I think the problem is, you are (with merit) criticizing Pearson for a crappy test. This isn't specifically Common Core's problem, this is Pearsons problem for a pretty awkward approach to Common Cores standard. You could argue th

perhaps it's the rise of social networks, facebook, flappy bird, etc which has neutralized all gangs.. kids nowadays can't put their phones down, get off the couch. they've gotten lazier?

pretty cool, but not surprising. in any large organisation, there is plenty of rule bending to achieve goals. you just can't get caught without results!

In my experience, it's not likely because they expend calories thinking, but that they get so emersed into their work, they forget to eat :) lot of good programming folks seem to be the same way

doing very little times 2300 in parallel is sort of the point though. if you have a parallel optimized job (like sum/agg of many rows/table), it is stupid difficult to make fast on a complex CPU where most of the execution paths r

the price per core in terms of watts strongly favors GPU. Even if a card is drawing 250w it's providing 2300+ cores, that is crazy http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780...

So, just another BI/decision support system, which uses this spiral visualization? It is sorta neat it tries to find some patterns for you, but I imagine once your data exceeds simple spreadsheets it becomes far less cool.

Mostly not possible. DSL has multiple deployment modes PPP (over Ethernet or ATM), Bridged, and routed-bridge encapsulation (RBE). The upstream router at the ISP is usually connected to an ATM or Frame Relay link, where they create virtual
