The hi-tech car key you can take surfing: BMW digital card now available on its cheapest model
The waterproof BMW Digital Key is now an option on the German car maker’s most affordable model, but it comes at a cost.
by Joshua Dowling- shares
Hiding your car key under a beach towel or in your shoes could soon be a thing of the past.
Most modern car keys can’t be taken into the water and contain tiny hi-tech immobilisers and cost in excess of $200 to replace.
Surfers, beach-goers and bushwalkers have faced this dilemma for more than a decade as more vehicles adopted sensor keys, but an increasing number of car companies are coming up with innovative options.
Jaguar and Land Rover released a key embedded into a thick rubber wrist strap (pictured below) three years ago as an option on selected models, now BMW is making its waterproof slimline smartcard key available on its most affordable car.
The BMW Digital Key is as slim as a credit card but can be used to replace a conventional key.
It is standard equipment on the new BMW M135 hot hatch ($63,990 plus on-road costs) and an option on the new BMW 118i ($42,990).
The only catch is the cost: it’s an extra $731 on the BMW 118i as part of the optional Comfort Access package, which also includes a foot motion sensor for the power tailgate.
The BMW Digital Key was introduced on the BMW X5 and X7 SUVs in December 2018 and has since been rolled out on the 8 Series coupe and 3 Series sedan.
But the BMW 1 Series is the cheapest car in Australia to offer such technology.
The BMW Digital Key can also be used via near-field technology on certain Android smartphones, but is not yet available on Apple devices with near-field technology.
BMW says the Digital Key smart card is waterproof as is and does not need to be placed in a sleeve, but it is important that it does not bend or snap.

I like websites that come to life and keep the user engaged.
PHP is the king and my favorite language so far. I love being able to code server side using database records.
I have my eye on becoming well versed in Javascript. Javascript is a critical component to web design and the foundation for all the other frameworks.


Item 2. Make one or more graphs in CODAP to help you make sense of the table. Remember that you have to drag an attribute to the x-axis and that you may also drag an attribute to the y-axis to make a meaningful graph.

Chain Reaction
In Chain Reaction, players take turns placing cells on a grid. A player can place a cell on an empty field. They can also place it on a field that already contains their own cells, increasing that cell's mass. Once a cell has reached critical mass (at least as much as the number of neighboring fields around it), it splits into the neighboring fields, converting the opponents' cells into own cells if any happened to be there. The game is finished once only a single player's cells remain on the board, at which point that player is declared the winner.
If you've never played the game before though, it might be easier to understand the rules by giving it a try. Feel free to make a move on the board below! Your cells will be red circles, while your opponent's cells will be blue stars. The opponent is a computer that simply makes a move on a random available spot on the board.
The game is easy to follow on a small board. However, it gets hectic fast when playing on a larger one. It often happens that players on the verge of defeat, having only a couple of fields with their own cells, end up winning the game by getting a lucky chain reaction that ends up consuming everyone else on the board.
The volatile nature of the game lead to the question: "Is there an optimal strategy for winning?" This web app serves as a playground to compare strategies.
Now that you understand the rules of the game, you can open the game simulator and have different strategies battle each other on the board.


