Ruby Classes
This week I have been working a lot with classes so I thought I would write a short post about them.
The first thing I usually consider when creating a new class first what are the built in attributes of the class. That is to say when I create a new object of class what does it do. The method initialize
lets you set up what happens when a class is made.
class Square
def initialize(side)
@side = side
if @side < 0
raise ArgumentError.new("Only positive numbers are allowed")
end
end
end
This class describes a square. When you create an object of this class you inculed the length of one side. The method initialize checks as the class is being created if the nember entered is positive. If it is not an error is raised because the square is not valid. It also defines the istance variable sides. Instance varibles are varibles availible to any method in the class.
Say we want to know the area of our square.
class Square
def initialize(side)
@side = side
if @side < 0
raise ArgumentError.new("Only positive numbers are allowed")
end
end
def area
(@side * @side)
end
end
We can find the area of our square using
square = Square.new(2)
p square.area
The method area
was able to access side
because we had labeled it an instance variable.


"Clubs don’t have faith in black goalkeepers"
by BeSoccerAjax goalkeeper Andre Onana made it clear in an interview with 'RMC Sport' that he thinks clubs "don't trust black goalkeepers". He argued that there are very few in Europe and that this is not just his perception, "you just have to look."
Racism is - unfortunately - jumping on the scene a lot lately. Balotelli was one of the last media victims in Brescia. He was seriously insulted and, finally, the fans of Hellas Verona were not punished after a change of heart in the Federation.
Ajax goalkeeper Onana has added to the conversation with his controversial comments: "Clubs do not have faith in black goalkeepers. That’s a reality. It is not me who is saying it. You just have to look," said the Eredivisie player.

"I am not a specialist on training sessions. They have their reasons. They must think that black goalkeepers lack concentration then…”" explained the former Barcelona goalkeeper. Without citing official reports or data from any official organization, he presented his thesis.
The player is on the agenda of several of the best clubs in the world. One of the most recent to join the list of pretenders is Real Madrid, although he has also been linked to PSG, who have a famously large budget.


StuView is an online practice interview application designed to assist students in preparing for real-world interviews.
The main goal of StuView is to be able to simulate not only HR question interviews, but also technical question interviews.
Instructors can create two types of interviews. One type is practice interviews, which can be taken as many times as a
student would like, and will not be uploaded and sent to an industry assessor for review, but will be available for
download to the student to review themselves. The second type is a reviewed interview, which will be uploaded and sent
to an industry assessor for review and feedback when the student has completed the interview, or the time has exipired,
whichever comes first. Industry assessors will submit feedback on the interview, then students will be able to view that
feedback to learn what they did well or what they can improve on.


Towers of Hanoi is a simple programming riddle often used in programming courses to introduce recursion. Not many people are aware that Towers of Hanoi has also a beautiful iterative solution.
Here I assume that you already know this problem if not please check Wikipedia Tower of Hanoi page.
The key to discover how iterative algorithm work is to actually observe how
disks are moved by recursive algorithm.
To make move patterns more visible we will put rots
on a circle, we will be moving discs from rot marked by FROM label to
rot marked by TO label using third rot only to temporary store discs.
We will use animation below to
observe how disks move. We will start by observing how the smallest disk (red)
is moving when total number of disk is even (so try it for 2, 4, 6 and 8 disks).
After you find the pattern how smallest disk moves try to find out how other
disk are moving - this should not be difficult.
Then repeat observation for odd number of disks (1,3,5 and 7).
TIP: Patterns may be more easily revealed when you use x3 or x5 animation speed
Scroll below when you have enough of pattern finding or if want to check if your patterns are correct.
For any number of disks we start by moving the smallest disk. For even total number of disks we move the smallest disk clockwise for odd total number of disks we move the smallest disk counterclockwise. After every move that involves the smallest disk we perform one valid move (we move smaller disk on top of bigger, or we move disk to empty rod) that doesn’t involve the smallest disk. We stop when all disks were moved to TO rod.
Formal proof that above algorithm works can be found in The Associativity of Equivalence and the Towers of Hanoi Problem.

