Seems to be a good rule to just not trust anything.
Apparently the subnet I'm on has been blocked for bulk downloading.
Essentially, you are charged for your time and everything else is free. Presently I think it's about 7p per minute for the first hour, and then 4p a minute afterwards - there's also a cap.
While in there, coffee, snacks, etc, are all "free".
Perhaps this sort of model could work? Obviously if you're not willing to kick out all the remote workers. I guess this turns it into more of a coworking space though.
If it helps, I didn't actually exist at the time
Seconded. I'm almost certain they are, or at least, they're pretty damn hard to stop.
Would you be able to tell me more about What Computers Still Can't Do before I buy What Computers Still Can't Do?
I went to a British Secondary School, and am just about to leave Sixth Form - I took computer science at both levels.
The trouble is - again, at both levels - there are few teachers who understand the topic. Scratch and the like are easy to learn for more or less anyone, and teachers can teach it easily. I know that in some cases CS teachers are IT teachers who took on the extra subject.
With like Python, unless the teacher has actually written a decent amount of it then they're going to struggle to teach it well. If they've never properly programmed, they will also struggle to point out that "Twitter has an API that you may want to use to analyse tweet contents", for instance.
I'd just like to reiterate that I am not disagreeing with you, I would very much love a curriculum change. I just think that the lack of qualified teachers needs to be addressed as well.
Though to be honest most things don't, I blame being rural.
Instead of complaining about what it does, perhaps we could be trying to make it more efficient, or make an alternative that solves the same problems (perceived or otherwise) in a better way?
Enough people have been interested in it for it to be voted high enough for you to see it.
Can confirm. Not fun.
Luckily they didn't take it any further than a stern telling off, unlike the article.
On top of that, I had actually revealed a vulnerability allowing anyone to access anyone elses' files earlier in the year.
I guess it's using something like headless chrome to get the thumbnails?
"Our fire protection systems passed all tests, nothing is wrong."
Main reasons are for extra privacy (scripts aren't there making arbitrary requests), better responsiveness, and better battery life etc. Of course there is a cost.
