Should Computer Science be a mandatory part of a high school curriculum? The answer depends on the time horizon, and also on how one defines “computer science.” The question is moot in the short-term. In the long run, computational thinking and digital literacy will be mandatory, although perhaps integrated in other fields or introduced earlier, before high school.


    

Should Computer Science be a mandatory part of a high school curriculum? The answer depends on the time horizon, and also on how one defines “computer science.” The question is moot in the short-term. In the long run, computational thinking and digital literacy will be mandatory, although perhaps integrated in other fields or introduced earlier, before high school.

In the short run: schools would need to offer computer science courses before requiring students study it.

Before answering this question, one must first ask whether schools can actually teach computer science. Today, most high schools don’t teach computer science, they don’t have a computer science teacher, so mandating that every student learn a field that isn’t even offered is silly. Fortunately, schools throughout the U.S. are now taking steps to offer computer science. And 56% of teachers believe computer science should be mandatory for all students [1]. And with Code.orgtraining tens of thousands of new C.S. teachers per year, making computer science mandatory may be possible in less than a decade.

In the long-run: parts of computer science (computational thinking and digital literacy) will be mandatory learning, starting in grades K-8.

Computational thinking – which is the logic, algorithmic thinking, and problem-solving aspects of computer science – provides an analytical backbone that is useful for every single student, in any career. Schools teach math to students regardless of whether they want to become mathematicians, because it is foundational. The same is true of computer science. Consider, at the university level, computer science satisfies graduation requirements for 95% of B.S. degrees [2].

Digital literacy – understanding things like what is the “cloud,” what are “cookies,” or how does “encryption” work – these are useful for every student, regardless of whether they want to become a lawyer, a doctor, or a coder. They are just as foundational as learning about photosynthesis, the digestive system, or other topics one learns in high school science classes.

The coding aspects of computer science – learning the syntax of a specific programming language such as C++, Java, or Python – the syntactical expertise in one language is least likely to stand the true test of time. The programming language you learn in high school is unlikely to be popular 10 years later, and it’s hard to argue that everystudent must be required to learn any single language. However, teaching a coding language is often necessary for teaching computational thinking or algorithm design, and so it’s a key part of most C.S. education.

The U.S. education system is rapidly changing to broaden access to C.S., and even to require it in many regions.

In many U.S. states (e.g. Arkansas, Virginia, Indiana), computational thinking and digital literacy have already been integrated into the mandatory standards of learning for K-8 students. In these states, the most important foundational aspects of this field will be taught to every student before they even enter high school. When students receive that background in primary school, they can decide for themselves whether they want to take a deeper programming course in high school.

At Code.org, we don’t advocate for making computer science mandatory in high school. We advocate for integrating aspects of it in primary school (grades K-8). But we also support the ambitious school districts (such as Chicago, and Oakland) that have already decided to make it a mandatory high school course.

8 Ways to Burn More Fat, Faster

8 Ways to Burn More Fat, Faster

GamesBlast99   09:04

So you think you know the drill on getting a good body. But we're not after good; we're after great.

 

Rule #1: Be an early bird to get the workout.

Lace up first thing and you'll increase your odds of exercising today threefold. A study of 500 people at the Mollen Clinic, a preventive medicine and wellness center in Scottsdale, Arizona, found that 75 percent of those who worked out in the morning did so regularly, compared with just half the afternoon exercisers and a quarter of the post-work crowd. "At the beginning of the day, you have the fewest excuses for skipping exercise," says clinic founder Arthur Mollen, DO. Not waking up early enough, of course, is the main one. "Limit using the snooze button to only five minutes so that you don't fall into a deep sleep again," Dr. Mollen advises. Bonus! You'll go to work feeling focused: A recent study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that 20 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise improved concentration, reading comprehension, and cognitive function.

Rule #2: Hit the metal before the pedal.

Instead of going from zero to 60 to sweat off the calories, consider this: Doing a quick sculpting routine pre-cardio could increase the amount of fat you melt. Exercisers in a study at the University of Tokyo who biked within 20 minutes of lifting weights tapped more of their fat stores than those who rested longer or didn't tone at all.