The Awful German Language (by Mark Twain)
A little learning makes the whole world kin.
-- Proverbs xxxii, 7.
I went often to look at the collection of curiosities in Heidelberg Castle, and one day I surprised the keeper of it with my German. I spoke entirely in that language. He was greatly interested; and after I had talked a while he said my German was very rare, possibly a "unique"; and wanted to add it to his museum.
If he had known what it had cost me to acquire my art, he would also have known that it would break any collector to buy it. Harris and I had been hard at work on our German during several weeks at that time, and although we had made good progress, it had been accomplished under great difficulty and annoyance, for three of our teachers had died in the mean time. A person who has not studied German can form no idea of what a perplexing language it is.
Surely there is not another language that is so slipshod and systemless, and so slippery and elusive to the grasp. One is washed about in it, hither and thither, in the most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has captured a rule which offers firm ground to take a rest on amid the general rage and turmoil of the ten parts of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "Let the pupil make careful note of the following exceptions." He runs his eye down and finds that there are more exceptions to the rule than instances of it. So overboard he goes again, to hunt for another Ararat and find another quicksand. Such has been, and continues to be, my experience. Every time I think I have got one of these four confusing "cases" where I am master of it, a seemingly insignificant preposition intrudes itself into my sentence, clothed with an awful and unsuspected power, and crumbles the ground from under me. For instance, my book inquires after a certain bird -- (it is always inquiring after things which are of no sort of consequence to anybody): "Where is the bird?" Now the answer to this question -- according to the book -- is that the bird is waiting in the blacksmith shop on account of the rain. Of course no bird would do that, but then you must stick to the book. Very well, I begin to cipher out the German for that answer. I begin at the wrong end, necessarily, for that is the German idea. I say to myself, "Regen (rain) is masculine -- or maybe it is feminine -- or possibly neuter -- it is too much trouble to look now. Therefore, it is either der (the) Regen, or die (the) Regen, or das (the) Regen, according to which gender it may turn out to be when I look. In the interest of science, I will cipher it out on the hypothesis that it is masculine. Very well -- then the rain is der Regen, if it is simply in the quiescent state of being mentioned, without enlargement or discussion -- Nominative case; but if this rain is lying around, in a kind of a general way on the ground, it is then definitely located, it is doing something -- that is, resting (which is one of the German grammar's ideas of doing something), and this throws the rain into the Dative case, and makes it dem Regen. However, this rain is not resting, but is doing something actively, -- it is falling -- to interfere with the bird, likely -- and this indicates movement, which has the effect of sliding it into the Accusative case and changing dem Regen into den Regen." Having completed the grammatical horoscope of this matter, I answer up confidently and state in German that the bird is staying in the blacksmith shop "wegen (on account of) den Regen." Then the teacher lets me softly down with the remark that whenever the word "wegen" drops into a sentence, it always throws that subject into the Genitive case, regardless of consequences -- and that therefore this bird stayed in the blacksmith shop "wegen des Regens."
N. B. -- I was informed, later, by a higher authority, that there was an "exception" which permits one to say "wegen dem Regen" in certain peculiar and complex circumstances, but that this exception is not extended to anything but rain.
There are ten parts of speech, and they are all troublesome. An average sentence, in a German newspaper, is a sublime and impressive curiosity; it occupies a quarter of a column; it contains all the ten parts of speech -- not in regular order, but mixed; it is built mainly of compound words constructed by the writer on the spot, and not to be found in any dictionary -- six or seven words compacted into one, without joint or seam -- that is, without hyphens; it treats of fourteen or fifteen different subjects, each inclosed in a parenthesis of its own, with here and there extra parentheses which reinclose three or four of the minor parentheses, making pens within pens: finally, all the parentheses and reparentheses are massed together between a couple of king-parentheses, one of which is placed in the first line of the majestic sentence and the other in the middle of the last line of it -- after which comes the VERB, and you find out for the first time what the man has been talking about; and after the verb -- merely by way of ornament, as far as I can make out -- the writer shovels in "haben sind gewesen gehabt haben geworden sein," or words to that effect, and the monument is finished. I suppose that this closing hurrah is in the nature of the flourish to a man's signature -- not necessary, but pretty. German books are easy enough to read when you hold them before the looking-glass or stand on your head -- so as to reverse the construction -- but I think that to learn to read and understand a German newspaper is a thing which must always remain an impossibility to a foreigner.
Yet even the German books are not entirely free from attacks of the Parenthesis distemper -- though they are usually so mild as to cover only a few lines, and therefore when you at last get down to the verb it carries some meaning to your mind because you are able to remember a good deal of what has gone before. Now here is a sentence from a popular and excellent German novel -- with a slight parenthesis in it. I will make a perfectly literal translation, and throw in the parenthesis-marks and some hyphens for the assistance of the reader -- though in the original there are no parenthesis-marks or hyphens, and the reader is left to flounder through to the remote verb the best way he can:
"But when he, upon the street, the (in-satin-and-silk-covered-now-very-unconstrained-after-the-newest-fashioned-dressed) government counselor's wife met," etc., etc.
1. Wenn er aber auf der Strasse der in Sammt und Seide gehüllten jetzt sehr ungenirt nach der neusten Mode gekleideten Regierungsräthin begegnet.
That is from The Old Mamselle's Secret, by Mrs. Marlitt. And that sentence is constructed upon the most approved German model. You observe how far that verb is from the reader's base of operations; well, in a German newspaper they put their verb away over on the next page; and I have heard that sometimes after stringing along the exciting preliminaries and parentheses for a column or two, they get in a hurry and have to go to press without getting to the verb at all. Of course, then, the reader is left in a very exhausted and ignorant state.
We have the Parenthesis disease in our literature, too; and one may see cases of it every day in our books and newspapers: but with us it is the mark and sign of an unpracticed writer or a cloudy intellect, whereas with the Germans it is doubtless the mark and sign of a practiced pen and of the presence of that sort of luminous intellectual fog which stands for clearness among these people. For surely it is not clearness -- it necessarily can't be clearness. Even a jury would have penetration enough to discover that. A writer's ideas must be a good deal confused, a good deal out of line and sequence, when he starts out to say that a man met a counselor's wife in the street, and then right in the midst of this so simple undertaking halts these approaching people and makes them stand still until he jots down an inventory of the woman's dress. That is manifestly absurd.  Parentheses in literature and dentistry are in bad taste.
