I don't think they are going to respect the result of the elections if they are not favorable to the GOP. They act as people who de not expect to ever give power back or answer to the justice.

Yeah, the same.

That's a shakedown; The USA is a dictatorship ruled by a predatory mafia.

Good that i had no intention to buy anything intel anyway.

The article is about a Dutch chipmaker.

Woman at a rally: Governor, every thinking person will be voting for you.

Adlai Stevenson: Madam, that's not enough. I need a majority.

And mass manslaughter. This guy caused many deaths and permanent injuries. Including children.

He was punished by becoming a millionaire and porking Elle Mcpherson.

Nobody except the morons who voted for the orange one trust US institutions anyway. Health recommendations will be made at state level (I am in one of the dumb states) whenever possible. Foreign medical professionals will ignore the CDC.

We are a banana republic.

Nope.

But you need excellent individual control of your finger and toes.

That is correct, but you do not need to be very good at arithmetic to study serious math. Mathematicians are usually quite bad at it because they don't bother with it since a long time. They tell you: "I have done a degree in mathematics, not calculations". In science/applied science you need to train enough as not to be slowed down when you move on to the rest that uses arithmetic.

After all the article is about the proficiency of entering university students, after all.

Bu i agree, you learn by doing. A lot. It is still true in higher math, rational mechanics or quantum physics.

Where i come from (French -speaking Belgium) it was even worse already 20 years ago. Every moron and his dog had to decide how math is taught except actual mathematicians. So save a few "elite schools" our standards were very low.

Factor in political correctness ( A huge problem for the ghetto kids who happen to be serious and want a future: their educational standards are even more lowered than the ones of the other kids. In the name of antiracism. As if they had not enough problems already.) and a misunderstood egalitarianism. When the gov noticed the huge discrepancies in the academic level of high schools it paid inspectors to forbid teachers to grade on anything else than the minimalist official program so the teachers were afraid to do their jobs. And the good schools aligned with the bad ones.

So basically the math education is partially privatised by autodestruction of the public system.

Now, if you want a serious STEM education there you need to either have a STEM parent who will take your instruction out of the hands of the public system or be of very superior abilities.

Besides the concrete effect, do we care what judges say in these matters ? We are a banana republic run by a very incompetent mafia which intimidates or buys judges. It will take a long time to restore order and the rule of law. And the trust in the USA will never recover to it's pre-2025 levels. Never.

Ok, i'll trust you and read further. :)

Ok, read. I wish i had not. I hope the author is young and will become less pretentious with age. He presents this at the end of the article as THE solution for rural paupers of the third world the grid ignores, lumping Latin America in it. But he still claims it is "the infrastructure model" implying more. Which makes me suspect he believes in an old hippy mantra of decentralized infrastructure that is at least 50 years old. But it matters little.

But, reported by someone else more sober and mature, it is an interesting (and well known) development model for a more limited part of the world that he claims. Don't hope to export this model at this price in Burkina Faso because of the war and corruption there, for example.

I think if we want to read on this interesting topic we should not try to do it via slashdot.

Regards, :)

The slashdotter who posted this said in an inplicit way that the industrialised world would copy the electrical infrastructure of Africa. Then i lost interest and stopped reading.

It's funny but the Deux Chevaux was Citroen. :)