The firm-then-burn order is also good for your heart: Arteries stiffen during resistance training, increasing blood pressure, but a cardio chaser such as a 20-minute run counteracts these effects and expedites your arteries' return to normal, explains Rohit Arora, MD, chairman of cardiology at the Chicago Medical School. Plus, strength training "takes coordination and good technique, so you get more out of it if you come to it fresh," says Kent Adams, PhD, director of the Exercise Physiology Lab at California State University, Monterey Bay. "Meanwhile, cardio is a rhythmic, low-skill activity that's the easier of the two to do in a fatigued state," Adams says.

Rule #3: Push your pace, rev your metabolism.

Finished toning and ready to get sweaty? Gun it a bit for a bigger afterburn. "High-intensity exercise increases the release of growth hormones, which mobilize fat to be used as fuel, plus it causes your metabolism to stay elevated about 10 to 15 percent above its baseline, so you're burning more fat for several hours post-workout," says Arthur Weltman, PhD, director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. In other words, if you worked off 300 calories during your session, you'll get a bonus burn of about 45 calories even after you've toweled off.

To net the effect, stick to a speed you consider challenging: In a 16-week study that Weltman conducted with obese women, those who worked out at what they felt was high intensity (a brisk walk or jog in most cases) three days a week and at low intensity for two whittled an inch and a half more from their waists than the low-intensity-only group. Or try alternating between sprinting (racewalking, pedaling fast, swimming at top speed) for one minute and slowing down enough to recover for the next minute.

Rule #4: Give up your seat to trim your bottom line.

Even regular exercisers could benefit from extra toning of their tush, the largest muscle group in the body, which dozes all day at your desk job. "When you're walking or running, it's your hamstrings, hip flexors, and calf muscles that get the most work," says FITNESS advisory board member Vonda Wright, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "Unless you're going uphill, your glutes don't play a major role." The good news? If you bailed on doing those butt-firming squats during your workout, you can easily sneak them in when your cube mate isn't looking. Stand up from your chair, feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your bottom to the seat as though you're going to sit, touch down, and then spring up, squeezing your glutes as you straighten. Do three sets of 10 to 15 reps two or even three times throughout the day.

Rule #5: Take a power walk to beat a midday slump.

Call it the 20-20 rule: As little as 20 minutes of low-intensity aerobic activity such as walking can give you a 20 percent surge in energy, research at the University of Georgia in Athens finds. "It's paradoxical: Many people assume that they'll get tired from exercise. But the opposite actually happens," says study author Patrick O'Connor, PhD, a professor of kinesiology. "We're not certain what the biological mechanism is," he says, "but indirect evidence suggests that brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin are altered and cause the improved energy." Besides, that quick recharge just burned about 75 calories. Sure beats adding 250 spike-then-slump calories' worth of Skittles.

Rule #6: Do the two-step.

When you opt for the stairs, go at them two at a time — as long as you're not wearing heels. The quick bursts of power activate your legs' fast-twitch muscle fibers, which burn more calories than slow-twitch fibers. Plus, you'll be using a part of your muscles that commonly doesn't get enough action. "Fast muscle cells are designed so you can jump far, kick hard, punch fast — moves that you call on less and less in modern society," says Scott Mazzetti, PhD, a professor of exercise science at Salisbury University in Maryland. "But unfortunately it's a use-them-or-lose-them situation, so it's good to activate them regularly."

Rule #7: Go like Gumby.

Consistent stretching significantly decreases muscle soreness, according to a study at the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for Health Services in Oslo. Skipped your stretches postexercise? Wind down with this 17-minute allover loosener from Jennifer Huberty, PhD, an exercise physiologist at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

• Warm up first with 5 minutes of brisk high-knee marching.
• Toe-reach stretch (targets hamstrings, which remain shortened all day as you're seated): Sit on the floor with your left leg straight in front of you, knee slightly bent, right leg bent out to the side and resting on the floor. Reach for your toes without bouncing and hold for 30 seconds; relax. Do 3 stretches, then switch legs and repeat.
• Hip-flexor stretch (targets hips, which also are tight in desk jockeys): Lie faceup on the floor with your left leg bent, left foot flat, and bend your right knee out to the side so your right ankle is crossed over and resting on the lower left thigh. Grasp your left thigh with both hands and pull it toward you until you feel a comfortable stretch in your right hip, glutes, and outer thigh. Hold for 30 seconds; switch legs and repeat. Do 3 stretches per side.
• Side stretch (targets upper back and waistline): Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Raise arms overhead and interlock fingers with palms facing up. Keeping your middle centered, hinge at the waist to the right; hold for 30 seconds. Return to center and reach up; hold for 30 seconds.
• Switch sides; repeat. Do 3 stretches on each side.

