That isn't an accurate summary of my comment. I'm arguing that this article isn't revealing anything unexpected about the nature of the device and is only a list of reasons why the author made a poor purchasing decision by ignoring readily available information about the device he was purchasing.
I'm curious what you mean by "teaching STEM", do you mean a particular emphasis on STEM? Because most schools at least cover the science and math part, with varying degrees on the technology and engineering (often limited by teacher availability and financial resources). If they don't cover those things then they aren't really covering any state's high school curriculum.

It depends on when you start to force it down their throats :) The earlier in their education that they are pushed to reason more rigorously (again, within reason) the easier it will be for them to accept mire rigorous education earlier. Still, I really agree with you though that a cultural shift will be best, but I'm not sure how this ever will happen.
If I remember correctly, there's a probability that a line will end with "...hic!" or that s will be replaced with sh. It won't happen every time, so your first message could go through fine. A checksum is probably best.

Character names will never contain punctuation, so expecting a possible terminating "...hic!" and ignoring it is fine.
So? What difference dose it make?

You will have to spend time to figure out which build-settings originate from which library. Or you do it properly upfront with a xcconfig, which also costs you time.

This is not a rule. A lot of the players don't use much math--basic pot odds. They develop a feel for when they're making the right play, and openly admit to being "feel" players.

I do believe they would be very good at doing on-the-spot calculations in their head, they're often just not very trained in math.

Anyhow, surprisingly little in poker is math-dependent, particularly in normal ten-handed games. The cognitive load is mostly about factoring in thousands of variables, past hands, and potential hand combinations of your opponents.
That's not helpful for any kids whose parents are bad at math. You're condemning them to a lifetime of ignorance because of their parents' deficiencies.
A lot of subtitling in France? Nope. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find any (by default that is, you can always turn them on). The overwhelming majority of shows are dubbed in France too.

The explanation is some form of ingrained linguistic pride and more pragmatic concerns: viewership would drop about 30% if they stopped dubbing.

>What's holding back these places from getting ahead?

There is no motivation for someone to teach in inner cities beyond a sense of civic duty. I live in a city with terrible (unaccredited) schools. Students in those schools are often openly hostile to teachers and faculty. Administration is often on the verge of a breakdown due to the pressure to "turn things around." Why would anyone want to teach there? I know I didn't want to.

If you think it's a travesty that talented and bright teachers want to avoid inner cities then you should do it yourself. That's what I say to anyone who brings this up. Often I will be told, "But that's where you're needed!"

"So are you," is my response.
As a casual poker player, I find this line of reasoning specious. Sports betting, blackjack and even roulette with a biased wheel are all games of skill by this definition. Poker games are designed specifically to appeal to our gambling instinct so that better players can play the house while worse players gamble away their chips. It's true that from the perspective of the best players, it's not truly gambling, but they are not the ones gambling laws are written to protect. This isn't too different from a casino owner saying - I'm not gambling, I make money every day. You may not be gambling but your customers are. The same is true of poker - even if you're not gambling, your opponents are.

Edit: Will downvoters explain their reasoning? Btw, someone else said something about how poker is a game of luck at low skill level and game of chance at high skill level but that's not really how it works. Poker is a game of skill if you're playing against bad players because the game is consistently beatable with sufficient skills. The better and more sound your opponents become, not just relative to you but on an absolute basis, the more important the role of luck becomes.
I think what that must mean is:
Players 1, 2, and 3 have the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best hand, respectively.
During betting, player 1 folds. Neither player 2 nor 3 fold and eventually show their hands.
Thus player 2 wins not by having the best hand, but by getting the player with the best hand to fold AND winning the showdown.

It absolutely should say differences. Changes implies causality (or, if not causality, at lease differences over time, which also wasn't shown). It is every bit as likely that the brain differences are the reason somebody chose to smoke marijuana. But "Study finds brain differences in young marijuana users" doesn't have any cachet.
Though there's certainly a difference, I'm not sure it's all that important here. A fire followed by a mild explosion isn't necessarily that much more dangerous or harmful than a fast fire. You don't really want either.

This.

I grew up in Belgium, and there were two versions of films on - V.O. (Version Originale) which had two sets of subtitles (Flemish and French) and V.F. (Version Francaise).

The cinema usually had far more Flemish speaking people in the VO screenings than French speaking, so I assume they went to the VF ones.

"You don't seem to understand peering at all. That's ok. Be quiet, listen to the rest of us that do."

You don't seem to understand reality at all. If you can't say something nice, STFU.

As to reality:

Yes, peering often works the way you describe, but Netflix tweaking their player to ship back a bunch of garbage traffic to something on L3 (Netflix themselves, or otherwise) would balance those ratios and change "who should pay" in terms of your analysis, while being a total non-solution.

The simplistic analysis here is inappropriate. This is about 1) the fact that Comcast has a virtual (or actual) monopoly in many markets, and 2) Netflix competes with Comcast's other business. Abuse of market power to restrict unrelated trade is awful and often appropriately illegal.
I dont think common core was around in the 90s. Besides the tracks still share common math requirements. I believe at my school the only difference was you didnt have to take Math your senior year for vocational. (Of course honors/AP would be taking advanced courses).

