I'm not saying teachers can't handle it, just that it is financially stupid and patently not conservative to take a far lower paying job when you have those skills. Second 170 out of 1000 Texas districts allow conceal carry and of those only a few carry probably around 50 maybe 100 tops, and out of over 100k districts USA wide we are talking 0.2% for a 500x increase in allowed areas and further with asking everyone to carry that's easily ten thousand times more guns for ten thousand times the accidental deaths and stupidity. Call it what it is - murder - because even if it's "justified" you will likely be locked away but only after having tens or hundreds of thousands drained in legal fees.
I think I understand your argument. You are saying that in addition to the education and training to become a teacher, you also need the training AND authority granted by becoming a full fledged air martial (which pays triple to quadruple and has far better benefits). Further since these shootings are very likely to involve a former or current student, that the teachers are prepared to murder thier students at any instants notice, and you're encouraging this stance. Further because maybe 50 non LEO teachers carry so 100,050 will have the same incidence of problems when air martials have left thier loaded weapon in an airplane bathroom. I'm sorry but your logic is so extremely contorted, even from a conservative finnancial viewpoint, it defies all belief and seriousness.
I've heard zero talk about the type of training and authority you suggest - further the huddled teacher, freaking out in the classroom of scared and possibly dying kids, is quite likely to fire on the next person through that door. It's a disaster both legally and in the expected loss of life. No other first world country has these problems for good reason.
"Which has up to now been assumed to exist" assumed by who? Because I clearly remember apple trying to claim and also fight in court that jailbreaking is illegal Also that fixing your home button is illegal - they bricked phones over it before the backlash of stupid forced them to recant (FFS just disable the print reader not the phone) Tell this to farmers who can't repair thier own tractors because it's illegal, it goes on and on. We wouldn't need right to repair laws if it was always assumed.
I call BS on the grounds all data has already been stolen. When we won't even hold equifax responsible for collecting data on all Americans, most of which is against thier will and or knowledge, they can simply get fucked.
Just run it through the BS inverter: Security Innovation Center" - Illegal Corporate Lock In Center "Right to work" - Divide and Conquer "Patriot Act" - Unconstitutional Removal of Privacy Act etc...
Nope, that way it's easier to pull money straight from the aether. It's a simple extension of quantum uncertainty - if you look you could collapse the monetary function such that there is no money at all in there and go bankrupt. Whereas dollars that are snug and comfy and love each other very much in the dark can do something very special - and behold you have created more money!
I'm not sure you have thought this through. What happens when someone walks in with a gun - do you shoot first and open yourself to murder charges both for the perp and bystanders? Let the gunman kill people first to get in less potential trouble? Announce your intent for them to put down the gun and get themselves shot? Because I'll tell you that most people won't shoot because you will be held criminally responsible - that's the way it works. Further you would have to show that the hundred thousand probably poorly secured additional guns won't actually result in more deaths as you won't even need to bring in the guns - they are already in weak unsuspecting people.
I'm going to side with the officer in the town hall meeting and put securing the buildings as #1. Makes far more sense, won't require teachers to chose between being persecuted by the courts or just phoning it in (they have thier bonus - got mine so fk u), and actually prevents intruding without requiring people to go full Hollywood.
I haven't fully judged the deputy not entering the school because I don't have all the facts. It could be he was told to wait and secure the perimeter, but it does look really bad. If a cop hides instead of firing back that means we believe any old teacher will charge in with a single pistol and Rambo the attacker until dead? Teaching through high school has some of the worst pay to education level of any job in America, yet we won't reimburse them for the class supplies they need to buy but give bonuses for handguns? FFS air martials leave thier loaded firearms in plane bathrooms, it won't be long before the next shooting is caused by the teacher losing control of the firearm. Instead of securing the school physically, lets focus on using more fire to fight fire and simultaneously ignore all the burns no other first world country regularly suffers.
Pretty much yep. I'm waiting for the first time a shooter attacks a school with armed teachers, and when they fire back, the teacher(s) wind up killing innocent children in the cross fire. But im sure we will let them completely off the hook no matter how negligent, or lack of continuing threat, or if one decides this is a great time to get rid of a few students who harassed them in class. Just kidding, that's only for cops. They will fry in the hot oil of public contempt even before being sent to fry on the chair, even if it was purely accidental.
It should be obvious by now that guns didn't save our net neutrality, nor have they been saving us from a steady erosion of rights and freedom. Unfortunately, the fact this isn't obvious to many is the reason we have the problem. If things keep going this way, in 50 years autonomous weapon systems will render guns completely worthless with respect to resisting the government which was supposed to be the point.
It's all parallel construction by the NSA from his comments about getting rid of the deep state and limiting the spy agencies power. I think no one cares because we all realize we lost control of this country long ago.
This and it's quite likely that you can tell which would be more effective if we know more. Just because a single test shows that it dosent correlate does not mean they have disproved DNA makes no difference.
I'm sure heavy braking unexpectedly on the freeway is not only safer than costing like a traditional car, but when the resulting wreck results in a lawsuit, blame will be fully on the driver instead of the automaker. Cars have only commonly had a connection to wireless data for around 8-10 years, even now there are still some dumb cars. Give it another 10 years and I'll be more confident some disgruntled teenager from istonia won't kill a thousand people by hacking thier cars. There already have been recalls for this kind of thing and auto companies keep not understanding system security.
