I am a bit older and I got to avoid my not really friends from being able to exploit embarrassing moments. In that regard "I do not have the right" to argue that a younger generation should lose their chance to allow poor choices to disappear over time. For a younger generation that choice remains theirs to collective decide.
In this case it is even more pathetic. It is the current Australian government sucking up to the US government due to the political fetish of the current leader of the Labour government being led by their personal infatuations with American political power.
A narcissist being lead by her ego without due regard for the ramifications to the Australian public, the opposition leader is just as bad, if not even worse.
The big advantage for Australians is they can apply pressure to sitting representatives to kick manipulative narcissist out and don't have to wait for the next election to drive change in the current government. US marine bases without oversight, ACTA without public review and, now writing new guilty until proven innocent and no right to privacy laws being written out public review. All of this being driven by one suck up wanting to publicly feed their own ego.
Now everyone is learning the true ramifications of patent first laws versus first to invent laws.
Patent office search, is it already patented, no, patent it. Prior art, common knowledge, obvious, all of it thrown out of the window for, is it already patented.
Now you have dick companies like Apple patenting the obvious to anticompetitive and hence criminally block competition not permanently but in true psychopath form, sufficiently long for a marketing advantage.
The straight up in full public view abuse of patent laws, anti trust laws and a basic big 'fuck you' to any body who doesn't want to buy their products.
This is even uglier than you think. It is basically a licence for incumbent telecoms to data mine their customers 24/7. It's like it was written by them to allow carte blanche interception of all their customers communications.
It is also a powerful tool for political black mail ensuring the government in power can monitor and control their own sitting representatives and also target opposition representatives. Any site they or their family visited can be used against them in the next election.
It has absolutely nothing to do with policing at all. In fact the whole thing can be readily corrupted with simple tools like track me not http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/ which obfuscates searches. So new tools that completely randomly access sites in the background.
Note that for political blackmail of political attack adds, those are no protection because the accusation can still be levelled for maximum political benefit during the election cycle. Of course for policing obfuscating technology is a great defence, burying peoples access under ten times, a hundred times even thousands of times more random garbage data.
Definitely still the work of incumbent data mining Telecom who can't see beyond their own greed.
Do you know the real reason why adds are targeted at people and not at content?
Well marketing companies do not really market to people buying products and services they market to people selling products and services. So in a big PR move they started going on about being able to target adds at people. Now quite correctly that means aligning adds with content, right add at the right time but this is very expensive, content has to be reviewed and valued for very add placement.
So the cheap automated solution was marketed, target adds at people. Not review of content required, all they had to do was scam people who sell products and services and get them to believe in would work in order to get them to pay for it.
Reality is, it doesn't really work, it if often off putting and annoying and they might as well put up those full page adds that people truly hate and learn to loathe the product and company advertised.
The far more beneficial align adds to content is very expensive and required skilled people for both the company selling advertising space and the company buying advertising space and in many instances the middle man company cut be cut out of the arrangement (another reason they so vociferously promote their services).
Just remember in the case of schools it is not a couple of transmitters in every say 150m2 but it is a transmitters in every 1.5m2.
In a school that will mean upwards of 1,500 transmitters in a very close proximity. Now add in cell phones for every student and teacher again all in very close proximity. All added to background EMR, including airport radar, power lines and microwave ovens.
Now what could go wrong with cooking 'children' and the working overtime DNA versus but there are profits for corporations to made.
So when some idiot talks about how much energy one individual unit puts out, politely but forcefully remind them, we are talking thousands in close proximity. The whole thing can be avoided with IR receivers and transmitters in the four corners of the ceilings bouncing their signals off every surface much more safely.
So wireless RF to establish link once on school grounds, then switched over to infra-red in the classroom for sustained transmissions. So snark and corporate greed versus just a wee bit of common sense and protecting at risk DNA (besides there are actually more profits in creating the need for both networks, so quite whining corporate marketing trolls).
The question is what right do you have to reclaim your personal information from the web.
For example there is one group of people who the rest of use want to know about before we interact with them, psychopaths. Once the pattern of behaviour has been established crimes against people, do they have the right to be able to publicly hide or do we have the right to protect ourselves from them, which we can only do if we have foreknowledge of who they 'really' are.
The flip side is of course do people have the right to prevent corporations from gaining sufficient information to be able to manipulate the decisions and choices, not just adults but also children. Corporations have publicly demonstrated a complete lack of qualms when it comes to psychologically manipulating children regardless of the psychological harm it causes as long as there is a profit it (sick corporations employ even sicker doctorates in psychology to more effective achieve this, doctors paid to cause harm upon a mass scale).
