It seems on our culture learning is not a process, is a job for theachers. Theres no importance put on teaching people how to learn. About a 50%, maybe a 25% of teaching sould be training people how to learn things.
If you'd actually learned how to construct a sentence or two, the rest of us might understand what you are trying to say.
I think many of us, particuarly the younger generation, are already doing the latter. In order to adapt to this, we have to adjust our expectations of people.
According to the slides, at least, that's not the case. The presenter claims that younger users are more likely to actively manage their privacy settings. He seems to be implying that people opt for more control over who sees their profile when they understand how to do so, and stop using the service (or have a bad experience) when they don't.
Yes, the US is fat. But from the people I stand next to on the metro, sit next to in restaurants, see on the street, so is a large portion of Spain, France and Italy.
Again, I'm going on my own experience, which is more meaningful to me than a chart.
Maybe I should have narrowed it down to specific countries. But then, we could probably also narrow it down to specific states within the US, which would probably be more comparable to specific countries within Europe.
Apparently we need to narrow it down to people you stand next to, sit next to, and see. Snark aside, have you considered that people in your geographic/socioeconomic/professional area might not be representative of the population as a whole?
Share your lawn, buddy, and spread a little encouragement (or even advice, since you seem think you're quite informed as to what, exactly the "many pitfalls/roadblocks" are in a project such as this. Why don't you enumerate them? God forbid you tell him anything other than - "you're young and stupid - this project is too hard for you").
Or we could just wait until he gets bored with this and moves on to a pedal-powered blender.
Or some kind of half-assed racing game in the middle of your RPG.
Yep, it never fails. You're doing your RPG thing and then suddenly here comes CrappyMarioKart again. Nothing like a racing mini-game with second-thought graphics and controls to "enhance" the experience. Not jarring at all, no siree.
The turrets and drones don't make any sense to start with... It looks like they're built out of an office chair with a weapon strapped on top - how do they even function?
Now THAT sounds like a good project for the 3-day weekend.
The Hayabusa team managed to recover a severely f'ed spacecraft on a shoestring budget despite misfortune on top of misfortune. Congratulations to them.
Industry mutual masturbation is not a counter argument, but the rest of your point stands.
Yes, television industry groups hand out television awards. It seems that the International Maple Syrup Institute didn't have the time or inclination to do so. That's a shame, given that their obvious lack of bias would more than make up for their ignorance of the subject matter.
What I didn't realise until I read a review recently is that although the Bumper solves the antenna issue, it means that you cannot plug in your standard iPod/iPhone connectors!
When I first read that the stainless steel surround was an antenna...The laws of physics are against you, and any engineer should be able to point that out.
Well, now we know the material selection criteria. Laws of physics...or sleek and shiny?
Nice guys who "do no evil" ultimately finish last.
No, actually, they don't. In short: cooperation is beneficial, and it's easier to find cooperative partners if you have a reputation of being "nice". If we're talking about a one-round zero-sum game, then nice guys finish last. Most practical "games" don't fall into that category.
I have no problem with this ruling, seeing as the agency concerned has no evidence to show that what happened with the problematic rig is likely to happen, with any sort of likelihood, on any other rig.
This is the opposite of insightful. The event on the problematic rig was highly unlikely to happen, but when it did happen there was no way to recover. It's still leaking now - two months later. Claiming that lightning won't strike twice is not an intelligent response.
If journalists are only embedded on one side, then we're only getting half of the story, no?
Read the text you quoted from the GP again. Reuters' subcontractors were actually members of Hezbollah. That would be like finding out that the "embedded journalist" is actually the platoon sergeant.
Yes. One of the stipulations of having a GSA schedule contract is that the government gets Most Favored Customer pricing. Them's the rules, and you break them at your peril.
There is no such thing as "proprietary" data ( or "propriety" data according to the article). Data is just published or unpublished. No one owns it.
In return for providing engineers with an excuse to build a spacecraft and collect the data, you get first crack at turning it into useful information. You then "publish" your analysis in the most prestigious journal you can.
If you think that having a bunch of economists shout "It's a bubble!" will keep others from charging in, then you haven't been paying attention. There is a willing suspension of disbelief on the part of those making a crapload of money off of the bubble of the day. Everyone knows it can't go on, but devil take the hindmost.
...which includes "deemed export", e.g. exporting information by permitting a foreign national access to it.
Typically DoD stuff.
Most of the categories in the list of "munitions" covered by ITAR are pretty clearly military. Category XV, however, covers "Spacecraft Systems and Associated Equipment", including non-military equipment.
Just like government cars and trucks that are bought for every day use are assembled in Mexico/Canada from parts from China or wherever GM/Ford builds them.
See "deemed export". Sending drawings and technical data to an overseas supplier would get you in trouble.
I was on the wrestling team at a heavier but very fit weight, being a state wrestler.
Hilarious. I don't think too many people out there understand why you feel the need to defend being in a heavier weight class: "Yes, I wrestled at one of the heavier weights, but no, I wasn't one of those cold fish they draft off of the football team and throw out there to avoid a forfeit."
You didn't answer his question at all, which I thought was a good one.
Actually, he answered a better question. The submitter is basically saying: "My day job doesn't really scratch this itch I have, but I have time and some surplus cash on my hands. What should I do?" The answer is: Invest some time and cash in figuring out what would actually make you happy - and consider making a career of it.

Stop wasting the waste of money and have your professors and TAs walk around and watch the students.
As a TA, I warned them: There will be four of us standing around for three hours with nothing better to do than catch you.
They'd do it anyway, and get caught.
Create a minefield-clearing machine that works by simply "rolling" across landmine-suspected areas and detonating mines.
It exists.

Geez, show some sensitivity. It's not scalpers, it's "National Association of Ticket Brokers".

Xacto?
the law should give me the right to insist that my coworkers don't kill me slowly!
Not with smoke, at least. I'm sure they've got other means.

Just about any time someone is asking you to "voluntarily" do something, it's just a veiled threat.
Wow. You must be a real treat at dinner.
