If it is limited to Senate rules changes then it's irrelevant. The Senate rules are, after all, the rules. For example:

Majority wishes to pass a bill that the minority doesn't agree with. Majority wants to change the rules on that vote to get it passed despite minority.

Minority says they can't because the Senate rules forbid it.

Majority changes rules from forbidding it to allowing it.

Granted, that's a simplistic way of looking at it. It would seem to me that rule changes should have higher requirements than simple majority because then the majority can change the rules whenever they wish.

The number one thing you should work on as a chess novice (and a chess intermediate!) is tactics. chesstempo.com is the best place on the web to practice tactics: it serves you tactics problems from a database of over 100,000 problems harvested from actual games, and keeps track of both your ability and the difficulty of the problems so that it can give you problems appropriate to your level.

There are other tactics servers on the web (chess.com, chess.emrald.net), but Chess Tempo is easily the best.

What does "SageMath uses IPython a bit under the hood" ????

To Quote Sage's home page: "Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common Python-based interface."

Sage is based on Python and so it is not a bit it is the whole thing.

> You don't need source to audit the results.

In fact, you do. Modern computer mathematical results require full exposure, nothing can be left to the imagination. This is true and understandable.

Going back to the first important computer mathematical result (the solution to the four-color map conjecture¹ in 1976), to be taken seriously, computer math results have been required to be fully transparent.

Imagine auditing a cancer cure without knowing anything about the methods or tools. Same idea.

No one goes into a political office because they want the salary. Any one who can get there is usually already rich enough that the salary doesn't make much difference. If you consider the amount of money they spend campaigning, they effectively end up paying to have the job. They take the job because of the power that comes with the job, not because of the salary.

There is no one size fits all solution...for me personally, I require a mix of social and private time to maximize my productivity. Working from home half the time, and working in the other half tends to be best...For those who want to talk/meet, knowing I'm only there at certain makes them more likely to think twice about prioritizing meeting time. Also, the quiet of home and lack of distractions (no giggling coworkers or visitors to the office) leads to the best writing/thinking.

You just have to know how you work best, and hope your company can support it. If you're a startup, be flexible about optimizing workers' time...

Life tenure is all we're talking about here. It's all that exists in federal courts of general jurisdiction. Every federal district, circuit, and supreme court judge appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate is life tenure.

Magistrates, who operate only on the district court level (not in the appellate courts or supreme court), are not Article III judges. They're appointed by the actual Article III judges without input from the President or Senate, and they can handle cases only by the consent of both parties, and their rulings are appealable to an actual Article III district court judge.

Are you talking about Zurb's grid system[0] specifically, or referring to Zurb/Bootstrap as "grid systems"?

If it's the latter, a simple Google search for "how to use Bootstrap" turns up a lot of resources, including this one[1], which looks good. You might be able to find Foundation-specific ones, but Bootstrap seems to have the edge in popularity.

I love the amount of investigation people put into this sort of thing before making blanket statements like this.

x *cos(x) + 2*x*sin(x)

>>> integrate ( sin ( x ) , ( x , 0 , c ) )
-cos(c) + 1

>>> solve ( [ Eq ( x + 23 * y + x**2 , 46 ) , Eq ( x - y , 234 ) ] )

Is there any downside to an approach like this? Setting your own terms and then selling equity if you find people interested?
One of the very few enumerated power in the Constitution is that the Senate and House get to make their rules however they see fit.

It's common for these to be passed unanimously.

"Concentrations of Risk: Mozilla entered into a contract with a search engine provider for royalties which expires November 2014. The previous contract term expired in November 2011. Approximately 90% and 85% of royalty revenue for 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from this contract. The receivable from this search engine provider represented 69% and 77% of the December 31, 2012 and 2011 outstanding receivables, respectively."
Versus Maple, there's really no contest in my opinion, but that's mostly related to the rather poor quality of Maple. I remember even five years ago, when Sage was considerably less mature, Sage was able to outperform Maple on first-year calculus problems (i.e., there were symbolic integrations that Maple choked on but Sage did perfectly). Sage is not only better than Maple at symbolics, but also at numerics, and the gap only widens as the mathematics level increases.

As an amusing anecdote, I had to use Maple for a course once, and compared the speed of a simple algorithm to find the order of an element of Z/nZ (by taking x, and adding it to itself in a loop until you get to 0). The Maple code ran approximately 100x slower than the Sage code, even though the Maple code used machine integers but Sage uses bigints by default.

With Mathematica, the general impression that I get is that for making interactive graphics, Mathematica is slightly better, but otherwise they're mostly approximately even for the first-year case, with a slight edge to Mathematica. Sage's friendly user interface is a web-based notebook, whereas Mathematica has a native application, but it's pretty good. Sage has very good documentation for common use-cases, but I haven't used the Sage notebook in a while, so I can't really say how discoverable it is.

