A better and simpler choice might be to limit payouts from government subsidized flood insurance to a one time payment, both per site and per property owner.)
Yes, that. Show me news coverage of a flood (or forest fire) and I'll show you someone saying, "Yes, but we just love it here. We're going to rebuild."
This new type of self-promoting campaigns impulsed by Google appears to be an extension of "Google Podium."
I don't think "impulsed" is a word. And this isn't just grammar pedantry, I really don't know what they think it means in this context. Supported? Designed? Driven? Endorsed? Created?
That's why body temperature is 98.6 degrees F. It was 37 C in the original study, which correctly reported error bars. But it showed up in US medical texts as 98.6 and now moms freak out if their precious snowflake is 99.0.
Health is a science / phys ed subject, not a math subject.
"People who take X mg of drug Y every week are Z% less likely to have a heart attack."
Does the risk scale linearly with dose? What's the sample size of your study? What's the p-value? If you don't know that understanding health studies requires deep statistical analysis, you aren't ready to have an opinion on that.
The remainder, except for investing, should combined constitute a week of study.
Demographic analysis and virtually all of personal finance (credit cards and mortgages are the big items for most people) can be covered in a week? Really? Maybe if you already understand Algebra 2.
Investing is a broad field that requires the ability to understand and compare annual reports, understanding of entire industries, macroeconomics, etc. Except in the most loose and general of terms, it's not a pre-college subject.
I'm not saying turn people into day traders. I'm saying teach them enough to decide which option they want when their new job offers a 401.
An entire parallel yet grossly superior system of education exists for millionaires and billionaires
And yet, that grossly superior system of education only managed to produce crap politicians. Half of them even deny basic science such as evolution and greenhouse effect of CO2.
Yet they got elected. Which means they succeeded at their chosen profession. Seems their education prepared them just fine.
You've explained the "why" of the problem really well. I'm seeing a lot of comments, though, from people who still don't think there is a problem.
I have a daughter struggling with algebra now. When helping her with homework I've tried to explain what it's actually useful for, not just symbolic manipulation. And I've come up blank more often than not.
Do a search for "algebra practical application" and see how many people are trying and failing to explain in concrete terms how (for instance) factoring polynomials solves anything in the real world.
We should be teaching finance: interest, investing, credit cards, mortgages; demographics: mean vs. median incomes, quintiles; health: risk factors and probabilities, absolute vs. relative risk, etc.
A gun battle broke out in a Palestinian neighborhood late Monday after Israeli forces tried to rescue two soldiers who had mistakenly entered the area because of an error on a satellite navigation app, Israeli authorities said Tuesday.
Really?
Agence France-Presse quoted a Waze official on Tuesday as saying that the setting to warn about areas “dangerous or prohibited for Israelis to drive through” had been switched off on the device the soldiers used.
“In this case, the setting was disabled,” the official told the news agency. “In addition, the driver deviated from the suggested route and, as a result, entered the prohibited area.”
I'm having a really hard time seeing how that's the app's fault.
"Ha ha! Ur clueless noob! I haz gots ur files for free!"
Dumb-ass.
Instead he could have said, "Oh, I didn't realize there were multiple licenses and that some require attribution. I'll go ahead and fix those now. It will take me a couple of days to get them updated." Would have maintained plausible deniability, this whole thing would have blown over, and he'd still have a shop.
NIST isn't the standards body retailers care about. That would be PCI, the organization that determines who can take credit cards. And their deadline was not in 2013. http://www.businesswire.com/ne...
First, why are they only "in the midst of updating" after the deadline has already has passed? This should have been done already.
Payment systems upgrades can be year-long projects. Recertifying with your bank and other partners takes months. And with everyone having to do it at the same time, everyone is stretched thin getting it all done.
Both of you are wrong. You don't have to agree to the license to use the software. You only have to comply with the license if you distribute the software.
Yup, fair point. You don't have to comply with any terms just to use it. It would have been more accurate to say that the only reason you have it at all is that the person who distributed it to you was complying with the terms.
Slashdot Mirror
Vim or Emacs?
Been there.
Done that.
Didn't change a damn thing.
Nope, that's pretty much "Fuck off" right out in plain old English.
"Fuck off" in legalese sounds more like this.

Only if they make them screech
I'm a 30-second bomb! I'm a 30-second bomb!
And then start counting down in the local language.
Then detonate a random time between 5 and 15 in the countdown.
They must have figured the name SCO is available now.

I don't think many consumer-grade drones are going to be "employed in interstate, overseas, or foreign air commerce".

Do some drone subs instead of planes, then you just need a cool rubber "costume" for your drone and you've got a live-action Scooby Doo episode.
Yes, that.
And 80% of Americans are better than average drivers.
That's perfect. "Can you sign my yearbook PDF with your public key?" I hope that becomes a thing.

They put Kevin Mitnick in jail for 5 years for hacking the phone system.
