OK, thank you

I don't see courtesy or an answer in your comment. I see a refusal to answer, in a condescending tone. I explained myself in good faith and you chose to educate me about the existence of property portfolios, following up with how, actually, my question is stupid.

You refused to accept even the premise of any thing I've said. I believe I have matched your respect, but hopefully with more zing.

I was wondering about the events you're monitoring home for while you're on holiday. Were you saying something more like cameras mean you don't have to do your usual rounds on foot?

Regardless, when I said "blank feed" I meant a scenareo where you're away and you don't know why the feed is blank. It's not the same as a non-existent camera: it's telling you there's a mysterious problem. Can you ignore the chance that it's an extremely urgent problem?

Alright mate, I'm not probing your defences. I'm just wondering how much peace of mind you get at a distance.

I mean, are you flying home if a misdelivered dog gets struck by lightning on your lawn?

And how urgent is a blank feed? If not "drop everything" (even though it's probably nothing) then what's the point?

Good points, thanks.

I want to say something like "who learns advanced calculator functions solo but not the taught subject?" but of course shortcuts-by-rote spread like lice. I suppose that's the thrust of the problem with AI in schools

What do you do when you're away and something happens?

What if you're away and the feed dies?

I was thinking of exams rather than day to day learning of basics, seeing tests as teaching rather than assessing. Point being you can't cheat at learning.

The calculator can't fake that you understand e.g. how to differentiate. The working is the bulk of available exam marks but the calculator only gives answers.

Is it unambiguous cheating if it doesn't help?

What about a system of agents who locally take cash then bulk transfer to Steam? Like some kind of middleman: a processor, if you will, of payments.

Cash handling isn't really the problem with this suggestion

> The ones working 13 hrs/day make the equivalent of a marketing director or bank manager.

Sure if they work 13 hour days for 7 days a week for 52 weeks a year at >$15/hr. And have no expenses. And you ignore the precarity and the physical danger. Then yeah it's equivalent to a young bank manager.

I remember being at a point where I could read but it took effort, so I would just vibe it.

It wasn't coercion that got me to be less lazy, it was the time when I put clearly labelled sugar on my food instead of salt.

Incorrect.

Your first sentence is plain wrong and your second only begs the question. It's as if you're just trying to distract from the content of my comment with sheer semantic disingenuity. But maybe you missed my point so:

every check shows distrust

Removing undesirable information is literally censorship. For irony's sake, I'll adjust my comment for your sensibility:

Every restriction is a demonstration of a lack of trust.
