To be fair, while it is tempting to put the blame squarely on her shoulders, it is probably not her own fault that she grew up with such a sense of entitlement.
If she didn't learn this before, this will be an opportunity to learn. Unfortunately for her, it may be a painful experience. But she'll learn, and in 5 years she will have a job and this will all be a bitter memory, with loan payments.
Her family/school are likely very much to blame though, for not teaching her how the world works.
All people, even teenagers, are capable of learning stuff on their own. Family and school can't teach you everything.
Perhaps people in the school did try to teach her how the world works, and she simply didn't understand or didn't pay attention.

WebDAV? FTP over SSL/TLS?

Have many groups looked at WebSAV or FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) as a replacement for FTP?
1. Encrypted communication, using the industry standard TLS or SSL. 2. WebDAV offers the power and maturity of Apache HTTPD. I believe that several of the mature FTP packages also support FTPS. 3. Apache authentication options include Radius, LDAP, etc. and are generally easy to install, provided you have the infrastructure.
I still mostly use SFTP. However, the design of FTPS looks a little more elegant and standards-compliant.
I'm webdav (or Subversion, which uses WebDAV) as a possible tool for simple editing and publishing data to a website on the local network, using FreeBSD, Apache 2.x.
Why do you think that WebDAV has been slow and unreliable? Is it due to your implementation? Do you know if the problems were client-side, server-side or both?
HTTP is a pretty robust protocol, Apache is a pretty robust server. It seems like WebDAV would be a simple and robust, but I am reading about other stability problems as well. In addition, few people use WebDAV. I can't find many details or good articles which suggest why.
You can use a Virtual Credit Card number, which is a temporary credit card which is tied to your main CC account. I believe both Visa and Mastercard offer these, or it's issued by the bank who issued your credit card.
I don't think Dow Jones is targeting the average consumer, but are targeting higher-end financial consumers, investors, financial advisers, etc. Maybe they are mostly "old" people;)
In the financial world, there are still plenty of vendors who charge for their content-- Barron's, financial newsletters, Bloomberg's "Professional" news products, etc.
Overall, these vendors generally (But not always) provide good-quality, in-depth articles and opinions. People will read their copy of Barron's like a student reads a book, complete with bookmarks and highlighters.
While the free sites are cheap, many of the news sites are filled with noise, the forums are filled with scams (The comments at finance.google.com are entertaining to read).
It doesn't make sense to spend on Mississippi and Louisiana because of Hurricane Katrina, because you are just subsidizing people living in a dangerous area.
Many people live in a dangerous area. What's the alternative? Should people vacate Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida because of the hurricanes? California because of the earthquakes? The Northeast because of the snow and ice storms? The Midwest because of the tornadoes, floods and extreme winters?
Mississippi and Louisiana make some sense due to Hurricane Katrina spending among other things.
Mississippi and Louisiana have had a high federal spending per dollar of tax paid for a very long time, long before Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana has had a notoriously high amount of corruption for a long time, although I read it's been getting better recently.
But Mississippi and Louisiana has alot of politicians screaming for a smaller federal government, when they receive alot of federal aid. It's hypocritical.
I'm fine with using my taxes to help repair some of damage to these states, as long as it's done right. Floods, earthquakes, storms, ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes-- most of us live in some sort disaster-prone area anyways, and the federal government can help to mitigate the impact of a disaster and help to get the region and economy back on it's feet.
But of course, yesterday's article in the National Review makes it seem like nobody ever thought of this problem before until now. In reality, this problem has been widely discussed.
Then why have humans in the Supreme Court at all? Why not just have computers do the work?
We have Judges because the law is often ambiguous and imperfect, and someone needs to interpret the law. There are different ways to interpret the law, and no human will be perfectly impartial, and all judgments will at least partially reflect the judges ideology.
I remember Chief Justice Roberts gave a speech on impartiality when he was nominated, and yet I'm pretty sure most of his decisions come from one side of the political/legal spectrum.
Yes, a three story amusement park style water slide in a public school. That is NOT a problem with underfunding.
Are you sure the waterslide was funded by taxes? It sounds like that sort of waterslide may have been funded by donations and fundraisers, which can be completely separate from any sort of state funding problems.
A similar argument could be made in funding these small, remote country roads.
It's fine to pave some of those roads, but they should probably be funded at a low priority or at low cost. Where I grew up, I remember when the county converted long 20-mile dirt roads to pavement, even though only a few dozen people lived out on those roads. Funding a freeway makes some sense, since much of our economy is dependent on the transportation of goods.
Michigan must have thousands of miles of paved roads. Reverting 50 miles of road to gravel in Michigan over past three years is not a big problem.
not increase an already-high and completely-unrelated gas tax
I was expecting you to end that with "property tax";)
I certainly wouldn't want to try this tactic anywhere out west though, where vast distances make driving on gravel roads much more of a chore.
In many cases, there are multiple roads to a destination. Some will remain paved, other will be gravel. The paved roads are used for longer distances, the dirt roads are more for local access.
This was the case in rural coastal California in the 80s. And I've seen plenty of dirt roads in Nevada, Arizona & Utah. But the highways and major roads were still paved.
Some drivers might need to adjust their habits. I'm reading plenty of comments here about "increased breaking time", 'I can't go 50 mph on a dirt road', etc. In these cases, drivers just need to slow down-- it's what people used to do.
We don't have to pave every single remote rural road, especially at a time when we're closing schools.
But ZFS makes Time machine much easier to implement, maintain and far, far more performant.
ZFS and Time Machine may have Snapshots and other similar-looking features, but they are very different codebases. It is probably difficult to adapt existing HFS utilities to a different filesystem.

Technology should be applied where it can make education more efficient, and where we can afford it.
However, technology doesn't always make everything more efficient. In some cases, technology will be inferior to a traditional equivalent.
