This guy really hates Penrose:

"...Penrose and others have spec-
ulated that gravity is crucial for a proper understanding
of quantum mechanics even on small scales relevant to
brains and laboratory experiments, and that it causes
non-unitary wavefunction collapse [35]. Yet the Occam’s
razor approach is clearly the commonly held view that
neither relativistic, gravitational nor non-unitary eﬀects
are central to understanding consciousness or how con-
scious observers perceive their immediate surroundings:
astronauts appear to still perceive themselves in a semi-
classical 3D space even when they are eﬀectively in a zero-
gravity environment..." Ugh. That is really lame.

People still cite his 1999 article [1] on how the brain can't be quantum, as if that was the end of the discussion. Meh.

Anyway, now he seems to be saying the opposite of this, while cleverly avoiding contradicting (or even citing) this earlier work.

During my mandatory army service (Bulgaria) I was given AK-47. I had to be responsible for the gun for the whole 1997, but shot only few times, since the country was going through hard period, and we were not allowed much ammo. Also had to make sure that I shoot on manual, or was it semi-automatic. From what I remember I had to get used to my weapon, as each one was uniquely biased, so you had to understand yourself how it shoots. Had to clean it every day at 2:00pm, and had to cover disassembling and assembling it for some relatively short time (actual times escape me, but was somewhere in the dozen of seconds to a minute).

Losing the gun was punishable by 7 years military prison (or at least that's what they've told us). Also while guarding and if someone was approaching you should first fire an alert bullet (if that's the right name) up in the air, and then shoot at place (if the object keeps moving).

I did not even cared about it. Later I was supposed to be with RPG-9, but since the major and the captain of the brigade discovered my typing and computer skills I was put in an "ad-hoc" position - sleeping in the same room with all drivers, cooks, etc, while just doing computer stuff and delivering the mail from the city (along with starting the wood stove, and some cleaning).

IKEA Volmar [1] with arms and headrest. Very comfy and I've even nodded off in it after an all night debug session. It's also good value for money.

This is my second IKEA chair in the GBP170 to GBP220 price range - I don't remember the name of the previous one which I purchased in 2002 and continued to use until late 2011. The old one has been relegated to "guest worker" chair after a refurb of new wheels. The seat padding could do with replacing/recovering but it's good enough for 2-3 hour sessions.

I work from home full time so my desk chair gets used in anger for at least 8-10 hours a day six/seven days a week, also I'm a fairly large 6' bloke so they do take a pounding. I've had the Volmar for two and a bit years now and so far it still feels like new.

I'd love to try a Hermann Miller Aeron or a Humanscale, but there isn't a stockist nearby where I can go and try one before committing that amount of money.

One question (from above in the mass of licensing argument) according to Wikipedia the EPL is incompatible with the GPL:

The EPL 1.0 is not compatible with the GPL, and a work created by combining a work licensed under the GPL with a work licensed under the EPL cannot be lawfully distributed.

ClojureScript itself is EPL, how does this work?
> If your son (or anyone) understands variables, assignment and adding them together, they fundamentally understand Algebra.

A more important part of algebra is symbol manipulation, and understanding why some manipulations are valid and others are invalid. That symbol manipulation is the core of grade-school (or trivial) algebra. Being able to 'see' how to solve a problem, and being able to abstract general rules to solve whole classes of problems, all flow from that.

Of course, there's a disconnect between using '=' to denote a state of being (the state of equality) and using '=' to denote an action (the action of assignment). As an example, 'x = x + 1' is either trivially nonsense or trivially valid. Haskell actually uses '=' in the mathematical sense, to denote a state of being, and SSA languages such as Erlang come pretty close to it, I think.
Amazing movie? I'll call it pretty solid. Interesting questions? No...

While that might technically be true on some level, ask yourself if the average student would do well if they started with Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis in 11th or 12th grade having taken absolutely no calculus prior to it.

There's a reason most universities require students to have completed the entire calculus sequence and often even a special "introduction to proofs" class before exposing them to a book like Rudin's.

Math doesn't come in levels. It only seems linear because it's taught that way. You can teach kids group theory before calculus without a hitch.
Bitcoin has cash-like properties and it is also digital (allowing fast transactions at a distance), making it more powerful than cash. I've come to see Bitcoin not as a neutral entity but as a force multiplier for criminals, scammers, and sociopaths.

