Middle school subjects are within reach of the vast majority of the population. So if they didn't get it the first two times, it's likely due to some systemic failing not their own lack of intellect.
I assume that they wrote poetry, pursued multiple PhDs in field without a big economic payoff, volunteered doing various social services, learned a couple of new languages, and did lots of exercise to improve their health and fitness. What else would they do? Sit around and drink beer?

This doesn't add up. If a degree represents real education, you can never churn out too many. It may be "devalued" in terms of the ability to get a higher salary but you still get the same education. The education part is a non-competitive good. Knowledge wants to be free and all that. The challenge is that the cost of the degree will have to go down. The price one is willing to pay should be the worth of the intrinsic value (not affected by supply and demand) and the extrinsic value (additional earnings). If the additional earnings go away, the price/benefit ratio changes. The solution to this is not to have less people get degrees and lose the intrinsic value. The solution is to price the degree such that it is more approachable even without the extrinsic value.
Who the heck modded this down? Education has *intrinsic* value. Being an educated person is a means of bettering yourself. Just like improving your physical conditioning. The goal of higher education isn't to build job skills. That's the role of vocational education. Higher education is about making the brain smarter, a form of mental exercise. The problem is that the cost has become so high that the intrinsic value no longer justifies the expense. That's a shame. It's why non-commercial gyms (i.e. YMCA) have scholarships and why institutions of higher education have them as well. So that education can be more than just an economic decision.
20% are cases where the entity offering the ICO is really trying to create a crypto-currency. The other 80% are cases where there is pure intent to defraud. Even if the outcomes end up the same (losing all of the invested money), they are much different situations.
I doubt nothing in your statement. But PR has no money due a number of factors of which years of mismanagement is one. The inability to make necessary capital investments is a big problem.
Brave may not be the best term, but the history of aviation disasters tell us that when things go wrong, some pilots rise to the occasion and others lose their minds. See the Colgan air disaster where the the pilot panicked and pulled up against a stall. Of the Air France flight where they lost instrument panel and the copilot might as well have been giving random input. OTOH see the Concorde disaster where the pilots were informed that their entire aircraft was engulfed in flames and they calmly kept flying. So maybe brave isn't the ideal adjective, but the pilot's ability to maintain composure and do the right thing means the difference between life and death and so we should use some positive word to describe those who execute so well in these situations.
The state of South Dakota agrees with you which is why they only require this if you do a large number of transactions in the state (over $100k/year I believe)
I'm not sure I would even do that. It's a much smaller risk, but it's still a risk. Next thing you know, they prosecute the journalist and then start looking for the source. If there is a bug bounty program, I'd gladly report and take the payment. If there's not, I might be able to find a black market buyer. But it would need to fetch a price high enough to justify the risk. Admittedly selling in the black market is much less risk than responsible disclosure but it is still some risk and the standard risk/reward equations come into play. For a reward of zero, well, the risk I'm willing to take is zero. I don't like that this is the world we live in. But denying reality won't change it.
We've seen people get in trouble for reporting this mistake. At least when it comes to security lapses (Not really an apt term here since there was no security to begin with), the safe thing to do is just to walk away. I would never report a security defect unless I had a written contract to be doing penetration testing. You could argue that's not very social or responsible but I'm not taking any personal risk to help some other negligent entity who may come back and sue or prosecute me for it.
But nobody indicates what % of the library is made of original content. If it's 5% of the library, it's performing really well. If it's 50% it's performing poorly in terms of viewership. Then of course their is the measure of cost/viewership but we can't even get that far with such basic information missing.
How did this get modded up. It's like the first paragraph of the article that the is not an authorized repair shop, never claimed to be an authorized repair shop, and doens't want to be one. More importantly he imported refurbished Apple parts but never tried to sell them as OEM parts but a generic after-market parts.
What does FB do when you delete your account? Since they keep shadow accounts on non-users, does it just convert to a shadow account with no discernible effect on your privacy?
Probably because he was in a high pressure situation where he was trying to be overly precise. They certainly *do* evaluate the audio if you upload a video. Try uploading a video of your kid doing something like roller skating with music in the background. They will identify it and ask you if you think it is fair use. And they probably pull keywords out as part of this. But at minimum they may infer your taste in music. I have no idea why anybody would expect anything different if you've ever actually recorded/uploaded a video!
There's a lot of pressure in this world to be a "morning lark" as the summary states. But some people just can't do it due to their poor aerobic capacity. The solution is called a treadmill. Once their cardiovascular conditioning gets out of the terribly unhealthy range, they'll be getting up at 4am to makes sure they get to do their running before their kids wake up and then they'll be in the healthy group.
Sure people tend to go after incendiary speech that they disagree with more than incendiary speech that they agree with. And if you think of Reddit as one monolithic thing, I'd acquiesce to your point. But Reddit is trying to build the most profitable community which means accepting users with a wide variety of opinions but recognizing that some people are so obnoxious that they aren't profitable because they drive others away. They don't want to ban people for being ridiculous but they do set limits between offensive and incendiary based on whatever makes them the most money. So since it's Reddit's business, Reddit draws the line. And they are likely to do it fairly reasonably since they have a profit motive in getting it right.
No but one of the interesting things about driving is that everybody thinks they are above average! And the best drivers do not have to be twice as good as average. That depends on how large the standard deviation is. If the average driving ability is 100 on some arbitrary scale, the best drivers could be 110 and the worst 90. Or the best could be 200 and the worst 0. Without a measure of deviation, we don't know this. Admittedly some of the drivers I see do seem like zeros.

Autonomous driving predictions from an AC who can't even get their phone to enter proper text. I'm not sold.

This is not perfectly legal. It's fraud. That's why there was a case!

So the original content is 4x as popular at he crap they license. So if it costs less than 4x to produce, seems they should make a ton of it.
What percentage is original content. It's driving me bonkers that I can't find those numbers. Without them, this whole discussion is a waste.

On a scale of 100, if the worst drivers were 50, the best would only have to be 150 to balance it out. But I do agree with your point in general.

You have a bright career in marketing ahead of you.

I would agree with you. Their agenda is financial. They're a business. I thought that was implicit, but you're right, I should have stated it.
