The main problem is scaling the teachers.

Individual 1:1 tutoring with largely Socratic-style dialog with a world-class expert is definitely the most effective and efficient way to learn just about anything. e.g. see http://web.mit.edu/5.95/readings/bloom-two-sigma.pdf

The expert can figure out precisely what the student’s weak points are and can nudge the conversation in a productive direction while allowing the student to feel like he/she is making the conceptual breakthroughs, and the expert will know what misconceptions are common and how to dispel them with pointed counterexamples or logical contradictions, which again the student can be guided through. The expert will know when to offer new topics, when to offer practice problems, when to call back to previous material from a few months before, when to drop the question–response and just give a quick explanation or show a bit of tricky logic/proof that the student is unlikely to ever come up with independently, or when to spend time on hands-on projects.

Student-centered individually-tailored instruction works well if you have <5 students per teacher (and 1:1 or 1:2 is best). When you get to 30 students per teacher, it starts to fall apart, and you need to fall back on lectures, textbooks, handouts, pre-recorded videos, pre-made computer explorations, or the like, and on individual homework and paper quizzes and exams for assessment, because there’s just no way for the teacher to be simultaneously working directly with every student.

The students in a large class can spend some time reasonably productively in small group discussion and the teacher can then visit groups in turn helping dispel misconceptions or nudging the discussion around. Then back in a whole class discussion, the teacher can try to discuss the most common points of confusion. This can’t possibly be perfectly directed at every student at once, but given motivated students and a good teacher with enough out-of-class preparation and grading time, it’s usually the best we can do as a society.
When you set it as most recent then it switches to a very short timeline, and, again incomplete (judging from what you see as default).

Indeed, curated content, which is very scary.

Do you expect Microsoft to open source their operating system?. I mean, it's their right to do it.
We’re not. The problem is with the “everyone got one” part. Every time I’ve discussed this issue personally with a republican they act indignant when I assert that the ids need to be free and trivially obtainable. Usually grousing about the cost and “laziness”.
Absolutely, truly hilarious to point to the Equifax breach when the same Struts vuln is present in Oracle products.
It's not totally divorced from the static vs dynamic argument. One of the main arguments people deploy for dynamic typing is that most type declarations are boilerplate and take time to code but don't add any value. But the reality is that they do add value because they enhance the readability and maintainability of the code (and this is one reason I'm not even a great fan of type inference in many situations). So it comes back to the value of maintainability vs getting your first iteration of the code to work.
#2 is more than just production scanning.

Open source vulnerability management is a technology process that has levels of maturity. That being said, a freeware tool could have spotted this right away.
Leftist != socialist, especially in the United States where in context someone like Justice John Roberts is seen as a moderate, and most politically mainstream democrats (pre Bernie) would be considered if not rightwing, at least centrist leaning toward conservative in many other Western countries.

Uber will accept an investment from SoftBank and IPO by 2019
The unexpected copyright component is known as the "RAM Copy Doctrine". If I recall correctly, MAI v. Peak [0] was the case that established that, and it has been referenced in web scraping cases many times since.

RAM Copy Doctrine is the digital equivalent of stating that a new infringing copy of the work is created every time someone looks at something without a license from the rightsholder, since it creates a "fixed" copy in the retina.

Effectively, this neuters Feist v. Rural Telephone [1] for online purposes, because you can't use a computer to "look at" the source material in order to reference it's non-copyrightable facts.

The computer formatting that encapsulates unoriginal, Feist-style data almost automatically meets the standard of originality necessary to constitute a copyrightable work (e.g., document structure like XML tags or JSON layout), so under the RAM Copy Doctrine, just loading that small shell into RAM for any purpose, even if it's just to read out non-copyrightable facts, may well constitute infringement.

This argument has worked against many scrapers. And of course, under the CFAA, speaking to their servers without explicit permission is of dubious legality, and continuing to speak to their servers after being told to stop is certainly illegal. In most cases, both of these arguments are brought and both arguments are considered persuasive.

Eric Goldman's blog [2] usually does a decent job following cases that involve the CFAA and/or web scraping, IMO.

Legal threats along this axis are apparently so frequent that Goldman set up a form letter telling people that he can't answer their legal questions. [3]

One nice thing about a classic jump table is that you can change the function pointers dynamically. That might seem like a questionable thing to do, but it's pretty handy to intercept or wrap functions. Calling different functions depending on state/context can be more efficient than calling one function that has to check that same state/context on every single call, and it's slightly easier to set breakpoints that way too. Forget about doing any of that with the switch-statement or threaded versions. Unless you're writing something that has to run billions of times per second, like an interpreter's inner loop, the extra flexibility is worth it.
Wrong thread bud! P.S. Love me some good eggs. The new meal kits are dope.
Final Report on MH370 by ATSB
Each US state is a lot smaller than the US. So imagine for a moment each US state individually implements it. That is obviously possible. So following this thinking, that should make you realise that size (in this case) does not matter. Of course the US can implement something like this. Except that the US is a plutocracy and not a democracy => no political will.

