Rather than diving in with a bunch of jargon and equations (which they will need to learn eventually), start with some simple questions about how statistics are actually used and then teach them how to apply statistics correctly
E.g.: If I have flipped a coin five times and they all came up heads, what are the odds of the next flip being heads? Versus: What are the odds of six coin flips all coming up heads?
I'm just waiting for someone to pipe up that DM doesn't exist while not actually knowing what DM is...(It's not really anything too specific yet, but we've got some ideas and some math. It's a placeholder.)
Since nobody knows what it is, anyone who says it doesn't exist would not know what it is.
Slightly misread GP, but limiting yourself to Javascript is foolish. Learn SQL, it's awesome. And Python, it's even more awesome. Javascript is for noobs.
You don't seem to know the difference between drilling and hydraulic fracturing. But either way, this hole won't result in an earthquake cluster like the ones Oklahoma has experienced every 50 years or so.
Nurses are quite will compensated. Furthermore, teachers in high income districts earn good salaries (especially considering how many days off they get per year), and those who teach in low income districts can have their loans forgiven.
The only sport I can think of that's non-stop action is ice hockey. Even soccer and basketball are spurts of action between a lot of passing and positioning.
But here's an interesting question. Would AI be able to make any sense of the commentator whispering while covering a golf tournament?
There is a strong selection bias - mostly they were reviewing the backgrounds of political prisoners and terrorist leadership, not the majority of the foot soldiers.
In addition, from the linked pdf file:
Only 33 cases out of a sample of 259 could be confirmed as having been to university. And for only 22 of them, we knew the exact subject. So they’re much more the kind of relatively socially marginal lumpen class that you would expect Islamists to be recruited from in the West. And among those few people who have a degree, and the 22 where we know which degree they have, a full 13 are actually engineers. So almost two-thirds of Western-based radical militant islamists turned out to be engineers.
How can they extrapolate that "almost two-thirds of Western-based radical militant islamists turned out to be engineers"? All they know is that 13 of the 259 they reviewed had degrees in engineering subjects.
The complaints remind me of the old usenet groups, especially C and perl programming. A few people appointed themselves to be the arbiters of what could be posted, and flamed anyone who didn't meet their personal standards.
On the other hand, take away that moderation and the site quickly degenerates into what/. has become. Given the choice, I'll take StackOverflow the way it is.
Political nonsense comments aside, this reminds me of when a few companies were prosecuted for claiming the garments they sold contained goose down, when they actually contained feathers. The official said it would be okay if the jackets were be filled with 100% horse feathers as long as that was what the label said.
A leader in parallel query processing is Terradata, it uses custom hardware for massive parallelism. Will be interesting to see if Postgresql can scale on commodity/cloud hardware.
Contractors need to realize that they already get healthcare, retirement, sick days, etc., it's just that they need to manage them. The company manages some or all of those things for employees, but if a contractor wants the company to manage it for them there will be a commensurate cut in pay. It really is that simple
Most of the world's oceans are already covered with cables and microphones. All countries who care already have a general idea of where the subs are located. What's needed is a platform that can navigate to that vicinity and track the sub with enough accuracy to destroy it. That's the job of destroyers today, but they don't do it very well against modern subs.
Apollo was well worth the money spent on it. Not the lunar rocks, but the many other scientific advances advances that resulted from engineering a Moon landing. Including the computer you are using.

Unfortunate name there...
terrorists have very little ability as the incidents could have been far worse
You don't think there might be a reason it's harder for them to carry out attacks in the US than it is in some other countries? Really?
Democrat - Cite the fact the launch vehicle was Government funded.
But then defunded to pay for entitlement programs.
If not, forget it. Your solution won't work. If you want to know why it won't work, hire an electrical engineer to explain.

Bullshit. Postgresql can store data in JSON and you can write functions in Javascript (or even better, Python).
Postgres does JSON and NoSQL too. Really well in fact.
Crispy bacon perhaps?

The 100 cancelled projects would have provided all the power needed.
DEC and Data General made "minicomputers", the latest raspberry Pi is a "mini-computer".

Last time I checked, Netflix and Amazon charged for their services.

Even if TV was commercial free there isn't anything worth watching. It's all laugh tracks and fake "reality".

Especially when they find out the noise is from the turbines, not the engines.
