finding a task difficult is the programming equivalent of going to sleep at the wheel.
Say what?
Finding a task difficult is a chance to learn something new. Finding a task difficult is a chance to flex your mental muscles.
Chicago Public School teachers are paid between $50-97K, based on education and time in job, plus pension and healthcare benefits.
Yep. Teachers in general are not underpaid. But there's a taboo against saying so.
Just wondering
We are spending a river now. Where is it going?
How can a Marimba (which from a look at Google is similar to a Xylophone) cost so much money?
They are very large, professionally made musical instruments.
Check out the prices for other major musical instruments
The marimba is good
And then there's
$400,000 for recruiting girls to learn to code
Because doubling the workforce without doubling the jobs has worked out so great for every other sector of the economy since 1970 or so when it took off.
When I have children, I will do everything in my power to keep them out of school as much as possible. They will learn far more by just idly dicking around at a library.
Because that's what most kids without any structure are doing
Come on man
A few kids would try to live out The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. The rest would just burn down the museum.
All right, I give up...who DOES declare the escolating ebola outbreak an international emergency?
One of the things most people see as a bug but I see as a feature with China is their ability to just do things. There's no debate, no fighting with Congress, etc...they can just tell millions of people to move out of the way of an infrastructure project (e.g. Three Gorges Dam.) That's going to be a huge advantage they have over the West during this century. Another big shift that China is basically just making happen by fiat is the forced urbanization of the country...moving peasant farmers off their land and into cities (which is what those "Ghost Cities" are supposed to be for.) Just look at the fights that happen when someone's land is claimed by eminent domain for a construction project in the US...none of that happens there, and anyone who complains is marginalized.
That's awesome! Can they quarter soldiers in private homes in peacetime too!?! So cool!
I will continue to call the phrase "Internet of Things" stupid, for as long as you continue to hype it.
The battle of pointless endurance is mine!
And surely these evil scum will get what they deserve when they and all their loved ones are killed in a justifiable drone-strike!
Seriously, this is what a police-state looks like, there is no way to deny it anymore.
A police state run for more than half a decade by Barack Obama. Right?
For some reason, there's a taboo about connecting that dot.
Driving yourself around is dead. It's inefficient. Ridesharing is "libertarian" because it is truly freeing.
That's great, for your situation.
Getting my four kids where they need to go, day in and day out, bringing home huge loads of groceries (and smaller ones in between), etc., however, just isn't served well by anything other than having and using my own vehicle.
It's not the ripping software, it's the digital recording function, i.e. the ability to write to disk.
Here's what the court said in the RIAA v Diamond Multimedia case: (internal citations removed)
Unlike digital audio tape machines, for example, whose primary purpose is to make digital audio copied recordings, the primary purpose of a computer is to run various programs and to record the data necessary to run those programs and perform various tasks. The legislative history is consistent with this interpretation of the Act's provisions, stating that "the typical personal computer would not fall within the definition of 'digital audio recording device,'" because a personal computer's "recording function is designed and marketed primarily for the recording of data and computer programs." Another portion of the Senate Report states that "[i]f the 'primary purpose' of the recording function is to make objects other than digital audio copied recordings, then the machine or device is not a 'digital audio recording device,' even if the machine or device is technically capable of making such recordings."
So it really depends on what else the car's ability to write to disk is both primarily used for, and what it is primarily marketed for. The latter is probably worse for them; even if the car happens to be writing map or diagnostic information to disk, probably ripping CDs is what is mainly being advertised.