The Germans have another kind of parenthesis, which they make by splitting a verb in two and putting half of it at the beginning of an exciting chapter and the other half at the end of it. Can any one conceive of anything more confusing than that? These things are called "separable verbs." The German grammar is blistered all over with separable verbs; and the wider the two portions of one of them are spread apart, the better the author of the crime is pleased with his performance. A favorite one is reiste ab -- which means departed. Here is an example which I culled from a novel and reduced to English:
"The trunks being now ready, he DE- after kissing his mother and sisters, and once more pressing to his bosom his adored Gretchen, who, dressed in simple white muslin, with a single tuberose in the ample folds of her rich brown hair, had tottered feebly down the stairs, still pale from the terror and excitement of the past evening, but longing to lay her poor aching head yet once again upon the breast of him whom she loved more dearly than life itself, PARTED."
However, it is not well to dwell too much on the separable verbs. One is sure to lose his temper early; and if he sticks to the subject, and will not be warned, it will at last either soften his brain or petrify it. Personal pronouns and adjectives are a fruitful nuisance in this language, and should have been left out. For instance, the same sound, sie, means you, and it means she, and it means her, and it means it, and it means they, and it means them. Think of the ragged poverty of a language which has to make one word do the work of six -- and a poor little weak thing of only three letters at that. But mainly, think of the exasperation of never knowing which of these meanings the speaker is trying to convey. This explains why, whenever a person says sie to me, I generally try to kill him, if a stranger.
Now observe the Adjective. Here was a case where simplicity would have been an advantage; therefore, for no other reason, the inventor of this language complicated it all he could. When we wish to speak of our "good friend or friends," in our enlightened tongue, we stick to the one form and have no trouble or hard feeling about it; but with the German tongue it is different. When a German gets his hands on an adjective, he declines it, and keeps on declining it until the common sense is all declined out of it. It is as bad as Latin. He says, for instance:
- Singular
- Nominative -- Mein guter Freund, my good friend.
- Genitives -- Meines guten Freundes, of my good friend.
- Dative -- Meinem guten Freund, to my good friend.
- Accusative -- Meinen guten Freund, my good friend.
- Plural
- N. -- Meine guten Freunde, my good friends.
- G. -- Meiner guten Freunde, of my good friends.
- D. -- Meinen guten Freunden, to my good friends.
- A. -- Meine guten Freunde, my good friends.
Now let the candidate for the asylum try to memorize those variations, and see how soon he will be elected. One might better go without friends in Germany than take all this trouble about them. I have shown what a bother it is to decline a good (male) friend; well this is only a third of the work, for there is a variety of new distortions of the adjective to be learned when the object is feminine, and still another when the object is neuter. Now there are more adjectives in this language than there are black cats in Switzerland, and they must all be as elaborately declined as the examples above suggested. Difficult? -- troublesome? -- these words cannot describe it. I heard a Californian student in Heidelberg say, in one of his calmest moods, that he would rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.
The inventor of the language seems to have taken pleasure in complicating it in every way he could think of. For instance, if one is casually referring to a house, Haus, or a horse, Pferd, or a dog, Hund, he spells these words as I have indicated; but if he is referring to them in the Dative case, he sticks on a foolish and unnecessary e and spells them Hause, Pferde, Hunde. So, as an added e often signifies the plural, as the s does with us, the new student is likely to go on for a month making twins out of a Dative dog before he discovers his mistake; and on the other hand, many a new student who could ill afford loss, has bought and paid for two dogs and only got one of them, because he ignorantly bought that dog in the Dative singular when he really supposed he was talking plural -- which left the law on the seller's side, of course, by the strict rules of grammar, and therefore a suit for recovery could not lie.
In German, all the Nouns begin with a capital letter. Now that is a good idea; and a good idea, in this language, is necessarily conspicuous from its lonesomeness. I consider this capitalizing of nouns a good idea, because by reason of it you are almost always able to tell a noun the minute you see it. You fall into error occasionally, because you mistake the name of a person for the name of a thing, and waste a good deal of time trying to dig a meaning out of it. German names almost always do mean something, and this helps to deceive the student.  When I was girding up my loins to doubt this, I found out that Tannenwald in this instance was a man's name.
Every noun has a gender, and there is no sense or system in the distribution; so the gender of each must be learned separately and by heart. There is no other way. To do this one has to have a memory like a memorandum-book. In German, a young lady has no sex, while a turnip has. Think what overwrought reverence that shows for the turnip, and what callous disrespect for the girl. See how it looks in print -- I translate this from a conversation in one of the best of the German Sunday-school books:
- "Gretchen.
- Wilhelm, where is the turnip?
- Wilhelm.
- She has gone to the kitchen.
- Gretchen.
- Where is the accomplished and beautiful English maiden?
- Wilhelm.
- It has gone to the opera."
 The inventor of the language probably got what he knew about a conscience from hearsay.
Now, by the above dissection, the reader will see that in Germany a man may think he is a man, but when he comes to look into the matter closely, he is bound to have his doubts; he finds that in sober truth he is a most ridiculous mixture; and if he ends by trying to comfort himself with the thought that he can at least depend on a third of this mess as being manly and masculine, the humiliating second thought will quickly remind him that in this respect he is no better off than any woman or cow in the land.
In the German it is true that by some oversight of the inventor of the language, a Woman is a female; but a Wife (Weib) is not -- which is unfortunate. A Wife, here, has no sex; she is neuter; so, according to the grammar, a fish is he, his scales are she, but a fishwife is neither. To describe a wife as sexless may be called under-description; that is bad enough, but over-description is surely worse. A German speaks of an Englishman as the Engländer; to change the sex, he adds inn, and that stands for Englishwoman -- Engländerinn. That seems descriptive enough, but still it is not exact enough for a German; so he precedes the word with that article which indicates that the creature to follow is feminine, and writes it down thus: "die Engländerinn," -- which means "the she-Englishwoman." I consider that that person is over-described.
Well, after the student has learned the sex of a great number of nouns, he is still in a difficulty, because he finds it impossible to persuade his tongue to refer to things as "he" and "she," and "him" and "her," which it has been always accustomed to refer to it as "it." When he even frames a German sentence in his mind, with the hims and hers in the right places, and then works up his courage to the utterance-point, it is no use -- the moment he begins to speak his tongue flies the track and all those labored males and females come out as "its." And even when he is reading German to himself, he always calls those things "it," where as he ought to read in this way:

The new Android Things platform opens up a new way to build powerful Internet of Things systems using the ubiquitous Android platform. For those who already know Android development, this offers a very low barrier to entry. And for those building Bluetooth LE systems, the relatively robust BlueDroid bluetooth stack is a welcome change from the buggy, unstable and poorly-documented BlueZ bluetooth stack standard on non-Android Linux systems.
For all it’s power, Android Things has real drawbacks. It takes over a minute to boot, which is an eternity for an embedded system. It is designed for relatively high-powered devices with 512 Mb of RAM or more. And while tiny computers like the Edison board and the Raspberry Pi 3 support it, the ultra tiny and crazy cheap $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W is unfortunately off-limits for this platform. Its ARMv6 processor is not supported by Android at all.
But if you can live with these boot times and can work with the Raspberry Pi 3, this article will show you how to detect beacons with the Android Things platform.
Tutorial
This tutorial assumes you have basic Android development skills. If you haven’t developed an Android app before, you might want to go through a simple Android app tutorial first.
To get started detecting beacons with Android Things, you’ll need the following:
- Raspberry Pi 3 with Micro SD card (or other supported board)
- USB card reader for your workstation
- Ethernet cable(s)
- Access to a router on the same subnet as your workstation
- Android Studio 3 (You must have version 3+ to using the Android Things new project creation tool)
- A mobile phone with the Locate app for iOS or Android you can use to transmit a beacon signal
- Optional: A monitor with a HDMI cable (useful for troubleshooting boot problems)
Step 1: Download Android Things
First, locate the system image for your hardware board on the Android Developers site here.
Once it is downloaded, unzip it and prepare to flash the image to your board.
Step 2: Flash the system image
The instructions to flash the system image to the micro SD card depends on the workstation you are using. On my mac, I use the dd
command, but equivalent instructions exist for Windows and Linux here: https://developer.android.com/things/hardware/raspberrypi.html
Once the flash completes, simply remove the micro SD card from your workstation, put it in your board.
Step 3. Set up a console connection
Android Things is an embedded system, so you don’t control the device from a user interface. You control it through a console (sometimes using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tool or GUI tools talking over ADB like Android Studio or Android Monitor.) You can use a special serial cable to connect your Raspberry Pi to your workstation via a USB port, but if you have access to an open ethernet port on the same subnet as your workstation, this is by far the easiest way.
Simply use an ethernet cable to connect your Raspberry Pi to the network, and power it on. If all goes well, you will see lights flash on the Pi board. Wait about 90 seconds for it to boot up, then type the following on your workstation where you have the Android development tools installed:
adb connect Android.local
If it works, you’ll see a response like connected to Android.local:5555
. Running this command is the equivalent of connecting a USB cable to a development Android phone, when USB debugging is enabled. The ADB tool on your workstation now has a connection to your device.
Step 4. Set up WiFi (optional)
This is enough to Android Studio working with your board, but you might also want to set up a WiFi connection for your Raspberry Pi so it doesn’t have to stay connected to the ethernet cable. If you set it up with a WiFi network on the same subnet as your workstation, you’ll be able to perform the same command above without the Pi connected via an ethernet cable.
To do this, you first run the adb shell
command on your workstation to get a console into the Pi. Then you run the following command to set up the wifi for your network:
am startservice com.google.wifisetup/.WifiSetupService -a WifiSetupService.Connect -e ssid MY_SSID_NAME -e MY_PASSPRHRASE
You’ll of course need to replace MY_SSID_NAME and MY_PASSPHRASE with the credentials for your wifi network.
Step 5. Create a new Android Things app
Now that you have a connection to your Android Things board from your workstation, you are ready to use Android Studio to build your app. Making a new Android Things app is an awful lot like making a regular Android app. If you have Android Studio 3+, there is a tool for starting new Android Things projects by going to: File -> New -> New Project
Follow the screenshots like shown below.
Once the project template is created, take a look at the AndroidManifest.xml. You’ll see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.davidgyoungtech.androidthingsbeaconscanner"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.things"/>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
This looks like a regular Android App manifest with a special
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
This filter is what will launch our app automatically when the device boots up. Android Things apps are based on Activities just like regular Android apps. The big difference is that a user interface is optional (if a display is attached, you can show regular Android UI elements) and Activities can run at boot (and keep running forever) without user interaction.
Step 6. Code Beacon Detections
Edit the build.gradle (Module: app) file so it looks like this:
dependencies {
compile 'org.altbeacon:android-beacon-library:2.9.1'
...
Then go to MainActivity.java and add these four lines to the end to the onCreate method:
BeaconManager beaconManager = BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this);
beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().clear();
beaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser("iBeacon").setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24"));
beaconManager.bind(this);
These lines set the Android Beacon Library up to look for iBeacons.
You’ll get an error flagged on the last line, because we have not yet made our Activity implement the BeaconConsumer interface. Let’s fix that. Change the class definition to look like below. And while we’re at it, let’s add a TAG definition so we can log debug lines:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements BeaconConsumer, RangeNotifier {
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
The changes to the class definition above adds two interfaces to the Activity, one to connect to the Android Beacon Library and the other to get beacon ranging callbacks from it. You’ll see errors that not all the methods of the interfaces have been implemented. So you’ll need to add the following to the body of the class:
@Override
public void onBeaconServiceConnect() {
Log.d(TAG, "Beacon service connected. Starting ranging.");
try {
mBeaconManager.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(new Region("allbeacons", null, null, null));
mBeaconManager.addRangeNotifier(this);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region) {
for (Beacon beacon: beacons) {
Log.d(TAG, "Detected beacon: "+beacon);
}
}
This code waits for the library to be initialized, at which point onBaconServiceConnect
gets called. Inside that method, it starts beacon ranging, defining a “Region” of beacons to match that has all identifiers set to null – this effectively makes it match any beacon it sees. It also sets the RangeNotifier to be this same MainActivity class. That makes it so that the didRangeBeaconsInRegion
method below will get called once per second with a list of all beacons that are detected. And that method definition simply loops through all of the detected beacons and logs them.
We can now build and run this app though Android Studio. Choose Run -> Run App, and Android Studio will build your application APK package, upload it to the Android Things board, and start running it. If you don’t have a display, you won’t see anything. But you’ll see log lines in LogCat window in Android Studio. You should see something like this:
06-12 13:11:37.691 31695 31695 D MainActivity: Beacon service connected. Starting ranging.
Step 7. Obtain Permissions
We haven’t detected any beacons yet. And in case you have jumped the gun and turned on a beacon transmitter, you’ll notice it doesn’t work to detect beacons. Why?
If you’ve ever worked with Bluetooth on Android before, you might know that Android requires you to request and get permission from the user to access the device’s location in order to scan for Bluetooth beacons. It does this because beacons are often used to figure out the user’s location, so the need to declare this permission int the AndroidManifest.xml as of Android 7. Because Android Things preview release is based on Android 7, the same requirement applies. What’s more, because Android classifies location as a “dangerous” permission, it must be dynamically requested from the user at runtime. But Android Things is designed to run without a user interface. So how can this work?
Android Things solves this by automatically granting dangerous permissions at boot time to any applications that declare the need for them in its AndroidManifest.xml. The Android Beacon Library automatically includes these in its manifest, and they get merged to your application’s manifest by Android Studio during the build. You can see the merged manifest in Android Studio 3 by bringing up AndroidManifest.xml and tapping the “Merged Manifest” tab at the bottom of the screen.
As you can see, the following permission was brought in automatically by the AndroidBeaconLibrary:
<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
This is enough to get us going, but it won’t work until we reboot the Android Things device after installing the app. Trying to detect bluetooth devices (or access other location APIs) will fail silently until you do this. If you write code to check if the permission has been granted, it will return false until after a reboot. And if you write code to dynamically request the permission from the user
So long story short: just reboot your Android Things device after installing your app the first time!
Turn off your Android Things device, turn it back on, and wait about 90 seconds for it to boot.
Step 8. Test
After you have rebooted your device, you’ll need to reconnect adb again:
adb connect Android.local
Once you’ve done that, you should see your log line in the LogCat pane in Android Studio like this:
06-12 13:11:37.691 31695 31695 D MainActivity: Beacon service connected. Starting ranging.
This indicates that your app started up automatically at boot, something we configured in the AndroidManifest.xml.
Now it’s time to turn on a beacon and see if we detect it. Go to the Locate app on your iOS or Android phone, and turn on a beacon with any identifier. The screenshot below shows the iOS version. The Android version looks different but does the same thing.
As soon as you turn on the beacon transmitter, you should see log lines in Android Studio show up like below:
06-12 13:12:44.671 31695 31695 D MainActivity: Detected beacon: id1: 2F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6 id2: 1 id3: 2 type iBeacon
Congratulations! You’ve just detected a beacon with Andorid Things.