I was trying to say common core was "one program for all".
You're a reporter. Your career is helped if your articles sell a lot. Of course you have an incentive to put a bit of "kick" in the title, or even in the content of the article, if that will help your baseline.

In fairness to CocoaPods, I should clarify:

It's not simply that Xcode project files are edited that creeps me out. Cocoapods is actually trying to solve a complex problem, more so than other package managers like RubyGems or Pip or CPAN. Project files will therefore need to be edited.

It's really the fact that Xcode makes it inconvenient to do the work CocoaPods is trying to accomplish. I do trust you guys to do things right, I do not trust that Apple will keep your needs in mind when they make changes to Xcode.

There are features of CocoaPods that I just don't use, preferring to perform things manually. I don't use those features mostly due to the concerns described above, and my comfort level with doing them myself. If I did break my habits and use those features, the convenience might outweigh the complexity introduced.

I'd love to see Apple explicitly target CocoaPods compatibility as a beta testing goal.
Problem is many people read science news for the 'human element,' the big take-away that explains why the research was done — something which rarely exists, but that doesn't stop people from expecting it.

Good science articles at science-focused sites often do go into such detail, but if you read a science article at CNN or gawker, you're going to get a version tweaked for their audience, and abbreviated to boot. Multiple explanations and bouncing possible confounding variables off multiple experts isn't an option if the writer has one hour to create the article and it mustn't exceed 300 words.
The first store opened on 15 May 2001. The iPod was launched 5 months later.
>Why does it matter who sends who how many bits?

Because that's what peering is.

No one gets to connect to a network, any network, for free. But if you have your own network, the company that owns another network might decide to hook up to yours for free, and you to his for free.

Supposing, of course, that your networks are roughly equal. Why bill each other, if your bill to him will be about as much as his bill to you? Doing all that accounting costs money, so it's easier to just connect to each other for free.

But this only works if both your networks are roughly equal.

If some jackass walks up to you and says "I'm selling crap to your customers, let me hook up to your network for free!" you aren't going to agree to that. It'd be dumb.

I really, really have trouble making sense of why so many people are ignorant of peering. It's going to be a really big problem too, because ignorant people are screaming for politicians to fix it, and neither the people nor the politicians have any clue at all.

> If Comcast is asking Level3 for massive amounts of traffic

Comcast is a network. It doesn't ask for traffic.

It lets people who are connected to their network communicate with each other. If only one party connects to their network, it is impossible in a practical sense to facilitate communication between the two.

Comcast doesn't guarantee connectivity to any specific host. It is a best effort service.

> Comcast just needs to admit their equipment simply isn't up to the task of servicing their own customers,

A kernel of truth in a turd of mistruths.

Yes, I suspect this too. But it's not their equipment... that stuff gets switched out every few years. It's their network itself. HFC isn't sufficient for a modern network.

Also, there's no point in them admitting this. That helps them not at all. And, since they're familiar with all the numbers, I also suspect that they know they can't afford to build a modern network.
>It also massively curtails usage, to the extent that it is a net negative for the ISPs

I think that's the reason why Comcast wants to do the 300GB 'unlimited' with a $10/50GB overage charge. As they get the best of both worlds.

The issue with having a 'hybrid' plan is that to Comcast's finance department they still view it as a fixed gross per customer. Where-as with metered usage, the finance department would hopefully realize that the bigger the pipes the greater the potential for $$$.

In regards to peering, Comcast currently has no incentive to upgrade there peering exchange points. But in a metered system, they have a lot of money to gain for upgrading the exchange points. Giving level 3 and Comcast incentives to upgrade peering exchanges. (Today its only Level 3 who benefits).
True, the way cards come out is chance in a single instance of a hand, but in the long run, over thousands, maybe millions of hands, the cards that you expect to come out will do so more often, and the skillful players will win more often (as opposed to the occasional bad beat).
If you are talking about professional basketball then of course there is luck.. at such a high level a few points, basically a basket, can make the difference between a championship and a lost series, but again, we see the best teams (for the most part) every year in the playoffs repeatedly. The same can be said for rec basketball - the closer the skill levels are of the players to each other, the more luck may play a factor.
You could use `ipfw` to squelch all network traffic, you probably already use linux firewalling to stop the same behavior.

I imagine that means that often, someone who would have won folded to a raise pre-flop, or on the flop, etc.

Later their flush (or whatever) came in, but they weren't in the hand any longer.

Two players showed down, but they were the player who won the pot and some third guy.

85.2% of hands were decided without players showing their own cards, certainly many of those hands had flops.
I do not understand why things need to talk AllJoyn instead of talking CoAP or MQTT.

If AllJoyn is solving a problem that using CoAP or MQTT does not, then great, but it won't be a PHP unless it's completely opensource and I can run every part of it on my own machines.