>Sure, but we have a economy that's extremely reliant on consumer spending, in fact it's about 70% of GDP these days

What a meaningless statement in this context. "Consumer spending" refers to private sector spending. This is as opposed to, for example, Government spending, which might also fluctuate with changes in monetary policy. What percentage of the GDP is estimated to come from consumer spending has little bearing on the effect changes in inflation rate might have on the economy. You are trying to oversimplify a vastly complex system.

If what you are implying (that there is a causal positive relationship between inflation and production) were true, it would be economically advantageous to adopt zimbabwe-style inflation.

>...would be devastating to the national economy

Please actually read the article you linked.

"Speculative lending practices in western states, a sharp decline in cotton prices, a collapsing land bubble, international specie flows, and restrictive lending policies in Great Britain were all to blame."

Deflation was a result of this panic, not the cause of it.
At that level, I'd say literature is more important and more of an analogue than mathematics. If your programming can tell a good story and the user can interact to move the story line along - you're golden. But math can be very important/helpful and if he can comprehend Algebra, then he's got it 98% covered - at that level. End of the day, the more he knows the better off he'll be...

Just an opinion.
An ordinary popular vote for laws I don't like because I don't have time to research everything to the depth I would need to. Something like liquid democracy suffers much less from that, of course. I've recently been taken with the idea (though I am not at all convinced it would actually be a good idea) of drawing panels at random - like jury selection - to decide individual issues, but giving them time and pay to inform themselves and deliberate. Just expecting people to come to well informed decisions on their own time doesn't turn out great.
Are you talking about a grandfathered data plan?

On an account just activated in December, I have these options available to me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0i7witxcmu9qlh1/Screen%20Shot%2020...

None of the ones labelled "unlimited" look like "5GB cap", they look like unlimited on the phone + limited amount of tethered usage. It would seem to make very little sense to offer 5GB + 2.5GB for the same price as a combined total 4.5GB.
They don't have to run that deal forever, of course. It could be a shorter term play for traction vs. the big(ger) guys.

And I still remember seeing The Legend of Zelda for the NES in a commercial on TV. It was the first game in which I felt I could explore in any direction, and I loved being a sword-swinging hero in a fantasy land! These days I don't really play video games, but I'm still hoping Miyamoto has more surprises in store for us.
It would depend on what you're programming, IMO, but I don't think they're really analogous, and I majored in math and can program.
I've been using Republic Wireless for over a year. They've also tried really hard to provide disruptive options by integrating Wi-Fi calling/texting/data into the phones.

I pay for the phone off contract ($299 for Moto X), then $5 to $40 / month for various service options (all unlimited, from WiFi calling only up to 4G LTE).

The Sprint network isn't the fastest, but it's hard to beat $25 / month for unlimited talk/text/3G data. I even went a whole month on the $5 WiFi only plan (You can change your plan twice a month).

I love not being locked into a contract and only paying < $50 / month for 2 unlimited phones.
Their freedom has not been reduced, as they are still free to choose an alternate, FOSS operating system if they prefer. Instead, they have access to more options than they otherwise would have, because it's highly unlikely that Apple would have expended so much effort in improving their OS, which is a competitive advantage for them, if they were forced to turn over all of that work to anyone who wanted it.

I really don't like the idea of licences which compel their users to act in a certain way. Freedom cuts both ways.

Economics is perhaps second only to psychology in the amount of internal inconsistency it experiences as an allegedly somewhat scientific field.

>(which has been conducted over nearly a century)

Is this supposed to convince me? Half of contemporary economic theory gets thrown out the window every few decades.

>Although the point is contested

No shit. Equally legitimate disciplines of economics reach completely different conclusions on the matter, which doesn't say much for the legitimacy of overarching economic theory in general.

Just as a very basic overview, here's some of what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Yeah, I was surprised by the framing of the question. Math is not a set of levels, it's a set of tools that are each useful in certain situations, many of which build upon each other. The branches of math that are most useful in programming are set theory, logic, linear algebra, and statistics, and most of them don't even appear in the U.S. high school math curriculum.

I still remember getting to college thinking I was hot shit because I learned calculus as a freshman in high school, and then realizing I had no clue how to construct a proof. Calculus is taught in schools because it's how you send rockets into space, and in many STEM professions it's a dead-end that isn't all that useful for the job.

