You don't want armed teachers who can pass a CCW process...
We can't afford to station multiple police officers strategically at every school... (most depts would see an extreme increase in manpower costs)
So what is your solution? The status quo, which is draw a magic line around the school, declare "this be a circle of protection, no demons, ghouls or criminals shall cross its magical boundaries" and hope for the best?
Maybe we should look at what has changed in our society between the time when we didn't have school shootings, and the time when we do.
Sorry to get all logical. Back to you guys, "party of science"...
Get a passport and leave the country when you can. The world is not as scary as the talking heads are telling you it is.
It's scarier, actually... and I have traveled the world, largely outside of hipster destinations.
That said, that doesn't explain why we "need" facial recognition cameras in schools, in our country.
We didn't have a school shooting problem at all until the age of modern hipsterism, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that something has changed, and that the problem is not the lack of facial recognition cameras.
I just learned gnome has its own fucking virtual filesystem for things like removable drives. That is something the OS should be handling not your goddamn window manager.
I vaguely remember Gnome having a browser component, for things like help files (which I guess could make sense, and which KDE had as well).
>> non-fraternization policy
Non fratzernization ? What's this kind of BS ?
Well known to any military.
Officers can't socialize with enlisted. (And, possibly, senior enlisted can't socialize with junior enlisted.)
It's detrimental to good order and discipline. Either you end up giving/getting special treatment - intentionally or not - or else others think you do, are suspicious that you are, etc.
You... think communism stopped being a problem in the 1950s?
You do realize that China is a communist dictatorship, right? A real dictatorship, not like here where you just play at calling your political opponents "dictators".
Christians believe that they (like all humans) are sinful and in desperate need of forgiveness. That nothing they can do can earn that forgiveness; it must be a gift from outside of them, from Jesus. That they themselves are so bad that only the death of a perfect, sinless Man can atone for it.
ErrP signals have been known for decades. What did these people do? Hook up a muscle monitor to (badly) control a robot if a ErrP signal is detected? Is this what the top engineering universities are producing? I thought AI robots were right around the corner...
It's just one possible input.
I can see an application already, knowing someone with missing limbs.
"AI-assisted Robot arm, do {some moderately complex task}".
We've had newsgroups and email lists that have been 100% free since the start of the Internet. 25ish years later, people are PAYING for these same services, AND are giving the service 100% of their personal data. Wow. You've come a long way, baby!
And Facebook is exactly where they went.
I watched email group after email group die; "hey we're moving to Facebook, everyone!"
(well, OK, my web dev and programming groups died because of StackExchange, but all the rest of them)
We keep being told how much better the EU is than the US - but then they do something awful like this, which is much, much worse than anything that would be seriously proposed in the US.
There's copyright infringement enforcement, and then there's "fascism disguised as protecting copyright."
And it's so wasteful. In the US we just outsource the fascism to be handled by Facebook and non-profit agitating groups, for free!

I see the gnome devs have arrived, lol

This is impressive, in a ham-fisted way ...
There's still a gnome specific web browser?

I have never contemplated the harshness of the chewing involved for a burger ... big ol slab of pork, yes, burger, no ...

Seriously, how is this a surprise to anyone?
Or, there are more of them left where there are less predators.

... is the "Think of the children," model.
Especially damning is the "Communist," reference.
To make anything great again you gotta go back.
Say hello to 1950.

basically saying that meditation makes you less motivated to put your nose to the grindstone for The Man.
Or for yourself. Or for your neighbor. Or for your kids. Or for your aging parents. Or ...
Motivation ain't just for "the man".
Hurr durr, my pet belief is totally awesome! You just don't understand!
- every crank ever
The worst of those being those whose pet belief is that all beliefs are equally right or wrong.
Except, of course, their own belief that "all beliefs are equally right or wrong". That belief is awesome!
Buddhists would have left their ego on the mat.
Right ...

Such arrogance!

Robot arm starts to do it.
Brain (non verbally) "hey, you're doing something wrong!"
Wait, you mean that dabbling in cherry picked pieces of other cultures' spiritual practices might be some sort of dilettante-ish thing??

"Hack" - 2018 definition: nobody even fucking knows anymore, and this word is used and abused by everyone to mean anything they want it to mean.
Try this one cool hack!

You're welcome, taxpayers :)
>> ride-hailing company The word you are looking for is "taxi", as in "Uber is a taxi company"
But without dispatchers, man! Without dispatchers!! It'll blow your mind, it's freaky awesome, dude!
Why would anyone want this information?
The only reason for a list like this is to encourage harassment of these individuals just for working somewhere that asshole doesn't agree with.
Yep, exactly.
We used to settle political disagreements with boring old voting and stuff. No more!
Who's the shift foreman, Sheriff Joe?
Does Facebook have some contractual obligation here? They can delete anyone's account anytime they want, can't they?
If they are magically a public utility now, we'll have to have words with them about many, many more things than just this,
Exactly, it's the difference between secrecy and privacy. You know what parts I have, yet I still cover them up anyway.
I've been waiting for non-white non-males to say "um" a lot for a LONG time now!