Rule #8: Set out your sneakers.

A recent FITNESS poll found that sneakers — with sports bras being a close second — are the piece of gear that is forgotten most often, foiling women's workout plans. Clear that obstacle by, well, making them an obstacle in front of the door you exit in the a.m., suggests Diane Klein, PhD, chair of exercise and sports sciences at Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens. "Seeing them will remind you that you planned to exercise," Klein says. For motivation to move, kicks are worth a thousand words.

3. Use it accurately

car coverage charges are normally more low-cost for folks who force fewer miles — the more frequently you power, the much more likely you're to have an twist of fate. most of the people estimate their mileage whilst getting a automobile insurance quote, so make sure you’re supplying an correct prediction. your mot certificate will display mileage from previous years, or you can music your weekly usage and use this to estimate your annual mileage. make certain you don’t lie about your mileage simply to get inexpensive car insurance — when you have to make a declare and your mileage doesn’t suit up, your insurer won't pay out.

4. Choose the proper cowl

most insurers provide three levels of cowl: third birthday celebration; 0.33 celebration, fireplace and theft; and complete. 1/3 party is the minimal level of cover legally required to force within the united kingdom. those guidelines only cover you for damage to other humans’s motors and belongings, so you will no longer be able to declare for any damage in your personal car. 1/3 celebration, fire and robbery includes this in addition to cowl for fireplace harm and robbery, and comprehensive also covers damage on your very own automobile in the case of an twist of fate or different declare. as you’d anticipate, these ranges of cowl every include a one of a kind price, but perhaps all of sudden, third birthday party isn't always constantly the most inexpensive option. vendors are often able to supply the high-quality offers on comprehensive cover, although 0.33 party cowl may be maximum affordable for older, low-fee automobiles.

Nvidia-powered Max-Q Laptops Target Thin and Light Gaming

Nvidia-powered Max-Q Laptops Target Thin and Light Gaming

maximum gaming laptops are very obviously gaming laptops way to their huge girth and weight. in any case, it takes quite a few cooling to keep a high-power gpu walking in this sort of small case. nvidia is seeking to change that with the max-q era it introduced at computex in taipei. by optimizing performance, max-q could make gaming laptops with a desktop-magnificence gtx 1080 almost as skinny as a wellknown ultraportable pocket book.


max-q takes its call from the aerospace industry, wherein it manner the point at which aerodynamic stress at the craft is at its highest. consequently, all engineering tolerances are advanced with max-q in mind. it’s similar with nvidia’s max-q, which is a aggregate of both hardware and software program. each laptop with max-q technology must be advanced in partnership with nvidia with the intention to track the overall performance. those gadgets will all run gtx 1080, 1070, or 1060 gpus, and those are the same core additives you’d locate in a large laptop video card.

the layout of max-q gaming laptops recognizes which you reach a point of diminishing returns as you ramp up overall performance in a laptop. consequently, max-q targets the optimum intersection of energy and performance. nvidia says the gtx 1080 in a max-q laptop may have approximately ninety percent of the performance and most effective half of the strength consumption of a computing device gtx 1080. that’s a roughly forty or 50 percent growth over cutting-edge gaming laptops.

by means of working with laptop producers, nvidia is helping to implement higher thermal answers based totally around the video card, excessive-efficiency power regulators, and optimized video settings. the end result is laptops which might be round .7 inches (18mm) thick and feature fan noise under 40db. that’s amazing whilst you remember that just a few years ago, a high-end gaming pc might sound like a 747 taking off and could easily be 1.6 to two inches (forty-50mm) thick.

computer makers can be announcing max-q designs quickly, and some have already finished so at computex. for example, there’s the asus zephyrus (see pinnacle). this tool falls under the business enterprise’s republic of gamers brand, and packs a gtx 1080 into a 17.9mm thick, 4.8 pound case. it additionally sports a 120hz g-sync display and fanatics that operate at simply 39db. there’s additionally the rather greater modest msi gs63, that is a hair thinner, but it’s best 3.96 pounds. this one runs a gtx 1070.

