"there is NO country today which is as badly off as EVERY country was 200 years ago" - I can name a few middle east countries that are worse off...and some African countries as well.
I think something else that needs to be considered is that all these years since 1945 Germany was held in check. This is increasingly not the case anymore and no matter how modern and progressive we think we are Germany always seems to have a penchant for starting wars. This time around, with them in control of the entire EU, it won't be so pretty and it is likely we will not last through it.
How easy or how likely is a meltdown attack likely to be successful against a moderately protected PC or say a VMware Cluster...these kinds of things seem hard to pin down...and if all one can do is READ - exactly what is to gain here? It seems that the machine would have already had to have been compromised in another way to get the memory that has been READ off and out of the computer system.
I am not so sure this will fix the problem. The Catholic Church had access to children, people that would take advantage of it sought the positions where they could exploit such power. Places where governments run schools have the same problem...the evil people that will exploit such power and positions always manage to find their way in...and then the organizations tend to always struggle with getting rid of such persons. The problem is with human nature. The only way to reduce (you will never eliminate) such problems is to deal with the violators with certain, swift and harsh punishments (death). You put a lot of blame on the Catholic Church (not that you shouldn't) - but where has the Irish government stepped in and purged the violators?
Communism has been tried already and has resulted in failed states and miserable people....the most recent example is Valenzuela...why is this so hard to see?
I suppose one can learn how to think by doing math, or they can just learn how to follow rules...and perhaps some may want to think about match specifically. However, I think most people would be encouraged to learn math if they are shown that math is just a way to model the world they live in and it can tell them specifically about some of the assumptions they have about it. For instance, I might assume if you put some fuel in a rocket and point it straight up that it will go into space and be somewhere. Math can tell me where it will be and the path it will take to get there...people identify more with those concrete things.
I studied engineering and went to an engineering school (EE, ME, CE, etc). I have had contact with many engineers on a daily basis, although I do not do this work anymore myself, and I have found that engineers can talk very well - actually I have never met one that can't and/or won't (the real problem is getting them to shut up). So in my experience, smart useful people are always able to communicate. There may be the occasional savant who is awkward or such but I have not met them.
As for programmers - same thing. If they are any good they are more than able to talk the talk.
How do you justify the cat's life then, or any life? What level of intelligence has to be met? Who defines that? Why is intelligence the defining attribute?
The middle class is decreasing mainly because of divorce and thus the creation of single parent homes; additionally middle class families leave the middle class because BOTH parents work and thus moving them into the upper class - when if one of them worked they would stay in middle class.
Is this, "Hitler governed by executive decree, a method that has suddenly come into vogue again." referring to the Executive Orders issued by President Trump and Obama as of late? Well if so, it certainly is not even close to the executive orders issued by Hitler. U.S. presidential executive orders are still subject to judiciary review and can be struck down; and then there is the power of congress to pass laws that can override them (although they could be vetoed by the President).
As I read it it refers to the biomedical field a lot...and the foundation of the article actually was built on Fisher's full explanation of statistical significance and backs it up with physicist Robert Matthew's insights...even so - you can't get away from the math - the math is sound.
You are spot on with this; after learning a second language (Arabic) in my 20's and a third (Hebrew) in my 40's though I do find it "easier" in the sense that I know how to learn a hard language a little better than at the first. Same with programming. I learned Fortran in my teens and then Java in my late 30's and of course there is much more to Java than Fortran but the background helped me learn Java much faster than if I started cold. They key though is desire, time and focus - if you can not get those things you will not be able to learn anything that takes a long time to master.
I think this is a large part of it. I don't care so much as 5 cents about what somebody at child protective services thinks...but where I live people drive so fast it is a bit ridiculous..but also my neighborhood has roaming packs of dogs. For whatever reason my area seems to be where people go to drop off unwanted dogs; they pack up and become dangerous. I have been attacked 3 times, my wife once and I am not too keen on my children's ability to defend themselves against them. I have disposed of many of them but it seems just when it is safe again to go for a run...there are more dogs.
So...what examples are there of blacks being gunned down and slaughtered? I think you do not know what the words you are using actually mean or you are doing it on purpose - which when you line your comments up with the facts; is very disingenuous.
George Patton was confident with out a doubt; but he was humble enough to not be outwitted by his enemies...pretty much that is all the humility you need in his role.
Instead of Games that may or may not map to some useful thing and some cognitive improvement...why not just learn more math and or a 2nd language? The time invested here will at the very least provide you with some useful skill or a better understanding of your world.
Manufacturing is a strategic asset. When/If war ever comes upon us again we will need such assets to preserve ourselves. We must not let hubris cause us to think we are above the ruin as other great peoples have suffered.
The article focus, and my focus, is a about how or if there is actual evolution occurring within DNA. It is separate and apart from the organism in question. My point is that almost everybody these days mixes up evolution and natural selection when they are two very distinct things.
You used the word "evolve" - I don't think this means what you think it means. Evolving means that positive mutations are occurring that assist these organisms; what is really happening is Natural Selection; where already present genetic capabilities are being favored and those populations are thus surviving.
I think it may be tough if you have not continued to improve yourself. There are some maxims to always follow to prevent yourself from "expiring": Keep learning.
1. Always learn some new hard thing; a language, more math, or go deeper into your subject (programming languages, etc.)
2. Stay in top physical shape and learn some new physical skill.
Learning should be multifaceted and a lifestyle; intellectual and physical. If you think you can just coast after college then you will be passed up.
No, that is how Natural Selection works, not Evolution. This is a demonstration of natural selection, as the resistance was already resident in the DNA.
Natural Selection != Evolution.