Vegan parents charged with manslaughter after malnourished toddler dies
The vegan parents of a boy who died in Florida from malnourishment have been arrested on charges of negligent manslaughter.
The 18-month-old boy died on Friday, September 27, 2019, in the early hours of the morning.
When police spoke with parents Ryan and Sheila O'Leary, the mother said her son hadn't eaten for a week and was only being breastfed.
On the day of the boy's death, after nursing, he began to experience shallow breathing. O'Leary told police she should have called someone but instead the couple fell asleep, the Florida Fort Myers News-Press reported.

The autopsy found the boy's death was caused by malnutrition, including dehydration and swollen hands and feet, local media reported.
"The boy had been struggling with illness for the past six months, making it difficult for him to eat," said US Attorney John Musca, who is representing Sheila O'Leary.
According to police reports the boy weighed 7.7kg when he died. The World Health Organization says an 18-month-old boy should weigh about 11kg.
The parents also have two other children, aged three and five, whom the police were told are home-schooled and only eat fruits and vegetables.
The Florida Fort Myers News-Press described the two children as extremely small, pale and yellowish in colour.
The parents have a bond set for US$250,000 and are being held in Lee County jail. An indictment is scheduled for Monday, December 9, 2019.

Zed Shaw has compiled a long list of suggestions on how you can get your manager to let you use Ruby on Rails for your next project. It’s full of goodies including this strategy of dealing with the ill-informed ‘does it scale’:
For example, they say, “It needs to handle 500 connections/second.” Don’t let them say “users”, “users” means nothing. Then you go test their current WizBangOMatic and find it only handles 10 conn/second. You can then come to them and say that Rails can’t do 500 conn/second, but it can do better than the WizBangOMatic which only has 10 conn/second performance. It’s evil, but it puts the performance harpies at rest.

Object Lifetime
The lifetime of game objects and components is tightly controlled by the world that they belong to.  You have full control over the destruction of objects, but by default 'deleted' objects are not destroyed before the end of the frame, to make writing robust code easy.
The lifetime of objects is directly linked to the object hierarchy. If a game object gets deleted, that also deletes all child nodes and all attached components.
Referencing Objects
In C++ you can of course always hold pointers to anything. Within a single frame, it is fine to reference game objects and components by pointers. However, once the next frame starts, you have to assume that those pointers are invalid. Not only can objects be deleted, but even live objects can be moved around in memory. This 'compacting' is an optimization and can happen to any object between frames.
Therefore, instead of keeping pointers to objects, you should always use handles. Specifically ezGameObjectHandle
for ezGameObject
references, and ezComponentHandle
for ezComponent
(and derived) types.
Handles act like weak pointers. Once you have a handle to an object, you can keep it around forever. When you need to access the actual object, you call ezWorld::TryGetObject()
or ezWorld::TryGetComponent()
. If the object is still alive at that time, you get back a pointer. That pointer is guaranteed to stay valid until the end of the frame, so you don't need to call the TryGet...
function again.
As a rule of thumb, you should never have ezGameObject*
or ezComponent*
types as class members. Pointers to these types should be limited to local function variables.
Deleting Game Objects
To delete a game object, call ezWorld::DeleteObjectDelayed()
. This will put the object into a deletion queue, and will remove the object at the end of the frame. This guarantees that all code that tries to access the object within this frame will work correctly.
You can also call ezWorld::DeleteObjectNow()
. This will indeed delete the object right at that instant. The only situation where it is ok to call this, is in tools where you modify a world in a single threaded way and you know that no other code can ever access objects. Here, having an object not destroyed immediately may be undesirable.
Deleting Components
To delete a component, get its component manager and call DeleteComponent()
on it. The component won't be deallocated right away, that is deferred till the end of the frame. However, it will be deactivated and deinitialized immediately. Therefore, if other code tries to access such a component, it will get valid memory, but it may see a deinitialized component. Such a situation can be detected by calling ezComponent::IsActiveAndInitialized()
on the target. If you delete individual components during a frame (and not entire objects), code that accesses those components should be prepared to deal with deinitialized components.

I passed a drug test a mere 36 hours after a long moderate binge, smoking cannabis at least once a day, if not more, that had lasted a couple of weeks.
Here's the backdrop. I had been job hunting for awhile, and while there was this one lucrative position that I knew required a drug test, everything else I applied for didn't require a test, so when I hadn't heard back from the good job for awhile I started smoking up, thinking it didn't matter. I get a call one day, and it's the company saying they want to hire me and I have to go in to take a drug test, and I would get a call to schedule it.
So, first thing's first. I IMMEDIATELY run out and buy cheap detox capsules, and I also buy some aspirin. I take four aspirin (standard 325mg aspirin) upon getting home, start chugging down water (probably accomplish 1.5 liters before I got the call), and wait for the call to schedule the test, running on the assumption I was going to have to take it that day.  However, I wasn't happy about having to wait out the 'blah' I felt after taking four aspirin. Nothing else of interest happens that night except I eat half of a large pizza.
Next morning I wake up at 4:00 AM and take four aspirin and start pounding down water, the aspirin and the pizza remaining in my stomach have an adverse reaction, and I throw up violently. I sit down, start slowly sipping the water this time, and this time take 3 aspirin instead of 4, just so I wouldn't over-do it had one of the aspirin managed to stay down. I drink about a liter of water, take a multivitamin, and I go back to bed and wake up at 7:30.
At 7:30, I wake up, take the detox capsules, and pound down another liter of water. I leave for the testing place at 8:20, and stop at a gas station and grab a 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade (591 mL for those of you on metric). At the gas station, I run back and pee right quick (I hadn't had a major piss that morning yet), and then proceed to the drug testing facility.
I arrive around 8:40, and naturally they are running late.  Finally I can't stand it anymore, and ask the lady at the front desk if I can use the restroom, whispering to her that I don't want them to wring the sample out of my pants. She let's me go, and tells me to start drinking water immediately after I get done. I start peeing, and oh my god it was a flood. MASSIVE amounts of urine come out at that point.
I go back in the reception area, and grab a can of Sprite from the soda machine, and the receptionist says 'I SAID WATER, NOT SODA.'
Anyhoo, I'm finally called back, and these people don't ask me to list any medicines I've taken or anything, the nurse just sends me into a bathroom, and tells me to pee in a cup, not to flush, and not to wash my hands, and also pours some blue shit in the toilet. I didn't worry about putting my 'mid stream' in the cup, considering that just 20 minutes before I had pissed out just about everything. I put the first bit of the stream in the cup, and then finish my duty, and missed the toilet when I quit peeing in the cup. I'm immediately told I'm free to go, they never asked me if I had taken any medicines or if I was on any perscriptions.
So it's all signed, sealed, and delivered, and 3 days later I get a call saying I passed my drug test and am to come into work the following Monday. So in summary, my experience shows that it's possible for a daily smoker to have their system clean 36 hours after smoking their last joint/bowl.

