Prince John posted:Also, are they using 'empirical' incorrectly there? Of course not! Clearly they're just trying to encourage discussion of Bacon, Locke and Hume [edit: 5th February, 1770, the aforementioned David Hume writes to a friend regarding the recent resignation of the Prime Minister, the duke of Grafton: "The last unexpected Incident strikes us mute with Astonishment. Either the Duke of Grafton is much to blame for leaving us so abruptly, in so very critical a time, or a greater than he, if he got any just Cause for it. I carry my View to very dismal Consequences, especially as I suspect the last to be the Case. I fancy we shall have curious Scenes coming, worthy of the Pen of the greatest Historian. I am tird [sic] and disgusted with Conjecture."] Niric fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Feb 5, 2016 |

In real calculus (ie not complex analysis) there's about a dozen things you need to learn and then apply in ever more confusing ways, and because to really get down to the nitty gritty of it involves a whole lot of detailed work (basically everything Weierstrass did) just learning how it worked was never very satisfactory to me.

MrL_JaKiri posted:These are less of a problem than you'd think. There's a giant body of research into mathematics education (that I know a fair bit about, as I know a fairly leading person in the field) and the main issue is that the government doesn't want to do it, partially because the people making the decisions (eg Gove) think there isn't anything more to mathematics than just doing sums.

Panama Red posted:TBF there is no more insidious group of Machiavellian Francis Underwoods than the soapy Lib Dems Portsmouth politics is incredibly hosed. The Lib Dems are a cult of personality around Gerald Vernon-Jackson and Mike Hancock (who held onto his council seat for seventeen years after being elected to Parliament) and the Labour Party are right-wing shitheels who spend most of their time attacking Corbyn while voting for the Tory minority council's budgets. Which gives the Tories and UKIP a free run at loving up the place.

MrL_JaKiri posted:Science is far from cold. I think there is a very real attitude amongst some science types that their disciples are much more valuable and have more legitimacy than 'wooly' humanities subjects. That's anecdotal I guess but it is something I've noticed. I've met some scientists who are quite the opposite, but plenty who fit the stereotype. That said much of this is me remembering stuff from my time as an undergrad which probably ties into your other point.

So Danny Alexander, the former lib dem treasury minister, has been appointed vice president of the new Chinese led Asian Investment Bank. FT paywall link, not copy-pasting since good journalism is worth paying for. He'll be representing the European countries in it. Osborne put him forward for it, even though he's not really qualified for the job (he has bugger all international finance experience, and it's hacked off some people in China). He'll be one of five vice presidents. It's a bad judgment call on Osborne's part, and I think it'll come back to haunt him. Apparently he's been knighted. Huh, did not know that.

Depends on the university, in some cases students take it as a 'know thy enemy' thing, and increasingly things like corporate tax are being taught in a 'look at what these bastards are doing' way. A lot of corporate law can be taught in a very critical way.

For someone so anti roosh you seem to have no problem at all with shoving things in my mouth. The man wants attention, and by doing this its resulted in mass protest until hes been 'forced' to call off the trip, which much like his Australian adventure, he more than likely was never ever going on in the first place. All these counter protests will achieve is making his name more well known and give him exposure to the kind of people that would read his books and act on them. The most damage people could do to this twat is by ignoring him.

I am okay with Roosh V selling a couple more books to scum if it means rapists and fascists know they're hated and can't organise in public without the threat of getting their heads kicked in. I want anybody espousing "I should be able to rape a girl on my private property" petrified and unlikely to interact with the outside world.

Guavanaut posted:I thought he wants to sell books and his personal brand by drumming up as much status and attention as possible. He already got this attention by doing this in the first place anyways due to the press reaction and it isn't the first time he's done something similar in America/Canada. Hell if his secret codeword bullshit for his MRA buddies to go into a secret place didn't already cause alarm bells to start ringing then his attitude and creepy disgusting anti-feminist actions would eventually cause a crime to happen by him or his followers. I like to remind you that there was another creepy pick-up pro-rape artist called Julien Blanc who got banned in countries for trying to encourage men in Japan to grope women. There was evidence of him with his buddies just going up to a young women and putting their heads on his crotch as well as harassing and groping them. This is why these protests happen regardless if RooshV comes or not. It's to show a message that this type of harassment will be meet with severe backlash. serious gaylord posted:That's not what i'm saying at all. For someone so anti roosh you seem to have no problem at all with shoving things in my mouth. Should of been a lot more clearer then if you didn't want people to get the wrong impression. serious gaylord posted:The man wants attention, and by doing this its resulted in mass protest until hes been 'forced' to call off the trip, which much like his Australian adventure, he more than likely was never ever going on in the first place. You do realise that he has in fact been to other states and other countries before with his "Impress women in front of his MRA buddies" right? he's held meetings with the same scum, tell them how to "pick-up" women which is just social enginnering to take advantage of the vulunable. If the video of him getting beer splashed in his face in Canada by a women and then trying to start using a chair against people backing her up isn't enough of a warning sign then how about him and his crazed followers trying to track her down on the internet and posting her personal information on to the web then? serious gaylord posted:The most damage people could do to this twat is by ignoring him.

I will claim it was satirical after they are dead. Why kill them? It's mercy to spare them the pain when you kill them. What you should do is amputate their limbs, make them blind & deaf, get rid of their teeth and tounge and let them just be lying in their own psychological hell as all they can do is well...nothing.