The difference here seems to be what information individuals can save and share, what governments can retain and distribute in the public good and what corporations can use to data mine in order to manipulate and control. More than just the data, what is done with the data is far more important.
So Google and Facebook retain a lot of data, often on behalf of individuals and not directly, what should they be allowed to do with it and what audits should they be subject to, in order to limit abuse of that information. What information should people be able to remove and or correct and what process needs to be established to facilitate this, whilst not allowing people who cause harm to others to 'hide' their behaviour so they move from locale to locale to continue their abuses.
The reason lectures continue is simply cost. Everyone who has ever spent time in higher education knows labs and tutorials are where the real learning occurs (as long as they are managed properly). The lecture is simply a means by which to distribute a major cost over many students.
For all the good lectures provide they might as well be a video. So schools can more carefully produce high quality video lectures that are simply downloaded and viewed. All produced during school breaks.
During the education period, learning could be restricted to tutorials and labs, run by suitably trained people either part time post grad students or full time professionals or a mix. This supervised by attending professors who actively participate at times to monitor and ensure quality of learning experience. Catch it is somewhat expensive.
The other choice is 'free' online learning for suitable courses with students paying only for testing and accreditation for suitably audited and vetted government institutions (privatised is hopeless as corruption will occur in either direction, pay for a pass or always fail and pay and pay again).
Leave it up to students to choose which option based upon their inherent skills and abilities. Those that can self learn save big bucks, those that cannot cost their parents heaps. Employers can then choose which education solution provides the most productive work force.
Crazy thinking. Obviously how can the factories, logistics infrastructure, component manufacturers be in Asia if at one stage they were not in Asia? By you cave man thinking, if not there already it can never be there, ugh, cave is safe stay in cave.
Component assembly can be done anywhere in the world. Obviously when done in more labour balanced countries a higher degree of automation exists. Next up component manufacture, if you do not create the balanced economic environment for componenet assembly to exist, well, your screwed.
To many countries have been taken over by the financial sector to content to export debt and debt imports to cripple the remaining economic sectors, to cripple labour rights and turn non-financial nepotistic employment into true wage slaves, working in poverty.
Yet, Saudi Arabia is best buds with the United States government. Never an activity questioned, human rights not an issue, funding of fundamentalist religious organisations not a problem and, women's rights well they pretty much align with what evangelists Republicans want in the US.
911 mostly Saudis, mostly funded by Saudis and yet nary a murmur of investigation into Saudi Arabia. Something to do with funding high salary collapsing companies for the Shrubs.
Cut out the middle man. Google "Linux Tech Support" add in your city or state if you don't want to move.
Once you have a list of likely companies, quite vet them for what ever employment characteristics you prefer. Now do extended research on your vetted list. Who are the 'people', actually people, you will be approaching for the job. What do they want in an employee, what are their likes and dislikes and what are their hobbies. Basically get to know the companies.
Now make a targeted approach to the company in the manner they prefer, providing them the information they want and establish a rapport. With enough companies and a quality approach, you will get a job that often was not even advertised.
Also search across the internet for companies and organisation that have swapped over from M$ to Linux, there will likely be jobs there for staff who have not performed well in the transition.
Although 'Ruby' is definitely hotting up it is open source code that can quite readily produce closed source applications, so M$ is just as likely to pick it up as Oracle was to push it away in preference to Java even when Sun was embracing it. Now if only LibreOffice will add Ruby in as a scripting language.
The psychopath is born with an absence of empathy and conscience. Now that does not affect their IQ. Dumb psychopaths will do truly horrific things and get caught at a younger age, thinking they have the 'power' to get away with them.
Smarter psychopaths will spend their whole life plotting and scheming always being careful not to get caught, regardless of how destructive they become ie. Darth Cheney (now that's the nickname given to him by people who personally knew him) and how many people had to die to enrich his company to the tune of billions.
It sounds like it was a very lucky thing for the rest of us that Steve Jobs did not get into politics.
Just like every individual, group, organisation, corporation or government that ever goes to a Public Relations agency (correct abbreviation B$ 'lies for profit').
Problem is they are always outnumbered. To win they have to buy off so many people it becomes pointless. Of course they are always looking at ways of cheating and introducing automation into the system, to make one person seem like thousands on the internet but the internet simply tightens up new enrolment methods to ensure real people and those sites that fail die.
I dare say the people at slashdot could write a book about methods used by PR(B$) trolls and keeping them out of the system, including commenting for, against and just off topic flooding, moderating, meta-moderating and, story submission. Often it seems like slashdot is a test bed for PR(B$) trolls before those methods are deployed every where.
Skepticism, always relies on stopping for a moment to think about a story you have read to find gaps in logic.
