From my experience with kids of this generation, there's one teacher who's responsible for most of the positive increase in mathematical competency in recent years: Salman Khan.
I'm sure you'll find any number of politicians and their cronies at the textbook corporations who will claim credit, but when they mess everything up and the children find themselves mystified and befuddled, they turn to Khan for help.
An interesting trend to watch, even if this one doesn't turn out to be verified, is that China is where most of the the significant energy research is happening.
The US will be buying most of its advanced energy tech from China in just a couple decades. A couple decades ago that would have seemed unconscionable.
Say what you want about the relative historical value of the two governments, but one stymies progress with fear-based regulations and denial and the other takes the engineering approach to solving problems. Only one of those can drive prosperity - the leads to despair.
It was the same back in the 90's. NASA had QuickTime VR images of Mars and some scoundrels put up a site where you could pay ~$30 to "control" the rover camera (with no rtt latency, surprisingly enough). Twenty years later, we're paying tax money for StreetView Mars for no sound reason.
That's why private property is a good idea. If the natives owned the property (the last monarch's corruption makes it worth a separate argument) , they'd probably want the rent. Or at least the builders would have known ahead of time that building the telescope was not worth their time. If the scientists owned the property then it would have just been built already. The idea of "public property" is what leads to these sorts of conflicts; low - IQ politicians are a far worse way to decide issues then rationally-enforced market discipline.
It's not 20,000 voters, it's 20,000 political activists (that distinction is the point of the Project). With fewer than 2000 in-state already some tremendous gains have been made.
No, there's no evidence that Assange has an STD. According to reports, the woman who was kicked out of Cuba on charges of being a CIA spy (who he foolishly screwed) raised the issue with the other women and encouraged them to go to the police to inquire. They regret being used like that, but Asssange still has the Bank of America CxO hard drive image, so obviously this would happen (he was warned that he'd be honeypotted with sex and ignored it).
You miss the point. Nobody who wants a good gun wants a 3D-printed gun in 2016 (check back in a decade). The issue is always the government oppression that arises from such happenings. Free Speech still falls under 'stuff that matters'. Maybe you weren't around for CryptoWar I when we illegally wore T-shirts with the RSA algorithm on it to trade shows.
timothy has been trolling you guys hard for years. You feed him every. single. time. and sell ad impressions for him while doing so. No wonder the new boss decided to keep him on - his click rate must be fabulous by now with highly refined trolling techniques.
"National honor" really is at stake. The Espionage Act of 1917 is a democratic disaster and leads to most of our current ills (those who installed a "secret government") weren't fools - they see the bugs as features.
If we have users here who support the secret state, they're really against this country's founding principles and can be safely dismissed as cowards or cronies.
Democracy has nothing to do with it. Three bureaucrats simply cannot have as much information on a driver or a car as three thousand riders.
That's the information theory side of politics, not the polisci side. (Not that bureaucrats are elected anyway.)
The taxi industry is the case study for corruption under government monopoly grants. There may be an exception that proves the rule, but in nearly every case, having actual humans involved screws up the ideal theory.
Meanwhile a simple automatic booking, rating, and paying system solves the base problem far more effectively, incentivizes actual humans to behave, and even addresses outstanding problems, like cabbie safety, for the first time.
As usual, the rational, economics-based solution far outperforms the strictly emotional (political) approach.
It's pretty popular around here -/. should look into it.
Soylent already fixed Slashcode - sync and send pull requests. They haven't stolen this community and they're not going to with their editorial style, which doesn't fit the folks here.
Slashdot Inc. or whatever has done a very poor job of stewardship of Slashcode for over a decade. It's silly, really - keeping all the bugs secret is never what kept people here.
Oh, my, it's not even routing. The script just tries a speedtest service without concern for whatever else might be competing with the Pi for transfer.
The usefulness and appropriateness of complaining like this can be debated, but when he connects to a big torrent and his Pi starts complaining that Comcast is being slow - well, that's just an asshole move.
I've had this problem - even with a SanDisk pro-level SD card (buggy controller revision). But if Android offered a proper format/qualify process, it would have saved me all that frustration and placated Google's concern. No, they want to rent people cloud 'services' to make up for a lack of storage.

Same here. Mobile doesn't have the 1990's comment delay problem, but it has it's own warts.

Congress aalways exempts itself. I'm in NH and I have about a hundred numbers on my political blacklist so far.
Somebody else please take the #1 primary spot!
When John McAfee looks like the best candidate in the race, the Nation is truly in shambles.
@whipslash - mobile is dropping content.
I'm sure the government school's ethics class will be as philosophically rigorous as the folklore they teach as history is factually accurate.
And that it'll err o

yeah, but that's like 2 months of guarding the heroin supply in Afghanistan, so, like, priorities dude.

"Biden remains on standby"
Wise words. Nothing matters except for the Convention. The floor can vote to suspend the rules, and then any nomination can be acted on.
Biden v. Trump goes to Biden. The DNC doesn't need the box full of live grenades they have for candidates now.
Jeez, here it can cost $60K to get cable TV run a mile - WA electric will drop a few megawatts of capacity for free?
Higher rates seem much easier to handle, as long as restaurants and other high-risk businesses get the same deal, and there are sunset provisions.
The odds for Hillary were always 100% - Bernie doesn't believe in money.
The other option is state-controlled currencies, which enable warfare, which is far more environmentally damaging.
