You clearly have not taught mathematics at either the college level or the high school level. But your experience carries a great deal of weight. You are correct. I’ve taught mathematics at Purdue University, Florida State University, Un

However you want to label things is fine with me. We disagree with the label and you think not helping each other out during a disaster is no big deal. You are wrong on this. As Trumps continues down the path he is taking the reason for

The three main reasons for being in a union are shared resources, customs union, and mutual aid. If states can’t rely on mutual aid then eventually more and more people will wonder why they are in the union. Texas threatens to secede ever

If states can’t rely on federal help for emergencies then there really isn’t a reason to be in a union. Secession is the next logical step.

This is the wrong target in my opinion. The Republican 50 year quest to turn America into Ferenginar is to blame. When 1 of the 2 parties does what it can to discredit government and oversight of businesses we get the shit we got today.

..not a claim I made, please stop strawmanning. What you’ve been saying is based on your experience (very limited). The essence of your beliefs are that you and 12 other people could have done this book on high school therefore it should

People say Apple has not innovated much lately but they’ve innovated in the advertising space. They have just enough services and products to make it worthwhile for them to covertly advertise them to their customers. They don’t feel like

It is quite obvious that you have not taught mathematics at a non specialized high school. You think the experience you and 3 other people each of whom got a Ph.D. at a good university in science and/or philosophy is somehow normative

You obviously have not taught mathematics to high school students.

Length + depth determines the appropriateness of a book at a given level. They go hand in hand and my comment was about this book. Not 1 or 2 chapters of it and not 1 or 2 chapters of it dumbed down a bit.

I’m speaking from the perspective of the U.S. I still contend though that the vast majority of people ages 12 - 18 are incapable of learning this book. Note that I’m talking about this book as it is in it’s totality. This book includes co

Axioms and postulates as Euclid uses that term are the same thing. In modern times we have gotten rid of the idea of statements that are self evidently true. So we don’t use the term postulate. We’d call Euclid’s postulates axioms today.

I taught mathematics for 30 years at the college level. This is a college level textbook and it is not appropriate for either high school or middle school. Very few students at that level would be able to understand this material.

The virus that causes Covid mutates rapidly. The Covid vaccine is effective up to a point. It’s similar to how flu vaccines work. People who get a flu vaccine are less likely to get the flu but are not immune to the flu. Covid was and i

Apple is delivering ads We agree then that the Apple TV has ads in it.

That’s why I said pre-installed in such a way…I know you can move it or delete it.

You didn’t select to have Apple Fitness+ pre installed on the Apple TV and have placed in such a way that you will scroll over it occasionally. They made it so almost everyone uses the Apple TV app for at least some viewing and there you ge

Product placement in movies and tv shows are ads. Product placement on Apple TV are ads. Previews for new movies at a movie theater are ads. We live in a society where filling up your car with gas subjects you to ads. They are everywhere.

I’m not being pedantic. It’s not pedantic to call product placement an ad whether it occurs in a movie or on Apple TV.

by redczar 1y ago
These are ads. How much money would Paramount+ pay to have such a “preview” shown to Apple TV users? Whatever this number is it is certainly much larger than $0. Therefore it is an ad.

There are pre-installed apps like Apple Fitness+. When you scroll over that app the top part - maybe 1/4 of the screen - is a picture of a workout. This is an ad for Apple Fitness+. Similarly if you use the Apple TV app you’ll see

Apple TV certainly has ads. It’s just that it’s ads for Apple products.

Can you share what you don’t like about Apple TV? I have one and really like it. I very much prefer using an Apple TV over using apps built into the tv.

Yes all interpretations are biased. Not all elucidations expose those biases to the reader. You had the right amount of sarcasm for most of your post but then brought in references to gender identity that were not germain to your points.

You do have a capacity to misread and draw the wrong conclusion. The emotional part of your original response refers to the “obnoxiously open” about her identity statement and your ending sentence regarding polyamorous anarchists being bet

You didn’t say she sounds obnoxious. You said she is obnoxiously open about her identity. The phrasing you used says much about you. Nothing in the post suggests that polyamorous anarchists would be better at running things. The post sug

The “obnoxiously open about” part of your post says much about you. Your post would have been much better without that part. Google was “obnoxiously open about” do no evil and the other stuff described in the blog post. It’s natural for p

I think the humor was lost on you. Your argumentment has been to leave it up to parents. So I did as a rebuttal. I guess you don’t agree that it’s all up to parents.