Most sites solve this problem with a combination of 2fA and at least one security question.

I'm a bit skeptical of saying that the teacher only asked questions and didn't "tell" the students anything. Many of the questions were prefaced with statements and many included new information that was worked into the wording of the question. This was an impressive and well thought out teaching session. And while it was punctuated with constant questions and answers from the students, it definitely was not "only" questions.
The comment I was responding to was "if you could move".

The Japanese health system is pretty horrible in my experience.

The good:

* It's cheap

Prices for services are set by the government IIRC. Needed an MRI, was covered by insurance. Asked for copy of data. $25 for a CD with all my MRI data and free open source software included to view it.

* It's easy to use

Go to any doctor you want any time. Just show up at a doctor's office and hand over your insurance card

The bad:

* The doctors are not qualified

I've had many experiences with quack doctors in Japan. First doctor I went to 20 years ago gave me an ultrasound and then declared I had hepatitis.

Another doctor I went to for hives on my forehead just said "I don't know what that is". No referral, nothing.

Another doctor was telling every patient to breath through a respirator for 5 minutes. Every patient was using the same respirator, same mouth piece, no changing of anything.

Many doctor's offices are filthy. Machines are covered in goop (caked on bodily fluids?). Now that I have a smart phone I've started documenting this.

Lots of foreigners complain no matter what the symptoms they're given the same 3 to 6 medicines. Break an arm, get the flu, catch a cold, always the same 3 to 6 medicines.

* Nurses require zero training

To be a nurse just show up. Becoming a nurse in Japan requires no more training than working at fast food.

* If you want to good doctor for surgery you must bribe them

If you need some serious surgery you research who the best doctor is then hand them an envelope with $$$$-$$$$$ and beg them to take your case. This is a common topic on Japanese TV dramas and no, the dramas are not making it up. I have several friends who've needed one kind of surgery or another who paid the bribe.

* Long waits

Went to a major hospital in Kanagawa. Hospitals in Japan are not like Hospitals in the USA. In Japan you can go to the hospital for every day medical issues (colds, flu, etc...). Had to wait 2.5 hours in a room with about 300 other sick people.

I will say I don't know how common that is. Waits that long have only happened to me twice as I've only gone to a hospital for service twice. They're just something I haven't experienced in the USA partly because I don't know a single place in the USA that has a waiting room that big. I did experience similar in the UK, the long waits part not the 300 people. Doctors offices have normal waits (5-10 mins)

I'm not trying to defend the USA's system. It's got lots of problems. I like the good parts of the Japanese system. It's just not all roses. The Japanese have pretty good health but I tend to guess it's genetics+lifestyle+diet and not so much because of health care.
Illinois vs. Dubai: Two Experiments Bring Blockchains to Government
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about. I was focusing on the distinction on whether a coin would be considered a security or not. As far as I understand it, one could operate in a fraudulent manner (or not) regardless of that distinction. In order to not run afoul of securities law, companies have to either ensure that they are following said laws or avoid dealing in securities.

If you're referring specifically to Colony.io, then I have no idea. I just read their blog post.
>This is totally disingenuous. You want an exact legal definition of what an assault rifle is, and then you'll just come up with a gun that does the thing that the government is trying to prohibit in a slightly different way.

This is how laws work. If you want to put limits on what weapons are legal, you have to specify what those limits are. I mean, you could give broad intent-based discretion to the ATF, but that means that people don't know what is and isn't allowed and have to go through lots of uncertainty and risk when it comes to owning guns. Of course people want to make the laws clear, specific, and consistent. You wouldn't want a "don't let people get high" intent-based law when it comes to drugs. It would mean that you wouldn't know whether the antihistamines in your medicine cabinet will get you into legal trouble.

Complicating things is the bona-fide economic pressure to do things within the limits set. Guns that are better for mass murder are often better for legitimate purposes such as sport, hunting, shooting for fun, or home defense.
Those were nowhere near the same level in quality and weren't competed with. The market needed the better solution.
That seems to be indication that decision process there is as broken as security process. Either they did not have a professional that could explain the management why the claim above is baloney and what are the solutions to make it work, or that professional wasn't consulted, or his opinion was dismissed by the management. In any case, the symphony of fail continues.

