good point, and fair enough. My position *would* require the cloud system to have some fairly rigorous controls (e.g. allow only the teacher to have the private key, with NO ADK) which in implementation, wouldn't likely ever get implemented.
fermion makes a decent point. Maybe another way to restate his point is 'what's the difference between a *teacher* monitoring where a student is struggling in a classroom, and a *teacher* monitoring the student struggling online.
Also, if in aggregate, and if anonymous, if the cloud can analyze where students struggle, and can improve the content, or *ID the teacher laggards* I'm all in.
IMO, what is different is when some remote 3rd party monitors the *student, and can personally ID the student.* *That* I have a problem with.
and, sorry fermion, it's 'role' of the student;)
a long , long time ago in college we had a co-op where we'd work for 6 months, go to school for 6. Having that real world experience interleaved brought me so much value in that my school became so much more relevant, and I also understood *why* I was going to school.
so, go, start learning.
seems that the uses of TOR to date have been primarily 'negatively' for hackers, those avoiding the law in a number of ways (including true terrorists) and those who share (e.g. steal) copyrighted materials. 'Positive' use include or those who live in repressive regimes. This adds another positive use. How cool.
why is this modded up? the poster said that they were guessing. Moded up as we cannot believe that an engineer was human, that they f'd up, then tried to cover it up? Granted, this sniffs correct, but the 'hero' label is waaay over the top.
Would love some facts from some of the other posters who do/did work in the auto industry and GM:
1 - how often does a part get modified - like in this case it was off a smidge, but otherwise unchanged
2 - how often does a part just get modified without some QA oversight? (IOW, why didn't QA and all that 6 sigma crap get fired too ?)
3 - can an engineer just make this change, independently, and manufacturing or the OEM will now retool this silly little part and just do it?
what I'd really want to know, tho:
a) is were the engineers who made the change in design, aware of the accidents and death caused as a result of this bad design?
b) we keep hearing it was a $0.20 part. But what were the recall costs?
nothing new here, just easier then rappelling

The Graffiti Drone

· Score: 1
I don't get the drone vs rappelling on rope issue. I'm open to being educated tho. What I see is that in the past, people defaced others property - public or private, up close and personal.
Now with a drone, the defacer can deface others property without having to put themselves at risk.
What's changed? Maybe there'll be a real issue when someone operating a drone defaces property and someone gets killed cleaning up as they had to rappel to sandblast the paint.
This is similar to stealing copyrighted material from the internet vs stealing from a walmart. They're both stealing, the internet you can steal with much lower risk of getting caught.

full disclosure - perhaps I'm a hypocrite, but 'illegal' BASE doesn't bother me as much as there is (likely) no damage to property.
seriously, we do. When I hear 'cost billions' I'd like someone as amazingly sharp as Nate to look at the data through his analytic mind, and either call BS on those of you posting "it's FUD," or those of you saying "we're f'd !"
I get my news only from The Daily Show - and of course/. - so cannot be biased by either FOX or NPR...
while I am not at all a warming skeptic - the math seems to support it - I cannot be entirely on board given the unknowns. Like in this report from the EPA, with all sorts of charts and scientific graphs n stuff, which predicted Ocean City MD underwater by now....

