You are already paying the interest, the only difference is you will get a smaller refund or owe a little more tax.
If you need that to make your mortgage you bought more house than you can really afford.
That doesn't make any sense. Most people don't have an unlimited budget. What you've said is, "If you pay X, but can't afford X+Y, then you shouldn't have committed to paying X."
Your hatred for Microsoft doesn't mean that the object of your hatred conforms to your views. First you set up a straw-man argument, assuming that what Microsoft is doing is exactly what your own dysfunctional company is doing. Then you basically say that Microsoft is doomed because your own situation is terrible. That's simply a fallacy.
I don't see where the post you replied to even mentions Microsoft. You come off as awfully angry and defensive for someone who works in such a healthy and productive environment.
"An anonymous reader writes with a question that makes a good follow-on to the claim that mathematics requirements in U.S. schools unnecessarily limit students' educational choices"
That is a bit of a miss-representation of the previous discussion. The question before was about Algebra. Specifically many non-technical people rarely or never use Algebra in the real world. Forcing them to learn multiple years of Algebra is a waste for them.
A simple intro would be enough and then those who are interested and going into fields where it is needed, such as programming, engineering, biology, chemistry, statistics, etc, can then go deeper into the math.
How many people use the history they covered on school on a daily basis? How many people use the basic science or language or any of the other topics covered in school?
This argument is basically saying there should be no (or extremely low, even lower than current) standards. The requirements now are a "simple intro."
Your average American is going to spend the majority of their time on 2 things: sleeping and staring at some sort of screen (television, computer, tablet, phone). By this logic, those should be the two areas stressed most in schools.
I thought the original article was a troll. Math is hard, and causes kids who are otherwise good students to drop/fail out, therefor math requirements should be lowered.
You could also say memorizing names and dates is hard, and causes kids who are otherwise good students to drop/fail out, therefor history requirements should be lowered.
Grammar and spelling are hard (and unnecessary anyway since MS Word will do it for me!), and causes kids who are otherwise good students to drop/fail out, therefor language requirements should be lowered.
Basically, the originally argument is "no one is great at everything, so therefor nothing should be required and grade school should have no minimum standards." It is a position I completely reject.
The very premise is bunk--math is not that hard. If you are dropping out or failing to graduate high school in the USA because of math, then you aren't that smart and weren't a good student to begin with. As a math/science geek, this was never an issue for me. But I can relate, because my language ability lagged behind my peers, particularly when it came to learning a second language. I know what it is struggle in one particular area.
So is that why I dropped out of school? Actually, no. I somehow managed to pass two years of Italian in high school (not required for graduation, but I felt I had no choice as a second language is expected on college applications.) Oh, and I also passed a year of Russian and a year of German in college. Some of the toughest courses I took. It was more of an effort for me to do two semesters of Russian over a summer than all the extra math courses I took in my spare time that eventually added up to a second major.
So F you, boo hoo, math is hard. Yeah, if you're stupid and lazy.
But that's not what I'm hear to say.
What I want to say is, it's not just math, but which math. Our USA system is geared towards getting every one to calculus. Calculus is fun and all (no really, it's fun!), but not a relevant goal for everyone. I think this particularly applies to computer scientists and programmers.
Most folks would be better off on discrete maths, such as abstract algebra, linear algebra, group theory, probably, etc. (Probability can include calculus (particularly when infinite series get involved) but there's a lot you can do with just high school algebra.)
So to the OP here, I'd say, yes, math will do you good, it just might not be calculus.
To the folks who can't even get over high school algebra, well, yes, I would like fries with that.
Honestly, you must not travel much, or not very light, or - you've never tried travelling with an e-reader.
Books take up huge amounts of space, space that most travellers have optimised with tiny tents, compact stoves and minimized clothing.
They're heavy, they're akward, and when you're finished with them, you're stuck with them.
The kindle (and its ilk) - are tiny, non-flashy looking, slip into any pocket, have months of battery life, can be pulled out at a moment's notice, and can even act as a web surfing / email checking device when you need.
I travel extensively, and the kindle is a must-have device.
Huge amounts of space? Heavy and awkward? We're not talking about a student with a pile of text books to be lugged from class to class.
We're talking about a couple trade paper backs to fill the occasional down/waiting time.
