It was the Puritans who started the war on Christmas (or any European festivals). It's thanks to the raucous and irreverent waves of immigrants who arrived later that people in the USA are allowed to celebrate and enjoy themselves.
I wonder if Google are also blocking images from art and literature that show the naked human form?
I think we're beyond critical mass. Facebook is where everyone goes online to find everyone else, at least in north America and western Europe. People wanna go where their friends, family, and acquaintances are. How are we gonna convince everyone to migrate to the same service at the same time? Advertise it on Facebook?
I say it would be more practical to regulate Facebook. We could start by making their data gathering, usage, and redistribution practices transparent in ways that are meaningful to users (i.e. so as to achieve true informed consent). Then we could look at ways to hold Facebook and its clients accountable for misuses, abuses, and incompetence.
Regulate Facebook in the same way that we've decided it's a good idea to regulate government: Transparency and democratic oversight. It sounds boring and not very techie but you know, it's not really a technological problem, it's a political one.
As the saying goes, "Without data, you're just another opinion."
When the independent, reproducible research evidence shows learning gains that justify the expense, then it's worth considering buying the hardware. The last 20 years of education research (when reporting effect sizes actually become common practice) say otherwise.
On the "learning by doing" side of pedagogy, which "interACTIVE" apps fall into, it often fails dramatically because app designers and teachers are poorly informed about what it takes to learn from doing something. In Graham Gibbs' words, "Much can be learned from doing but seldom only from doing." Under these circumstances, so called "discovery learning", which is how it usually plays out in real-world classrooms, has consistently led to reductions, not gains in learning.
Show me one K-12 curriculum on iPad that is anywhere near as effective as an average textbook. Textbooks have charts, tables, diagrams, illustrations, and infographics too, BTW. Plus, video and animations for learning in all but a small number of use-case scenarios aren't any more effective.
Or even show that the pedagogies and tools that they intend to adopt have some decent independent controlled research evidence that shows exactly how effective they are, i.e. research that establishes causal relationships and measures effect sizes.
They can also do that with textbooks, which are much cheaper and more durable. BTW, adaptive testing (what the pundits now call "personalised learning") is no better than just studying everything in the book as most pupils already do. In fact, in some cases, it actually leads to lower learning gains because pupils spent so much time on repeating some items that they didn't spend enough time studying everything else, i.e. insufficient "strengthening" of foundational knowledge.
There's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics. More dead crew members, according to that article, wore red shirts than any other colour. 24/55 in total.
Could easily be part of the on-going trade war that the USA is waging against China. Claiming national security is a strategy that both the USA and China use to cut out each others' companies from competing with their homegrown/alternatives, e.g. the Chinese govt. switching from Windows to Ubuntu.
Even at a lower price, this is a lot of money for cash-strapped education systems to be paying for a gadget. So what's the benefit of pupils having iPads in the classroom? Show me the objective evidence that they serve some educational benefit to pupils that outweighs the negative research evidence available today, e.g. that reading texts on electronic screens results in substantially lower comprehension?
Tax payers are paying for these so companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, et a., should be held publicly accountable and show how their devices provide good educational RoI.l
That's what I immediately understood the question to be about when I read it. Yeah, those poor, unnamed red shirts who beam down almost always become the first casualty of some gruesome and unusual death - the first sign that there is something malignant upon the visited planet.
I'm not a security or encryption expert so I seek the advice of those who I trust. Bruce Schneier and Edward Snowden recommend Signal. That seems to indicate that Signal is as good as it gets for consumer privacy.
Make me wonder if China has any Disney World resorts and what they look like. And do their characters get rounded up from time to time an interrogated for political dissent? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix...
...would be to delete Facebook's databases and make them start all over again from 0. It'd help break up their monopoly too.
Also, install all Facebook's apps on Zuckerberg's phone that he has to keep on 24/7 and with him at all times and publish all the data they collect as a public live feed.
And publish a live feed of all purchases of Facebook's users' data in detail; who they are and who they represent (e.g. Cambridge Analytica representing the Trump campaign), what data and services they purchased (e.g. all your data), and what they're using it for (e.g. govts. to crack down on political dissent or to manipulate popular political sentiments).
That should provide enough information for would be Facebook users to pour over so that they can give their informed consent.
...further manoeuvres to position itself as the predominant gatekeeper and controller of news. If we let them do that too much, most of our news will be reduced to that which is profitable to Google, regardless of whether it serves the public good.
It seems to me like Bitcoin would be a great place to publish leaked documents and perform whistle-blowing activities. That could be one actually useful purpose for blockchain:)

Naaah. Easier to regulate Facebook, mate.
Didn't say that most countries were, just that we've decided it's a good idea. You know, an aspiration kind of thing.
OK, hands up who's read Google Drive's terms of service?

This is an un-Murican thing to do. To think of the consequences of one's actions and to reduce consumption. Those traitors!

Perhaps Zuckerberg saw this ad and didn't realise it's satire? https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (South Park CtPaTown)
I can't wait to see Zuckerberg personally do some community outreach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... - South Park compilation :)))
The only way to tell that traces of narcotics are on bank notes is to run chemical tests. Most people, who handle money, have no idea that it's there.
