right, there are "differences" because, inherently, the channel is different, but it doesn't affect the content...journalism is still journalism
there are myriad benefits to using the internet in the newsroom...the CMS's they have are great...very streamlined.
digital media, as you point out, is different by scale...the resources it takes to print 100,000 newspapers is much different than the resources to make an internet article that 100,000 people see
there are other obvious differences, and they matter to things like ad sales
this in no way proves TFA right or lets newspaper owners off the hook for their bad business decisions
I usually don't blame "technology" in the abstract for anything...IMHO it's too reductive of a concept to be useful and always glosses over the actual technical details
This, however, strikes me as different. This is a good thing because it communicates a *need* in a way that our modern society has made obsolete.
In the 18th Century, cities were so small and mixed that the rich **had to see the poor** daily. They had to see how they lived, open on the streets.
Today, for several reasons related to technology, the rich are able to go about their business completely obvlivious to the struggles of the poor.
Those struggles become nothing more than another voice in the din of TV/internet media...in the endless news cycle...easy to marginalize and ignore, even for a really civic-minded rich person...it's just not on their radar screen
This project aims to correct that with technology...I think it's valuable
The problem is, from a cybernetic perspective, the internet is just words, pictures and video at the presentation layer...
**its not inherently different** The **channel** for the information is different, but it's the same type of information
both a print & digital news requires a *reporter* and *editor*
a blog can never be the "paper of record"...it has to be an institutional entity with accountability
yes, of course the transition to digital formats was **mismanaged** by the non-journalism side of most news operations, but that is because the businesspeople made the same mistake TFA makes...thinking a digital news story is somehow inherently different b/c the channel is different
when I said "removed the blanket" it is a reference to the report released by the cops
this is all in the report (sorry don't have time to to google it for you) and 60 Minutes did a 2 part story on it, which you can see online, that's where I got this info
the "1 bleeding to death" sign that we all saw in the classroom window was in reference to a teacher who was shot. He lay there bleeding out for 3+ hours then died
the report released much later by the cops finally explained some of what happened...the police had secured the school at least an hour before they attended to him, and when they did, as he lay there, one of the police removed a blanket that had been put to keep him warm while he waited
that's all that's in the 60 Minutes story...IIRC the police paid out a huge settlement to that family which of course bars them from publicly commenting
i suggest checking out the 60 Minutes story if you want to know more
Let's keep Columbine out of this...there was waaaaay more going on that what we saw on news reports.
Those boys were tormented by more than schoolyard bullying, more than fellow students.
The police admitted, in their book-length report, that they *removed the blanket* from the teacher who had been shot...remember the "1 bleeding to death" sign in the classroom window? Yeah...that guy...the police admitted they removed the blanket as he lay there dying
Second, Harris and Klebold were arrested and put on probation **a year before Columbine**...that info again didn't get released until years later...the details of their first arrest are still being withheld, only one page (that looks very incriminating to a group of police) has been seen publicly
those boys were sexually abused by cops
Schools are insane now...the way the school administrator and cops handled this was insane...but Columbine was an order of magnitude worse
I love gaming and gamers. Platform, console, CPU, mobile app, web based, javascript, retro, LCD one-color sports games...all of it...played it, usually loved it. I even love ridiculous vaporware like Duke Nuke 'em 3D or w/e it was...b/c LOL...right?
I just stopped gaming after I finished college.
I think this study needs to take into account that high-level gaming can taper dramatically due to age/interest.
I'd like to see people who have a financial stake at being good at games over 5+ years compared.
I have mini-renaissances...I taught my dad how to play the Tiger Woods golf on xbox & he became better at it than me, with a whole bunch of online friends...I still pwn at Mario Kart no matter what anytime anywhere and can pretty much hang with Tetris grand masters on the game boy version...
see...i used to be a gamer...but now I just don't really give a shit...
Actually it can't. That's kind of the point of git.
so 'git' is just unhackable...its perfectly secure...no way someone could've put a gun to the guy's head while he sat in front of his computer to make these changes...
if I was the criminal/CIA agent, i'd actually help the guy with an alibi..maybe tell him to claim it "was an accident"
no way that people would infect a system ***and*** lie about it...b/c that never happens simultaneously/sarcasm
look at policy votes...on a specific issue, not your troll rhetoric...issues like:
abortion taxation (who gets tax breaks) creationism in textbooks women's rights free speech net neutrality
on and on...you name the issue and Republicans are on the wrong side of it
if you want to continue, name a policy that is actively being voted upon right now and let's look together at it...
while democrats are a big tent, containing progressives, Clinton-era liberals, centrists/moderates and others...all of whom form a lose coalition...conversely, Republicans speak the same talking points (dictated from their financiers) and vote in lockstep
The article is an illustration of a journalist discovering the fact that as a journalist he knows not the slightest fuck what he is on about when he starts talking about the future of tech. It says nothing else about how the rest of us understand the future of technology though.
right?
TFA barely talks about actual technology or issues of "futurism"...
so much of what everyday people see in the media about tech is utter bullshit...IMHO it measurably costs us $$$
Rep Congress forces government shutdowns **as a regular negotiating tactic**
Rep financiers and Congress hold gun to the face of American people..."pass our farm bill or watch your retirement die"
This is all about Republican obstructionism...that's the **only way** bullshit laws like this get into a rider on a Farm Bill
All Dem's can do is either **not have a farm bill** and a **shutdown government** or they can let the bullshit law pass, then fix it after people complain
That's the breakdown of the real situation, that's why this is the GOP's fault
The GOP is wrong on virtually all the issues b/c they operate for funding from donors, not to be competent legislators.
In ***unnatural*** concentrations anything is a pollutant.
Our modern industrial society makes by-products of type and/or **scale** that **hurt nature**
Scale is key. Nuclear waste is pollution b/c of its radioactivity (found in nature)...CO2 is pollution b/c of the **scale** it is being unnaturally produced
All pollution is harmful b/c it *distrupts nature's perfect system*
Chrometeachers need laptops, sure but it's not the essential tool of Chromeeducation.
For some Chromereason, I feel like TFA is taking benefits of ***USING ANY LAPTOP*** and recasting them as Chromebenefits of using one company's product
I explained I was criticizing her acting choices and going off of **her own descriptions** of her professional choices & her approach to the role...that's totally fair game to criticize

