Five months before the company filed for bankruptcy, Proterra's CEO was appointed to the President’s Export Council (PEC), "the principal national advisory committee on international trade."

Bankruptcy, like death, often happens lowly, and then all at once.

Some or all of the item prices seem to be based on the lowest "Used" price. This is not always ideal -- I am not about to buy a bookcase normally around $50 from the one seller that has it at $12. Being able to exclude used prices would be great.

Otherwise great UI and idea.

Doesn't matter, got your browser cookied with the affiliate program. ;)

That's pretty much a defining feature of all (infinitely iterated) fractals [1]

Cool! I didn't appreciate that. I think its interesting to see that behavior in an everyday Fourier series though.

I'm not sure that I'd call something with an infinite number of non-zero Fourier coefficients an "everyday" Fourier series. :)

Any sharp edge in an image has an infinite number of frequencies once Fourier transformed.

This is why images get blurry when resized up! For some reason better algorithms never seem to become popular.

Heh. I hear you. But but on the other hand, a sawtooth is perfectly everyday with an infinite series of coeffs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_wave .

Every function with a Fourier series will have an infinite number of non-zero Fourier coefficients unless it's merely a finite sum of sinusoids. (Like, obviously.) So yeah, those are "everyday" Fourier series.

Some users in the meta-thread pointed out that it'd be better if you could remove your information from this thread when you wanted. So, here's a link to an HTML file with my info in it, which I'll take down in a month or whenever:

Greenwald has said that the Brazilian government has offered him physical protection (but he has declined iirc). I'm sure he has all the help he could want.
