But hacking on teachers, is probably the worst thing to do.
60h per week are illegal in Europe, illegal as in jail time for the boss. Especially if a worker has an accident to or from work. The boss is basically already in jail in such a case.
Less than 28 (depending of country) paid holiday are illegal, too.
You are not fixing your society by letting teachers work more in your eyes. In most eyes they are overworked, regardless how you see it.
That's not tracking spending, that's tracking how much money you have left. That is exactly what a laymen means with "tracking spending".
To people who don't use cash, tracking spending means knowing how much you spent on eating out, gas for the car, groceries, books, alcohol, etc. That is much easier to do with a credit or debit card than with cash. Obviously, but I know no one doing that. Do you?
For most people it is a kind of shock to realize it is the 25th, only $50 in the purse, and the ATM gives no money anymore: why? That is what "ordinary" people mean with tracking of spendings.
Um, no, they don't. Different banks have different rules for how much cash can be withdrawn, notice periods, etc etc. Actually with every bank I ever dealt with: *I* define how much money I can withdraw in a single transaction and/or over a course of a week/month.
I should be able to withdraw 100% of my money immediately, no matter the amount, or else it's not my money. Because that is nonsense. One steals your card, all your money is gone.
You are rich and want to withdraw 2,000,000 from an ATM, that is ridiculous...
China's total spend is less than the US total spend, despite having many more students. China spends less on education than the US. Only if you count it in dollars... which is pretty stupid:P
But since you do want to go there: The US spend more per child on education than any other country on the planet. I doubt that is true. Even if it is, why are there schools that have no working equipment, overworked teachers with oversized classes? Obviously the amount of money spent is no indication of quality of education.
Give the Chinese another 20 years of reform and a sensible education policy and they'll surpass the US on every level. China basically already has surpassed the US on every level. They only lack carriers. I don't agree with the argument that their education system is not good. But I have no deep insights. China sends many students to study in Europe. My town Karlsruhe is full with Chinese students. Yes full! You are in the queue for the cashier in a supermarket and you always see one or ore in your queue.
P.S. I don't really think you Americans fully understand just how asinine you sound to other people with your f**ing this, and f**ing that but there is a way you can find out. Try saying "Jesus' butt-plug" instead of 'fuck' for a few days. You will soon learn the virtues of not having a toilet for a mouth. I actually wanted to answer something like this to your parent but you beat me to it. I once said "shit" on teamspeak with lots of americans online, they freaked out. But their "fuck this" and "fuck that" they did not mind.
For good reason. It outperforms nearly every other tool in existence for the processing of large textual data sets (mostly on account of its first-class regex language constructs) And where e.g. in the banking industry would such a dartaset exist?
I don't know if I ever worked for a fortune 500, as i don't know who actually is considered one:P Your argument that you work(ed) for some and use Perl does not change the fact hat no one in my environment uses it.
No idea why you want to insult me/other people about that.
Good luck with your career... you might need it with your fucked upped attitude.
You can grep for \#/usr/bin/perl in/bin;/sbin;/usr/bin;/usr/sbin as well as I can. And why would I do that?
"find / -name "*.pl" | wc" is enough... idiot. Oh, you have so much Perl affinity that you know that moronic programmers hide perl scripts in mere text files... hi hi hi, as I said good luck.
What has looking out of the window to do with curvation of the earth or horizon?
The only thing you could argue is: the higher you are the farer you can look, hence behind the horizon on a low altitude is "something" and that behind you can see now, hence you could meditate and conclude: the earth is a sphere.
However, regardless of height, in an airplane you see no "curve" of the earth. The horizon is _flat_... you need to do as one of the other answers suggested: examine a picture and see that at the left and right edge the horizon is a pixel or two lower.
So, again: no, you don't see any earth curvation in an air plane... I fly often enough to witness that.
The iPod UI was horrible, it relied on already knowing how to use it. It included several completely unlabelled controls, and no indication of how to use them. Yes, you said in another post apple products where never intuitive. However you must be somehow handicapt in that area. Most things were super intuitive, e.g. the iPod we talk about. How youcan not grasp how it works by simply looking at it 2 seconds is beyond me. However I agree that e.g. Numbers and Pages are a nightmare to use.
They've been successful because they're great at convincing people to buy inferior products for more money, not because they make the best product.
Sorry, in your Apple hate you are simply an idiot. Why don't you read a bit about Apples history?
E.g. printing, colour management, having MacOS and a Unix like environment (MPW) and A/Ux (the Apple unix) in parallel on the same machine. Multiple monitors, with different colour depths, and resolutions and DPI. MacApp the first "PC" object oriented framework, C++ as standard development language, besides Pascal.
Especially in the software area Apple did many many things. Many failed though, like Bedrock and OpenDoc.
Regarding your cheaper and more features rant: no there is no cheaper laptop with more features than a MacBook Pro... or do you really think I bought the MacBook Pro to run Linux on it natively? I buy Macs to use the superb Mac software, e.g. the Mail.app...
I never understood why the swipe motion to switch apps goes into the wrong direction. Even after 10 years of iPad using I always swipe in the wrong direction first.
He probably has no idea how few money 40million actually are (his proposal).
Assuming a router or repeater costs $20 and a work hour $20 too, and making the optimistic assumption a worker sets up 4 routers per hour, then we have about $100 costs per hour (including the routers). So 40,000,000 / 100 is 40,000 work hours and 160,000 routers which covers a square of 400 x 400 routers. With about 100m distance from router to router that would be a 40km square, something like 25miles x 25miles.
If a worker is really that quick (and that cheap) it actually could work out:P but a high end/high quality router is most likely more expensive, and the grid/mesh is probably much smaller than 100m.
To date, 440 workers have died installing solar panels. [forbes.com] 150 have died installing wind turbines on windmills. He is not wrong. You are wrong. They died from falling down somewhere.
Who the fuck cares what they did up there? Except you of course? Morons who are to stupid t wear safety gear and you blame the "power they install" for it? How retarded are you?

