Indeed, another challenge is crystal aging. For example, PCF2129 has an aging offset register. These devices are rated to +-3ppm over the huge range of -30-80C but the register allows for -7 to 8ppm offsets, if necessary.
1984 would have been largely character if desired -- you already had desktop PCs with joystick and mouse too. The problem was the original party-line ethernet with large numbers of telnet clients or some other [nonstop, nonburst] byte-oriented protocol or serial hardware concentrator, which was a universal situation at educational institutions of the mid-to-late eighties. The Berkeley hack referred to above likely boosted the number of clients you could run on one ethernet sub with acceptable responsiveness.
The dominant business model for tech is telecom and cable subscriptions, Microsoft sales, asset purchase from Dell/HP/Apple/Cisco, and cloud services (leased capacity). Instead of subsidized newspaper, junk mail, and air tv infrastructure we get subsidized Google drive. Instead of air conditioned shopping malls we get subsidized shipping. Nothing new under the sun.
I've see this without Gsuite vector. Could be employees logged in to personal device and leaking through those interactions. Or email to external investors, consultants, or contractors? Send something out to your external translation or localization team, ad agency, or copy editor? Difficult not to have some leakage.
Voice recognition is great. Doctors can dictate notes while on the potty or getting a glass of water or walking the hallway between patients. Let's also not forget the benefits for disabled or elderly.
I think this is overstatement as to 'turning it over.' DARPA paid for research and operated communications systems in furtherance of a standardized packet network. This was done largely with privately developed tech like commercial telephone wires, commercial modems, commercial minicomputers, commercial solid state RAMs, commercial storage tech. The benefit of DARPA's big funding boost was consolidation, sharing, selection of objectively reasonable choices like tcp/ip, and allowing international collaborators. This sped up the process of having a viable, unified internet wherein other researchers who were not even in the United States contributed tech like the web (on Next computers, with Next software stacks, Motorola chipsets, Sony CRT tech, etc).
Yes, the public systems are struggling to manage behavior and iphone addicted parents are not helping the situation. Kids with bad behavior deserve equal attention but should not be sucking all the air out of the classroom, which unfortunately is happening all too often. When that happens ideally there are interventions, discipline, social work, IEPs, medical therapy, and alternate placements. Obviously we cannot ignore such kids (largely boys) or they'll be on their way to prison or otherwise an economic drag on society. I worry especially about all the boys I see who are just not getting out with dad, grandpa, or brothers to get some solid lessons and hard knocks on the playground.
Yep, or target the incentives based on the composition of the situation on the ground. If your classroom is mixed with 1/3 IEPs for autism and other issues you have different achievable goals.
Not sure what you mean. You don't want disincentives for teachers -- it's already an issue where good teachers trying to improve rough schools get associated with poor performance through no fault of their own.
Incentives need to be based on obtainable goals and targeted improvements. Payouts (bribes!) to students for good grades and scores actually really work. Money helps kids internalize the societal value placed on their performance. Similarly, targeted bonuses for teachers work too, but only if formulated relative to the characteristics of enrolled students. See the literature by R. Fryer, for example
In the most expensive locations I would agree that it is not very competitive, and the same goes for entry-level police and other needed services. (Though nimbys reap what they sow here.) The entire education system is inefficient and anachronistic. School should run all year, simply emphasizing more sports and nature in the summer. Then you don't need to fit the career and compensation structure of the personnel into seven contract hours a day working 180 days a year. You can pay a true salary, end regression and lower criminality in the summer, while also helping working parents be more productive.
Don't get me started though! College is even dumber. 36 weeks of class per year for 18 year-olds? Wtf. Kids graduate high school and ought to be in class or an apprenticeship the next Monday. Most young adults go to non-selective universities to get simple credentials like nursing or education. It's not about fancy internships at Google or other nonsense like gap years. That's relatively decadent stuff most young adults can't indulge in.
Bad behavior is an issue but not the primary issue. The big issue is allowing deficits to stack year on year without comprehensive intervention involving discipline and diligence from all stakeholders.
Oh I think we are referring to two different things. One poster suggested that performance-based pay for teachers is a simple solution and that it could be implemented with metrics. I countered because that is not simple. In addition, many teachers are doing support roles, library, phys ed, social work, reading specialist, etc.
