He wasn't fired due to the blog post. The VCs wanted him out for a long time. There is a long history of "articles" about it on the web. It is possible the VCs wanted to get rid of him because of the culture though.
I see. So you don't mind testing, but dislike multiple choice questions? Not all Common Core tests are multiple choice. There is essay writing for example. But yeah, keep moving the goalposts. There is nothing wrong with standardized tests. They aren't the end all be all, but there needs to be measurement - even if it has flaws.
Yes, at least you learned it. The problem with not testing is you don't know if they learned pages 80-111, or learned anything at all.
"We have to make sure that tests cover the whole spectrum of what's required"
So you want testing, or you don't want testing? People complain about Common Core testing all the time in schools and "teaching to the test". But they never offer any alternatives other than "make sure everyone learns everything"
I'm going to answer the question even though Futurepower(R) is a schizophrenic nutjob. The answer is there is no way to do it. If a computer is on a network it isn't secure and it can't be isolated. A "network" is the anthesis of isolation. If you connect it to the Internet, game over man.
Facial recognition software doesn't look at beards or tans or anything like that. They look at the geometry of the face. Of course you bank with CapitalOne so I don't expect you to understand much.
Hahah "industry certified". You guys crack me up, thinking that taxis are "certified" in any way. You know what it takes to become a taxi drivers? Nothing. Maybe a small written test.
I know. Seriously. These guys are the biggest whiners. "When I told I wanted to pay with card, they leave with my card, come back with the card and some more papers and then leave. Never to be seen again."
What were they expecting? The waiter to come chat with them? Seriously, such narcissistic behavior. And one guy left the country because he didn't like tipping.

OR you could work to improve things here on Earth, rather than dreaming about leaving it. You can't live anywhere else but Earth anyway.
Net neutrality is going away no matter what. I doubt it is going to cost me $9000 extra every quarter.
I don't think the current CEO was going to make the IPO. The VCs have hinted at that for over a year.
Yes, it is definitely related to the IPO for sure. The VCs hinted that they wanted a more "mature" CEO before they did an IPO.

I have Verizon shares. They are paying a 5% dividend yield which is pretty awesome for 2017. Greed is good!
I send money to Bezos and Musk directly. They are the only ones who are going to get us off this rock. Pretty soon we will all be living on Mars.
I wrote Expert Systems. They were simple decision trees and algorithms. Just like Watson.

If you have a test X, we will do good at X.
If you don't have a test X, then we don't know if you will do good at anything.
The only people that gripe about tests are the ones that haven't learned anything and don't want to get caught.
Right. We didn't know how to write algorithms before Siri/Watson/Go Playing machines and whatever koolaid the VC's are selling this month.

Is Futurepower still alive? That guy is a nutjob.

It makes sense. Why have a photo or any identification if you don't attempt to match it? It would be pointless.
It used to be a million in NYC. But thanks to Uber it is now $400,000 and dropping.
Marissa Mayer was Brins girlfriend while at Google. "I'm Feeling Lucky" is an apt title for the book.

Not sure what a toxic goat rodeo is. It doesn't sound good.

"I'd call 'em up in the middle of a blizzard and make 'em drive me "around the block."
I agree. You are an asshole. These drivers are just trying to get by. If you don't like Uber, don't use them.
Apple won't let the app with those features they don't like in their walled garden (app store).
Wow, more "AI". We used to just call them websites. Welcome to the new hype cycle.
Uh, isn't it supposed to be an "autonomous" car?
