You have some good points about the importance of the common core.
But I do consider Asia or those other countries' students spend way more time in school than our students do and turn out well-educated students is a bias statement. Asia's mentality and culture encourage force fed education, increasing mass amount of information (the good part) that includes pointless knowledge (the bad part) that either an average adult today would have difficulty in solving or just have no meaning in solving unless it is your future study topic.
The good part ensure in average the students know more information, but the bad part's trade off is they lost so much time that they no longer have the bigger picture in terms of academic, business, and life's meaning which destroy the countries further development and innovation.
You know why apple and google are here today? It's because the founders didn't finish their studies and had decided to try an idea. You know why those countries don't? It's because they're too busy studying.
Those countries education system have reached to a point that it started to hurt their own development even without them knowing.
tl;dr been there, done that. They are just as bad.
It's because "improving the world" is relative and political. Techies 'resolve' technical problems, not political problems.
Techies are like scientist. They resolve technical problems like how to make the iphone's touch keyboard, just like scientist uncovering lithium battery's potential. People like you decide politically whether it 'improves' the world or it makes more people walk into walls while using iphone.
We don't need FBI vs Apple again to prove why 'Improving the World' or really 'Improving Your World' is relative and political. #FirstWorldProblems
when robot took your job. We all know if this happened too fast, we'll enter another great depression. But on the bright side, it means we'll have weird jobs as the norm if it happened slowly. Hackers and security expects will be in the new high. Researchers will be the new future. One in a thousand creator will be the new star. Part-time lab experimenters will be the commons. Except for rural farmers,...who will still be farming.
Now if you flip the study upside down. You get this instead.
Results showed the thinking group were far less active during the week than the non-thinkers. more thoughtful people are choosing to think what the tracking device actually do rather than to become more active throughout the day. Meanwhile, the lazy people choose to enjoy the day rather than reinventing the wheel for the tracking device.
Apparently, the scientists need to be lazier and google the smart and lazy table (straighttogo.com/clever-and-lazy).
The background is true. Some group found out a type of monitor can install firmware. That means both good stuff and bad stuff can be installed. (which can be dangerous depend on the extent)
but the article is FUD. Not all monitors have the connection to update firmware from the computer. Also, this should not be mixed up with monitors without a cpu. (aka with only the screen)
That was a downright 'friendly' approach. MS could start shipping in a mode that forbids anything but UWP by default, under some claim of improving the security of the platform.
They can (credibly) point to both Apple and Android as examples of platforms that have locked application delivery to their respective platform by default. Yes in Android you can enable sideloading (but you get shown a very 'scary' dialog about how risky it is and you really shouldn't do it), but as an application developer, you really have to let Google distribute it for you or else miss out on the market.
They did made one. It's called Windows RT with windows store apps only. and it is discontinued.

Emm, these are a few reasons you may not want to upgrade from Win8 to Win10
- Compatibility of Software - Driver Availability / without Issues or Bugs (You can install an older driver in Win10 if it works) - Windows Stability (not vulnerability. If you clean install Win10, it should have a better stability) - Separate Touch Mode (Some people favor Win8 touch features) - Controllable Update Option (In Win8, you can control windows from deleting software, auto update and resetting preference. In Win10 even after you look for all option, you can only pick either install all updates or install none) - Privacy (More settings/ items to disable around in Win10 compare to Win8. Note changes to privacy may break Win10 internet features)
and other reasons you may want to upgrade from Win8 to Win10 - Start Menu - Contana Assistant - Up-to-date Windows Store Apps - A little Faster Boot - Up-to-date Security - Task Bar Internet Search
In short, if you don't have that many games or software, you likely won't find too much Bugs or incompatibility from Win8 and upgrade to Win10 won't be too bad. If you have doubt, get yourself a new hard drive and install Win10. If you like it, you upgrade it. If not, you switch back.
So ban all public/private gun shops and private sell of guns, if they want to stay in business they have to be for the government or move to limited located with regulations. Promote tranquilizer guns/sleep gas guns to replace as a safer lighter alternative.
Note this is not a ban to stop those good or bad people from building guns, bomb, cannon, rockets in their basement or using their 1980's rifle, it only stops the $49.99 on sell gun for the go.
Also delete the existing police teams, the police system is stupid. Police shouldn't be doing everything from ticketing cars, resolve domestic issues, patrol street and shoot people, because no polices remember or follow all states and federal laws. If they do, they are called lawyers, not police. They should be separated where ticket police only care about transportation, domestic police act as middle man to stop both side from doing stupid things, and crime police only act when a thief occurred. Only then, can we trust police to help us. Otherwise, we will still need guns to protect ourselves from stupid polices that cannot stop eating donuts, meeting stupid ticket quotas, fearing for their life in emergency, punch people out in the blue and shooting brown people for free.
For counter argument that it doesn't matter the weapon the terrorists use: Yea, it really doesn't matter. When you compare the situation after they are armed with either guns, cannon or bomb, It.is.already.too.late. The victims or the officials at the site are only betting on luck of survival. Giving the victims a gun with a good aim may stop the terror, but not when it is organized. One fire only brings in more fires. Sleep gas or smoke bomb as emergency distraction may help the victims in the seconds of escape, but those all all betting on luck of survival.
The best way is still early detection. The bigger the source, the bigger terrorist's risk, the easier it is to track them. If illegal guns now has to be exported from the boundary, get the scanner. At least the source is the boundary line. If private bomb now need a basement lab for test, get the bomb dog. She's smell the source.
The Paris attack was too late from the start. However, if the authorities actually put the effort to track the source, it works better than spying on every single person. ($38k/yr to read 1mil spied image per day, who's going to find anything? oh and 459mil images to go) After the Paris attack, they tracked the bomb creator's room and stopped further terrorist attack. So it is a proven solution.
Note the above is only to decrease easy gun use, and forcing them to use alternative (and bigger and riskier) source for terror attack.
But for stopping terrorist, it has more to do with political, social, culture issues. Unfortunately with the 9/11 conspiracy, I doubt the FBI or the government is look for the solution.

I came online to post about how I should be spending time offline.
woh! a friend request!
Google Translate the following:
"I ate steak at John's place" -> Chinese -> Russian -> French -> German -> Japanese -> Italian -> English
"I ate the steak instead of John"
Good enough from not getting eaten.
I've been looking around for this. thanks!

Bill of Right let's the people bear arms,
but it didn't say the right to sell arms.
