A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? Exploring how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, 'Algorithms To Live By' helps to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. When should you switch between different tasks, and how many tasks should you take on in the first place? How much messiness should you accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favourites is the most fulfilling? When computers face constraints of time and space, they too must untangle very human questions: how to have better hunches, when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us. Acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms developed for computers can be... Views: 27

Her juices dripped out of her as he did and when he slipped between her folds Michelle swallowed me and moaned through her mouthful. Allen very slowly pushed all the way in and then pulled all the way out dripping Michelle’s fluid on to my face. Once he was parted from her he pushed his erection downward so I could swallow him and to taste his fiance on his manhood. I had to admit the taste was amazing and as his rod slid farther into my mouth I tried to swallow every bit of their mixture as I possibly could. Allen slowly pulled out of my mouth and replaced himself inside Michelle. I could hear Michelle moan deeper as he did and Allen pushed into her again then out to have me swallow him again. Once again I could not believe that I was allowing a man to put his johnson in my mouth but from the position of where Michelle was on top of me and the taste of their sex mixed together I did not care in the slightest. I hoped in that one moment that I could contact them on the other side of our hike and maybe do this again in a bedroom or perhaps we could get a hotel room because this whole experience was changing me and my views on sex. Allen was rock hard as he slowly rotated in and out of my sucking mouth and Michelle never once stopped blowing me as Allen and I had our moment. He pulled out of me and pushed back into Michelle who was quivering and dripping with sweat. He grabbed her hips and began a slow rhythm of penetration allowing me enough space to suck in Michelle's clit. The sex that dripped from her was even more intoxicating than the alcohol we drank earlier and as I licked her flesh she began to speed up her oral pleasure on me. Her moans grew in volume as Allen and I both pleased her and before I knew she was cumming harder than the first time. Allen began ramming deeper and harder into Michelle which turned her into a tiger on top of me and as her climax ripped through her she bucked her hips making it nearly impossible for me to keep a hold of of her love nub. She stayed on my erection through out Allen's slamming motion and what ever it was that she did during her explosion with her mouth was all it took for me to begin mine. Allen's own groans increased and he shoved one good time deep inside Michelle when he held still so I could watch his balls empty in to Michelle's eager vagina. Michelle had a third orgasm that was more just a part of the second and sucked as hard as she could on my shaft which made me release. The org Views: 27
Primo Levi was one of the most astonishing voices to emerge from the twentieth century. This landmark selection of his short stories opens up a world of wonder, love, cruelty and curious twists of fate, where nothing is as it seems. In 'The Fugitive' an office worker composes the most beautiful poem ever with unforeseen consequences, while 'Magic Paint' sees a group of researchers develop a paint that mysteriously protects them from misfortune. 'Gladiators' and 'The Knall' are chilling explorations of mass violence, and in 'The Tranquil Star' a simple story of stargazing becomes a meditation on language, imagination and infinity. Views: 26

Second in size only to Jupiter, bigger than a thousand Earths but light enough to float in water, home of cushing gravity and delicate, seemingly impossible rings, it dazzles and attracts us: Saturn. Earth groans under the rule of fundamentalist political regimes. Crisis after crisis has given authoritarians the upper hand. Freedom and opportunity exist in space, for those with the nerve and skill to run the risks. Now the governments of Earth are encouraging many of their most incorrigible dissidents to join a great ark on a one-way expedition, twice Jupiter’s distance from the Sun, to Saturn, the ringed planet that baffled Galileo and has fascinated astronomers ever since. But humans will be human, on Earth or in the heavens — so amid the idealism permeating Space Habitat Goddard are many individuals with long-term schemes, each awaiting the right moment. And hidden from them is the greatest secret of all, the real purpose of this expedition, known to only a few… Views: 26