This may be the case, though it isn't clear if this covers all the required software

The AllJoyn site doesn't seem to have any obvious links for installing and running the whole thing on for yourself.
Only slightly related to the article actually but when did the pluralized term maths become a thing. I feel like it had to be recent but I've been noticing it everywhere lately.
Re: rewriting

I stated that Common Lisp was developed before the commercial internet & args.
I remember when I 'got' algebra. I was in 10th grade in Chem class. We were using mols = (mols/Volume)*Volume. For weeks, I had no idea what was going on. I just plain did not understand algebra whatsoever. But finally, at the end of a lab class where we actually mixed things and then found the concentrations and volumes, I finally figured out that these algebraic equations actually tied back into the real world. This was not for lack of trying on my part, my teacher's part, or the schools. I just plain did not understand. I think it was a developmental issue for me. I wasn't ready to chemo-mentally, therefore I just muddeled along frustrating everyone including myself.

I say this because I went on to get a BS in physics from a UC. Obviously I learned math very well later on. But in 9th grade, I was unable to learn anything harder than long division. I was a 'left-behind' child due to my brain. Nothing, I believe, could have helped me. Not all the tutoring in the world. My brain wasn't old enough then.
What about the datastore? I can get thousands of requests per second (which I did when I released and it hit HN), and the site was as fast as if I had 1 hit per second. Traditional databases don't scale like that. If you want it to scale like that, it gets difficult and expensive. The datastore does all of this + multi datacenter replication + predictive performance regardless of load.

Do you have any direct evidence of this?

I ask because it is well known that math ability is correlated with educational achievement, and level of education is known to be correlated with income. Putting these two together, I would suppose that math ability is correlated with income.
Here's a recent paper being published by Cliff Mass and his students and colleagues: http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/MWR-D-13-00269.1 That's a good comment though: we should have more details and visualizations of the active research. Thanks for the heads up.

There are some major issues with this article, the more I look at it. The general tone is quite prejudiced--using Turkey, Chile, and Mexico as obviously terrible comparisons we should be ashamed of. The article also fails to mention that the two countries the US is ranked between are Sweden and Spain.

There's also no indication of the variation between #1 and #34 on the country rankings. Are the kids in Mexico 50% dumber than South Koreans? Or 5%?

Finally, is it a shock that there's variation in test results between US states? To whom?

There's plenty that can be critiqued about American education, but this article shows a lot of good ways not to do it.
I think it is very much worth caring where the average is. This average person will grow up to become a voter and taxpayer and we need intelligent citizens to vote in competent representatives. Philosopher kings never happened, otherwise, just making sure the smartest get smarter would be okay; we have a democracy and the only way to make it work is to have informed citizens.

I think you're missing the overall point. This isn't a nerd problem, its a MBA probelm.

From a networking engineering point of view, these problems are very solvable the way they always have been -- more stuff.. You increase bandwidth to the peering points, or find other ways to deliver the traffic (ie. have Netflix use dark fiber to deliver traffic to different regions, etc)

The cost of doing this is negligible, and on the business ISP side, the ISPs are doing an excellent job of solving these problems as enterprises start sending gigabits/sec of data to O365, etc.

The reason they are doing this is that the increased traffic is attacking television distribution. When you are Comcast, a wholly owned subsidiary of NBC, you tend to care about that.

Citation needed.

As far as I can see common core defines standards of ability, rather than teaching methods. There are a bunch of awful, dreadful textbooks that claim 'common core compatibility' but which ignorant people conflate with being part of a common core syllabus, as if they are approved/endorsed by the same people who drafted the Common Core standards, whereas in reality textbook approval seems to be a an extremely politicized and corrupt process carried out by the individual states. I wish there were a single federalized syllabus, because it's not like Math works one way in Connecticut or Rhode Island and another in Texas or Arkansas.

Your argument is like saying Windows is terrible because you can find some poorly-programmed Windows software. Flaws in an individual textbook or exam paper are not the same thing as flaws in the standard they claim to adhere to. Perhaps you would like to use the link to the common core standard in the grandparent post to point out examples of what you are talking about.
Your statement is true about the "feel" players, but even those players will perform EV analysis away from the table because by estimating percentages of certain tendencies you can figure out what the right play is in tricky situations, and over the long run that ends up saving more money than anything else

No, the cards you "expect" will not come out "more often" after millions of hands. They will come out exactly as often as they're supposed to.

Whether or not a card will come out when you place your wager is still a matter of chance. You can't skill it into happening.

Skilled players are undoubtedly taking the likelihood into consideration when they place their bets, of course.

Population density is indeed a problem for us. Some of the most severe weather like tornados and supercell thunderstorms (and hurricanes for that matter) don't happen in high smartphone density areas. What we're finding is that in cities we are already reaching the density required for useful weather forecasts, so we're fine for now in terms of density....for now.

However, as we grow and expand it will eventually become important to start building drones and buoys to help us collect this high-res data without smartphones. The end vision is a high-density network of sensors all over the globe to continuously feed live data to models. We'll solve this however we have to, and I think the solution is eventually a roaming drone network. We'll see.
