    agreed, it says to me that there is little perceived value in an android tab, so UBI probably thought it was like giving away coffee or something.

    I pay my taxes through automatic withdrawals from every paycheck. On Apr 15 I submit documentation of my tax liability and we settle up with any overages/underages.

  11. Re:Keep the shells on Mathematicians Use Mossberg 500 Pump-Action Shotgun To Calculate Pi · · Score: 1

    Or use the shotgun itself to sweep out a circle of diameter "1 shotgun" and place shells around the perimeter thus estimating the circumference as "x shells". You can then use the shells to measure the length of the shotgun to get a conversion ration between the two units. For garter accuracy you can use a longer gun and or smaller ammunition, and/or use the gun to sweep out a radius instead of the diameter.

    One advantage to using the US system of measures is you get comfortable with units based around the "whatever some dude had in his pockets at the time" standard and converting between arbitrary systems for measuring the same thing.

    yes, very accurate. my challenge is I know some conversions by heart, but only a couple. for example, 453 g/lb. so to go from short tons to metric tons i have to go ton->lb->g->kg->mt

    OK, I'll spell it out.
    * the US invaded a country based on false information
    * this was misrepresented to the legislature and the public at large
    * thousands of americans died fighting this false war
    * we SHOULD have been fighting a real war that mattered. Iraq distracted from that.

    Even if your earlier statement is "true", it doesn't matter and it's not a reason to go to war.

    I think you're assuming that there is only one type of intelligence. some people may have problem-solving skills but no emotional intelligence for how to work with and lead groups. If you have just one type of intelligence you shoudl consider yorself lucky for that and not make fun of those who are also intelligent but different.

    +1 snarky but insightful. there are a bunch of jobs that need to be done and we all have a role to play. I would suggest that Zuck focus his attention on the children of coal miners in rural areas, and help educate them for job opportunities (such as coding) that are not coal mining.

  23. Re:Right! on Michael Bloomberg: You Can't Teach a Coal Miner To Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    the problem with Zuck's thinking is that the logic goes like this:
    1) say "omg coal miners could learn to code!"
    2) expect coal miners to learn to code
    3) blame coal miners when they are out of work but did not become coders
    4) people on the government dole are lazy and shiftless! handouts! obama! socialism!

    It's a very convenient slippery slope for those looking for a way to back into #4.

    they say "To improve processing of your voice input, Google may record a few seconds of ambient background noise in temporary memory at any time.". I take this to mean, they are recording constantly into a buffer at all times.