OTOH metrics and objective standards are definitely worthwhile indicators. Agreed. In fact, in the modern age of data I think we ought to look at more things to see if there is a latent pattern positive or negative. Reading and math scores are not enough. I want to see physical fitness data. I want to know how many words per minute kids can type. How many dental cavities do they have. Can they pass a civics quiz on state or federal government. Do they know basic geography and have some literacy about the world.
Uhh,teachers in major cities make 100k with 10-15 years experience on 180 contract days per year, and also get pension. Student:teacher ratio is below 20 in all major cities.
Metrics work when kids are prepared to learn in school, but many are not. Black boys in our worst neighborhoods have a >5% chance of being shot at least once by age 21. In the worst cities, 1/200 Black men and boys are shot every year. If you consider only those aged 13-55 in the worst areas it's more like 1/100 -- per year. This is not a simple environment to educate in. Kids don't have a safe place to play. Kids are in gangs. Kids are obese. Kids don't go to the dentist. Kids fight. Kids have high lead levels, asthma, and various trauma.
He can't believe that kids in racially integrated environments are efficient thinkers largely concerned with simple priorities. Is Billy a bully? Should I pick Alice first in the game on the sandlot? Can Jose help me with this math problem?
Insitutional elites are not liberals anymore, just opportunists. Those Alumni funders are largely possible because ultra-wealthy elite institutions have tax-exempt status. Plus, they are allowed to admit whoever they want despite taking in lots of federal funding. So the offspring of oil-barons and politicians comingle with the top 0.1% of academic talent, creating the next generation of crony capitalists.
Latino/Latinx is not a direct substitute for Hispanic. To recommend that as a find/replace is highly irresponsible. People in Spain or from Spain are often or usually considered Hispanic but respectfully do not appropriate Latin-American/Latino identity.
"Stanford" - may refer to noted racist and Asian-exclusionist Leland Stanford. Also may refer to related location formed originally as a whites-only educational enclave on indigenous lands.
All true, but you cannot initiate this on the basis of age or disability status -- it must be universal policy that engineers delegate in order to manage risk.
30 year-old must be treated same as 50 or 60 year-old.
If you should ever have to engage in anything that could be viewed as a demotion on the basis of medical disability or age you should it get your HR people involved for due diligence.
No. The engineers were at Grumman and North American Rockwell. You'd have to check with them. That article refers to flight dynamics officers in one large room, not engineers. There were thousands and thousands more.
They were indeed younger then. People chain smoked, had heart attacks without modern bypass surgeries, generally had larger families and more kids to take care of.
Amazon started requiring FCC information on RF devices this year. Late is better than never.
While Amazon -- given its vast resources -- has no excuse not be a good citizen, obviously the burden on retailers and marketplaces needs to be balanced.
The local mom and pop toy shop selling a few uncertified RF-controlled cars isn't exactly the ideal place to initiate enforcement actions. I'd suggest volume importers or facilitators of volume imports.
FCC doesn't necessarily concern itself primarily with device functionality and security, but rather enforcing the rules of the road, so to speak, for the electromagnetic spectrum.
For example, if you sell a microwave oven, you need to use the ISM band or whatever they deem appropriate, and they won't mind whatever EMF goo it puts out. If your microwave oven deviates from allowed parameters, it will fail cert. If it interferes with telecommunications or other equipment and you sell it anyway, you can get in big trouble with Uncle Sam.
If you sell a widget that is functionally insecure but you don't lie about it in a negligent or fraudulent way, that isn't necessarily a problem. If you have a backdoor for some nefarious purpose, that could run afoul of numerous criminal or civil statutes. Some of these statutes vary by state, too, so best practice is full disclosure, of course.
I enjoyed the explanation very much. Even though I don't use mesh VPNs (yet), the architectural discussion of the vulnerability entailed numerous useful bits of background on browser and network infrastructure. Commendable work!
I agree but I also see low hanging fruit with real data backing it that I'd like to see addressed with more urgency than this. My buddy who is a lefty factory worker complains that it is more dangerous for him to operate certain equipment. And indeed studies seem to suggest this. But the talking heads don't get into this much.
Agreed but scale has to be a factor. Millions of American children are in the custody of grandparents or the foster system at any given time.
Secondly, there is way more friction here than with a term like guardian, which represents a situation that is universal thoughtout humanity, and always has been. The common language only changed because of the need for accuracy and inclusiveness in things like school handbooks, not because it wasn't fully understood and accepted by the population as being an inevitable element of human populations for anywhere from 1 in 10 to 1 in 100 children.
