The job of academia is to inform people, the job of (at least an american) citizen is to make their own choices and live with the consequences.
IF your consequence is that your child isn't allowed into some private schools.. well then, that's your choice. BUT public schools should not have the right to require a parent to "be a parent in whatever way the government currently sees fit" it's BS.
I really don't understand why this whole issue is suddenly EVERYWHERE in the press.. OMFG some people make bad decisions despite research, news at 11! Think of the children!.. the ones that were vaccinated and not at risk, or the ones who's parents made a choice on? Cause, i get the basic feeling that there isn't even an actual problem here..
the only REAL possible problem is the vaccinations themselves. since they aren't 100% effective, if you are in public you get a slightly more weighted dice roll on wether or not the thing even worked.. you get that by traveling to another country too.. soo should we be banning that?
it's enough to make a person go all tin-foil hat and wonder why the novaccies are being attacked in the media so urgently..
more likely scenarios include, stumbling across any cartel operation and getting killed, or being told, hey we're going to make you this offer, you'll get paid a ton, but you have to disappear, say no, and yer dead. or as a poster below says.. aliens
Sorry, 9/11 has nothing to do with this.. as much as the "watershed moment of our generation" should be blamed for.. treating a potential explosive device like this is SOP for every bomb squad.. ever... This one didn't look exactly like the other one, it had 2 pipes strapped to it with wires sticking out of it.
but hey, let's stick to the fear answer. it's working great so far.
my first thought was, after they knew about the first one.. having a second cause problems is a bit stupid.. then of course they leave out that this second student strapped two metal pipes to the side with wires sticking out of em "for stability".. and I realize just how stupid people really can be..
yeah I made this art project that looks exactly like a uhaul truck and "parked" it in front of a federal building in oklahoma.. seriously, why'd you arrest me?!
im gonna have to say, that school... isn't really a learning institution so much as a christian day care.
from your linked article: “He loves that book. They were studying the solar system and he took it to school. He thought his teacher would be impressed,” the boy's father said. He went on to explain that, after the teacher discovered that the children’s encyclopedia contained a section on pregnancy, including an illustration of a pregnant woman, bringing it in was deemed a suspension-worthy offence.
and thay can't seem to speel too wail for a news sight. Slashdot editors moonlighting?
yeah.. 9/11 that's what caused this perfectly sane reaction.. not like this has been standard procedure for every bomb squad ever.. since inception. nooo, 9/11
Sorry, this isn't a 9/11 reaction. this is the reaction to a potential explosive device. If you can be killed by being within 100 feet of something, and you're only say 20% sure of what it is, do you say.. eff it, prolly some science project or something? no, you remove it. how do you remove a potential life threatening thing? do you jiggle it around and see if it goes boom? or just make sure it goes boom in an expected way with people and property out of the way?
http://news.google.com/newspap... and that's just the FIRST news paper article that comes up when you google bomb squad but hey.. 9/11
I have no idea why this is superior to sending a web link, but this is what they do.
because then people expect their bank originated e-mails to have nice "click here" links in them so they can easily just click and enter their username and password at the handy site that.. wait, why did i have to login twice?
we just need everyone to use this ipackaging and gpackaging.. they will only work with the correct fridge though so make sure you get a compatible model!
canes will be prescribed for everything from headaches to depression cross walk signals will be extended by 15 maybe even 45 seconds! motor vehicles will require cane holder compliance by 2020 resulting in a huge bill to tax payers then come the robots.. soon if you can walk without a cane you will be given the cane until that situation resolves it's self.. then you will be required to use TWO canes!
the resulting MLC victory of the elders over the lawn-yellers will be unrelated
really wish M$ hadn't let the users mess things up from the beginning. how hard could it REALLY be to emulate "windows" for non metro apps.. instead they let neckbeards drag them back into the "i'm used to doing it this way!!!111!! vwaaaahhh!" type of development and design.
you're right, they don't.. if they did, and could EASILY, they would.. I would happily do the same. Training yourself to not be depressed is harder than taking the pill.. but the pill, whatever form it takes doesn't handle depression, it "levels the highs and lows" and should be administered along with a training regiment to teach you to "cope" with your situation.
otherwise.. you are a lost cause, which is rather depressing.
as a depressed person.. the crappy but true answer is, not being depressed, really just takes not being depressed. it's stupidly easy. Would be laughably so if I weren't depressed.
it's just so freaking haaaaaaard. why not take a pill instead? but don't kid yourself into thinking that a person can't control themselves, it's a conscious choice to take that decision out of your own hands, and give it to a doctor, and/or a pill.
