Well no, as a parent it's pretty much your responsibility to make sure your kids get an appropriate education
That is ridiculous. We do not (can not) regulate who can become a parent and it is in all of our interest to make sure that people around us are as educated as possible. It is wrong headed and short sighted to assume that you do not have a responsibility to help with the education of the community you live in.
Letâ(TM)s say Jimmy is shopping on Walmartâ(TM)s website. Heâ(TM)s shopping there because he doesnâ(TM)t want to go to a brink-n-mortar. He sees the price difference and thinks to himself âoeDang! Itâ(TM)s almost $1.00 cheaper in the store. I wonder what Amazonâ(TM)s price would be? Wow. Amazon is.50 cents cheaper online, and plus I wonâ(TM)t have to go to the store. Iâ(TM)ll just order from Amazon.â
Walmart is absolutely clueless.
This is honestly kind of a brilliant way to float a "presence" balloon. IMHO: At first Amazon didn't get what Echo was. They thought of it as an internet connected speaker, when in reality it was a modern day "Thing" from the Addams Family. I think they've learned that lesson, but one of the most important attributes of Thing is that it understood who was where, and who was addressing it. A lack of contextual awareness is what makes all automation suck. I don't want motion sensors to know if I moved, I want home automation that knows which room I'm in. I also think this is a shot across Apple's bow.
Reasons to only go to the Alamo Drafthouse
1. Beer. Full bar.
2. Pretty good menu.
3. PSA's that are legendary. https://youtu.be/1L3eeC2lJZs
4. Nice big seats, lots of room.
There is a bigly huge difference between reporting something incorrectly, and deliberately misleading. You need to google "false equivalence" and get back to us afterwards.
On an individual level it may not make sense but business rarely runs at that level of granularity on a day-to-day basis. A manger should properly be looking at the overall sales... say 100000 hamburgers, and notes that the labor cost for cooking those might be $250,000 per month if the hamburgers are $5 each. If the restaurant owner can automate and reduce the cost to $200,000 by purchasing a $100,000 machine, and releasing two people. they will in a heartbeat. There are externalities like employee turn-over etc that dramatically increase the cost of labor to a restaurant that we haven't even considered.
The supreme court in Mass. has a some serious logical errors in their decision. I suppose that because the "Interwebs" are a thoroughly modern invention with no analog in 1781 that means there is no freedom of the press on the Internet? Stoopid.
For the most part I agree with you in concept but the spiral does go downward as not all jobs are equal. There has to be an economic incentive to automate a job, and that usually means "expensive." The jobs that can not be automated are generally those jobs where the prevailing wage is lower than the cost of the automation. I am speaking in generalities here not trying to find examples of jobs only "humans" can do.
It isn't that Amazon decided to pay women less one day, it just doesn't work that way. Here's the scenario: Amazon attempts to pay each employee as little as possible on a per-employee basis. The job description only defines what the upper range of the pay will be but NOT the lower end. Experience, demand shifts in the labor market, education, internal connections at the company, and a bazillion other influences exist to determine pay. I'd suggest that there is a wide pay gap between men doing the same job too, and that we are getting a heavily curated view of what's happening. By illustrating the problem the way the article does it is like shooting a piece of paper and drawing the target around it and then claiming LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. It isn't a problem that has a solution in a market where salary can be negotiated.
Unfortunately, with school crisis situations, it's about mitigating loss.
The police largely prevent crime only by accidentally being in the right place at the right time or by use of inside information. Otherwise all police work is about filing reports and mitigating loss. The fact that it's an incident at a school isn't relevant.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you can site specific studies or first person experience in a majority of school districts then you can stfu. No... being a student or occasional visitor to a school does not qualify you to have any opinion about gcommon teacher attributes any more than being a patient qualifies you to write prescriptions.
There are extraordinairly few developers that have a decent understanding of security principles, networking, or any one of a thousand things that the sysadmin does every day. The mistakes I've seen well educated developers make.
The governement does not own the highway, the public owns the highway in common. The government is nothing more than a steward of the public's property and if the public decides to change that they certainly may. As a matter of fact the public doesn't need the governments consent to change how our highways are managed either; the public can vote and make it happen.
I'll go so far as to say that 95% of people are probably biologically capable of going to college.
With all due respect you're about 70% too high. If you honestly believe that all we need to do is "straighten out" our education problems by fixing only the educators you will be very disappointed by the results.
It's a damn shame you posted AC. I for one would like to know the person that so brilliantly (possibly accidentally) quoted one of the creepiest movies ever made.
I think he meant public "owned" as opposed to public place. The school is required by law to know the whereabouts of minors in their care the exact same way parents are. Imagine needing to know where several thousands kids are in a decent sized high school? This isn't about privacy, that is a stupid argument. Everyone in that school knows where she either is, or supposed to be, without that badge. She is also a minor, and like it or not she does not have any expectation of privacy during normal school functions such as classes. I am all about protecting private things that are supposed to be private. She does not have a right to be anonymous in going to and from class.

After all, natural intelligence hasn't always been an asset to us either :-)

So according to you no businesses have been created in the last 100 years? Seriously.

My solution is to stay a Sprint subscriber, that way I am never near any towers and if I see more than 2 bars I know the FBI is close.
That shouldn't be a problem. Either your cannibalize your own products or your competitors will do it for you. Better to the control it methinks.

The parent said that crime was lower. The parent was wrong.
Australia and Europe both got lower crime rates.
You're a little bit ill informed my friend.