this whole proposal is predicated on folks agreeing to not cut in line. Until you're ready to take a crane and literally remove cars who cut in line without a T in their plate, then this'll be broken the minute some 'ohhhh, i didn't understand person' gets in the line.
saying this as someone who travels monthly, and EVERY TIME there's someone who's not a 2 tries to get into the 2 line. Every time. and some times the gate crew lets em.
but maybe, the burning man attendees are all compliant and play nice and all...
+ the post poking fun that they're doing this in Hawaii.
I was immediately struck by the fact that the main part of the isolation is the realization that NO HELP CAN COME, and I AM STUCK HERE WITH THESE IDIOTS and I WILL DIE IF I GO OUTSIDE UNPROTECTED
am wondering if they did this on the antartic, that might better simulate those more real impacts.
I was going to write that the Europeans colonizing the Americas or Austrailia 400 years was a parallel, but it's not. Yes, help was delayed, and yes the outside was brutal, but the parallels just aren't the same in degree of impact.
Bob - FWIW, my now 18yr old had the same diagnosis: HFA, PDD-NOS, etc when three or four.
I just wanted to share that while +/- friendless for his childhood, he applied to a 'real' college, got accepted, and got a $25K / year scholarship to attend.
So stick in there with him, accept him for being different, ignore the idiots (like those on this post who call it a craze) who aren't caregivers of people on the spectrum, and focus on the good stuff.
I can tell you that while we medded my son in middle school, he's now off meds, and kept A's and B's to date (studying for tests is silly easy, save when you had to write what someone "felt" in the novel;) without us helping him at all.
And in terms of 'using the system,' comments: my son is one of four children. Two of which actually can make friends, hang out, do sports, etc. Whoever wrote that crap about 'taking advantage' have never had their child bullied by teachers and kids, never had to threaten lawsuit to get an IEP. So until you walk decades in our shoes, just, please, shut up.
... back pre-Larson when McAfee was on Bowers or before, did you guys really keep score on who hit it in the conference room? was there a point system? how did you score?
handguns are also arbitrarily cheap and getting cheaper. The action of you pointing them at me is arbitrarily easy. The action is motivated by... (this is where my parroting post this breaks down). How is any sort of law enforcement going to stop you from pointing that gun at me.
Shouldn't I be looking at a different solution here?
I'm musing how society deals with someone walking around videoing everything that they see. I mean *everything*... think this through.. the bathroom, the workplace, the interview, the exam, the bedroom....
What's the diff between google glass and someone with a video camera ? the camera is 'obvious'... giving those recorded a chance to alter their behavior, or asking those recording them to stop. Think through a scene in a public bathroom with you with a camera recording as you're standing at a urinal...
In swimming meets, *all* meets have a 'no cameras behind the starting blocks' rule - for obvious personal privacy reasons. In that situation, it's obvious if someone has a camera out, but not if they're wearing glass. Perv paradise.
How does society deal with glass in all these cases? does the wearer of glass have a right to have the *potential* to surreptitiously record in those cases?
I'm not smart enough to propose an answer, but this got me thinking....
If there was a 10+ points score - and I had any mod points - I'd vote em all to this post. Try, slashdot, to at least maintain the appearances of impartiality.
First, I'd like to know who wrote this article, and why the inaccurate meme of 'ooo, tech companies are f'd by NSA spying' was promoted as the lede.
Second, I'd like to see the catalog or other evidence. Der Spiegel says 'you can't trust the gov but trust us to be unbiased.' I guess I'd accept something like "we'd share this catalog, with you but.... " and tell us why. I clicked through the Der Spiegel links and didn't find a link to the catalog, or a pic of it...
as a parent, I'm horrified the author whored out her 5 year old for this article. Her article will still be readable on the internet, 15 years from now when her now 5 year old, pre kindergarten kid is a young adult. Her future adult's prospective employers, prospective spouses, etc, will all be able to read her DNA results.
If the author wanted to share about herself... especially as her child isn't genetically hers... that'd be fine. Imagine her writing about her significant other, without his consent ? 'oh yea, my hubby has a marker for testicular cancer, sucks being him.'
Guess that's the pandoras box that genetic testing opens up, exposing privacy of this kid without their ability to have a clue what they were consenting to.
I personally am ambivalent. I'm 'spy'd on' by my employer here in the US. I had to submit to a background checks that went back to high school to get a job.
And in general, the leaks haven't revealed anyone "harmed" (yes, I'll be modded to negative 1000 for saying that but...).
For 'why' my sense is that there're a lot of 'me's ' around who say:
- I have nothing to hide
- warfare has changed - the rules that the genius Jefferson wrote 250 years ago didn't consider asymmetrical terrorism or email
- spying on us citizens to date has been a conceptual issue - the spying hasn't led to some other wrong
amazing that a basic background check didn't catch this. I've been through a few for new jobs in 2013, and they're really thorough, going back to high school.
/. needs many more like you. Disagree without being disagreeable./. sniffs like the other side of fox news: you know what their position is before you even hear it. since/. is self moderating, like zip codes , MD vs VA, etc, you end up with pockets of folks just like you.
You meant the possessive "their" but used "there."
You, ironically, sadly, and unknowingly, made your point re sucky teachers, oh so well.
So when you go back home, and visit, teach your cousins that English is one messed up language, what with the your/you're, and the their/there/they're stuff. As I tell my kids - get over it. Teach them the meaning of the stuff that all sounds the same, but when you confuse them, in writing, you just appear illiterate.
surprised no one's talked about this (yes I know TFA was about job displacement)
- 'script kiddies' driving trucks off bridges to see what happens
- mobs 'rerouting' that shipment of cool new tech
- nation states crashing thousands 18 wheelers (or however many they'll now have) simultaneously and grinding traffic to a halt nationwide
yea, yea, it's FUD. But independent of the FUD, there's a lot of work to do before the security aspects are solid.