I tend not to pay much attention the news, but my problem is not so much good cop/bad cop but stupid cop. Maybe I have a nostalgia goggles, but when I grew up, cops wore blue trousers and a blue shirt and shoes, like an office worker. You'd see them walking the beat and they were friendly and said hello. Now every time I see cops they have commando boots, cargo pants and a combat vest with guns and tasers and all sorts of GI Joe paraphernalia. They have visible tattoos and wrap around sunglasses and all like look like wannabe gangster thugs. It makes it hard for me to teach my kids to respect the law when the create that image for themselves.
You know what, thank you. I have a good amount of family that are LEO's and am generally quick to defend officers in general in the situations where force is used if at all possible. It's just difficult to go to work for 9 hours a day on alert for someone to make a movement that says, " bang your dead" before you are actually.. you know.. dead.
This however is a perspective that hadn't crossed my mind. There has been a shift away from the uniformed protector of the peace, and towards a tactical dress down military police look. This adds a level of intimidation to any potential interaction that could certainly add to the stress of it and turn it down the road of conflict.
I do know that the tactical gear is much better in a chase or apprehend situation, but that is it. The perception of preparation for every situation to be a high stress situation could aid in a situation becoming a high stress one.. there has to be a middle ground on this, and I wonder if there have been any studies done around this shift..
haha.. this was in the haight. They will scream any random crap there. Though to be honest.. I don't wear my glass there myself, because well.. how to put this.. the area is "full of character". you are either living under rent control, or paying 3500 a month for a 1 br.. or homeless if you live in the area. Think poor real hippies clashing with rich technohippies, as an extremely broad representation.. there are of course the dealers and hookers that just want out of the fight. Though the latter has made the case that technically they could call it "pornography" if their customer was wearing a glass. I doubt most people realize that the glass is tied to my google account, and essentially is a chunk of plastic you could use to check my e-mail if you stole it, and that's about it.. but that's not gonna stop someone whose plan is to trade it down the street for some weed.
If anything(and having to guess), the reference there was not towards the individual, but the person assumed they were a google employee. Who is opening dev centers all over the city. The moment that that happens the cost of living in that area goes up, because the google employees want to live near work. If you own a building in sf, and you can get 2-3 million for it today, and let the "next guy" deal with evicting the current residents under a loophole that allows that and bringing in the 3,500 a month per tenant people. or continue to make 300 dollars a month off of the three tenants you have. whatcha gonna do?
facts about google glass: #1 it can record for a total of 45 mins before the battery dies if the battery is at 100% capability(not capacity.. batteries degrade), on a cold day(so it doesn't melt the side of your face off) #2 a bar.. with no flash, HAHA yeah.. if you can make out an individual bar patron, let alone the person you were actually attempting to take a picture of, good luck #3 again, bars aren't well known for their lighting.. you're going to see the person's right eye "glowing" when they are taking their naughty pictures.. or checking the time, or perhaps they just laughed really hard and that activated it.
knowing the haight it went down something like this. random person: hey, is that google glass? Glasshole: yeah random person: how do ya like it? glasshole: insert positive or negative stuff here otherbarfly: ohh, google.. those things are stupid glasshole: otherbarfly: glasshole: decides to speak up/out against barfly, instead of saying to themselves.. hey, this is escalating barflys: start with the mob rule glasshole: "gets uncomfortable" and retaliates, verbally and childishly mob rule wins Everyone loses.
it's also showing a serious misunderstanding of how glass works.. it gets connected via bluetooth (for data) or wifi (for data). the images/searches/whatever go to google first.. then get dropped back to your phone via the magic of "the cloud".
they are already cached forever in google search, and available online.. blocked only by your privacy settings on g+
I suppose if you only ever used it as a bad go pro, you could in theory get away with not having the uploading "feature" there and just pull everything via USB.. but you'd have to disable bluetooth and wifi.. which means, again, all it is... is a bad camera.
I am an explorer, and have been wearing the thing for 3 months now. While an interesting self study, I haven't found a huge amount of usefulness out of it yet. Maybe it will run/. beta?
