I think you make an important point, but I'm not sure the post takes any particular focus on visual representation other than a graph is generally an easier way to intuit what a derivative is. His repeated use of the word concept suggests

If you go looking it isn't too difficult to find material like this. Many of the posters hear have jumped in with their favorite resources. But, where do you all go when you want to ask potentially dumb questions as you would an instructor

I try to avoid sarcasm in comments. It seems like one is packing more meaning into a short comment, but without knowing a person or body language the comment is often unclear. Here I think you meant your comment as a final unavoidable contr

I challenge you to come up with a punishment that would work not just to keep kids in their seats, but also to get them to buckle their belts. At six kids per year I'm against punishing kids for being kids. I imagine there is some other

I find your second paragraph unsettling and it took me a while to see why. It's because, I believe, your premise is (mostly) wrong. The advertisement is effective because the culture does not condone destruction of perfectly good gadget

It's interesting for me to hear you describe this as I understand Texas is trying something similar with a program called Avid. My best friend is tutoring, er, facilitating for a smaller district. She tells me it's hard. You have the norma

gxti seems to have been mildly aware of this, but I just set up ssh at home on 2222. So thanks for pointing this out.

Intuition and rationality are reflexive. At all times one informs the other. Some people prefer to lead or focus on rationality, where their rational mind trains their intuition, and some lead or focus on their intuition, where their intu

That's also all I got. Maybe you weren't as clear as you believe and your sarcasm is misplaced.

This is really good, though I don't know what will stay with me. It's probably just good for people to see such a strong communicator talk about why statistics matters.

And when you get sick they'll ensure you aren't in pain by giving you morphine, which of course hastens your death. (Only barely hyperbole.)

:D That's how I read it first, but the second and third sentences likely refer to Coke as an organization, not his friends at Coke. (Or, at least that's how I would spin it if I'm wrong.)

Wow, that's a very good talk. He's a bit of a bleeding heart, but in such a way, that it's clear to me he couldn't be as effective as he is if he wasn't. There is also a lot of implication on what makes a good talk here. Thanks.

According to what law? There should be no reason a doctor with a new practice should need to keep paper copies of their charts. Remote backup copies yes, though I don't know the rule here, but not necessarily paper copies.

I hope you were able to find something that helped. It sounds like you might have been.

Why can't you simply deride the language while praising the approach. Then the adult can believe you aren't being patronizing, maybe the book is, but the book is an effective way to learn. The teenagers can run through it in a short time

When you put it that way I agree with you. But I don't believe art is just in the eye of the beholder. I believe there is a web of definitions for art that all overlap. Great Art is art that mostly agreed by everyone that it is great a

I think yours will be the best comment on this article. The trouble with this discussion is people keep attempting to define objective attributes of art. But art doesn't have objective attributes; they are all subjective. Art is a feeling

You know, though I agree, I think this is a POV issue. Some people believe one side and merely understand the other. Consider a person who both wants to be a doctor, because they admire the direct nature of a doctors work, but they don't e

I hear the argument and it is sound. I believe it isn't. I appreciate Michael's summary because it shows where Ebert's blind spot is. (I think you get it though.) Games allow you to be pulled into stories better, or at least differentl