It's likely the car won't even work given auto maker attitudes. You would probably be stranded in the middle of a weather disaster instead of simply being able to drive to safety safely.
Vehicle mirrors are quite useful when the vehicle is off yet you want unobstructed vision. Unless you are going full bore driverless and lose everything including all controls, I would be far more concerned these types of systems just drive up the price, lower reliability over passive components (like a real mirror) and don't add any useful function current cheaper systems already provide.
I could if America didn't screw its populace for drug prices. Maybe if America wasn't full of assholes like you the shooter in Florida could have aforded and received help. You are too stupid to even act in your own self interest, hope that goes as well for you as it sounds.
Ahh excellent point you bring up about free market and capitalism being analogous. Guess where those parasites came from that your so fond of using as the basis for licensing? That's right, no fucking rules might makes right evolution. Unbridled evolution is the sickest most disgusting twisted force of nature. It's just freak luck your wife didn't rip off your head after mating and eat it like a mantis, or that males don't have barbed penises designed for rape of unwilling females like various species of lizards. Further let's get back to parasites - I hope your children die of trichinosis as that's just good evolution. For fucks same people, the kind of screw it all take as much as you can and zero fucks given for collateral damage capitalism we have in America is a literal disease.
It's funny, humans possess something no other civilization does in the visible universe and its right under your nose - - our particular kind of life. Even if life started elsewhere, using the exact RNA precursor (or whichever came first) and a similar star and planet, the odds of it being the same as us here after 3 billion years is low enough that even if it started up once per solar system, it will have occurred no where else within visible reality. This natural technology can be quite valuable, as it would take one hell of an effort to reproduce all the diversity and tenaciousness of life as we see it today - and that's just one among what is likely a large number of life bearing star systems in just our galaxy alone. The first thing I'd expect aliens to do is scan every life form down to a cellular level and extract as much data about how our organisms work as is possible.
I'll gladly take a back door in all my hardware and software if every politican going forward discloses exactly where every cent of their super PAC and other anonymous funding comes from, disclose every single meeting and conversation they have with all lobbiests and colleagues, all sexual relations, make available 24hr/day audio recordings of thier activities in addition to video of them at all times in public workplaces, the complete finnancial breakdown of everything they own, all business contacts, and most importantly, if a law is passed making it a felony with a 5 year minimum sentence to receive and accept anything over 50 dollars per human donor (cannot come from a company) as a politican without it being exchanged for a fair market value - even indirectly. I think if we could hold them to that I'd do it.
It's just a comment I made before, it dosent 504 on any browser I tried but I'll repost:
From someone who has had thier not that small startup get absolutely trashed by VC I agree with most of what you wrote, my main disagreement is it's a worse landscape than you paint. You are leaving out a complete disregard for all laws or actions that they probably won't be held accountable to. Here is how I was scammed
It was a university startup and while I had the largest ownership by a good margin, we started with around 12 owners including some facility and licensed the technology through the university (you don't own what you invent at universities just like at companies). This made politics an issue from day one as emails from senior university officials from the business development office had comments like "who cares, fuck the students" and the law services butchered the articles of incorporation when a simple boiler plate would have been better. I was working two and a half full time jobs managing the technology and as this was my first company I had quite a bit to learn. We eventually took on money to produce product, but this basically "required" taking on a CEO with experience who due to various NDAs keeping information from us turned out to be a typical finnancial criminal. After the first CEO colluded with this new hire CEO, he was able to vote shares not yet vested through the milestones outlined in his agreement through a stupid and ignorant loophole in our articles and the agreement language. By combining them with the shares we lost in the opening round we lost control of the company. The CEO then made a predatory purchase agreement with the contract manufacturer who also happened to be the largest VC. This 10 million dollar purchase was hidden from finnancial disclosure during a subsequent investment round. When the company had a shortfall and couldn't pay an emergency shareholder meeting was called 1 week from an announcement on Christmas Eve night where it was announced the 10 million dollars invested in the company was now worthless because the company was insolvent and we now were so lucky to have our entire company bailed out ( with a 14-1 dilution) by undisclosed people who only paid 400k and the whole deal was kept secret to a few select large VC who fucked all the others (and me) over using inside knowledge of the company. They wouldn't provide any of the legal documentation required by law before the meeting and when a class action lawsuit started up the independent council investigating took verbal confirmation that they had in fact had a secret document that had disclosed the 10m off the books deal. I should have known when I tried to hire a law firm and the first 12 had conflicts that I was really fucked.
tl:dr VC will just take your company and kick your withered corpse to the curb but only after milking all of your contacts and resources dry then burning the bridges on your behalf. The only reason you should take on money is if you are damn sure you can get the upper hand and fuck them over financially, because that's the only reason VC invest in startups.
I'm jaded because I had my technology push multi-million dollar startup stolen even though I was involved with several professors and graduate students, and licensed the technology from the university. We weren't allowed to buy off the patent costs, which for this portfolio (and due to government waste) wound up being around 400 thousand USD. Though I did have to pay off those costs before I was allowed any income disbursements from the royalty payments I made to myself, so in essence I paid for the patent portfolio, but retained no rights to it. Its quite likely the same story with MIT. They are so fucked, I feel sorry for those grad students. Without taking on money, they will have no product, if they take on money there is a 99% chance of complete and total fuckage. Trust me, I lived through exactly this scenario.

Better to have a realistic view of what things actually are instead of embracing the disease that is American unbridled capitalism.