Obviously. As an ATM has not such money stored. Thanks for pointing that out.
Um, no, they don't. Different banks have different rules for how much cash can be withdrawn, notice periods, etc etc.
Actually with every bank I ever dealt with: *I* define how much money I can withdraw in a single transaction and/or over a course of a week/month.

ATMs hold much more than that.
And in our days the money is stored in the basement and the ATM is just a machine at the street.
How on earth it is easier to track spending with cash? ... are you really that stupid?
By watching how your cash in your wallet is dwindling
The Visa/MasterCard "Tax" is something like 30cents ... your post makes no sense.

Buying a $5k cappuccino machine is not a wise expense.
So you would rather buy every 2 years one for $500?
Your interesting calculation of teachers pay clearly shows: they are under paid. No idea why you disagree.
6h teaching per day is still an +8h day, or do you think they do classes "unprepared", never correct tests etc.?
For good reason. It outperforms nearly every other tool in existence for the processing of large textual data sets (mostly on account of its first-class regex language constructs)
And where e.g. in the banking industry would such a dartaset exist?

Python never "went viral".
Yes it did. You are probably to young to know what "usenet/news" is.
Python wasn't even a standardized install on any of the common enterprise Linuxes until the 2000s.
Python went viral around 1991 ... my first linux distro was slackware 0.8x ... mid 1993.
No idea if it had Python ... I programmed exclusively in C++ that time ...
What actually is your point? That you have no clue about anything? We noticed, no need to further embarrass yourself.
My last 20 years as a programmer were 90% clean up work ...
Hae?

Perhaps you simply should read how solar panels are made instead of spreading your FUD?
All byproducts, stay in the factory ...
So: no there are no byproducts to be disposed off. Solar panels are made from silicon dioxyde. Then doted with those "byproducts".

Since when does a union boss gets payment when a company conducts a project?
So what's the long term plan to store the heavy metals and the byproducts from solar panel production?
Those byproducts don't exist, moron.
To date, 440 workers have died installing solar panels. [forbes.com] 150 have died installing wind turbines on windmills.
He is not wrong. You are wrong.
They died from falling down somewhere.
Who the fuck cares what they did up there? Except you of course? Morons who are to stupid t wear safety gear and you blame the "power they install" for it? How retarded are you?
