There's a simple fix for this problem. Give them false information.
I wouldn't even call what you get from those programs knowledge. Knowledge implies understanding of the subject material, which I've never seen from the "A+ certified" crowd in my entire career.
Robinsons in general have this problem (among others, such as their tendency to disassemble their own rotor systems in flight, and their incredibly awkward t-bar cyclic controls), but I'd still rather take my chances…
As both a rotorcraft and fixed wing pilot, I really don't want this to succeed. Most people have no business on the road, let alone in the sky. That's without even getting into the safety issues with this thing that are…
Ahh yes, the "anyone who doesn't think Bitcoin is going to be worth more than all of the wealth currently held on Earth, is just jealous that they missed out" argument. I find this particularly amusing when it's…
It looks more like it can hobble 4mph, based on that video.
I'd vote: >>>> Apple >>>>> Microsoft >^∞ Amazon > Google >>>>>>>> Facebook None of these companies are trustworthy, but Apple's business model doesn't require them to be quite as untrustworthy as the others to get your…
Mt. Finex and Mt. Coinbase are in a race to see who can claim the title from Mt. Gox. Unfortunately for cryptocurrency markets, the end result will be disaster regardless of who wins that race.
Detection of suspicious individuals by clothing color. Sounds like Fujitsu is using the TSA training manual to train this system. I'm sure "by skin color" will be an option as well. Also note "strengthened marketing"…
The giant iPad in Teslas is stupid as well, but at least it isn't directly in front of the driver's face - begging to become a distraction. On another note, I find it's useful to mentally replace the term "smart" with…
Ahh yes, a massive touch screen right in front of someone operating a multi-ton vehicle at high speeds. What could possibly go wrong? So smart.
That privacy policy tells me absolutely nothing about the data your service collects from the people who use it, and very little about anything else either for that matter. It's also incomplete. No offense, but it…
Your company doesn't appear to have a privacy policy or anything similar on the website, assuming that site is at dnslearning.org. How are you monetizing this? What kind of data are you collecting, and what are you…
I'd rather see this implemented in a way that didn't involve a third party collecting data about children.
> I've heard DIs / SOI instructors say things like that on several occasions, but it was all pretty clearly within the context of trying to be "motivating"....they didn't come across as actually psychotic. If that's…
> My parents wouldn't let me go _anywhere_ by myself until I was at least 17 The sad thing is, your story seems to be the rule and not the exception these days. I fear for a future run by people who grew up being…
I thought it would be pretty obvious that I wasn't talking about either of those. The dead give-away should have been the "poorly-understood" part.
"At Amazon, a telescreen is known as an 'Echo Show'. Would you like 'free' 2-day shipping with that?"
This seems to be the case with pretty much every event I go to lately. Concerts, firework shows, etc. All being experienced through a phone display just so people can "show off" the fact that they were there and earn…
I go out of my way to come up with particularly ridiculous answers to these questions in cases where I know someone might eventually want me to answer them over the phone. Birth city: Octopus Mainframe Z7X
If I visit a site for the first time without any ad blocking enabled, and realize it provides no value, how do I reverse my exposure to those ads? How do I claw back whatever data their tracking scripts collected about…
If you provide value, people (myself included) will happily pay for it. People who go out of their way to optimize their websites for ad revenue are not among those "providing value" to anyone. Ads are psychological…
You think installing these products in your home and teaching your children to use them is "unavoidable"?
> I have two kids. You should see how they use Alexa. A ton. Amazon thanks you for the data points they've been collecting on your children, and for teaching your children to tell Amazon all about themselves before…
The thought of millions of children growing up in "Google homes" being programmed to yell out a brand name constantly, is incredibly sad.
