"math" for a 5 year old is limited to the likes of simple counting, reverse counting, finding missing numbers from a simple sequence, finger counting, object number recognition without counting (you know that ooooo is 5 letters without counting them), using fingers to add numbers, learned arithmetic (remembering that 5+5 makes ten without having to work it out), number reading.
Very simple stuff that a 5 year old should know after a few months in a New Zealand school.

Yep, agree with the above.
Finger counting, whats 5 fingers plus 5 fingers, etc. is the building blocks of any kids math education around that age. My 4.5yo is surprisingly quick at answering a "if i have 2 rows of 3 stars, how many stars is that", and "ive got 6 stars, and if 3 stars get me a super star, how many super stars do i have" - which I think is pretty advanced, but that's about as advanced as it'll get for a good while yet I think.

Nazi gold!
The details are sparse, but it sounds like maybe billions of dollars of Nazi gold has been found in Poland on a train. Not sure how a train goes missing...

The thought that a bunch of Aspergers nerds (see: a cracking group) has taken it upon themselves to be Morality Police scares the shit out of me. These guys wouldn't know a human social relationship from a fucking thermomix.

Joined a gym today that does high intensity group workouts. Haven't been to the gym in a couple of years. Threw up halfway through the workout. Seems like a good gym.

OTOH if you DO want to give me a kick-back, code "7qjm2ue" would get both myself and whomever tries this as their FIRST Uber trip upto $25 off. Combine the two codes and you could get up to $65 off from 3x Uber fares tomorrow. Just sayin' *whistles* OK, I'll piss off now

I'm of the opinion that these people must have seen a heap of stuff reduced, figured there had been a fuckup and decided to buy it in the hopes they could put the screws to HN. I remember dealing with almost this exact scenario a few years back at a comp store i worked at.. A suppliers price list had come through with an error which fed onto our website resulting in an extremely high end video card being priced at $1. Some pimply little turd bought one, paid by credit card and then when I told him we weren't going to sell it to him for that his mummy wrote us a letter telling us we had to honour the sale because we'd "accepted his payment" and if we didn't then she was going to take us to the disputes tribunal... It was extremely satisfying to copypasta the relevant portion of the CGA and tell her if she still wanted to go to disputes then I couldn't wait to see her there. |

No fucking way did a big ecommerce thing happen at midnight with a supervision schedule of "oh I'm sure it'll all happen as intended, we'll just check transactions when we get in to work in the morning"

I doubt anyone involved in the midnight go-live switch over would know or have the carefactor in even considering that the listed prices weren't as intended.

Yeah, I totally wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some manager who came in at eight and was all:
"So how's that sale going?" ... WTF?" ... "WTF?!" Cue panicked email response which results in all recipient addresses being exposed.

I'd say that there was one person responsible for checking prices/functionality post deployment, and that person either didn't do it (but said they did), or did a really half-arse job of it.
Project Manager: "IT has said the pricing file has been loaded can you test to validate?" Tester: *checks one price* "Yeah, looks good" |