There are some resources on using Sage in an undergrad curriculum here, if you're interested:

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/prep/index.html

though the examples presume you're actually running a Sage notebook, so they don't show what happens, for instance, when you add an @interact decorator to make an interactive thing, like so:

http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/

which has a nice example of an interactive Taylor-series approximation.
That definitely seems tough. Maybe shortening the project time to a couple days (over a weekend?) or a few weeknights would help. From the hiring side at least, the time investment would seem worthwhile, considering you're evaluating a potential team member.

I cannot stand the selfish arrogant thoughtless behavior shown by the few that destroy the productivity of an open office. Your constant sniffing and playing drums with your fingers is not respectful or mindful of others trying to work.

Has anyone thought about doing a study on the effects of people wearing headphones all day to drown out these distractions? I mean ear infections and hearing loss must surely be long term side effects.

Wow, that was fast !

I love Foundation, but I had to switch to Boostrap because I found it... ugly. And Bootstrap is great to quickly create "pretty" prototypes. But I've always found Foundation having better... foundations. I've used both on numerous projects and here's my take :

* The grid system now looks like bootstrap, and I don't like that. You have to choose the type of column you want to use (and I don't want to be bothered by that). so no .six anymore, it's .medium-6 or .large-6 or .small-6... They should call the .small-6 just .six so we know its the default one.

* It does look a bit better, although they removed styling of the radiobox in forms? Why?

* Overall I still prefer bootstrap's theme, I wish Foundation would offer an optional theme like bootstrap 3 does.

* OffCanvas menu is great ! I can already see plenty of applications (but for mobile only)

* The CLI is a nice thing to have but I'm gonna stay away from it. I like the easiness of copypasting files to quickly begin a small project.

* Documentation is hard to go through, doesn't allow to glance at what it offers. It's a huge improvement from F4 or F3 though.

* I use sublime text snippets all the time and this might be a huge addition!

* I like the JS that verifies forms. I usually always use this on my projects so it's nice to have it by default.

Overall I don't really know if I should switch back to Foundation. But I'll definitely use it for my next project to see how good it is.

Certainly. Wolfram was once a near-monopoly in computer-aided mathematics, but their exalted position is fast eroding, diminished by free alternatives like Sage¹.

Wolfram's response has been to package their product in increasingly ingenious ways, as with Wolfram Alpha², which has been quite successful. But in the long term, these methods will fail, because for mathematics to be both valid and understood, it must be transparent.

Given Sen Reid's defense of the filibuster and opposition to a rules change in 2005, we basically see that this isn't for the good of the country, it is basic, bad politics.

The Senate is not supposed to be efficient and the minority party needs to have a say. It is that simple. People pointing out the good old days, don't actually remember them.

I've tried to use Foundation before and it's responsive grid was ghastly. This was the first time I tried anything responsive mind you. So I jumped towards Bootstrap 3 and it's grid was phenomal to use.

I think you're missing the point about why the Wolfram Language is going to be useful on a PI. I don't think the majority case will be mathematics. See here for some ideas:

http://blog.wolfram.com/2013/11/21/putting-the-wolfram-langu...

And re free tools: I doubt very much that Sage has any mechanism for flashing LEDs through the GPIO pins of the Pi, or doing image processing on a RaspiCam, or balancing an inverted pendulum using control theory, or modelling and controlling a sous vide cooker.

For the tinkerer, getting an embedded device to do something cool isn't going to lead to bankruptcy in older age.
This is cool. I built something similar to this in Node. You start the tool and it monitors all files in your project folder for changes. Every time you save, it outputs a JSON object of all your tokened comments. The idea was to be able to plug it into another service, like a custom todo list app, or something like this. I haven't quite finished it, but maybe I'll clean it up a bit and push it to github this weekend.

I say it's not what people expect because everyone emphasizes the "fixed length" rather than "blank padded" nature of CHAR. CHAR is only actually a fixed length if you actually ensure that it is so yourself. That's possible but then you're just using a CHAR as a placeholder for those semantics not as something that naturally enforces them.

If you actually really really have fixed length fields then yes CHARs could be appropriate. But for many things even though you intend for them to be static length codes things change when you start having to interoperate with systems designed with different constraints. (For example after mergers or aquiring a competitor.) And I know that mainframes still exist but they aren't the use case in mind when many say "USE CHAR".

Also the database adapter that handles CHAR poorly is none other than JDBC on oracle http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5332845/oracle-jdbc-and-o...

The downside is, you still have to deal with investors and all that comes with them. Dealing with a lot of small investors is often a much bigger headache than dealing with one or two large investors.

Taking on ... 300 small investors is a nightmare. They require far more work on average per dollar invested than larger investors do.