There's a course called Programming Mobile App for Android offered through Coursera that will be started soon. By looking at the syllabus, it focuses on Android ecosystem (UI, Gestures, Notification, Location) instead of the Java programming. You might want to brush up your Java knowledge prior to taking the class. I think it is very helpful if you don't have experience in developing modern mobile app (iOS, Android).

> And need I remind you again about IP laws?

Not relevant. This doesn't ban content, just the reproduction of specific works.

You literally just contradicted yourself, when you mentioned a work that Australia did ban.

> partial censorship is okay

It is when you can evade it entirely by releasing an 'unrated' version of your movie, as is common practice in this country and has been for years.

> On the other hand, states in the US have laws stating that you can't take office if you are an atheist.

Outdated laws nobody would dare enforce, given the hugely expensive legal case which would result.

And, no, I never said it was fine and dandy. Stop putting words in my mouth. Every country has a sordid history which it needs to move past. Or do I need to remind you of the Stolen Generation?

> I didn't say anything about principles. I was talking about idealism being tested. These are not the same thing.

You are trying to draw a distinction based on absolutely nothing. The words mean the same damn thing.

> You have a pretty tortured definition of racism, if it requires the banning of face veils before it's a problem.

I never said this. I said that institutional racism is pretty damned bad when people can't even dress the way they want without being punished for it.

Every country has racism problems. At least in the US, we admit it without trying to claim our racism isn't racist.

> in the US, despite your puritanical ideal of free speech, you have a whole selection of two political parties to vote for

Or not vote for. You know, we have the freedom to not vote in this country, which seems to be foreign to the Australian mindset.

And, if having umpty-dozen parties is so great, how come the only ones who get elected are the ones that censor the damned Internet?

You're right, it is bombastic short-hand to concisely communicate how devastating deflation is and why central banks do everything they possibly can to avoid it. Here's just one recent example:

I think that would depend on how cURL is built, and not curl itself. OpenSSL 0.9.8 versions (still widely deployed) did not support TLS 1.[12], I think that was added in 1.0.1c.

I learned from this, and boy, was it elegant.

Anyway, in a hypothetical bitcoin economy, I can't _imagine_ annual deflation in the range you are talking about (e.g. close to 10% or greater), because that should be "priced in" ahead of time. I mean, there should/could be some deflation (or even inflation) on a year-by-year basis, but it shouldn't be that high. Right?
Why Curved Glass Will Change Gadget Design Forever
Obviously it depends.

Creating a software solution (program or app, whichever is it called these days) goes beyond programming/coding it, and it often depends on the problem you're trying to solve aka the problem domain or simply domain. That's why creating an mobile app to track a list of things to do on a person's day requires a different process for creating it than creating a solution for an self flying aircraft, weapon, banking, or medical system.

So, I don't think programming in general is bound to any math level. Some systems may require some specific math in order to create an adequate solution for them.
I disagree. Well, strictly speaking, asking for identifying information might be OK, but storing it or communicating it to other parties is not, at least not without some justification why that is needed.

Control over your personally identifiable information is similarly important in the modern world as is control over your property, and where the two come into conflict, appropriate solutions have to be found.

If you voted you don't understand math or programming.

Programming is recipes for a computer to follow. In many cases there is Zero math involved. You can write plenty of Data Entry code and never use a single numeric function.

Conversely you could write a single line of code that required all the math skills of a Quantum Physics Doctorate.

Programming is not "math" it is recipe authoring. It is more analogous to home ec than Dif-e-q

US math courses for high schoolers often goes along the following path: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II (basic linear algebra, but often not discussed as such, and other concepts), Trigonometry, Precalculus (1/2 semester each of the last two) and then Calculus. Of course, that adds up to 5 years so unless a student took Algebra I in middle school (year 8) they won't complete the full sequence, leaving calculus for college (depending on major).

The structure of formal proofs is taught in geometry. That's pretty much the only course where students are expected to prove theorems about the subject via proofs. In most of the other courses students are taught the formulas and techniques, axioms and theorems, but then apply them, rather than attempt to develop or prove them themselves. They're also, typically, not shown a proof of the theorems they learn, they're just told to accept them.

My question is pretty simple and has two parts. It seems that there's a good number of Ruby/Rails camps all around the US that are graduating 20-30 students every 30-60 days.

2. How can these students best prepare themselves for what may become a more competitive market?

A point that is incredible silly to any sane person alongside other points that require a more nuanced understanding of the issues is detrimental to the overall argument.
