Well I don’t think that is the case. Parents and teachers are observing students not paying attention.

I would think if an educator can teach a full lesson, while also ensuring that students retain the information, when the student is watching YouTube, endlessly scrolling reddit or lemmy, or on Instagram this wouldn’t be an issue.

The problem is that students aren’t retaining the knowledge being provided to them.

For my truck, I ended up looking in the owners manual and found a fuse that is for the modem. I removed it and the vehicle functions without issue.

I know it works because when I brought it to the dealership to get serviced they said they couldn’t connect to it via their online service app. They also asked if I had tried to connect to it via the company app on my phone. I just told them I never needed to.

Just to be sure I verified they didn’t reinstall the fuse and they had not.

Yes that metadata can exist but can’t that be obscured if AWS isn’t connected to directly?

I think some of the technical details of how the ASD intends to ensure data protection/confidentiality/integrity are omitted for national security reasons.

Well I would think that if the customer, in this case the Australian Signals Directorate, encrypted all data prior to going to AWS, it would be protected from any data mining that Amazon does.

I am sure that the ASD isn’t just posting the information unencrypted on AWS or solely trusting Amazon’s encryption where Amazon also has a copy of the key.

I would caution you about socialism being a way to get to communism.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of communist ideology, believed democratic socialism was a sham and true communism could only be achieved through a violent overthrow of the bourgeois.

The complex restructuring you mentioned is why they thought a transition from socialism to communism would not work.

This is for a vote conducted back in October. I wonder what a more recent one looks like and if there has been any change.

250 billion for what? Governments are horribly inefficient and many of their employees operate with the thought “not my money not my problem I can just spend it however I want”

Billionaires getting taxed more only treats a symptom and not the root cause. Their corporations should be broken up, competition should be stimulated, shareholders should demand limits on exec bonuses and the executive pay should be limited to a reasonable ratio of exec to lowest paid employee pay.

That would make things better and money in the government should be spent more appropriately.

Well it’s international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.

Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn’t make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

And that’s why we will never have peace in the middle east. Both sides argue for violence and both sides only conduct emotional responses.

Emotional responses don’t lead to any solutions. Only reason will create a peaceful two state solution.

Was there a reason all of Rhode Island is in the picture but not in the data set?

Should billionaires make as much as they do? No

However just taxing them doesn’t get rid of the root issue. It just addresses a symptom.

We should break up the companies that enable billionaires to exist, stimulate competition, raise the minimum wage, put bounds on CEO bonuses, and limit executive pay to a reasonable ratio when compared to the lowest paid worker in the corporation.

Why is it assumed that if the government has more money, then things will be better?

The government is filled with inefficiency that will just be made worse by throwing more money at the issue. Americans are not getting value out of their taxes.

Americans have record low confidence in congress and many officials in government (Supreme Court). Why would we give them more money when they, congress in particular, is responsible for setting the budget?

Bitwarden for sure! It is certainly the easiest way to increase security on all your accounts by making extremely secure passwords. Plus you can self host it if you want!

Really don’t agree with this one. We have a broken system that the leading candidates in each party refuse to debate other contenders. Our “candidates” have been selected for us before the election has even gotten close.

Biden is too old and just a career politician that got to this point not because he was the right choice but because he got the right jobs. He had been vying for the presidency for at least 20 years before he got it. It just became his turn.

Additionally, he is not progressive just a populist. Just ask the railroad works that were told they can’t strike because of a bill signed by Biden.

More information is here on some of the falsehoods of Biden being progressive when it relates to unions: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/02/joe-biden-is-no-friend-of-unions

I really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don’t see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack.

I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones.

Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn’t have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones

I wonder why your username is AggressivelyPassive. More like AggressivelyAggressive ha.

That’s true but couldn’t that also be said for the rare earth metals used in batteries to power phones and EVs?

No energy production is perfect. Just good to look at the pros and cons.

I don’t understand the hostility. Germany made a conscious decision to turn off their nuclear power plants.

Facts are facts. Nuclear power is the 2nd safest power generation method per terawatt hour. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

Additionally there are ways to recycle nuclear fuel. Most often the arguments against nuclear are fueled by emotion and not fact based.

I wonder if they would ever reconsider what they did for the deactivation of nuclear power plants.
