80% of people who apply for programming courses at Universities fail in the first two semesters. Of the remaining 20%, over half of them can't create a proper mental model of what is going on and only get by with luck and determinism. Only 10% of people who even apply are useful...
Imagine how much better those numbers could be if people were exposed to these concepts at a younger age...
âoeI cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.â
He must not have looked very hard:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Their strict gun control guarantees that nobody ever gets shot there, and now this law will guarantee that they will be safe from terrorists and drug traffickers too!
Yep, we should just get rid of murder laws too since murder still happens.
Carbon-Neutral Coal simply does not exists and is a laughable proposition.
If I suggested we skip the whole solar power thing because my perpetual motion machine will take care of our energy needs I would expect to be called an idiot.
Imagine that, a change that effects the entire planet's atmosphere might cause a whole variety of changes across said planet. Its almost like if you change variables in a chaotic system you can get a wide range of surprising effects.
I know it's fun to blame everything on Obama but the cancellation of the Yucca Mtn project was caused by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, passed on April 14, 2011.
This is such a non-issue. Who owns the family car in a divorce (assume they only have one)?
This isn't Solomon level decision making here, they don't cut the fucker in half. They figure out what the car is worth and they give half of that to the person that doesn't get the car.
Could it also be related to poorer parents working more hours, thus having less time to be with the kids during their early years playing with them, reading for them and otherwise stimulating their brain development? Or has that been corrected for?
Why would it need to be corrected for? If its was caused by Poverty then it SUPPORTS THE CONCLUSION.
How did people become so poor at basic science on this site?
Couldn't that be said by BOTH sides of this issue? Wouldn't it be injustice to force a private citizen to enter a private business contract/engagement with another private citizen against their will and against their beliefs?
No. That question was answered with de-segregation.
Large segments of society are not on board with the PC, wimpy, constantly-whining-about-bullying-and-____ism that is pervasive in media, especially an institution like BBC. Clarkson is a figure who pushes back at that trend, and many see him as a hero (now perhaps a martyr) for it
Careful, your persecution complex is showing. The guy was fired for physically assaulting someone. Assault is not considered free speech in any jurisdiction.
True, some ways of eating well are easier than others, though.
Personally, I have had some success recently by simply going with healthier starches. I could probably eat a pound of potatoes in a sitting, my body just loves that stuff, so for weeknight meals we do things like barley instead. Sub black or brown rice for white rice, etc...
I think if you want to support ISIS and fundamentalist Islam in a Western country, you should be given a one-way ticket to the Islamic country of your choice.
I do not agree with what you say. Not only will I not defend your right to say it, but I will try to get you deported. --definitely not Voltaire

So, the native clients mentioned in the summary should be the killer app then?
Or, do you think they're using non-standard terminology there?
Took a look at the site to try and figure that out but didn't really see an answer...
Retroactive copyright extensions that actually do steal content from the public domain: Totally not a game rigged from the top down, apparently.

Don't worry. She's still dead 5 hours later!

Not that facts will convince anyone but France's per-capita firearm related fatality rate is 2.8 compared to the US's at 10.6.
Yeah, looks pretty damn linear to me.

This one is just odd though. You're not at all curious about human behavior?
I guess we should only post science stories that agree with your political positions.
I know it's fun to blame everything on Obama but the cancellation of the Yucca Mtn project was caused by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, passed on April 14, 2011.
Approved by Congress, Cancelled by Congress.
So I'll just "emminent domain" away your property, give you below market value for it, and you'll be fine with it 'cause "Science," right?
It's amazing how once you make something legal, it's no longer illegal. Those tricky Mexicans!!
you'd be lucky to get 20W from them on a very good windy day.
From the article: Its 9744Wh battery is powered by a 750W silent wind turbine
So they made the exact same mistakes you did when you entered the workforce. Good to know.
Mom was a schizophrenic, my dad an alcoholic.
Whatever you do, DON"T avail youself of any charity for mental illness or substance abuse.
Afterall, the mere existence of those charities/organizations is reverse discrimination against people who don't have schizophrenia or alcoholism!
but what have we in the way of substantive evidence that this is actually so? [crickets]
A guilt verdict in federal court is pretty substantive.

See I choose not to be a dumb fuck and live in a state that is going to fall in the ocean if it doesn't burn to death before then.
LOL. You should learn a bit about the Geology in the area.
I wonder how the myopic thinkers will react to this scenario. Of course, we'll have to wait a decade for them to realize what has already happened.
Pretty sure they will consider it "Mission Accomplished."

I'm guessing you live in "The Land of the Free."
