It's more like tyranny of inalienable rights which is a good thing in my opinion. Every society should have a bill of rights that the public nor state can't change. That's how you protect against fascism.
It was an absolutely brutal video to watch. I agree. Even with the absolute best field first aid, EMS and surgical response, arterial bleeding I think has a 60% survival rate? Again, if everything goes perfectly, timed perfectly etc.
There has to be a private school somewhere in the United States that is opposed to this model. It's a shame if they do exist, they don't advertise themselves as such.
I want to teach technology to young people through a lens of anti-survelliance, anti-ads, anti-censorship etc
"My wife and I had a disagreement about letting my son (now 23) have my old desktop replacement laptop."
But at least that's your son. We shouldn't outsource these difficult decisions to strangers, school, municipal, federal systems etc.
I wouldn't consider my organization dangerously authoritarian. But definitely authoritarian. I doubt any preferable locations exist in education. They all support this digital authoritarianism. Lastly, I don't have the economic means to just quit.
"Why does the school need to disincentivize them working together?" The school doesn't want them using this tool to send messages to one another during class or send inappropriate memes using it.
So instead of asking them not to make inappropriate memes (don't think you could honestly convince students not to chat with one another digitally during class, if option exists) they want to nuke the entire tool.
This school reprimanded me for not using go guardian to remotely monitor what websites they were trying to visit. I told my students it's a gross invasion of privacy for anyone but your parents.
Lots of problems here. They are also TERRIFIED of lawsuits. I couldn't get them to unblock neil.fun because IT convinced the principal their are links to porn sites from Neil.fun
I showed otherwise but they refused to believe their own eyes. Every year it seems I have to sell more of my soul to digital fascism to keep my job.
Current geopolitical stuff too. Intelligence agencies use Wikipedia articles as propaganda tools. The Ukraine War articles are factually incorrect. To be expected with so much at stake.
I'm sorry but is this argument in good faith? There is a loud minority of anti-car activists on HN and Reddit that simply will advocate for any policy that harass drivers.
I support private vehicle ownership and am opposed to any kind of tracking/nuisance enforcement behavior.
I've stopped thinking to formulate content. I now think to prompt.
This makes complete sense though. We're simply trying to automate the human thinking process like we try to use technology to automate/handoff everything else.
What outlook? What planet are we on? Why are we debating who makes better handcuffs? Do E.U citizens prefer their handcuffs be made in Europe? I'm so confused.
The problem isn't being handcuffed by Google or an American company, it's being handcuffed at all. Is it some kind of psychological coping skill to misdirect from the obvious problem (an age verification app that bans user software preferences)?
Who cares if it's Google or an American company. The point is you decided to let the E.U dictate what software you can run on your phone.
I think it was a Steve Jobs quote, paraphrase "it's 5% the idea, 95% implementation".
Lots of very intelligent and talented people out there. But when you have the good fortune of coming up with a great idea (Facebook in the mid 00's) you have to use your talent to relentlessly implement it.
This is what separates the plebs from the ultra wealthy. Intelligence + talent + idea + implementation = success
No. You don't want someone who believes in vaccine passports and lockdowns running your browser if you truly value an open and free internet with roadblocks to tracking, fingerprinting etc.
No CEO or developer is going to respect to software/hardware users if they believe that user should also use health verification software to go about public spaces. These are incompatible philosophies.
