Some people receive a better education being homeschooled than what their local school system could provide. Does that mean we should abandon the school system entirely?
The worst case school is still better at teaching you then the worst case parents. Parents who aren’t in a position to teach you anything are also a lot more common than the worst case school.
Where do you draw the line? Some people’s parents teach them reading, writing and mathematics before they even enter the school system. Does that mean the school system shouldn’t teach those three?
What if your parents don’t know how to fix a clogged sink? Or to cook food more complicated than pasta with ketchup?
What do you see as the purpose of the schooling system?
The US military HAS a method of distinguishing “delisting for reason A” from “delisting for reason B”, but they’re all coming up as false positives for The Rock’s endorsement? That seems a touch unlikely.
You’re suggesting ONLY 38 people total delisted during the total length of the promotion? Those are incredibly low numbers.
The act of inserting this context into the system is itself context, so I’m still existing in the context of what came before
If somebody tricks you and you fall for it, it doesn’t mean what you were tricked into believing isn’t context, or that the fact you were tricked at all isnt context.
Yeah they’re going to cast like the highest paid actor in the world and then not show his face
Memories being given as an input to the system are themselves context
f they can determine your browser was associated with some set of unique IDs, then they can track you
The only scenario in which this could happen would leave both strategies equally vulnerable.
No, the idea is that you can’t be traced via fingerprinting.
You and 1000 friends go to a party all dressed in the same Mr Blobby costume. When one of you gets absolutely shitfaced at the open bar and vomits in the middle of the dance floor, they get kicked out and banned from next week’s rager. Next week rolls around, and 1001 Mr Blobbys rock up on on the dance floor, because management has no idea which Mr Blobby cost them their deposit last week.
You and 1000 friends all go to a party dressed as a unique DeviantArt Sonic OC. One of you fails to hold their liquor. They get kicked out. You all attend the party next week all wearing a completely different costume of a completely different DeviantArt Sonic OC, since the number of them is functionally infinite. Management can’t kick the vomiteer out because as far as they’re concerned, Jimmy the Hedgehog didn’t show up this week, because whoever was Jimmy the Hedgehog is now Steve the Echidna.
If it’s unique every time it means they can’t create a consistent fingerprint for you.
A UUID assigned to each user is unique, but that’s not useful for tracking unless you can ensure each user keeps the same number across visits.
If EFF always says your browser has a unique fingerprint then that means the anti-fingerprinting is working, no?
I think you might care about this a touch too much
VS Code is written with performance in mind. Compared with other electron apps, it’s very performant.
Compared with even a sloppily written native app though, it’s not great.
Emperor’s New Clothes levels of straight face-edness required
Git was built specifically to avoid the necessity to have one authoritative server.
A distributed pseudonymous ledger for use by a centralised authority that will hold sensitive, personal information.
I think the paper was right.
But some parents simply are not in a position to teach their children. School is the solution for that, so if we all accept that new lessons need to be taught, school is the best place for it.
If your parents don’t know DIY or cooking, then you won’t learn it from them, so who do you learn it from when it comes time to teach the next generation? Also, whose fault is it? Theirs or their parents’?
Saying school is for college just kicks the can down the road. What’s the purpose of college? Should children not going to college be allowed to just skip school entirely?
If you believe that children should universally learn DIY, and you believe that the best way for that to happen is to learn it from their parents, and because of that oppose teaching it in school, then at the very least you’re just letting perfect be the enemy of good. We aren’t going back to the times before, so if the only solution you’ll accept is teaching at home, then simply put you’re functionally against children learning DIY.
What if they didn’t have a good family life? Is that it? Is your whole family line doomed to microwave meals?
I think schools should teach knowledge for the sake of knowledge, not because there’s some specific end goal in mind beyond having a general populace that is well versed in things.
