I do something like it (central errtrap)
See subject: In APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-7 32/64-bit https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=%22APK+Hosts+File+Engine%22+and+%22start64%22&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=1/ I override std. structured errhandling in my code & pipe abends into a log (but I don't send it anywhere NOR does it record keystrokes (only errors/abends/crashes), it remains on user's disk) via a central TryTryCatchExcept routine that keeps all error handling std. (makes the program uncrashable for all intents & purposes too as a bonus).
APK
P.S.=> It's also uninfectable by traditional jump table attaching viruses & checks its size in every single routine, inline for speed (vs. calling a single centrally pointed to function that is a single point of fail to take out to override & undo) & IF it changes by even 1 byte? It warns the user it may be compromised & to reinstall it from a fresh pristine copy... apk

Re:Zillow *undervaluing*? That's new
my real estate agent Chicago (which, btw, is Cook Co), did her due dilligence in '03. Zillow claimed that, at the time, it was worth 20% more. They lied.
Considering the company didn't exist until 2006, I think you either described your situation wrong or have a faulty memory of the timing of it all.

Re:wrong....
>> Research shows students don't learn by hearing or seeing,
> Speak for yourself, a good lecture reduces the time to learn for many.Agreed. This isn't entirely correct -- it depends on WHO and WHAT is being taught. If you are deaf or blind chances are you won't be learning by hearing or seeing respectively.
This claim that "students don't learn by hearing or seeing" is complete bullshit.
Martial Teachers first demonstrate a move or counter-move
...>> they learn by doing, a model often called active learning.
... and then get the students to replicate it.Because they are using a multimodal learning approach to learning.
People learn differently. Not everyone has the same strength towards cognitive, audio, visual, tactile, experiential learning. The best teachers incorporate ALL styles of teaching and learning.

No need for special spoon?
It would be interesting to see how it works with tasks other than writing and drawing. I wonder if this would negate the need for the special spoon that was invented a few years ago. https://www.google.com/#q=spoo...

Re: None of them.
It's not worth it (for me, anyway). That's the point. I realize what the trade off is, and it's worth it to me. It's not that I don't value my privacy, it's that the kind of information Google is getting from me is fairly innocuous, and if I had anything important; data I didn't want shared, proprietary things I need for work, for example - then I wouldn't be using Google.
I guess we have different definitions of 'innocuous'
If you use Gmail, Google knows the content of every email you've ever sent and the content of every email you've ever received.
If you use Maps to get directions, Google knows when you asked, and where you were the whole time you were navigating.
If you use Search, then Google knows everything you've ever searched, whether you're signed in to Google or not.
If you use their DNS, then Google knows every site you've ever visited while using it
They can and do report information to government agencies upon request
Individually each of these things might seem innocuous, but combined, they paint a fairly complete picture of who you are, who your contacts are, what you and they are doing, and where you go (both in meatspace and online).
I guess what I'm saying is that we must be operating under different definitions of 'innocous'

Re:What's a draft horse?
His Belgian Brabant are the type of working horses that were common on Wisconsin farms before motor vehicles took over much of their work.

No dude, for a lot of companies you could say that, but check it out. They have ~$200billion in the bank, and make around $50billion in profit every year. If you bought Apple for $800billion you'd be able to make your money back in 12 years.

Culture
I wouldn't worry too much about programmers, nobody really cares that a webapp wont compile, be worried that the doctor/surgeon you see didn't go to med school and just bought his qualifications just like these programmers did, in India its not even seen as a bad thing, try getting an Indian who fucked up to admit it, even faced with direct evidence they will lie.

Re:Shouldn't people be fired for incompetence?
The academics who sit on the board advise the EPA's scientific board on whether its research is sound.
Ok, then if you are producing a bunch of faulty research that is getting past these advisors, why should they not be fired? They obviously are not working out.
I mean the EPA actually CAUSED more pollution than they have prevented in recent years, without any consequence - so there is some major house cleaning to be done there.
So... in your mind one accidental spill by the EPA is more pollution than all of the pollution prevented across the US through EPA laws over that year... I'd like to see your scientific calculations to prove this assertion. Somehow I think that your opinion is tragically flawed.