$7 million is peanuts.

People are being advised to perform credit freezes with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. For each credit freeze, you have to pay the credit agency $5-$10 depending on the state (only one state has forced them to do it for free; several states have no requirement to implement a credit freeze at all).

The credit reporting agencies are raking in tens of millions of dollars in these fees because one of them was incompetent. That's basically racketeering.

In case you think paying a company $10 not to disclose information it's gathered about you is a raw deal, TransUnion offers a different, free "credit monitoring" service (https://www.transunion.com/product/trueidentity-free-identit...). It's free, there's no catch (their marketing copy), except that the terms of service include an arbitration agreement. So you give up your right to sue TransUnion or be in a class action.
I upgraded our payment capture a week or so ago. It was easy to do (we don't have a complicated form) but I was bummed to find out that there is extremely limited support for ACH capture with elements.
There are costs and benefits to choosing this line of work. The benefit is obviously the freedom to work when you want. Meanwhile, there is a hefty cost of being a contract worker - which comes with a lot of hurdles.
Well that's an obvious problem, because it means that whoever stole the equifax data, and whoever they sell it to, basically has the answer key to the IRS's identity verification questions.
Also you beg the question right at the beginning of your response.

Not only is two of these completely wrong, what does that have to do with anything anyways? The United States is 50 small countries in one big country, there is no reason why a Singapore system could not be done here.

The age of and diversity of a country have nothing to do with its healthcare system.
Having been offered a profit interest, my lawyer made it very clear that I should not expect a dime from that interest. Why? Well the company could choose to spend until there are no profits. In my case, there was a history of nepotism by the controlling party and the assumption was that everyone remotely related would soon work for the company. At that point, it was easy to turn down the offer.
I'm not sure it's that simple. There's a wide spectrum of types of gambling, and equal variation in the laws regulating those types. Going to Vegas and losing your money on dice sounds like commercial casinos, which is why I chose to highlight it. Most states do have lotteries, as you point out, and gambling where the proceeds go to charity is also legal in most states (see previous sources in this thread). Once you start shifting the type of gambling, though, you also get further from the analogy at hand. One way to look at it is that providing revenue for education or charities could be seen as a public good that outweighs the undesirability of gambling.

To take it back to the original argument, the question is then to decide where investing sits on that spectrum. I am not sure, but I do think there are enough reasonable differences between investing in securities, commercial casino gambling, and lotteries to expect that they may have different regulations.
For most companies you are correct, they are simply amoral profit seekers. Oracle however is a different breed that cross from simply being amoral to something decidedly different

Even a cursory look at how they treat employees, customers, vendors, or anyone really will show this in clear detail that they operate differently then other amoral companies.

Oracle is a special kind of evil IMO

>>>They might occasionally be on the right side.

Name one time they have been on the "right side" I can not. You are correct that a traditional amoral company will sometimes be on the "right side" and sometimes not. Oracle has a perfect record on being on the "wrong side" proving my point above

There is nothing new in Mozilla's leftist political stance, unfortunately. Remember what happened to Brendan Eich, former Mozilla's CEO? Back in 2014 he was forced to resign (and Mozilla was quoted to "believe it should have acted faster") over the fact that he donated $1000 to a campaign against gay marriage in California in 2008. The self-proclaimed liberals ousted him for holding a political opinion, nothing else. And no, he didn't write a memo about it, he just donated the money, that's it.

When you recall that story, there is no wonder whatsoever that Mozilla feels great about having a political agenda and pushing it down its users' throats.

Now don't get me wrong, I love what Mozilla stands for in the software world and I respect their achievements. But why do they have to be so politically biased?
IN NEED OF a ETHICAL HACKER?
I never knew hackers could improve a low credit score until i met one on a discussion forum when i googled how to improve my credit score, i read a lady’s comment on how capable the hacker is of solving any problems that has to do with hacking. So i sent him a mail and asked if he had the ability to raise credit scores(all 3 companies) and also eliminate eviction off court records. Then he replied yes and asked me to provide him some info of mine he’ll need to run the hack. when i did just that, he completed the hack within 72 hours at a price that’s worth it. I give thanks to the ethical hacker for coming to my aid when i needed him the most. Reach the hacker at spystealth 'dot' org 'at' gmail 'dot' com and you’ll be amazed by his skills.

Let's face it, the lack of sensible gun laws is not why the US does not have sensible gun laws. They are easy to come up with.

The problem is that there is a huge amount of people who are completely unwilling to compromise at all. For them, any amount of additional regulation is tantamount to a complete ban.

We have to somehow figure out a way to talk to these people.
