There is no difference at all between 3D calculus models and multiplication tables. Believe it or not but humans did some pretty amazing math before the advent of the calculator. In fact, if you do a little historical research you will find that the math you are learning in undergrad courses was developed 100's of…

If you can't do your math homework without a calculator then you aren't really learning the math, you are only learning the tool.

But, if you read the article, the cause is described above. It has to do with easy access to cheap credit which both allow the building of new extreme buildings and bubbles.

I'm shocked that there are people reading Gizmodo that still pay for Cable. I mean, even my sister and brother in law are cutting the cord

A hipster is like a yuppy without a job.

Interesting political note: this is only the third time Obama has used his veto power.

I'm a bit surprised that apparently no one has noticed the Texas themed wallpaper.

I love the idea of a variety of top level domains. It's what the internet should have done from the very beginning. Reserve a few, like *.gov and *.mil for particular uses, but then open the rest up to the world.

A lot of people hate all Christians.

Governments need a policy for preparing for communication with extra terrestrials for the same reason governments need a policy for Jesus's return. That's to say we don't need one. The fact is, there is no more proof of extra terrestrials than there is a God- in fact there is arguably less. (No, "probability" is not…

Probably not for Opportunity, but likely for future missions. The cost of running Opportunity's mission now is pennies, it's just a few scientists and techs that have their jobs down now. It simply makes no sense to cut funding -not even for government standards.

A fraction is spent on education and exploration.

I'm always surprised when I get a reply to a comment I left here years ago.

I'm guessing most of these are little more than shortly mowed grass.

This is the thing that always gets to me as an Android fan. This is exactly the same fragmentation android has. Sure, the iPhone 1 will say "iOS 7.0" in the settings, but it effectively stopped being updated after iOS 3. And that's fine, phones can't keep being updated endlessly forever.

Reminds me of those prism parallax cards that show a picture in 3d and if you turn it the picture changes.

None of the "theories" he presented for the existance of math are science. Science has very strict rules to make a scientific theory. A Scientific Theory must have three parts:

If we measured the volume of the universe in cubic micrometers we get 10^98!