Hosts add speed (via hardcodes/adblocks), security (vs. bad sites/malware/poisoned dns), reliability (vs. dns down), & anonymity (vs. dns requestlogs/trackers).
Less power/cpu/ram + IO use vs. DNS/routers/addons/antivirus + less security bugs/complexity & faster vs. addons/routers/remote dns!
Avoids DNSChangers in routers/IP settings & dns redirects (99.999% of ISP DNS != patched vs. it) + lightens DNS load & resolves faster from local system RAM!

Re: Haha
Which? You give no cites, and I didn't see any in https://www.google.com/search?... a casual Google search. Give cites. I think you are lying.

Re:Two Words
I never said 75 billion, or 80 billion. I have only ever discussed millions of cubic meters. The AC's correction was incorrect, but I was trying to be nice about it.
Pro tip: Never try to remember your scale or units. That makes it far too easy to forget a conversion or miss an order of magnitude. Instead, set out a big and ugly formula in small pieces, then plug in the numbers. Google will keep track of units for you, no matter how complicated they become. That provides a check at each step that you're actually calculating something that makes sense.

Re:Two Words
In my defense, I didn't do that conversion myself.
Regardless, I don't see the issue here. Yes, 20 billion gallons is a volume equivalent to about 75 million (not billion) cubic meters. However, since we're also want to know the volume of ice, which is about 90% as dense as water, it becomes just over 84 million cubic meters. Using only one significant figure, that approximates to 80 million cubic meters.

Re:Two Words
I did some math. Previously, I've considered similar absurd ideas, and the cost just didn't fall in their favor.
I feel I should start with a disclaimer: It's currently a very late (or early, depending on one's perspective) hour of the evening, and my physics skill isn't what it used to be. I invite and encourage you all to review my work, and if I'm wrong, please tell me how.
Based on the figures provided, we can work out the magnitude of the problem. The first computation is simple: Our speed will be
.3m/s, to travel the (roughly) 10000 kilometers between Antarctica and the UAE in one year.20 billion gallons of water corresponds to roughly 80 million cubic meters of ice. Cut into a sphere for ease of transport and calculation, it would have a radius of about 300 meters, with a cross-sectional area of about 200,000 square meters. We'll ignore the air resistance of the 10% above water, which falls within the error of my rough calculations. Calculation for the force of drag is ugly*, but works out roughly to C*9*10^6 newtons. That "C" is a coefficient simplifying the effect of the iceberg's shape, ranging from 0.5 for a sphere to 2 for more troublesome shapes.
Considering that range, the water's drag is between 4 and 20 meganewtons. A power source (tugboat, added motors, etc) will need to supply that much force just to maintain speed. If I remember my physics correctly, at 0.3m/s, that's between 2000 and 7000 horsepower.
There are tugboats with that much power. I haven't found much information on the annual cost to operate such a beast, but one tugboat operator gives price estimates per hour. For the purposes of this discussion, we can assume that the quoted price covers the operator's expenses well enough to also cover the overhead of running such a large operation, and the benefits of scale will cover the higher costs of an ocean-going expedition. Those are some very large assumptions, but I don't have information to clarify it further.
With those assumptions, the cost to pull an iceberg for a year is only about $20 to $100 million. That's surprisingly cheap, putting the cost of mostly-fresh water at under $0.001 per liter ($0.005 per gallon). In comparison, a desalination plant supplies water at about $0.0005 to $0.003 per liter ($0.001 to $0.01 per gallon).
In short, it's expensive, but it's in the same ballpark as regular desalination for that much water, and if the losses due to melting and evaporation can be controlled, it might just be feasible. As noted in TFA and elsewhere, it would also be quite the spectacle, promoting yet more tourism to the area.
* The formula I ended up with is F[drag] = C*.5*1g/cm^3*(.9*pi*(80000000 m^3/(4*pi/3))^(2/3))*(0.3m/s)^2.
