Unfortunately, being able to identify the sharper kids is more likely to have them stuck between two dimmer kids. The summery even has that point.
"And another scene shows a geometry teacher reassigning students' seating assignments based on their 'character strengths', moving a green-coded female student ('actively participates: 98%') next to a red-and-yellow coded boy ('shows enthusiasm: 67%')
If we lived in a world where the goal wasn't to make everyone equal, the data could be used to let the brighter kids excel. That won't happen in our current environment. Since everyone must be equal, the brightest kids are not allowed to go beyond the slowest kids.
I can give you a reason. It is not my children's responsibility to raise the children of those who breed without caring. I homeschool my children. I do it because I want them to have a good education that is not held back by age based ranking. This is a common theme among homeschooling families. An argument that consistently is leveled against us as a group is that we are taking the best and brightest from the schools, leaving the public schools to flounder with only the most difficult and slowest kids.
What this kind of tracking would lead to is what is said in the summary: "And another scene shows a geometry teacher reassigning students' seating assignments based on their 'character strengths', moving a green-coded female student ('actively participates: 98%') next to a red-and-yellow coded boy ('shows enthusiasm: 67%')". My son is oldest son is 9. He has not chosen to have children of his own at that age, and thus it is not his responsibility to raise someone elses child.
I am far more worried about the massive crazy being taught to kids by trying to get them to empathize with a cockroach than I am with the crazy being taught to kids by having them perform experiments on a live cockroach. There is an epidemic of 'crazy cat lady' going on these days. It has spread to men, and jumped species to create 'crazy dog men' as well as women.
It really is kind of scary how common it has become for people to equate humans with other lower animals. There was a time when the crazy cat lady was considered...well... crazy. Today, she is considered normal.
This is why psychology is a joke. Just a couple of generations ago, torturing insects as a game was ubiquitous. A few generations before that, and killing small animals was ubiquitous outside of large cities. The questions like "Did they abuse or kill small animals when young?" is confirmation bias and pure fantasy.
And yet they are the only two parties responsible for our current state of financial distress. Your post implies that the Democrats and Republicans do not "want all the bennies of living in a civilized society but think that paying for it is bad." because they lie you to you first.
Looking at the financial state of our Federal government, state governments, and local municipalities, it is entirely unfair to leave off the Republicans and Democrats from your list.
If time can be created from the nothingness, and a low entropy state in the process, entropy has been reversed, and we are back to the second law of thermodynamics being flawed.
and ultimately the answer is "it just is" : Magic!
"I don't know": A declaration that heat death is absolutely going to happen contradicts this.
"God just is": Magic!
"there just is a universe that recycles itself such that even entropy is reversed in the long run": Perpetual Motion!
"there is just this one universe": Not an answer to the question.
Dad had full custody because want the kids until she started hanging out with friends who had kids.
There is a good chance that you are correct about the poster's child not being able to keep the phone. People can be weird though. When they are doing horrible things, they tend to rationalize away that what they are doing is wrong. This can lead to unpredictable behavior like letting a kid have something that they wouldn't allow were they to acknowledge their own evil. So, while the mom might take the phone away, the cost of a cheep phone and a prepaid sim card might be worth the risk for this dad.
He just needs to be ready for it if mom decides child can't keep the phone.
Domino is incredibly cheap. Cheap enough that I license it to run in my home. Look up the pricing on "Domino Express". It is the same application the "Enterprise" version with the caveats that there is no clustering (yes there is still replication), and you have to have less than a 1000 users. There are a couple of other small items that I don't remember, but nothing serious. If you have a small shop, you likely wouldn't use the clustering anyway.
I do a lot of development in Domino, and there aren't many platforms that are as stable, flexible, and as quick to develop in as Domino. Because of this, combined with in inexpensive licensing, it is a great fit for small shops.
Bingo. Look at a lot of the complaints about Domino, and it tends to center around people trying to compare it to Outlook. While I think Domino compares favorably with Outlook, Comparing Domino to Outlook is like comparing Apples to modern agriculture.
No, tons of people like Notes. It is just trendy in IT to hate it. People actually doing work like it just fine. One of the current reasons that Notes gets a bad rap is that it takes so much less resources to run it. You might have 1 or 2 guys running your Notes platform where it takes 6 or 8 guys to run other platforms within the company. So, when you sit down for a meeting, and there is a platform clash, you have 6 guys pointing out the flaws of Notes, with one point out the flaws of the competing product. This makes it look like Notes is inferior.