stop bullshitting me, yourself, and all of /.
YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN
your policy positions are virtually identical
just accept it and move on...this discussion certainly cannot continue with your rhetorical nonsense
I love gaming and gamers. Platform, console, CPU, mobile app, web based, javascript, retro, LCD one-color sports games...all of it...played it, usually loved it. I even love ridiculous vaporware like Duke Nuke 'em 3D or w/e it was...b/c LOL...right?

see...i used to be a gamer...but now I just don't really give a shit...
you are, by policy position, a Republican.
just the way you answer the "women's rights" issue...
The Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Act was killed by the GOP
you're trolling not having an honest discussion
so 'git' is just unhackable...its perfectly secure...no way someone could've put a gun to the guy's head while he sat in front of his computer to make these changes...

you make the logical fallacy of false equivalence
Yes, we can trace the changelogs in the software & note who was checking the changes and missed them, but that all can be circumvented.
The fact is we don't know if Heartbleed was an honest mistake or not...we don't know who knew and when...we don't know alot
FOSS is nowhere in the conversation, btw...this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that this was Open Source project.
Private company's products have ridiculous security issues...comparing this to that is not helpful.
right?
TFA barely talks about actual technology or issues of "futurism"...
so much of what everyday people see in the media about tech is utter bullshit...IMHO it measurably costs us $$$
I can't imagine a more stupid, reductive way to vote.
If you see on TV that Tyson's brand chicken strips are being recalled, you don't go throw out all your bacon and ham cold cuts.
Republicans are the source of **every bad policy** in government now
Republicans are the source of **every reason why we can't change**
Vote them out.
Rep Congress forces government shutdowns **as a regular negotiating tactic**
Rep financiers and Congress hold gun to the face of American people..."pass our farm bill or watch your retirement die"
This is all about Republican obstructionism...that's the **only way** bullshit laws like this get into a rider on a Farm Bill

I'm going to second the request for a source...this sounds like something a redneck says at a dive bar in Charleston
this is a problem ****across academic disciplines**** and not in any way related to tech specifically.
dropping out of college is a reductive concept...and using people like Jobs or Gates as examples is patently foolish
if you realize your college **program** sucks, transfer to one that doesnt
if you realize your career goals cannot be reached through a degree, then drop out
if you want to have a **career** in tech, get a degree in tech
these stupid studies are so reductive & leave out so many salient factors...disregard!
jeez i'm trolling myself....i misread your post...holy crap...
sorry...you were agreeing with me and my previous comment will not make any sense
i need to just stop posting in this thread
I said:
"In ***unnatural*** concentrations anything is a pollutant."
You can't counter that.
ex: Salt.
Sodium Chloride...its food for crying out loud! Everyone has it in their homes! We give it to babies! How can it be pollution??? WTF?
Dump 1,000 of salt onto a field and it becomes fallow.
****THATS POLLUTION****
same with CO2
In ***unnatural*** concentrations anything is a pollutant.
Scale is key. Nuclear waste is pollution b/c of its radioactivity (found in nature)...CO2 is pollution b/c of the **scale** it is being unnaturally produced
All pollution is harmful b/c it *distrupts nature's perfect system*
Pollution disrupts in many ways.
I've never understood the controversy...does anyone think that pollution isn't harmful?
Our modern industrial society makes by-products of type and/or scale that **hurt nature**
No one, absolutely no one, even the climate change "deniers" can contradict this fact.
It's about government regulation...that's the only thing that keeps companies from unscrupulously disposing of their waste.
Companies do not want regulation...that pretty much explains the entire "climate debate"
Chrometeachers need laptops, sure but it's not the essential tool of Chromeeducation.

thnx for an informed opinion
if Google Glass's product development people had half the sense you do about everyday tasks the rollout wouldn't be so awkward
one thing I'd add is that all the benefits these people taut of using Google Glass are actually benefits that can come from using **any video camera**
you dont need Google Glass to take video
what?
google glass won't keep...um...people from bribing each other...they can just exchange the money at another time
it's good in a way that techies are so naive when it comes to criminality
this whole thing was some hot idea by some "product development" person who knows absolutely nothing about the **actual task**
yes...they could use **any kind of video camera**...including the old fashioned kind not strapped to your face
totally subjective and highly debatable
I addressed your point **in my post**
I explained I was criticizing her acting choices and going off of **her own descriptions** of her professional choices & her approach to the role...that's totally fair game to criticize