web presence is important to all corporations. to establish a web presence, you'll want a internet site, and for it to go and stay online it desires a reliable net web hosting carrier.

so what is dependable? does "paid web hosting" approach higher, more dependable provider?

not always true.

a whole lot of instances, loose net web hosting and paid hosting offers the equal safety, community bandwidth and port velocity. the simplest difference is the website hosting functions blanketed. these capabilities encompass additional disk garage, records transfer, more scripting help, more e mail debts, and many others.

for a enterprise establishing a new website, or for any everyday website, the disk garage and information transfer provided with the aid of a free net hosting service might be sufficient. it takes time to grow a website and accumulate sufficient traffic to max out the garage and/or records transfer limits of a unfastened net website hosting package. you could usually improve your provider from the unfastened web website hosting to paid hosting when the time comes.

maximum small corporations do now not need greater than five e mail bills. the extra accounts you've got simply means the extra time you need to spend managing them. many free net website hosting carriers offer e mail aliases (or electronic mail forwarders) that allows you to create the phantasm of having many unique e mail addresses but in reality all emails to those aliases are redirected and controlled with the aid of one account.

except you're planning on the usage of programs that require advanced scripting help (ie. a content material management machine, an e-trade purchasing cart, and so on.), your internet files will genuinely be of html and picture files. html and image documents do not require superior scripting help - any free internet hosting services will do.

in conclusion, until your website require the precise features presented by means of the paid website hosting plans, free web hosting offerings is probably all you want and mainly if you are aiming to save on money with out compromising at the overall performance.

Acquisitions accelerate as tech giants seek to build AI smarts

Acquisitions accelerate as tech giants seek to build AI smarts

A total of 34 artificial intelligence startups have been acquired inside the first region of this yr, extra than twice the quantity of interest in the 12 months-in the past region, in line with the studies firm cb insights.

Tech giants in search of to boost their leads in artificial intelligence or make up for lost ground were the maximum competitive shoppers. Alphabet inc's (googl.O) google has received 11 ai startups since 2012, the most of any firm, accompanied via apple inc (aapl.O), facebook inc (fb.O) and intel corp (intc.O), respectively, according to cb insights.



The groups declined to comment on their acquisition strategies. A spokesman for apple did verify the agency's recent purchase of lattice statistics, a startup that makes a speciality of working with unstructured information.

The primary area additionally noticed considered one of the biggest offers to this point as ford motor co (f.N) invested $1 billion in argo ai, based through former executives on self-riding groups at google and uber technology inc [UBER.UL].

Startups are seeking to move deep on programs of synthetic intelligence to particular fields, along with fitness and retail, enterprise observers say, instead of compete directly with mounted corporations.

“what you may see could be very big gamers will build platform offerings, and startup communities will migrate extra to carried out intelligent apps,” stated matt mcilwain, handling director of madrona venture group.

Healthcare startup forward, for example, is the usage of synthetic intelligence to crunch facts that could inform medical doctors’ recommendations.

“for folks who actually need to attention on core ai troubles, it makes quite a few experience to be in bigger companies,” said forward leader government officer adrian aoun, who previously worked at google. “however for people who really need to show a new field, a brand new vicinity, it makes greater sense to be separate.”

Synthetic intelligence companies that do remain impartial field a regular movement of suitors: matthew zeiler, chief govt of clarifai, which focuses on image and video recognition, said he has been approached approximately a dozen times by way of potential acquirers considering the fact that beginning the enterprise in late 2013.

Clarifai’s pitch to clients together with consumer goods agency unilever p.C (ulvr.L) and lodge search firm trivago is strengthened by its slim recognition on synthetic intelligence.

“(google) literally competes with almost every organization in the world,” zeiler said. “are you going to trust them with being your accomplice for ai?”

tech giants had been locked in a bidding war for academics that specialize in synthetic intelligence. startups hardly ever have the capital to compete, but a employer with a specialised mission can win over recruits, said vic gundotra, leader govt of alivecor, which makes an ai-driven portable heart monitor.

“they say, ‘i need to come back here and work on a mission that could store my mom’s life,’” gundotra said.
