David Cowan: "Instead of building up to calculus as the epitome of math education, we should instead sequence our lessons so that every high school graduate understands statistics and probability. Calculus is nice for scientists to know, but statistics inform most complex decisions that people have to make both at work and at home. Undoubtedly, Benjamin is right that most people don't understand simple concepts like expected value, which perhaps explains the success of lotteries and casinos."

I think the people who play lotteries understand that the expected probability of gaining financial independence in the next week is zero if they don't play, and epsilon if they do :)

But if those same people would explore the opportunity cost, they would see that their epsilon could be slightly greater in another investment. but we're human, so we're driven by our short-term emotional satisfaction.

I have a custom RSS feed set-up and would like to untick, "Display entries as messages (no link)" but when I try and save changes it tells me, "You have already added that account"!!
I know this but I'm just saving changes. Workaround is to delete the feed, and thus all the likes and comments attached it to and re-enter. Not good! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Just to add: I would have to delete everything else I would get duplicates when re-setting up the custom feed. Plus FF doesn't allow multiple feeds from the site URL.
- Kol Tregaskes
OK, I've just removed the feed and re-added it with the above option unticked. When I go to edit the feed I find the above option is ticked!!! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
I have this problem as well. I've tried removing and re-adding feeds, and they just come back with the same options checked. All I want to do is edit how the feed is displayed.

Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı, Sotheby's müzayede evinin 4 Mart tarihinde gerçekleştireceği Çağdaş Türk Sanat eserleri müzayedesinde satışa sunulacak çağdaş eserlerin, "kültür varlığı olarak herhangi bir envanterinin" olmaması gerekçesiyle, müzayedeyi izlemeye almadı.

"Bakanlık yetkilileri ise çağdaş eserlerin kültür varlığı olması konusunda "tereddütlerin" olduğunu bildirerek, bu nedenle de söz konusu müzayedeye ilişkin sürdürülen bir konu olmadığını bildirdiler."

batının sadece iyi özelliklerini örnek aldığımız gibi, kültürümüzün de sadece osmanlı sanatı gibi iyi özelliklerini örnek veriyoruz. way to go.

Hem Kültür hem Turizm Bakanlığı olduğu sürece devlet zavallı kültür politikaları üretecektir.

"ben böyle sanatın içine tükürürüm!" demediklerine şükretmek lazım. İ. Melih Gökçek değil allahtan kültür bakanı.

HD is not innovation in television. Being able to key in CNN and have my television change to the right channel would be innovation. We've been back in Atlanta for almost three years and I haven't been able to watch the guide channel long enough to find out what numeric channel is NBC.