Nicole Kidman ‘shattered’ by father’s death but ‘had to be OK’ for children
The Australian actress also talked about taking on a theatre role as a tribute to her late father.
Nicole Kidman has said she realised she “had to be OK” for her children’s sake after her father’s death.
The 52-year-old actress lost her biochemist father, Dr Antony Kidman, in September 2014.
She told the January edition of Tatler magazine: “My three-year-old said ‘But you’re not going to be sad like this tomorrow, are you?’
“That’s when you realise, y’know, you have to be OK. Because they need to know that they’re safe, that their mother isn’t going to fall apart.
“Inside? I was beyond shattered. But I had to rally.”
Following Dr Kidman’s death, the Australian star said she “jumped in to life”.
“Let’s go on a plane. Let’s try things. Let’s go for it. Because who knows, right?” she said.
“I was never going to do theatre again. I didn’t think my heart could handle the adrenaline and the fear.”
The Oscar-winner took on a West End role in 2015 in Photograph 51, playing chemist Rosalind Franklin. She said at the time that it was a tribute to her late father.
“I had his photo in my dressing room. I would look at it every night before I went on … It was intense. But I’m glad I did it. It was one of the greatest times in my life,” she told Tatler.
The full interview is in Tatler’s January edition, available via digital download and newsstands from December 5.

Coffee makes world go round. The earliest evidence of human caffeine dependency dates back to the Sufi monasteries of Yemen in the 15th century. Yemeni traders brought Ethiopian coffee back to their homeland and began to cultivate the bean. Sufis in Yemen used the beverage to aid concentration when chanting the name of their God and to keep alert during their nighttime devotions.
Since then, the coffee offering has diversified greatly. My favorite addition to the coffee family is cold brew, which I drink with a religious intensity (not unlike the Sufis).
For those who share my enthusiasm for this particular beverage, you may find this guide on San Diego's best cold brew to be a helpful resource. Some elements of this website I admire are:


