OMG, the National Review actually wrote an article that offers a brilliant analysis, makes perfect sense, and is a complete surprise. Perhaps there is hope for humanity after all. A great example for a publication such as this one. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/443153/tran...

Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. This means just what it says it does. Discrete structures come in the form of matrices, series of whole numbers (discrete integers: 1,2,3,4,5, etc), or eigenvalues. Phenomena in nature that are discrete include the possible orbital shells of electrons (eigenvalues), binary arithmetic, integral values of the Fibonacci series that explain the number of segments in a seashell, or the number of seeds in a sunflower, etc. Many problems in business and science can be addressed with discrete mathematics, including optimizations among alternatives, mathematically rotating structures in 3D space, etc.

Maybe it's just a confusing time for me. Maybe you're a human being.

Hi! I always liked you. You're one of the good ones.

I thought you all were a bunch of hypocrites. Some of you are. Most of you are sincere. But really, I have grown much more than this community has in the time since my departure. I enjoy keeping up with some of you, which is why I still come here to read comments sometimes. Otherwise, my life is 10,000 times better than it was before and I'm much happier, so if you don't want me to come here to post, it's fine, really. I have a great job and great friends and I feel better than I ever have in my life about things. Hillary Clinton is your choice? Fine. Bernie Sanders? Fine. Donald Trump. No, thank you. Ok, well, I'm going back to read that sorta-kinda-Thunderdome, so I'll check back later.

There is no more Swifter. It's Swiftress now. Looks like you'll be spending time in a Hillary Clinton reeducation camp. There are no litany of comments. Sorry to disappoint you. What is today's topic?

Once again, Swiftress swoops down over the battlefield in her invisible jet, dropping flower petals of truth.

I don't see how you people could vote for her. She's a criminal, pure and simple. If there is a Biden/Warren ticket, Hillary is finished that afternoon. I wouldn't vote for Biden/Warren, but I wouldn't worry about them selling us out to the Russians either.

Frequently asked questions about Windows 10: Q: Did Swifter work on it? A: No. Q: Is Swifter's code still part of the operating system? A: Yes. Q: Is there anything to be done about this? A: You could use Linux or Mac OSX, or you could just accept it. Or you could become a program manager in Windows at Microsoft and lobby to have it taken out. Good luck with the interview.