Kafka Detective has two methods of configuration for most application settings. You can either use an application.conf file, which will work best if you’re running Detective directly on the host, or you can configure using environment variables, which will work best for Docker deployment.
Unfortunately, for metrics configuration options you currently must use environment variables.
General application configuration covers the basic configuration of what content Detective is monitoring and how it is monitoring it.
When deploying as a Docker container, we recommend using the environment to configure the application. The following environment variables are available for you to use to configure Detective:
MAX_WORKER_COUNT
- The maximum number of workers to use. When detective boots up each partition
on your upstream topics will be assigned to workers. The correct value here is determined by the
volume on your topics. For high volume topics, this should be equal to the number of partitions
you’re monitoring.
COMPARISON_THREADS_PER_WORKER
- The number of different comparison threads to use while testing
messages.
MONITOR_ID
- Some unique identifier for the monitor.
REFERENCE_SERVER
- The Kafka broker address (or a comma separated list of broker addresses) that
the reference data will come from.
REFERENCE_TOPIC
- The topic that the reference data will come from.
REFERENCE_PARTITION
- A comma separated list of partitions to monitor from the topic.
REFERENCE_DESERIALIZER
- The deserializer to use when parsing reference messages.
TEST_SERVER
- The Kafka broker address (or a comma separated list of broker addresses) that
the test data will come from.
TEST_TOPIC
- The topic that the test data will come from.
TEST_PARTITION
- A comma separated list of partitions to monitor from the test topic.
TEST_DESERIALIZER
- The deserializer to use when parsing reference messages.
REFERENCE_WINDOW_SIZE
- The number of reference messages to buffer for comparison.
MATCH_FINDER
- The class that will serve to find candidate matches.
MATCH_TESTER
- The class that will test match candidates for matching.
REPORTERS
- The comma separated list of reporter to use.
If you’re using one of the Kafka topic reporters, you’ll also want to configure these environment variables:
KAFKA_REPORTER_TOPIC
- The topic to report on
KAFKA_REPORTER_SERVER
- The broker address (or comma separated list of broker addresses) that
failures will be reported to.
When deploying Detective as a JAR, you’ll need to write an application.conf
file and put it on
your server. Detective uses Typesafe Config for its configuration. You can find more
information on the different kinds of things that could appear in a config file in their
documentation.
Below is an example configuration file including information about what each value means:
kafka-detective {
# The maximum number of workers to allocate per
# monitor
max-worker-count-per-monitor = 10
# The number of threads to use for comparing
# messages in a worker
comparison-threads-per-worker = 10
# An array of monitors. You can add multiple
# monitors to a single instance of Detective
monitors = [
{
# An identifier for this monitor.
# All monitor identifiers must be
# unique.
identifier = "awesome-topic"
# Information about the reference
# topic.
reference-subject = {
# Hostname and port of the broker
# to connect to
server = "localhost:9092"
# Topic to monitor
topic = "awesome-ref-topic"
# Partitions in the topic to monitor
partitions = "1,2,3"
# Class that can deserialize the
# messages
deserializer = "me.frmr.kafka.detective.deserializer.ByteArrayDeserializer"
}
# Same configuration as above for
# the test topic
test-subject = {
server = "localhost:9092"
topic = "awesome-test-topic"
partitions = "1,2,3"
deserializer = "me.frmr.kafka.detective.deserializer.ByteArrayDeserializer"
}
# The number of messages from the reference
# topic to buffer for comparison
reference-window-size = 10000
# Class that can will find potential matches
# within the reference window.
match-finder = "me.frmr.kafka.detective.matchfinder.KeyEqualsFinder"
# Class that will determine if a match is
# successful.
match-tester = "me.frmr.kafka.detective.matchtester.ValueEqualsTester"
# Class that will report failures.
reporters = "me.frmr.kafka.detective.reporter.KafkaTopicReporter"
# Special configuration for reporters
# that require them.
reporter-configs {
kafka {
topic = "awesome-topic-fails"
producer {
"bootstrap.servers" = "localhost:9092"
"acks" = "all"
}
}
}
}
]
}
Detective uses Dropwizard Metrics under the hood to report on a number of interesting metrics about its operation. Additionally, there’s a metrics reporter that you can use to report metrics on how your performing overall.
By default, these metrics will all be fed to JMX. However, you can configure the metrics subsystem to report to a Graphite Carbon host by providing the following environment variables:
https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon
GRAPHITE_ENABLED=1
GRAPHITE_HOST=my.carbon.host
GRAPHITE_PORT=1234
GRAPHITE_POLL_SECONDS=

“Puttasokenahaṁ aṭṭā,
khittacittā visaññinī;
Naggā pakiṇṇakesī ca,
tena tena vicārihaṁ.
Struck down with grief for my son,
deranged, out of my mind,
naked, my hair flying,
I wandered here and there.
Vīthi saṅkārakūṭesu,
susāne rathiyāsu ca;
Acariṁ tīṇi vassāni,
khuppipāsāsamappitā.
I lived on rubbish heaps,
in cemeteries and highways.
For three years I wandered,
stricken by hunger and thirst.
Athaddasāsiṁ sugataṁ,
nagaraṁ mithilaṁ pati;
Adantānaṁ dametāraṁ,
sambuddhamakutobhayaṁ.
Then I saw the Holy One,
who had gone to the city of Mithilā.
Tamer of the untamed,
the Awakened One fears nothing from any quarter.
Sacittaṁ paṭiladdhāna,
vanditvāna upāvisiṁ;
So me dhammamadesesi,
anukampāya gotamo.
Regaining my mind,
I paid homage and sat down.
Out of compassion
Gotama taught me the Dhamma.
Tassa dhammaṁ suṇitvāna,
pabbajiṁ anagāriyaṁ;
Yuñjantī satthuvacane,
sacchākāsiṁ padaṁ sivaṁ.
After hearing his teaching,
I went forth to homelessness.
Applying myself to the Teacher’s words,
I realized the state of grace.
Sabbe sokā samucchinnā,
pahīnā etadantikā;
Pariññātā hi me vatthū,
yato sokāna sambhavo”ti.
All sorrows are cut off,
given up, they end here.
I've fully understood the basis
from which grief comes to be.
… Vāseṭṭhī therī ….
