In particular, humans have done the best in countries that have automated the most.
Which countries?
What is their tax rate?
How much socialism (aka social support) is mixed into their social structure?
The "cost of automation" has been declining for centuries, and humans have been doing better and better.
This is a bit of a red herring, in that for centuries, the declining cost of automation mostly served to free up huge amounts agricultural laborers to do other work.
The issue at hand is that now automation is taking over much of the "other work."
Since I don't know your specific situation, I could be completely misinterpreting what you mean. But it seems you have 0% "figure out the problem".
Yeah, you're off. Really, my solve rate was darn near 100%, but I hit the occasional spot where I was asking 'what the hell are they looking for me to produce?' - and the answer wasn't in the book.
I wasn't counting the problems where I already knew what to do, or could figure it out without outside assistance. That's practice, not learning. Of my learning, IE learning the symbols, the properties of various constants and such, the execution of various rules*, that was done as I said - mostly NOT using the book.
*Not enough time in the tests to re-derive them, had to memorize
Like I said, I could be completely misreading your situation, but from what you wrote, it sounds like if there isn't a template for how to solve every single problem type that you give up.
I'd hardly call what I did 'giving up'. I would work a problem until I not only had it solved, but I understood the solving method. It must of worked, seeing as how I pulled an A in a class where 90% of my grade was from closed book tests.
Did you have the same indignation about the similarly authoritarian and brutal but non-communist regime that was in place in Cuba before Castro?
You know, the one that was not only tolerated, but actively supported by US?
If they do win, it will set a nice precedent for the Gun control states to force the neighboring lax gun control laws to clean up their act.
It will also set a nice precedent for anti-abortion states to force the neighboring lax abortion laws states to "clean up their act".
And it will set a nice precedent for states that ban gay marriage to force the neighboring states that have gay marriage to "clean up their act".
Careful what you wish for. You might just get it.
Really? Apparently they quickly took control of almost every one one of Sony's servers and workstations.
Wired mentions (without giving a source) an interview with a self-proclaimed member of GoP who claims Sony's network was infiltrated for a year.
I'm not sure what you consider "quickly," but a year is a long time, even while rooting around in a corporate network as large as Sony's.
Can you self-publish and get any respect from college book departments? Professors might be fairly easy, but getting the okay from your department to use a non-certified publisher/reviewed book might be difficult. Can you sell enough in order to justify printing sufficient quantities such that printing costs alone don't swamp most of the price difference?
It's not easy. Especially if he was under contract with the publisher for it and they pulled some shenanigans in order to raise the price.
That being said, I'd love to pull in some charity minded professionals to write and deliberately open source sets of textbooks.
It's pissing me and the students off because they really do need to have a text.
How long is this going to be true with resources like Khan Academy, Purple math, and everything else out there?
I am currently pissed at my calculus text(Larson/Edwards 5thEd ETC). While I read the chapters, more than half the book is actually just problems to work out, and worse, the methods to solve said problems are often not in the text. So I'd place my actual learning at about 10% textbook(and I'm being generous), 30% lecture, 20% math tutoring/TA help, 40% internet.
When the teacher is assigning roughly 1/10th of the problems as homework in a manner that often resembles 'this looks good, I like this one', etc... It should be trivial for him to do up said problems on a handout. Well, I'd recommend he make the problems up himself, but you should get the point.
I'd be interested in knowing the details of the attack. Was it a "social engineering" attack of some kind (ie. a virus-laden email that someone with high privileges opened)? Was it a vulnerability in their networks? I've heard someone with high level admin privileges had their account hacked, but in what way was it done?
I can't find the story, but if i recall correctly, the short version is that the hackers probed Sony, couldn't get in, then started targeting affiliated companies until they found a remotely exploitable vulnerability.
Once they breached that company's network, they found cached(?) credentials for a top Sony sys admin account and used that to access the US Sony intranet.
They mapped the intranet, spread malware all over the place, exfiltrated ~100TB over the course of a ~year, then changed everyone's screensaver and went nuclear with the wiper attack.
By now, every NE or OK, cop has some nice, labeled Colorado bud to plant on anyone who gives them trouble.
If they're doing it regularly it's just asking for an eventual FBI sting and ensuing shitstorm.
Also, Colorado should (if they don't already) have laws preventing the export of marijuana to other states where it is illegal. Want to grow for distribution in Colorado? Fine. Want to grow in the safety of Colorado to go profiteer in Nebraska? Jail.
I'm not a lawyer, but I think that would actually be illegal under the constitution. The states aren't allowed to get into trade wars with each other with prohibitions, taxes, duties, and such.
Yes, I know in this case that Nebraska doesn't want the stuff, but it's free to pass a general prohibition, it's not allowed to ban only weed from Colorado. Colorado isn't allowed to ban weed to Nebraska.
Well.. I am not sure it means what he thinks it means.
he must mean that it is similar in that his profession has special wardrobe, and it is difficult to interact with your device or preferable not to with your hands.
anything else would be inconceivable.
I think the difference here is that marijuana is illegal under federal law. It is not a law the states created, and so they are complaining about the disproportionate burden placed on them.
There's a really simple solution here: Do basically what Colorado did, and tell the feds that if they want to prohibit weed they can do it themselves.
but in Washington the legal weed costs about twice as much as what you'd find from a traditional dealer,
Yeah, when I saw the measures I said they were setting the tax too high. Part of the problem is higher expenses due to the Fed's threatening the banks and such.