[Erowid Warning: Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. We have chosen to include these reports to help document the real world use of inhalants, but their inclusion is not intended to imply that they are anything but dangerous.]
I am writing this experience report to warn people of the dangers of inhalants... especially butane gas and similar inhalants like aerosol paint.
When I was 18 I was sitting around with a group of my brothers friends - they are aproximately 3 to 4 years older than me - and one of them noticed a can of butane sitting on the bench. He mentioned that he used to 'huff' it back in his younger years, and then proceeded to take a big breath of it from the can.
He then handed me the can and asked me if I wanted to try some. Of course at the time I was going through my 'experiment with anything and everything' phase, so naturally, I did. I put the can towards my mouth and stuck the needle-like nozzle to my teeth, I then bit down on it and push the nozzle back into the can in order to release the gas into my lungs. I took a full breath with no oxygen to go with it, and within a few seconds I was feeling very light headed, and cheerful. It reminded me of the laughing stage of acid, because everything was hilarious, even when there was nothing to laugh at.
My face felt really hot, yet my feet felt cold, like I was standing in a puddle of water, and I could see a haze of colours, as if it were a filter between my eyes and reality. Plus I could hear this constant throbbing sound in my head. Of course being at the stage of life that I was at, I loved it, even though my first hit only really got me for about 20-30 seconds and the effects were fully worn off within a minute. I pretty much ignored this guys warning - 'Be careful with that shit,' he said, 'I know you, and I know you'll go psycho on that shit'.... Of course I thought he meant that I would simply go to far and be high on it all the time, I never actually thought that I would go psycho on this substance.
I stayed away from it for a couple of days, but after a long day I said 'fuck it' and I started to hit the can. I did the usual tests that I do with drugs, seeing how it affected certain things I did, whether they became more pleasurable or not (cigarettes for instance). I didn't really notice a difference, but because I enjoyed the momentary effect, I continued to huff.
I was living with my older brother at the time who kept a very close eye on me, so I had to be careful with this. Cannibis was okay, as was the occasional X. But knowing that my brother had also been a previous huffer of this gas, made me weary not to let him catch me out. so every moment that I was alone in the house or the only one awake, I would be high on butane. I never really pushed it too far, because I was fairly new to this, and having tried other inhalants before, I knew that this one was hard-core. No other inhalant compared to this, not even nitrous.
So here I was a few weeks later at a mates house (which incidently happened to be one of the last houses my brother and I had lived in) and I was staying the night. The funny thing being that the guest room just so happened to be my old bedroom. So here I was in the middle in the night, in a familiar surrounding, only with unfamiliar items around me, with a can of butane in my bag. I don't know what made me do it, but I felt so compelled to push this thing to the limit that I didn't even think of the danger I was putting myself in.
I proceeded to take one full breath after another of the gas until my mind could not take anymore. I didn't even realise that I was holding the can anymore or what I had just done. a pattern of circles, within circles, within another two circles that rotated around each other, glowing red and green. I was completely lost in a trance. A voice in my head told me that I had to choose between one of the two circles in order to escape the mindset I was in. I was laying down on my back at the time, and whichever way I rolled onto my side, was the circle I had chosen. I rolled over without even realising it, because by this stage I thought I was in a house I used to live in two years previous, surrounded by the friends that I used to live with.
So once I rolled over, I had chosen my path within 'The Pattern' (as it's commonly reffered to by butane huffers). it continued to circle around itself, although once i had 'chosen' it 'zoomed into' one of the circles.... only to produce two more spinning circles within it! This is when the throbbing sound intensified, it became louder and doubled in speed (keeping in mind that the 'physical' and mental effects are with you everytime you huff). This is where I freaked out. I could hear voices laughing in my head saying 'You're trapped now, there's now way out!' without thinking I leaped up off the bed and made an almighty racket on the wooden floors running towards the bedroom door, saying 'Fuck! I need help! I need to go to the hospital!'
This is where the daze began to wear off and I slowly came to.  Then I realised that we no longer lived in this house and that it was now my mates house... Now I really hoped that I hadn't woken anyone! All of the effects wore off, except for the 'filtered' haze of red and green. The pattern was gone, the voices were gone, and the throbbing had gone away enough for me to not notice it.
From then on, I continued to huff, but only one or two breathes at a time.  But I started to notice alot of bad effects within myself since that night. My speach was impaired and I found it hard to string a sentence together, because the pathways in my brain were so damaged from huffing gas for so many months, that I couldn't even put basic words together. Not to mention that green and red haze never went away... What I didn't notice - but my family and friends did - was that I was getting stranger and stranger as the days passed. My nervous system was shot from huffing, and I couldn't move my limbs and extremeties the way I wanted to, and I developed quite a nasty twitch in my neck... Because I was still huffing regularly I didn't notice, nor did I care.
I moved back into my mothers house for a while with many mental health issues, plus the fact I couldn't look after myself because my nerves. So I layed off the gas for a little bit and started to heavily smoke grass. I found that this calmed my nerves, stopped the constant chatter in my head, and allowed me to speak clearly again. But it was only a matter of time before I got fed up with my mother's dictatorship over me, and said 'fuck it'. I Went and bought another can of butane just to spite her. so the next thing I know, I'm huffing like crazy, pushing myself to the limit ALL DAY or until my can ran out.
So I found myself wound up in a mental health ward at my local hospital, popping all sorts of anti-psychotics and mood stabilizers just to keep functioning. since my 'incarceration' I have woken up to myself, from hearing other people's accounts of what I used to be like and seeing other aerosol huffers come into the unit. I'm not fully back to normal, I still have to take my medication 2-3 years on, and probably will have to for a very long time. But one thing that I have noticed is that every now and then I get 'butane flashbacks'- Not so much the physical effects, or the noise, but the psychotic mindframe that I once lived in comes back and grabs me every now and then. and the worse thing is, because of what I did to myself on butane, I can no longer enjoy other substances such as LSD or Cannibis, and I have to be very weary of alcohol because of my moods.
My advice to anyone is STAY AWAY FROM VOLATILE SUBSTANCES SUCH AS AEROSOLS AND OTHER INHALANTS it's seriously not worth it, and because of the extreme, yet short lasting effects, it's very easy to get trapped inside. This may only be one man's reflection of a time he regrets, but for every one that tells it, there are thousands of zombies out there, I know and see many of them around. Please be careful.
God Bless

For Cartesian topologies, the function MPI_DIMS_CREATE helps the user select a balanced distribution of processes per coordinate direction, depending on the number of processes in the group to be balanced and optional constraints that can be specified by the user. One use is to partition all the processes (the size of MPI_COMM_WORLD's group) into an n-dimensional topology.
| MPI_DIMS_CREATE(nnodes, ndims, dims) | |
| IN nnodes | number of nodes in a grid (integer) |
| IN ndims | number of Cartesian dimensions (integer) |
| INOUT dims | integer array of size ndims specifying the number of nodes in each dimension |
int MPI_Dims_create(int nnodes, int ndims, int *dims)
MPI_DIMS_CREATE(NNODES, NDIMS, DIMS, IERROR)
INTEGER NNODES, NDIMS, DIMS(*), IERROR
void MPI::Compute_dims(int nnodes, int ndims, int dims[])
The entries in the array dims are set to describe a Cartesian grid
with ndims dimensions and a total of nnodes nodes. The
dimensions are set to be as close to each other as possible, using an
appropriate divisibility algorithm. The caller may
further constrain the operation of this routine by specifying elements
of array dims. If dims[i] is set to a positive number, the
routine will not modify the number of nodes in dimension i;
only those entries where dims[i] = 0 are modified by the call.
Negative input values of dims[i] are erroneous. An error will occur if nnodes is not a multiple of .
For dims[i] set by the call, dims[i] will be ordered in non-increasing order. Array dims is suitable for use as input to routine MPI_CART_CREATE. MPI_DIMS_CREATE is local.
Example
| dims | function call | dims |
| before call | on return | |
| (0,0) | MPI_DIMS_CREATE(6, 2, dims) | (3,2) |
| (0,0) | MPI_DIMS_CREATE(7, 2, dims) | (7,1) |
| (0,3,0) | MPI_DIMS_CREATE(6, 3, dims) | (2,3,1) |
| (0,3,0) | MPI_DIMS_CREATE(7, 3, dims) | erroneous call |


Arsenal target Denis Zakaria's agent makes statement on potential transfer
Denis Zakaria will not be leaving Borussia Monchengladbach in January, despite interest from a number of clubs across Europe, according to his agent.
The Swiss midfielder has caught the eye during Gladbach’s surprise run to the top of the Bundesliga, scoring two goals in 11 league appearances.
The 22-year-old has been linked with Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and Inter Milan thanks to his impressive performances, but it appears that all his suitors will at least have to wait until next summer to make a move.
Zakaria’s agent, Mathieu Beda, has confirmed that his client will definitely not be leaving Gladbach during the next transfer window.
‘Denis will not leave Borussia in the winter, a change is 100 per cent excluded,’ Beda told Sport BILD .
‘Denis is in very good shape in Gladbach and has been playing really well for weeks, but he still has more potential and he wants to show that in Gladbach now instead of dealing with a change.’
Advertisement Advertisement
Zakaria plays in midfield for Switzerland alongside Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka, but with uncertainty still surrounding his future at the Emirates, there has been suggestion that a swap deal could be done for the two Swiss stars.
Xhaka has not played for Arsenal since being stripped of the captaincy for his spat with fans while being substituted against Crystal Palace in October and could be offloaded either in January or next summer.
The former Gunners captain moved to north London from Gladbach in 2016 and could be tempted by a return to his former club.
Whether they play together at Arsenal, back at Gladbach or just with their national team, Xhaka has been thoroughly impressed with Zakaria.
‘His development is outstanding’ said Xhaka. ‘Having Denis in the national team next to me makes me feel better. But he has to stay tuned – now comes a very crucial phase for him.’


