I've got an iPad that a love. My issue isn't with Apple, I just think the size is going to be too small to use effectively. I used my iPad for notetaking, textbooks, internet access, email, etc. for my last semester of school and I can't imagine trying to do work on something the size of a Mini.
I don't have a problem with tablets or Apple as a choice. I have a problem with the *Mini*. Far too small to take notes on and I'd never be able to comfortably read on something with a screen that small.
One one hand, as he says he could've made a ton of money selling this hack to a spammer and ended up harassing MILLIONS of users. On the other hand, hacking a CEOs account isn't the most diplomatic or responsible way to handle the situation and it sounds like his English is a little rough. If you're a locksmith, staging a break-in probably isn't the best way to get a bank's business.
There was an article about this a few years back. Basically, the costs of college are so high that families are disassociated from the costs of repaying them if they're taking out government-subsidized loans. So, there's no difference between a $5K/semester school or a $7.5K/semester school when you have to borrow and won't pay off for 4 years anyway. People think, "damn this is expensive" which includes a wide range of prices. Schools have figured this out and know that whatever they charge for tuition they'll get from the government to some extent. It's not like profit-motivated banks are going to stop giving out loans. It's in the interest of the government to educate the workforce in a technical age. Add to that a crappy market where even secretary positions ask for college educations. Schools know how valuable their diplomas are, so they dangle them over our heads on a platinum barb.
That's the design. You're supposed to get lost while you generate clicks getting distracted by Kardashian stories and blind links that send you to sections and not headlines you're looking for.
That is silly. One of the great features of the internet is that you can debate freely and anonymously. I don't want everything I say or have ever said turned into a googlable permanent record. I sometimes change my mind. I sometimes say stupid things. I sometimes make "too soon?" jokes. I don't want permanent records of every utterance. Online forums are places for informal discussions. If I tell you a dirty joke after work, it doesn't get indexed for the next 20 years. I'm not writing a law school dissertation on how I feel about the 2nd amendment with every post. And, I don't want my silly or crude Kristen Stewart jokes showing up when an employer looks me up. This is probably nothing more than analytics and adding another notch in your marketing profile. It's simple to do what Slashdot does and allow the community to self-police. Mod the trolls out of existence and there's no problem.
I had my account deleted years ago when they went from a news site to an agenda site. I've very liberal mind you, and even I had comments deleted that didn't match the party line (including reminding everyone under a feel-good article that Gavin Newsome had cheated with an employee's wife and wasn't some kind of saint). I just couldn't tolerate the naked agenda-driven slant and how even other liberal opinions weren't accepted. I've had admins jump into threads and argue with me and threaten deletions. I've been online since 1991 and that's the only time I've had an account wiped, so I'm no troll. I haven't tried commenting out there in years, so I don't know what there forums are like now.
I'd blame it more on the scientists (and their organizations). There are all kinds of self-serving reasons for a lab to convince people they're on the verge of some great breakthrough. I've been hearing about cancer cures 5 years down the road for about 20 years now.
They don't, but they're definitely a part of it. That twitchy muscle strength is what gives you the ability to react quickly. Troy Polamalu, the Steelers player, has a workout routine that's based on fast, "explosive" movements with relatively low weights. I've felt that loss of reactive muscles as I get older and still have a lot of the coordination I had, just not the reactive strength to do things as quickly.
Steroids aren't banned because they're unfair. They're banned because in some cases their harmful and in others we don't completely know what they do to people. I had friends in college who were big roiders and they had all kinds of mental issues and the stereotypical aggression. IMO a lot of the mental problems we're seeing in some football players are probably more attributed to PEDs than head trauma as there isn't much consistency with who suffers and who took the most headshots.
Besides, I am not of the opinion that players should have to compete against guys using illegal PEDs when they *may* be sacrificing their future well-being in doing so. You're basically telling every bubble player he has to roid up to compete or maintain his livelihood. That's why so many baseball players are pissed at the steroids generation of baseball players with inflated stats that will probably never been touched.
The last thing I want to see is some "lol cool" video of firefighters trudging through the burning ruins of my life. I think it's bad enough that 911 calls are made public. Those calls are made in desperate, personal times in a victim's life and they get turned into reality tv for the Nancy Grace's of the media. No need to add video to the soundtrack of my life in flames.
Don't get sucked into the notes trap though. I learned the hard way you can easily find yourself writing so much down that you're in a dictation cycle and not really processing what the lecturer is saying. You have to find the balance of doing the compression on the fly just to preserve the thought. I actually found that I'd reread notes and expand some comments to clarify what I'd condensed during the lecture. This way you don't fall behind during the lecture and still have enough pure listening time to process or even engage the professor.
I used a tablet to take notes and actually DID take notes. I usually sat in back of the class (I'm a little agoraphobic) and could see most students in front of me. The people who were using their laptops to type out notes were never able to stick with it for long. It was too compelling a distraction. My guess is it's a combination of the utility of surfing/goofing in combination with the impracticality of note-taking on a laptop.
We have an established democracy. Congress would immediately vote for impeachment and remove him from office with that kind of overwhelming sentiment. The problem is, Egypt is relying on an interim prime minister to facilitate the transition to a stable democracy and doesn't have a Legislative counterbalance to their executive. Seeing Morsi go was a seemed like the right thing to do, but I'm not too confident Egypt has their George Washington.

Or positing it? After the vacuum tube BS stories, I refuse to read another Elon Musk-slobbering fest article.
Everything you said is moot if she's into it as well. And, you're making some titanic deductive leaps about their relationship.

It's cheaper, but what sucks is you can't resell. I saved about 1/2 on my texts in my last semester.
I had one glorious semester where that worked. Lots of renewals (working at my school library helped a lot).

Schools have been milking students via government loans for decades now.

Could they be proactively stopping another feedback loop?

No, nor do I know what it would be relevant. Which is why my post is stated in the form of a QUESTION.
I've seen domesticated hawks used to scare fowl off of runways which seems to have more "staying power".

Why is this modded informative? This is an individual showing us is personal experience, not an Apple-sanctioned tech audit.
No no. It's more lithiumy.
I watched news all morning and I saw the 95 number quoted on 3 different MSM sources.
