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency, Matthew Fog witnessed the astonishing inequity of the War on Drugs firsthand. This is his story.

So now I just painstakingly re-create my paper copies by hand, like a medieval monk.
