Unless you gave it to them back when they only let students sign up, you didn't give it to them. At most you confirmed it.
What actually happened was they got it from somebody who had your phone number in their contact list, either on their computer (email), or on their phone.
When people create a facebook account, facebook already had their phone number. When they ask you for it, they're just trying to confirm that it is still current.
Your naivete would be cute, except that you purport to be a nerd. Naive nerds are not cute.
If I use this to spy on my neighbors and find out they're being periodically abducted by the Asgard, should I tell them?
Joking aside, the accuracy is around 2 people, and it can't tell you anything about distribution. So on average, you have no idea if there are people or not. But you can tell a crowded room from an empty room, at least in rooms that if empty would have a normal attenuation pattern.
Pretty weak sauce. Old-school DIY radar on the same frequency is generally more accurate than this.
You're just really biased against discussions of policy, so you presume the word "political" is a bad word. Here, it is a literally informative word to discuss the difference between the mathematical and human-opinion aspects. It doesn't imply that the parents are being unreasonable; rather, it implies that the concerns of the parents are actually more important than whatever math they used, because of the nature of the problem.
My advice, stop telling politician jokes, that's probably what poisoned your well.
Also, more schools have "after school" programs than before-school programs, because there are lots of student activities that take place in the building after school is finished. So the buildings are already open and staffed after school. Plus, teachers often are still there working after classes end. So it is just less of a hassle and expense for the school to provide that. Before school programs are usually only at high schools, and in many smaller school districts there may only be one school that has it. (for the AP students)
Most consumer devices are "powered on" from either the moment the battery pack is powered on, or when they're plugged in. They have two states; full power, and low power. Neither of those states is unpowered.
If it has a battery and you didn't even open the case, you definitely have never seen it "off" unless it no longer is functioning. Typically that happens when the device isn't charged and the battery low voltage protection level is reached. Then it requires a simple fix involving a bench power supply, but most people just throw the device away at that point.
Since you don't want astroturf I won't offer to answer your question, but I will point out that you'll need to learn to do it yourself, and then get far enough into the project to hit some sort of wall, before getting useful answers online. Up to that point, it is all going to be artificial turf. And when you get there; stack overflow if you're doing it on a full system like rpi, stack exchange if you're doing it on a microcontroller. (micros go into the EE section rather than programming)
I didn't tell you anything that would lead you to believe that you have information about what vendors I use. I was talking about the products available in the marketplace, and the way the practices relating to CPU part numbers relate to different price levels of completed whole systems. I don't even buy whole systems other than laptops, and for that I buy Thinkpads. And sometimes there is a substitution, but since it is a premium product they only substitute upwards, never across; they might give me an improved network card compared to the part number listed. They might give me a slightly better CPU. Substitution practices vary across product lines within the same company.
If you actually even looked at the exact part number of the CPU, and you selected a completed computer system with a very specific CPU version, and you actually checked the one you got because you care about the exact part number, I already know a few things about you. Such as, you didn't buy the cheapest model available. You didn't even understand what I was saying well enough to evaluate if it applied to your situation.
If you're buy a Cheapotop 2000, and it lists the part number of the CPU but it doesn't even offer any choices of different CPUs, then how are you harmed by the substitution? Only if the CPU is different enough to not be generally equivalent would there be any objective problem.
And it is simply not true that there are countries in the world where you can't buy name brand computers at all the quality levels, and also can't buy generic computers. Perhaps instead you misunderstood how the consumer protections shake out in every situation? Maybe for cheap computers, there is nothing at all deceptive about substituting whichever part number was cheapest when they made it, especially where they are equivalent? And perhaps if the computer is low end, small differences in capabilities matter less than in a high end system that is bought specifically for being better in small ways?
No, they would not fall afoul of your country's laws. You'll find they made appropriate disclosures about substitutions in all their local advertising materials.
And, we have lots of consumer protections in America. I thought the general belief of you furriners was that America is an excessively litigious place. Surely you understand that without protections, people wouldn't even have cause to sue over faulty products? I don't see how you could have failed to have heard people whining about exactly this aspect of the American system. Don't just burp up on yourself and randomly spew anti-Americanisms on your shirt. Perhaps your politicians simply reminded you how Virtuous the laws they passed for you are, and you believed them? In my State, we vote on our consumer and business protections directly, and have exactly the protections that we want, via direct democracy. Go figure.
Golly, this looks familiar! Are you sure you're not going in circles?
If you're just repeating yourself, you probably missed something in between.
Semantics refers to meaning, BTW. Your word game is only based on repeating a true statement that is not related to the meaning of what you're responding to. You absolutely should stop playing word games, and focus on the semantics instead. That's where the meaning lives. That's where the stuff that flew over your head is still hiding.
Why would running on arbitrary machines even be interesting?
Yeah, if that is what you want, by definition you're only working within the lowest common denominator and you don't need to worry about new architecture possibilities; that becomes relevant 20 years after most of the market switched.
I'd be much more interested in automatically mapping naive algorithms to efficient algorithms on a wide variety of new systems built according to one of the new architectures discussed!:)
Having a non-default choice is more work?! Oh, noes!
It divides those that have a use case for the choice, and those that don't. The ones with a use case already chose something else, and did whatever small amount of work was required to make the move, and the people without a use case just made crude noises about it.
If you need long-term feature stability, choose a system that provides that. I hear none of the BSDs have systemd, and they're not known for changing things very often.
Well, I'll put my name on that, systemd brings a lot of important features to modern systems, like being able to start network services after a request for the service is received, without dropping the connection or having to have a userspace middleman process that tries to queue as many of these types of requests as it can. The old way sucked hard, the new way with systemd is exactly what we were asking for... 20 years ago.
Others in the thread were hating on binary logs, but having some structure makes it much much faster for security tools to parse the logs, and for humans, you just run a single command to get an all-text version if you want it; exactly as hard as running cat to get the text listing...
Right, you can't "simply uninstall," you have to install the replacement, then uninstall. Too hard for haters.
I mean, by definition these are people who don't understand what a compilation unit is, how would they ever make a distro package on their own?
Of the twelve people in the world who hate systemd and also know how it works, a few have finally released this new distro in the story. And luckily for haters, it is Windoze-friendly because they'll need that for the games that are their main use case for computing.
One of the big things Linux zealots like to yell about is how you only install what you want. How about just don't install systemd? And if you did, just delete it? Seriously, I don't understand.
Right, you don't understand. The people who come to hate on systemd don't have the technical skills to choose for themselves, because it is OS functionality. And the distros, who employ people who understand that stuff, want the advantages of systemd because they do understand what it is and what it does.

