About Us

Throughout the last few years, many car enthusiasts have started turning their attention to recent vehicles – cars from the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond. Automotive reviewer Doug DeMuro realized there isn’t yet a specific place that’s focused solely on buying and selling these modern enthusiast cars, but there should be – so he and a team created Cars & Bids, with its simple name modeled after Doug’s famous pursuit of “quirks and features.”

Cars & Bids is the best online auction marketplace to buy and sell modern enthusiast cars – and that means pretty much anything that’s cool from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, or 2020s. To us, “cool” ranges from the obvious (a Ferrari F355 or a Lamborghini Gallardo) to the esoteric (a pristine Dodge Dakota Convertible or a Mercury Capri XR2) to the traditional fun cars that enthusiasts love (a Mazda MX-5 Miata or a Porsche 911). Basically everything that’s exciting, fun, interesting, or quirky is welcome here – as long as it comes from the modern era.

Although there are many places to buy and sell a special car, Cars & Bids offers significant advantages over other websites. Here are just a few of our benefits:

  • We’re focused on modern enthusiast cars: the 1980s to the 2020s. That means anyone interested in the next era of exciting cars will come here first to buy and sell.

  • Our fees are low. The buyer’s fee is 4.5%, with a minimum of $225 and a maximum of $4,500 – far below other auction houses and enthusiast car auction websites. Our seller’s fee ranges from $49 for a no-reserve auction or a repeat seller to $89 for a first-time seller with a reserve auction.

  • We believe that every vehicle should come with a vehicle history report – so we provide one, for free, instead of asking sellers to pay for their own.

  • Doug DeMuro will bring extra eyes – and extra buyers – to your cars, periodically reviewing cars offered on Cars & Bids. If your car is chosen, you’ll get far more eyes on your vehicle than any other auction platform on earth.

  • While other car auctions take weeks or even months to get your car listed and available to buyers, we’ll get your car listed quickly – and we’ll even take your input on scheduling your car’s auction.

  • Cars & Bids makes it easy to submit your car for sale. We value your time by asking for only a few crucial details before letting you know whether or not we’re accepting your vehicle. That means you don’t have to waste your time providing initial information only to have your car rejected.

  • Cars & Bids is the most user-friendly online automotive marketplace, with easy sorting and searching – and simplified auctions that tell you exactly what you need to know about each vehicle.

  • If you sell a car with Cars & Bids and the high bidder doesn’t follow through on buying it, we’ll do our best to make sure your time hasn’t been wasted. We’ll try to collect a commission from the buyer – and if we’re successful, we’ll give you half of what we collect. That way, you still earn a little money from the time you’ve devoted to your auction. Of course, we’ll also re-list your car for free so it can find another buyer.

About the Course and the Book

This site supports a course and a textbook that guide students and self-learners through the construction of a modern, full-scale computer system - hardware and software - from the ground up. In the process, the students practice many major computer science (CS) abstractions studied in typical CS courses and make them concrete through 12 guided implementation projects. The lectures, book chapters and projects are highly modular and one can pursue subsets of them in any desired order and scope. All the software tools and course materials can be downloaded freely and in open source from this site.

The hardware projects can be built on any personal computer using a simple Hardware Description Language (HDL), described in the book, and a supplied Hardware Simulator.

The software projects (assembler, virtual machine, and compiler for a simple object-based language) can be developed in any programming language, using the project materials available in this site. A mini-OS is also built, using the high-level language designed in the course.

Why Bother? Because many CS students don't understand how computers work; because fewer CS programs requires a compilation course; because many computer architecture courses are too detailed; because nothing beats the thrill of creating something from almost nothing; because Nand to Tetris engages students in implementing some of the coolest algorithms, data structures and techniques in applied computer science, and because the typical student feedback in Nand to Tetris courses is "the best course I ever took".

Academic framework / pre-requisites Nand to Tetris courses are typically offered as a 1-semester course, consisting of ~13 weekly 3-hour meetings. The course and the book are completely self-contained, requiring only programming (in any language) as a pre-requisite. All the knowledge necessary for building the computer is embedded in the supplied lectures, projects, and book chapters. The result is a synthesis course that can be taken at any stage in an undergraduate or graduate CS program following programming. For example, here is a sample Nand2Tetris Course Syllabus.

Is the course suitable for non-CS majors? Yes, as long as the students can program in some modern programming language. In fact, if you wish to learn or teach a mini CS program, we propose the following three-course sequence: Intro to CS (in either Java or Python), Algorithms, and Nand to Tetris. This sequence gives a hands-on overview of most of the important ideas and techniques in applied computer science.

Does Nand to Tetris interface with Adruino or Raspberry Pie? (this question sometimes comes up) It's important to understand that computer science deals with abstractions, not with specific hardware platforms. Building things with maker boards is a fantastic educational experience, but it does not teach the fundamentals of hardware and software design. If you want to learn these first principles, you must step away from the atoms and delve into the bits. That is, rather than building a hardware platform using physical parts, you have to build it using abstractions and software-based hardware simulators. That's what we do in Nand to Tetris, and that's how real computers are actually built by real hardware and software engineers.

