Does anyone actually go directly to youtube.com/lush? I doubt it. They would just search for Lush. On a site run by the guys who own the top search engine in the world.
Our telecommunications infrastructure is not secure. The industry has had strong laws with long prison sentences attached, so they never felt the need to secure anything. There have been plenty of people who have hid their locations for years before the FBI tracked them down. That was pre-internet. Imagine how easy it is now when you can hide behind proxies and VPNs.
No, my parents weren't assholes. I saw every admission and rejection letter.
However, your story sounds fishy. Did she just never hear from CMU and not call them to find out what happened? Did her parents forge a rejection letter?
"Never been discouraged from tech one bit." You'd lose that bet. You shouldn't presume that anyone has an easy time in technology. It's hard and filled with constant discouragement from everyone, including teachers, and requires a "fuck you, I'm doing it anyways" attitude. From what I've seen, anything worth doing requires this attitude.
Kids are going to feel disappointed and cheated when they realize programming isn't as quick, easy, and pretty like all the fun UIs in the show.
The Featurette on youtube didn't show any actual coding. It showed a bunch of MEL that's generated as the artist used the GUI. I am 99.9% certain that the artist didn't create the character in MEL and instead used the modeler tool. There's nothing wrong with that, but if they wanted to talk about programming, they could have shown some of the cool Maya plugins PROGRAMMERS created for the artist to use.
My guess is he brought back Jar Jar Binks, as a Jedi. He was in exile, just like Obi-Wan. Every scene will be like the one where he got the droids stuck on his foot, and accidentally killed enemies. Only this time, it will be with a light saber and mad acrobatics.
I've skimmed through the Curriculum Framework, and it looks like a survey course on computers, technology, and society. I don't see anything about actually building software. It has a lot of ideas, and theories, but when does the rubber hit the road? There may be a match of this course in some schools, but most won't give any Computer Science credit. No one in the major would receive credit for this course.
As I look into my cloudy, crystal ball, I see anyone deciding to go into computer science based on this course to be shocked when they have to write actual code in Intro to Computer Science.
The real tragedy is that AP Computer Science AB hasn't been brought back. Schools need to stop catering to the lowest common denominator and should be providing opportunities to those who will take them.
You'd be surprised how many felonies and misdemeanors they could find on your phone. If they find anything suggesting you committed a crime, they can make your life hell for quite a while. This affects everybody.
I was thinking the same thing. As someone who's completed 3 courses and will be taking 2 more this fall, I think it's a great service and am happy to pay money for it.
FB's experiment was to see if they could alter the mood of their user. OKC tried to see if they could get more conversations going. Intent matters. OKC's is fairly harmless. FB's experiment could have a ripple effect and cause negative consequences.
Where can my students set their gender?
Some of your students may have already set their gender when they signed up for a Khan Academy account. If they haven't yet, or you want to make sure it's set, ask them to visit their settings page by clicking their name in the top right corner and clicking "Settings" in that menu. There, they can set their gender. If we find that you have students that have completed the course but have not specified their gender yet, we will notify you.
I predict a lot of "girls" are going to complete this course.
On top of that, it needs to be as easy as it is on Windows to get multiple monitors working, install new drivers, and apply patches. Granted, it's been 4 years since I've tried, but I couldn't get multiple monitors working in Kubuntu. The phrase "recompile the kernel" should never be seen by the user. I want to just check "I agree" and click "next".

What was leaked? Does anyone have the full text of the e-mail?

Yes, there's a shortage of programmers. That's why Microsoft laid off 18,000 last year and will layoff another 500 this year.
If you're using ASP MVC, then yes. Check this out. http://gunnarpeipman.com/2014/...
Tofu is processed soy, so I'm not a fan of it. But salad is just a bowl of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc., all of which were alive.

After watching years of Law and Order, I feel I'm qualified to make a judgement. ;)
This sounds like a fishing expedition. (DUN DUN)
Economics is the science of explaining tomorrow why the predictions you made yesterday didn't come true today.
Or as President Harry Truman requested... "Give me a one-handed economist!"
It lacks the preciseness of Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.

Wow, I didn't know it was so easy to manipulate female students. No wonder society is so quick to remove all agency and responsibility from them.

Which software do you use for this?
Who cares about a search engine that no one will use? People won't use a search engine that doesn't return the results the people are searching for.

Glitches happen. I'd assume there's an easy to reach switch that would make the visor of the helmet transparent.
Just like The Social Network was based on 100% fact! So was Hackers! And The Net!