Right, and those countries are in Europe.
Uh, but FEMEN activists get arrested all the time?
And yet, it is not a trade organization for cobblers in Nevada.
You're quite right, you're not the only idiot in the world.
You still attach negative connotations even after it was pointed out, you're clearly incapable of logical discussion.
"Dallas Buyers Club" is the name of a movie. It is not a local business in Dallas.

Optimal doesn't mean perfect. That no answer will be perfect only proves that optimization is possible!

Wait, wait, are you saying that AND isn't optional?!? Z0mg! Who knew?!
If you think building something new "shits on" all of history simply by containing intended improvements, you're an idiot.
Even if I thought the software sucked, you'd still be a dumbfuck who doesn't know why they hate it, and lists reasons that are measurable and untrue.

It is somewhat telling that that is your first response to something you don't understand. I guess you spend a lot of times hanging out in bars?

You're saying, it isn't a new architecture because the engineering principles aren't new.
I would suggest you reconsider the difference between architecture and engineering.
Why would running on arbitrary machines even be interesting?
Yeah, if that is what you want, by definition you're only working within the lowest common denominator and you don't need to worry about new architecture possibilities; that becomes relevant 20 years after most of the market switched.

If you need long-term feature stability, choose a system that provides that. I hear none of the BSDs have systemd, and they're not known for changing things very often.
As you figured out by the existence of CentOS, RedHat isn't selling "the distro," they're selling access to their support and network services.
Well, I'll put my name on that, systemd brings a lot of important features to modern systems, like being able to start network services after a request for the service is received, without dropping the connection or having to have a userspace middleman process that tries to queue as many of these types of requests as it can.

It is a binary format that is easy to parse from C, and also, there are existing command-line included that remove the formatting for you.
If easy things seem hard, you might be a systemd hater.
Right, you can't "simply uninstall," you have to install the replacement, then uninstall. Too hard for haters.