Hmm, melting ice, obviously if the location has temperatures in the range of -10 degrees and the temperature goes up to -8 degrees you are not going to see a great difference in melting at that location. You might see some interesting changes in glacier fracture due to stresses on 'weaker' ice.
Next up the 2 degree change in temperatures will not necessarily reduce precipitation, in this case snow falls. In fact at this location it will likely increase snow if at lower levels that rise in temperature is exacerbated due to local climatic conditions substantively increasing the moister in the air prior to it's rise to higher altitudes and the resultant increased precipitation occurs.
So all that ever will count are global averages, local areas only count where critical impacts might occur. Say like a storm surges might start flooding down town New York upon a regular basis or record snow falls over the whole of winter make even with a rise in temperature make Vancouver uninhabitable.
The real truth is, how much will it cost to take preventative measures and not need them and how much will it cost to not take preventative measures and need them. Aside from of course the mass execution of all Fossil fuel propagandists, political puppets and their funders. The world will really not be in a forgiving mood, with truly unpredictable changes in human society arising from that catastrophe but those short hair crested rock throwing monkeys have always been vengeful.
More importantly if Apple really believe in their products why aren't they making them themselves. Why are they relying upon 'disposable' manufacturing services, does Apple believe it's products are crappy and the need to be able to abandon them at the drop of a hat if the iFad collapses.
Let's see some commitment from Apple and manufacture of their devices where they are bought not where they can not be afforded as they represent around a year's salary at that location.
More Apple nonsense. Apple don't make crap and there idea of designing a CPU is laughable. Take three other CPU from other companies put in on a single plastic die and have another company produce it and the Apple dicks call it their CPU, a marketing joke. Designing plastic cases for other peoples hardware hardly counts for anything. It is all about margins and other companies will target Apple's margins because that is exactly where they can make money. In all time it has never changed, want to make more than cut out the useless middle man.
It has nothing to do with questions and answers a purely subjective response. It has to do with emotional reaction and the control of that emotional reaction, both of which are lacking in psychopaths. So all locked up in the brain, smiles and charm or falsely expressed emotions have nothing to do with it, straight up medical science and yes psychopaths do fear it.
I think is has more to do with SEO's search engine optimisation arse holes making searching much harder for the general public. Thanks to SEO's degradation of the quality (no you shit heads it is pointless spewing up results people are not interested in, just to run up hit's). They are giving up and going to people who can effectively dodge the SEO wankers to get real results.
Who is a fault, reality it is the search engines themselves in not making filtering results much more readily available. Basically allowing the end user to filter out web sites they have absolutely no interest in. Crappy search sites, crappy shopping sites that sell nothing and, pathetic scrapper sites. Want better search, then let people filter out bad web sites and let that ranking push those same sites back off the first ten pages of results.
Now consider that from a mobile telecoms perspective. How about if I buy the phones direct from say 'Foxconn' install Android, brand them as my phones and pocket the profit margin, hmm, screw bloody apple.
Now that's what I think is really going on. The telecoms are taking at long hard look at how the mobile phones that are connected to their network are sourced. By far the most profitable solution for them, is to supply their own branded device, made by contractors and delivered direct to end users. With android that is now a real possibility.
Apple is in serious trouble, those telecoms can do a higher spec device far far cheaper than the Apple product and compete carrier to carrier, with hardware and network.
From the web site http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/ "CLW has conducted a series of in-depth assessments of factories in China that produce toys, bikes, shoes, furniture, clothing, and electronics for some of the largest U.S. companies". Yeah well that straight off is a bit PR suspect. Location China Labor Watch, 147 W 35TH ST STE 406 New York, NY 10001. Check report 35 factories 25,000 workers, that doesn;t seem very many at all, in fact a drop in the ocean so to speak.
Foxconn's inhumane and militant management system which lacks fundamental respect for workers' rights. Hey wait up, ain't that the company that actually makes Apple products.
Ohh I get the Apple Public relations team has been at work, corrupting a labour organisation with cash to create some PR=B$ to get passed the hammering they are getting. Are you proud of yourself you Apple dicks, further corrupting a labour organisation for PR and likely putting millions of workers in China at greater risk.
More than that you can share it on line with one person at a time as long as you do not access it at the same time. That person who streams it should not copy it but just listen to the stream.
So what that be auditing amongst the, hey who's getting paid what to do this deal. Seriously by an overpriced product that leads to lock in? So are they paying to download 'shh it our secrets' app from the apple store for every user.
Realistic hardware and software should have been a completely separate purchase decision. Ideally Linux with just enough left over in the kernel to do the job required, not one scrap more.
