Math is more than a process- it is a language that is universal to the entire world. I think many underestimate the advantage of math fluency at least on the level of a spoken language.
Talk to any great physicist or mathmetician and they will tell you that they have learned to visualize numbers and 'see' relationships between them on an intuitive level. Read Feynman's biography and he will describe how he could approximate and massage numbers much faster than anyone could use a calculator.
This type of brain development is completly missed with calculators- sure I think an engineer or accountant should use one but not school children.
Actually I have my son check his work with a caclulator, so now he is adapt with both.
Tycho's elk and dwarf Tycho was said to own one percent of the entire wealth of Denmark at one point in the 1580s and he often held large social gatherings in his castle. He kept a dwarf named Jepp (whom Tycho believed to be clairvoyant) as a court jester who sat under the table during dinner. Pierre Gassendi wrote[6] that Tycho also had a tame elk, and that his mentor the Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel (Hesse-Cassel) asked whether there was an animal faster than a deer. Tycho replied, writing that there was none, but he could send his tame elk. When Wilhelm replied he would accept one in exchange for a horse, Tycho replied with the sad news that the elk had just died on a visit to entertain a nobleman at Landskrona. Apparently during dinner[9] the elk had drunk a lot of beer, fallen down the stairs, and died.[10][6]
How about if this comet was from another system and the star went supernova- the comet was far enough away to survive but was 'reformed'. This would also explain how it would escape the star's gravity.
The point is that if you massage the number too much it doesn't mean anything any more. If you report the number of people working vs those who are not, it is very easy to understand how the number was generated and what it means. Should we come up with some crazy algorithm so it is usually 0% just to make us feel better?
I don't know how many 'extra' hours I have avoided by suggesting a simple data or business process change to put out a fire in the place of playing the 'hero' and coding a solution over night. The customer can implement these types of solutions immediatly and with zero risk.
I don't think this is a crazy question at all, the leading zeros problem pops up everywhere. I would be very hesitant to hire someone that isn't aware of the issue as it indicates that they have zero experience with data design.
If the employer really cared they would set up an automatic boot system. If the employees really cared they would take turns having someone come in early and turn the machines on.

Clinton played an accounting trick by lumping social security into the general fund.
There was no surplus.

How in gods name will children learn how to waste time at work without these valuable tools!

Computers are a huge distractions and in many cases reduce productivity.
Wow! thats super c... uggh... forget it

One of our corporate customers demanded we switch to struts for all of our new web apps.
What a nightmare that was.
Think 'millions of tiny classes'.

I think the intent here is more about surveying a large amount of the sky than magnification.
There is absolutely no need to stop down a lens like this- everything is infinity focused.
Listen to you... I rest my case.
Your fired!
The cost of routing all that data back to a single place to record it would be phenominal.
If someone is willing to waste the customers money on such a silly optimization who knows what they are capable of.
If I saw any of our developers do this I would fire them immediatly.

That is what experience buys you.

TFA says 'highest rating given to an OS'
Check your facts.
It's been some time since I researched hardened OSs but these methodologies slow down the operating system by a noticable amount.
I doubt that the same company that wrote the OS also wrote the operations software for the B1. Not sure where you get a LOL from.
This doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you consider the number of female doctors and lawyers, both of which take on huge responsibilities.