If you wish to teach or organize a Nand to Tetris course: Email us at schocken@gmail.com, and we will send you the Nand to Tetris Instructor Resources Pack. In your email, please include the URL of your home page at your teaching institution / organization.

Online Education In India

As a little kid I once asked my father "how does the eye work". He brought me a picture in an encyclopedia showing a disection of an eye ball with all the parts being given their medical, technical names. But my thirst of knowledge was great so my father told me about Newton and light rays, the lenses and how they focus the image on the retina's surface.

My thirst was not yet quenched, but my father didn't know what else to say, and I grew unpatient. Later in life I learned that the image projecten on the retina is then turned into electric impulses that go to the brain, are converted into a state of your psyche and perceived as an image coming from your senses.

For me it's a bit miraculous and divine how it happens. Back to your question: I don't really think that there is an answer to it, because even if you take a single letter on your screen, all the voltage shifts that happen inside of the machine are very complex, multiple hardware elements take part in it, there is the graphics processor and the screen, the different memory parts and the operating system that manages everything. In such a complicated structure it is very hard to say what actually happens that you can see a group of pixels on your screen that represents a letter "A". And even if you take a very simple microcontroller and a simple display there is quite a lot of operations going on inside, the data being stored, pushed through the arithmetic and logic unit, through the registers and so on. So there is no simple answer as the letter "a" is not a simple high voltage state in one single transistor, and even if you look at a really single byte or an electric impulse it probably does nothing at all.


Ask HN: How does code get translated to voltage inside a ...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6729941

The hardware people make flip-flop circuits, and the software people work with the software equivalent of the same. But neither group properly understands at which point exactly the software|hardware boundary lies. Text in my text editor gets converted to 1's and 0's which then get converted to electric signals inside transistors in my iPad's CPU.


You're asking the question the wrong way around. Text doesn't get converted to 1's and 0's or turned into voltages. The 1's and 0's and voltages are the first principles. Code is emergent behavior.

When you strike a key on your keyboard, what happens? A few circuit lines on the keyboard switch matrix that are normally open become closed circuits. These circuits are inputs to a keyboard decoder chip such as a 74C922. It interprets voltage levels on these lines as 1's or 0's and produces what we call a scan code. This scan code is output serially to the PC over the keyboard connection by sending voltage levels that switch between 1 and 0 over time.

The PC contains a chip (a collection of transistors wired together) that we call a keyboard controller. It sequentially switches a number of transistors to read the incoming scan code bit by bit and store each bit in a flip-flop. We call this collection of flip-flops a register. The keyboard controller also drives voltages representing 1's and 0's onto some circuit lines that are wired into the CPU. We call this an interrupt. More transistors within the CPU will detect that interrupt signal and copy a pattern of 1's and 0's into a particular collection of flip-flops, which we call the program counter register. We now have the concept of an interrupt handler.

The CPU's transistors now drive the 1's and 0's in the program counter register (flip-flops) onto a group of circuit lines. We call that collection the memory address bus, and the pattern an address. The memory is itself a giant collection of flip-flops, a few (8 or 32 or whatever) of which are wired to respond to this pattern on the address bus and drive their contents onto another group of circuit lines that we call the data bus. These contents we call an opcode, and the pattern of this opcode we might call a port-read instruction. Inside the CPU, a particular group of transistors activates to execute this opcode, with the result of copying the contents of a particular port (the flip-flops in the keyboard controller) into a register within the CPU (more flip-flops.) Then the next opcode activates another group of transistors to copy the register flip-flops onto the memory bus, where the 1's and 0's latch into some more memory flip-flops. (There's more to interrupt handling than this of course, but that's the bare essentials.)

Do that many times and you might eventually have a sequence of memory flip-flops with a pattern of 1's and 0's representing a string such as PRINT "HELLO WORLD". But it's not that this text was converted into 1's and 0's. The 1's and 0's are the first principles. It's flip-flops and electric signals all the way down.

"Text" or "code" or "software" are merely abstractions we use to describe emergent behavior arising from groups of transistors shuffling around these 1's and 0's.

I never turn mine off, unless I am leaving for vacation.

Bluetooth mice chew up batteries faster than the mice that use proprietary wireless protocols, and the Magic Mouse seems even worse than that.

I’m sure that you would save some battery shutting off overnight, but once the mouse stops moving, the radio drops to a low power mode quickly.

What I find kills the battery is when I used the MacBook, standalone, far way from the mouse but in Bluetooth range. It seems that the extra power that the mouse expends to try to periodically maintain the long range connection drains the battery.

That said, I have done no formal testing of battery life. I have a constant stream of half-dead AA batteries from a motor application, so I just use the mouse to “finish off” these mostly dead batteries. Battery powered mice work well with half-dead batteries.