My wife's kindle (not the latest generation) has an approximate volume of a single paper back and the weight of 2 or 3. So yes, 2 or 3 slim paperbacks will probably be more space and weight than your e-reader, but they also don't require cables or chargers. Yes, I know the kindle has a long battery life (a month I've seen; "months" of use is a bit of exaggeration), but do you really travel without a way to charge?
As for "when you're finished with them, you're stuck with them," I think you have it backwards, unless your kindle is disposable. The e-reader you're probably going to want to being home with you. The paper backs, you can recycle when your done--either use the paper for a fire or some other use, or pass the book along whole. Also, the kindle is all or nothing--it doesn't get lighter or smaller if you delete books after reading. You can reduce your load of a few small paper backs if you release each book as you read.
I agree a reader such as the kindle is much more travel friendly than a tablet or laptop, but don't exaggerate the utility of a few light paper backs. I'm not suggesting you take your signed first edition in to the jungle, but why not hit a used book store for a few slim paperbacks?
The VP's two jobs don't happen very often but when they occur it's pretty important. I wish there was more of a primary selection process for VP rather than the candidate's behind the scenes political machinations as recommended by their overpaid consultants. If the president is incapacitated then we get the VP, like it or not, who did not have to go through the primary process and be selected by the party members as the president was.
We should go back to the old system of the person who comes in second at the election becomes VP. That would certainly open the field for more serious 3rd party candidates--you don't need to win to be relevant, just finish second. And if the P can't complete the term, who do you want to fill in? The person who was the choice of the second most people in the country? (Generally, not always, due to the electoral college.) Or some nobody very few people ever heard of until his/her home state became a swing state?
It's good enough for Miss America, it's good enough for president.
The numbers are even worse for the Republicans (347-191) accoring to Tannenbaum's "Rasmussen fee" page. Here he filters out Fox's polling company which has questionable polling practices. This polling group has consistently polled in favor of Republicans. From electoral-vote.com: "Silver analyzed 105 polls released by Rasmussen Reports and its subsidiary, Pulse Opinion Research, for Senate and gubernatorial races in numerous states across the country. The bottom line is that on average, Rasmussen's polls were off by 5.8% with a bias of 3.9% in favor of the Republican candidates."
Given that the companies making the polling machines are controlled by Republicans, and most polls have proven to be unreliable since the advent of digital, no-manual-recount polling machines (coincidence, I'm sure), I'll not be surprised if those "questionable polling practices" turn out to more accurately predict the election outcome.
Back in the 1990s I worked as a software developer at a company that monitored a large amount of data in real time. Not stock market data or particle accelerator data, but telephone switching data (SS7). They began selling the hardware/software package in the late 1980s.
If this amount of data can be monitored and displayed in real time using 1980s technology, why can't the SEC do it now for stock market data?
For the same reason every ATM and card reader at the gas pump has a printer, but there's no way for a digital voting machine to give you a hard copy record of your vote.
For the folks wondering what 70% transparent windows look like, I think the small glass pictured in that article is 65% transparent. Certainly good enough for ambient lighting in an office.
Google+ is a one way thing. You put a person in your circles. Then, if they post to public, you get their content in your feed. (Google+ also has the concept of private posts where you can post just to your circles instead of public). However, just circling someone gets you their public content. So Google+ is a great place to get content from content producers, interesting people, etc.
As opposed to following someone's blog, watching their twitter feed, subscribing to their podcast, etc.
Ya know what? I have my own life. There are only so many hours in the day I can spend on what other people are doing.
I'm skeptical. I've tried to use Google + a couple times, but quite frankly, I can't figure out what it does or how I use it.
Most of the problem is I can't tell which communications are from real people and which are spam from Google. Someone wants to connect with me...is that the G+ equivalent of an fb friend request? Or is it just because I have someone with a gmail address in my address book? And if I (attempt) connect with someone, is it someone who is using G+? Or just someone with a gmail account?
I tried to connect with a few people (real friends I know in meat space) and there was no one on the other end. It seems like Google just created G+ accounts for everyone with a gmail address and then spammed me with messages to connect with everyone in my address with a gmail address.
Maybe it isn't a ghost town, but it's a ghost metropolis built around a very small settlement.
We've managed to hit the triumvirate of slow, expensive, and shoddy not through lax oversight of my work (though I am a programmer) but through out sourcing and off shoring.
