They're LEOs. You'd need to teach them to read first.
Since they caught him, what does that say about the intelligence of the BitCoin dude.
Here's a picture of Pascal Reid and he's exactly as you'd expect him to be. A pasty, doughy hipster who probably subscribes to Ron Paul's newsletter and has his own PornHub Pro account.
Of course he agreed to work for the police. Because at heart, every BroCoin libertarian is just a punk who will suck the swinging dick of whichever daddy figure has the power.
the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining a lot of attention because we are seeing increasing amounts of "things", such as cars, door locks, baby monitors, etc, that are connected and accessible from the Internet.
The History Channel has a lock on "OMG!!! the Nazis almost won the war, what if their super secret had been built, we would all be speaking GERMAN and eating sauerkraut, OMG!!!"
Speaking of reactionary, what hard data do you have that you and the home environment is better suited for teaching your child? Are you a teacher yourself and do you have the qualifications needed to give your child a well rounded education?
He couldn't do much worse than a school in Irving, Texas where it appears nobody in the faculty or administration knew what a clock was for.
for Pete's sake this "thing" was in a metal box that started making noise when the kid plugged it in during class. Does that sound like it might be dangerous? It does to me. I'm sorry but that warrants a bit of attention by the school's teachers and administrators.
Yes, and here is the attention it warrants:
"Hey Ahmed, what's in the box?"
"It's a clock."
"Oh, cool."
Instead, it got,
"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND YOU FUCKING ISIS TERRORIST SCUM! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!"
Sorry if that seems harsh to you, but if you show up with a device that LOOKS like a bomb trigger and could be used as a bomb trigger and then plug it in during English class
And if police were ever to detain you for hours because you had a Raspberry Pi in your backpack, you'd shit on the floor in fury and start looking for a lawyer.
The whole thing might not be so bad if it wasn't for the official statements from the Irving, Texas mayor, the principal of the school and the police chief. They're still pretending that there was some danger to the students. There was not.
And they STILL suspended the kid from school for three days. Fucking Texas is a shithole. When they're not executing innocent people, they're running around thinking that the U.S. Military is invading them and when they're not Jade Helming themselves into a frenzy, they're banning science and history in the classroom if it doesn't conform to Christian teaching. Now, when a kid builds a clock and takes it to school, they arrest him because they "wanted a broader explanation of its purpose". Basically, the kid said, "This is a clock" and they said, "Yeah, but what's it FOR? And what kinda name is "Ahmed" anyway?"
I'm just surprised they didn't fire a warning shot into the kid's head.
Did anyone talk to the kid who got arrested for bringing a digital clock/suitcase nuke into a Texas school? I mean, clearly he's a troublemaker and has the extremely advanced technical skills to be able to access a manhole Mission Impossible-style and sever fiber-optic cables with his mind.
That idea was pretty standard analog electronics applied to test gear. In some old Fender tube amps, the Vibrato circuit works this way - a light bulb and photocell provided the pulse that controlled signal levels.
That's right. And it's still useful. I've got a pair of vintage Korg MS-20s and the LF oscillators have lights that flash. It's useful for getting an idea of the approximate tempo before you mix in the tremelo/vibrato/whatever. If it's a sine wave or sawtooth, the light dims and brightens. If it's a square wave, it's just on/off.
What do you expect? It was Texas, and they weren't sure what a clock could be used for.
Let me introduce to you to the principal of the school:
‘It looks like a movie bomb to me.’
Now let me introduce you to the mayor of Irving, Texas:
...this summer when Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne became a national celebrity in anti-Islamic circles, fueling rumors in speeches that the religious minority was plotting to usurp American laws.
Finally, let's let Irving, Texas Police Office James McLellan speak for himself:
“It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if left in a bathroom or under a car,” McLellan said. “The concern was, what was this thing built for? Do we take him into custody?”
Get that? It's a clock and Officer McLellan wasn't sure "what was this thing built for"? So they took him into custody.
Actually, it enumerated a number of sightings that weren't drones at all, 2 that were drones but were flying within the rules including being appropriately distant from an airport (5 miles in one, 13 miles in the other), more than a dozen incidents that were military drones, another was a police drone. The FAA claimed all of those reports (even the object at 51000 feet and the "mini blimp") as relevant to hobby drones.
Also dismissed was the thing that "looked like a large vulture". Best guess, it was a large vulture.
So let's say 20, 30...even 50 of the reports were not real. That still leaves more than 700.
Just don't fly your goddamn drone anywhere near an airport, OK? Just don't do it.
We have a long list of trade deals which supercede the constitution and make Americans miserable. We're currently working on the Trans Pacific Partnership [wikipedia.org], which extends copyright protections, jacks up the cost of medicine, magnifies income inequality, and threatens the climate. (See Wikipedia for more detail.)
Now I want you to try to focus like a laser beam on the topic at hand: outsourcing.
What do you see President Trump doing about outsourcing except being "against it"?
What part of "most of the reports didn't involve hobbyists flying near airports" did you not understand?
I want to know where in the story it said anything about "most of the reports didn't involve hobbyists flying near airports". Did you read that in some other article or just make it up completely?
Can I at least get you on board with a law that people not fly anything at all near airports?
Trump is completely against this outsourcing thing.
I'm curious. What do you think a POTUS can do about outsourcing, except be against it?
How do you stop a transnational corporation from moving jobs to other countries in an age of big-dollar corporate lobbying? You think Trump is gonna call for a boycott?
If we have AI good enough to drive a car by itself, then surely, we will have AI good enough to access the online services that the article is talking about. Instead of a future where everybody knows how to code, wouldn't it be better to create one where nobody needs to code?
I think most of us will live to see a day when we need about as many computer programmers as blacksmiths.

Are you telling me that all those times my mom yelled, "Don't sit so close to the TV, you'll ruin your eyes!" she was right?
I respect your priorities.
Yes, when you look inside one, there are explosives. When the teacher looked inside Ahmed's box, there was just a circuit board.
Of course you did.

At least Boston has indoor plumbing.

I'd forgotten all about that. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