I'm not saying that Notes/Domino are perfect, but if you look at most of the complaints, it will be about versions from over a decade ago. Then most of those complaints will fall into 4 categories:
1) It was slow. This was a somewhat legitimate complaint. Notes was a big application with a lot of functionality. Almost the entire server code base was included with the client. This had the downside of making the application bloated. The upside was that your server based applications ran just as well locally, and would replicate to the server as soon as you connected. This is less critical today, and the added weight is less of an issue.
2) It would crash. This was true, although it didn't crash any more than most applications of the day. Complaints about Notes crashes fall into the same category as complaints about Win95's blue screen of death. Historical trivia.
3) It didn't follow standards. This is only sort of true. What it didn't do was follow 'Windows' standards. This is because Notes/Domino both predated Windows, and thus it's standards, and it was cross platform. Lotus had to decide whether to standardize it's application to itself, or to each of the platforms it ran on. It also had to decide whether to make a major revamp of it's interface or not. That is not a minor decision. Personally, I think they waited too long. At one point, the only OS the client was produced for was Windows. (Today it is Windows, Linux, and OSX) The day they decided to have the client be Windows only, they should have revamped the UI and key bindings. They eventually gave in, but they took a big hit by waiting as long as they did.
4) It wasn't pretty. It look good now, but when it was first put on Windows, Lotus created a UI that matched the Windows 3.1 look of the day. By the time that Windows 95 came around, The graphics were horribly out of date. The functionality was top notch, but we know how much people like their shiny.
All of these are legitimate complaints, but not only are they outdated, they are the kinds of complaints that would apply to any of Notes/Domino's competitors. I use that in the present tense, because the back when the complaints were valid, Notes/Domino had no competitors.
No. My premise works like this: The universe can empirically be shown not to currently be in heat death. Since I don't believe in magic, I assume that there must be some scientific way in which the universe got into such a low state of entropy. You have it completely backwards. I say that the universe did NOT magically get into a low state of entropy due to magic. YOU are using ID tactics by claiming the universe got into a low entropy state, so it must have been by magic, but think that by not using the specific word "God", you think that makes it not religious.
Here is what we can show with easily collected empirical data. The second law of thermodynamics is as wrong as Newtonian physics. Meaning, it is good enough for pretty much everything we do, but breaks down under some circumstances. It is an appeal to magic to claim that it isn't when our very existence is empirical evidence that it is wrong.
That is fine and dandy if you only look at one end of the time arrow. Claiming that heat death of the universe is even likely going to happen because energy only moves towards entropy without explaining how it got into the non-heat death state is doing an awful lot of hand waving. It is basically declaring "MAGIC!".
I'm pretty sure that as far as human understand goes, the universe is a closed system. Even if you go with one of the multi-verse theories, you are just working with a redefinition of universe, so change it to the multi-verse being a closed system, and you are back at a perpetual motion machine.
Basically, you have two options to explain the fact that the universe exists at all. 1) It is a big perpetual motion machine. 2) Magic. Option 2 is a far extraordinary claim than option 1.
I am all for the scientific method. I love science, and all of the glorious things it gives us. I do not in anyway believe in the supernatural. One thing I find frustrating is that most people who claim to trust science, even professional scientists at the highest levels, go all religious and supernatural as soon as they hit a subject that is outside of their understanding.
How can you say that? They didn't divide the paper up between those that published the fake paper, and those that did not. They divided the groups between open access journals and... well... we won't talk about the other group. They then painted the open access journals that rejected Science's fake paper with the same brush that they painted the ones who accepted it.
Say that when a child Psychologist helps kidnap your child and then tells the judge that your child is suffering from "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" because they keep saying they want to go home. Judges and juries take them serious, and men with guns enforce the will of these judges and juries.

Good example.

You don't draw a line. You see it as shades of gray.
You mean the urban myth that has been discredited? Why would you base your actions on urban myths?

It was also ~$600 for they system and $100 to $300 per game while the 'non-premium' systems were $100 to $150 with games costing $20 to $50.
In the case of Steam, it is likely that the steam box will cost less than the XboxOne or the PS4, and the games are cheaper too.
Which is really annoying in that those photos are clearly a work for hire.
The specs are not code. They do not need to release any code to release open specs.