| EntityHandle - Handle returned by an Entity creating function such as CreateCube(), CreateLight(), LoadMesh() etc. |

FreeEntity will free up the internal resources associated with a particular entity and remove it from the scene.
This command will also free all children entities parented to the entity. Note that the variable holding the handle (and any variables referencing children handles) are not reset as it is up to the Blitz programmer to zero or ignore their contents following a call to FreeEntity(). |

If there's two big trees invariably sooner or later there's gonna be a little tree. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen. You can create anything that makes you happy. Of course he's a happy little stone, cause we don't have any other kind. Isn't it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? See. We take the corner of the brush and let it play back-and-forth. The shadows are just like the highlights, but we're going in the opposite direction. If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is. It looks so good, I might as well not stop.  Paint anything you want on the canvas. Create your own world. Trees live in your fan brush, but you have to scare them out. Here's something that's fun. You have to make these big decisions. Just use the old one inch brush.
Imagination is the key to painting. A beautiful little sunset. That's why I paint - because I can create the kind of world I want - and I can make this world as happy as I want it. That's the way I look when I get home late; black and blue.


Hello World!
I am currently a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Iowa. I am also a graduate teaching assistant in the same department. I got my B.S. degree in Computer Engineering at Middle East Technical University, Turkey.
I am currently TAing for CS3330: Algorithms course, and was previously one of the TAs for CS1210: Computer Science I: Fundamentals during 2019 Fall semester.
Besides doing research, I love coming up with new little project ideas that can help us to automate any work we are doing during daily life. I love exploring new technologies and experimenting on them. Just e-mail me, share your idea about any subject, and we can start thinking about how to make it real. Check out my GitHub profile for my previous publicly available projects.
My research interests can be grouped under:
I also love making music, cooking and photography (especially black and white photography for now).

Chapter 19 Solutions
19.1 a) Produce when \(P=MC\) for max profit. \[20=.4q\]\[q^{*}=50\] b) Socially optimal when \(P=MSC\) \[20=.5q\] \[q^{*}=40\]at optimum \(q^{*}=40\), what is the difference between \(SMC\) and \(MC\)? \[SMC(40)-MC(40)=t\]\(t\)=tax to bring about optimal production\[{.5}\cdot{40}-{.4}\cdot{40}=4=t\] Verifying… \(\pi=pq-C(q)-tq\)\[\frac{d\pi}{dq}=p-C^{\prime}(q)-t=0\]\[p=C^{\prime}(q)+t\]\[20=.4q+4\]\[q^{*}=40\]
- Graphs:
You know you want to reduce the net payment of lake x so that in net the 5th fisherman earns the same after paying the fee that he could at lake y. \[\frac{F^{*}}{l_{x}}-t=5\]\[10-{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot{5}-t=5\]\[5-2.5=t\]\[2.5=t\]\(t\)=license fee that optimizes the alllocation of fisherman at both sides.
- Graphs:
This graph is different from the example in class because the \(SMC\) is not a constant per unit produced. It is a proportion of the quantity produced. We can still get the optimum by setting \(t=SMC-MC\) at the optimal \(q^{*}\). This is the only point at which \(SMC=MC+t\) but that is fine.
19.2 \[Total\]\[F^{x}=10l_x-\frac{1}{2}l_x^2\]\[F^{y}=5l_y\] \[Average\]\[\frac{F^{x}}{l_x}=10-\frac{1}{2}l_x\]\[\frac{F^{y}}{l_y}=5\] Each fisherman gets usage of the lake on which the fish (is a word missing?). If any other configuration than \(l_x=l_y=10\) there is incentive for the fisherman to switch lakes.
- Chief could max to total fish.
\(max\) \(F^{x}+F^{y}\) so that \(l_x+l_y=20\)
\(\mathop{max}_{l_x,l_y}\) \(10l_x-\frac{1}{2}l_x^2+5l_y\) so that \(l_y=20-l_x\)
\(\mathop{max}_{l_x}\) \(10l_x-\frac{1}{2}l_x^2+5(20-l_x)\)
\(FOC:\) \(10-l_x-5=0\) \[l_x^{*}=5\]\[l_y^{*}=15\]
19.3) A Firm maximizes its own profit: \[\mathop{\Pi}_{f,n}=10q-1,000\]
\[\mathop{\Pi}_{f,n}=10(500-n)-1,000\]
\[\mathop{\Pi}_{f,n}=5,000-10n-1,000\]
\[\mathop{\Pi}_{f,n}=4,000-10n\]
Firms will enter until all profits are exhausted from this oil field. \[4,000-10n{>}_{=}0\]\[4,000>_=10n\]\[400>=n\] 400 firms will drill each production \(q=500-400=100\) and total output will be \(Q=400\cdot100=40,000\)
Yes, there is a divergence in private and social marginal cost. The firms don’t take into account that their drilling reduces the productivity of other wells.
- \(\Pi_{agg}=10Q-1,000Q\) \(\Pi_{agg}=10(500n-n^2)-1,000n\) \(\Pi_{agg}=5,000n-10n^2-1,000n\) \(\Pi_{agg}=4,000n-10n^2\)
\[\frac{d\Pi_{agg}}{dn}=4,000-20n=0\]\[n=200\] \[q=500-200=300\]\[Q=200\cdot300=60,000\]
- Set fee so that firms enter until the optimal n.
Firm\(\Pi\): \(10q-1,000-t\),\((\)t\(=fee)\) Firm\(\Pi\): \(10(500-n)-1,000-t=0\) (no entry condition) Firm\(\Pi\): \(10(500-200)-1,000-t=0\) (200=optimal n of firms) Firm\(\Pi\): \(3,000-1,000-t=0\) \({\)}2,000=t$ fee per well
