Generally what one does when they place sensors or such in public spaces is you include a name and contact number so people can verify the device. Usually works.
While public schools and the social systems that develop in them have faults, I can say I have had pretty consistently negative experiences with home schooled coworkers. Even ones who were really sweet personally were still a nightmare to interact with professionally. I found no improvement in their response to propaganda, they just randomized which sources they believed and did not believe.
Ahm, I think you just reinforced the stereotype by backing it up by listing a bunch of delusions the proponents tell themselves to try to claim they are not religiously motivated.
The stereotype is pretty strong in the US too, and not without reason I have known quite a few parents who looked into homeschooling and quickly discovered that all the local resources (such as joint field trips, groups for parents, etc) were focused on religiously motivated homeschooling and they were not happy about the people interacting with the 'homeschool community' exposed their children to.
I see them both as needing punishment, but I am not sure how one would really judge if a company was negligent or not. The only really secure systems are air gapped, which renders them rather unusable in these situations. On live systems there will always be some vector of attack for a persistent hacker or group of hackers, so how secure does it need to be? What is 'reasonable' and what is 'weak'. Guidelines tend to map rather poorly given the wide variety of situations, and even experts tend to disagree on how vulnerable a place is.
If we move it simply to 'you were hacked, you are responsible' then we have doomed pretty much every company to a random shaft.
Which could mean the FAA pulling something like this off, provided its counterparts in other nations that have launch capabilities follow its lead. By controlling who can launch and who can not, the FAA has a pretty big stick if it wants to use it.
I am not sure I would go as far as 'does not mean dick', it just does not mean the same thing as to less armed countries. The US's navy ensures a place at the bargaining table, so if a US and Chinese or Russian company end up in a conflict over lunar resources, it will probably be settled by diplomats between the two nations. On the other hand, if China, Russia, or the US are dealing with a weak (as opposed to peer) nation, they will probably just tell the US company to do whatever it likes.
Which is really all it can do. It can define where US companies are allowed to go and refuse launch clearance to companies who go outside their allotted space.
I see the devil as being in the details. Defacing websites and DDoS attacks are one thing, but he was also caught stealing personal information and credit card numbers which, while not a violent act, can have a pretty wide spread negative impact on people and probably should be considered a fairly serious crime. Identity theft (which such data is sold for) can be pretty life altering, even if non-violent.
I think you are kinda twisting the intent of that definition (not that the FBI has not twisted it other ways). The intent is to split 'terrorism' from 'organized crime' in that in addition to the action it must be in the context of attempting to influence government policy. So bombing a store in order to scare extortion money out of merchants is not 'terrorism', but the same bombing intended to intimidate a judge would be.
Qualification is not the issue, goals are. The city council has a different set of priorities than outside ISPs. It still might have been a bad idea, but looking to the calculations run by people with different objectives in mind is of limited utility.
Parents do not think that far, instead they demand 'simple' zero tolerance programs and get nasty when something they think should have been banned shows up and some local news program does a scare story on it.
Well, just as qualified in terms of knowing how to teach, but I would wager that a PhD knows more about their field then some random person who failed at making iPhone apps. Even if the guy is really bright, there is going to be a lot of try, tedious material that he never learned which is going to impact his teaching if he has to stray from 'here is how you use XYZ framework/API/etc'.
Mileage will vary greatly here. I know plenty of tenured professors making making in the 40-60 range which, while not bad, is far from 6 figures. Professors who work for MBA/Law/Tech oriented schools (within a university) tend to be pretty well paid, but the money can be pretty bad outside that band.
I wonder if the 'black' suspension was about calling the 'wrong person' black rather than using a forbidden word. This whole thing reeks of a political vendetta with the kid as some kind of easy target. I would not be surprised if he made the mistake of questioning someone's ancestory with the suggestion they were not racially pure and it happened to be the kid of someone who already did not like his parents.
I actually do wonder how much the 'mumbo jumbo' had to do with it. I still encounter people who believe in the big satanic panic from the 80s and take devil magic very seriously, with 'devil' being anything other than the exact version of christianity they follow.
Sad thing is, the officials are just responding to parent's complaints. If you want to go after anyone, the local PTA is probably a more appropriate subject.
Yeah, but this makes sense. The success criteria for analysis is not accuracy, but faith. As long as they can sell it to marketers, correctness is just something that needs a bit of spin.
I wonder if anyone has looked into which region this might be happening in.
Comcast has undergone some significant growing pains since, while in theory they are one big company, in reality they have a maze of poorly connected systems left over from the hundreds of smaller ISPs and cable providers they bought up over the last decade or two. Some of these systems have better controls (and auditing) on them than others, and each absorbed company has its own corporate culture and oversight.

Other countries with economic and military leverage might hold them to it.

However, via the treaty, the US relinquished its claim.

That almost looks like long term investment! This is america damn it!

20k/day until, like the App Store, the service gets saturated.

Kinda scary that the book was basically a children's encyclopedia.

The only difference between 'sheeple' and the people who claim they are not is the later tend to be far more gullible.
