You're leaving out the most important thing they learn while here - that freedom is awesome. We spend a couple of years teaching them the benefits of free speech, of uncensored information, and they learn all the things the Party doesn't want them to know. They learn to like living the way we do and to like us in general.
Then they go home and have it all ripped away. How long before they get sick of it? How long before they tear the Party down?
Chinese students return to a government that is destructive to the ends which government is supposed to promote. They've been introduced to our Declaration of Independence. They know what to do about it.
From the summary it looks like they broke the readers into 1 and 2 space groups based on how many spaces they entered when typing. Then they discovered the 1 spacers, who apparently didn't know this utterly basic rule of grammar, read slower.
So what did they really demonstrate? That people who don't know how to write don't read very well either.
The worst aspect of the results is that in a sample of 60 college students more than half didn't know how to write! How the F do 39 out of 60 college students not know how many spaces to use?? What the F are they doing in college???
That seems a bit unfair. Like criticizing a '68 Mustang for not coming with airbags, you can't really come down on a 25+ year old game for not having a modern user interface. Yeah, the UIs may suck by current standards, but for the time they were okay-to-amazing.
The first Might and Magic (The Secret of the Inner Sanctum, 1986) was amazing. It had a deep story, crazy huge world with dungeons and overworld exploration, multiple towns, and secrets you would never expect or be able to find if you weren't making your own map with graph paper because in-game automaps didn't exist as an idea yet. It was so much fun when it came out, but I would never want to play it again because yeah, by contemporary standards it's damn-near unplayable and I'm spoiled.
The time to check a ticket is trivial, stopping secondary sales is all they care about.
While on one hand, it's good that they are - scalpers ruin the whole system for everyone else - but on the other, they're being unnecessarily deceptive and are going to make it impossible for someone to give their ticket to a friend if they can't go.
I'm guessing you're much younger than I, and thus missed the Might and Magic series, first two Fallouts, first 4 Elder Scrolls games, the Ultima series, and a bunch of others. They were all awesome, but many are probably too dated to go back and play now. CGA graphics are ugly as hell.
It refers to counties because it is a State law defining, among other things, which county will have jurisdiction. If you're in Minnesota, and you hack into a network in Fulton county (much of Atlanta), then the Fulton county sheriff's department will be the one to charge you and file for extradition.
And no, releasing passwords is not a free speech issue. If I stole your email password and posted it here, would you say, "well, that's your right"? Let's assume that I know you're on vacation and won't be checking/. or your email for a while.
Read the bill. It's short. It defines "unauthorized computer access", four kinds of access that don't count (including "cybersecurity active defense measures"), and which county will have jurisdiction.
If calcium ions are bound to enzymes, how are they going to move into cells to do their job? I guess that if the method works the enzyme must not bind very strongly, but it still seems like it should impact functionality.
And how are you supposed to get rid of it when you're done? Seems like you'd be leaving a lot of junk trapped on the wrong side of the blood-brain barrier.
If it's a Red State issue, then what's this about?
This fall, nearly 40 percent of incoming freshmen at California State University were placed in developmental math or English courses. In the state’s sprawling community college system, three-quarters of any given incoming group is deemed unprepared for college-level work when they arrive.
If you read through the article, you'll find that California's "fix" is to cover up the problem by merging the remedial courses into freshman classes so the unprepared students can get credits despite not being ready to graduate high school. Which is where the real problem lies, colleges are just being used to cover it up. At great public expense, since the law of supply and demand means costs are being increased for the students that are college-ready.
Students that aren't prepared for college-level work shouldn't be in college. They should probably still be in high school.
I'd say the real problem is that too many students are allowed to graduate when they are clearly not qualified to do so. Why do colleges offer "remedial" classes to incoming students? If a student needs remedial math at college, they should never have been allowed to graduate high school. They weren't ready.
But there are social agendas at play. Plus lousy school systems trying to cover up how lousy they are by graduating underprepared students.
Hard compared to what? You may come home physically tired after a long day's work, but there is something satisfying about it that you can't get sitting at a desk and exhausting yourself mentally. Likewise, sucks compared to what?
Wait, there's a better way to illustrate my point. Ever see Office Space?
In Seattle it might not be, but that's a city. CoL is always much higher in cities. Where I am in suburban GA, $50k/year is a good middle class wage. Likewise, that bit about $100k being the median is either crazy or specific to a high CoL region, like Seattle.

If they were going to plant evidence, why not plant the evidence they'd need to convict him of leaking?
Drinking at a small bar on Long Island.
From what I can tell, it looks like the necessary studies and surveys were done, but these two didn't like the results.

Sounds like marketing BS for, "uses sensor to determine best light level, like everything else including 40 year old TV's".
You have to go to college for that now?
Should I have specified "basic rule of American English grammar" so that you would not have mistaken it for "universal"?
Mounting all the hardware next to a CRT and making it hard to get to didn't seem like that great an idea to me. Still doesn't.
Then they go home and have it all ripped away. How long before they get sick of it? How long before they tear the Party down?

That would be the first TES game, Arena. The genre-maker.
Three inductees from the 90's, and the first videogame, from 1962. How was Spacewar not the very first inductee?
Public radio buys a software company and puts in charge the former head of the largest for-profit radio company in the nation? That's weird, right?

What sort of " Cybersecurity active defense measures that are designed to prevent or detect unauthorized computer access" would you consider?
If you could legally strike back at attackers, would you? How would you do it?
And how are you supposed to get rid of it when you're done? Seems like you'd be leaving a lot of junk trapped on the wrong side of the blood-brain barrier.
Instead of driving past, try spending time on a worksite. You may be surprised. Especially if it's a union crew.
