I've had no problems with PIA, yet... I am going outside the US to get content from other countries. I'm also not running the VPN client on my devices, it's on the router.
That's because the companies don't trust their own workers. They lump all kind of things into security and a big chunk of it is consulting from people who aren't really IT. IT security is not as good a career track as it looks like from the outside.
Education is all about local control, it's a conservative dream. Common Core introduces some non-locally controlled standards for everyone to meet, but your on your own to fix the other stuff.
I clearly said it started in 2009. I know it didn't catch on before then. I have an almost 15 year old who has had no exposure to common core. I remember noticing the different way my younger kids were doing math problems. To be honost, I didn't always agree with the way my older daughter was taught math. I had to show her alternative methods and assure her that I would back her up with the teacher if she used the method that worked best for her. That's pretty much what the Common Core (for math) does today.
As illustrated by this thread, abundantly, dumb people don't know their own limitations. There have been plenty of studies that show how real the Dunning-Kruger effect is.
sure, because that's a new problem. I've seen this for decades. Most people can't do math in their head, and most cashiers today didn't learn common core, which, as established above, started around 2009. I would posit that common core might make it easier for people to do simple math in their head.
Save the complex paper techniques for people who really need to do hard math.
I have more of a problem with the speed math that my children's school pushes. So many problems in 2 minutes... I think it works fine for alot of kids, but it just drives anxiety in my kids. I tell them to do the work, but don't worry about failing to make the time and I back them up when the teacher talks about it. Most of them don't like it either and I've never had a problem.
I suggest others try developing a working relationship with their childs teacher and communicating. If the first time they hear from you is a rage out, you will get a different response then a parent who volunteers and then sends a politely worded inquiry suggesting a change in lesson plan or modification in the expectations for your child.
Bad teachers and admins, not bad systems. However, there is nothing wrong with docking a student who doesn't follow directions. My child has demonstrated time and again he doesn't like peas, I still make him try them. Children need to learn to fail as well as learn to succeed.
OK, who's in the fantasy world now. Hard work does not guarantee prosperity, it doesn't even correlate well with it. I love hard work and hard workers, but I don't think providing for others hurts them. I think it gives them more freedom. Imagine a world where you don't have to avoid homeless people or worry those kids terrorizing your neighborhood because their parents are both working low wage jobs and nobody is home to supervise them.
So, gut the safety net and give away money to researchers who will privatize any discoveries? Where do I sign up. Taxes are a necessary evil. They should absolutely be born by the wealthier, because they get more benefits from society.
Well, no. In rural areas, you may be able to make back your firearm money with hunting. In an urban or less rural area, unless it is a business expense, you'll never make your money back. Legitimate businesses that require gun ownership are somewhat rare and have generally higher bars for entry, so the assumption is that it will be used for criminal enterprise.
In no way am I implying that gun owners are criminals, or tend to be criminals. I am pointing out that the up-thread comparison to a vehicle is specious. Gun owners have firearms for many reasons, but they shouldn't really be considered an investment. Some go up in price, but not much. Most decrease in price. I know this firsthand. I tried to help my father-in-law sell off some very nice and expensive rifles and shotguns. They were not worth anything near what he paid for them and he ended up holding onto them until they were "confiscated" by a family member due to suspected senility. I don't know who has them now and I wish I could have purchased them from him.
I disagree, and i think most people would disagree. There are numerous statues that spell out things beyond a paycheck that are expected by employees. Especially if one is working a career and not a "temp" job, one expects the company to be there tomorrow and a labor investor has the same long term interest (probably more) then a capital investor.
True, the South killed Detroit with it's institutional racism that was incorporated into the Federal government in the early 20th century.

Why can't a I search movies by rating? I can block everything, but I can't search for a pg or g rated movie easily.
What, you don't want some local celebrity to read buzzfeed to you?

Plenty of localities do it right.
Not true, the peas would have to be mashed first, and probably thinned.

Visual, might not be the right words. Since this is new, I don't see how it could be the driving factor behind lack of women in STEM.
When I say visual, I mean a way the teacher can demonstrate without trying to verbally explain a thought process.

Why don't you come up with a better way to visualize the mental process this is illustrating?

So, your ability to make an amount well above any UBI doesn't count? It's not enough that you win, everyone else must fail?
Is that you Ghengis Khan?

It's clearly the best use of our tax dollars and easiest way to stabilize the economy. We'll get there eventually.
Yeah, all this infrastructure was for 1 wire (for phone), now that were moving back to 1 wire (for internet), it's not really any different.
Capitol investors have been coddled too long, labor investors deserve the same consideration.
I commented above, but this deserves a +1 Honest Truth Mod point.