Management decided to send almost all technical work outside which, even if the individual programmers make less, costs more overall due to the redundant layers of managements between us and the consulting company.
This also assures all projects run longer than needed because, while we use off the shelf software, we customize the heck of it and use it for off-label purposes so even with programers who are familiar with the software, project estimates are 3 to 4 times longer than similar projects done in house before they laid off most of our programmers.
The results are crap for many reasons. One is while we do have big names in software--Oracle, SAP, Microsoft--we also rely on many less known, niche products, and no one thought to take that in to account when selecting our off shore "partner." So instead of someone in house who knows the software and our configuration making changes, updates are done by someone half a world away who has never heard of the software and has no history with our system. Oh, and we're so far behind the niche vendor's upgrade cycle that there is no available training for the versions we run.
But the main reason we run slow, expensive, and shoddy is our IS projects are run by MBAs with no software or development experience. I survived the lay offs to be the technical expert to keep an eye on the consultants and contractors, but as I've tried to make clear, if they don't include me in requirements gathering with the users, and I'm not in on the design or construction, and they don't include me in the test cycle, then I don't know what it's supposed to do, how it's supposed to do it, or how well it performs, so I'm not much of an expert.
No, I am not paid well. Yes, my resume is in order and I am looking.
The bright side of lay-offs is, no matter what management thinks of me, everyone I've worked with as a peer or in my user community thinks I'm a superstar, and now I have this network of people who now work at all the major employers in the area, so there's no shortage of interest.
The one questions I wanted addressed was not included. What will be the sex make-up of the crew?
It seems to me that a mission of this type which is meant to be permanent must by necessity focus on the production of those things which are necessary for survival on Mars. This means that your colonists, and they should be called colonists, will need to focus on the production of air, water, food, living space, and manufactured goods, in that order.
No. 4 people are not "colonists." That is, I would not consider 4 people to be a colony--unless you have plans to add to those first four. 4 dudes is not a permanent settlement.
Now if those 4 people get in the business of making more people, those are colonists. So your list is short, of one item at least. "[The colonists] will need to focus on the production of air, water, food, living space, babies, and manufactured goods, in that order."
In collaboration with the inspection team, Ms.Simone identified a trend in customer complaints that the firm had not been aware of. This trend involved incorrect or missing patient results in a laboratory information system, and incorrect or missing notifications to clinicians that test results were out of range.
Basically, problems with LIMS or other systems. It's not that the device released the incorrect dose, it's that the record keeping system had an incorrect dose history or test result, causing a doctor or nurse to administer an incorrect dose.
I agree that the WinRT tablet doesn't hold a candle to the iPad aesthetically or functionally after all, you can easily pick from dozens of iPad keyboard cases if that's your bag.
I was wondering what I was missing in this story. I read and hear this talk about an MS competitor for the iPad, but every picture I see shows something with a keyboard, similar to an iPad with a keyboard case. In that respect, this "tablet" seems guaranteed to fail.
Going by the completely unscientific method of iPad owners I know, less than 50% own an external keyboard for it, and usage time with that keyboard runs about 10% of total time using the tablet.
If MS is marketing this thing with a keyboard (every picture I've seen has had a keyboard in the picture) then they're not really going after the iPad market. In that case, this is another small notebook/netbook.
It's kinda like if MS came out with a smart phone with a 6" screen. It's not a competitor with the iPhone because people want a phone they can put in their pocket, but it's not really enough to seriously dent the iPad market.
The MS Surface won't compete with the iPad and won't have a major impact on the netbook market.

Let me know when I can print out a Lucy Liu bot.
You can put people in your circles that are just email contacts. They'll get invited of course, but you can happily post things to them.
That's part of the problem. If I use G+ and my friend uses G+, let's connect. But if I use G+, and my friend doesn't, I want to be able to tell.
By "they'll get invited" I read "they'll get spammed." I don't like spamming my friends.
Since I couldn't tell through the site who used G+ and who just happened to have some other Google account, I gave up on adding to my circles.

Yep. Fast. Cheap. Good.
Pick two.
I've heard that many times before, and I have to disagree.
Where I work, we didn't pick two.
Our projects take twice as long as they should, cost three times as much as they should, and quality in the crapper.
