This is what it feels like -- board is filled with academics concerned about AI security.

If any level of government funds your institution you should have to releases the data. The code I write is not my code, it's the banks.
The article is leaving out the fact that the $10k threshold is not at the discretion of the bank. It comes directly from the Bank Secrecy Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Secrecy_Act). The magic number is not the…

> In South Dakota and a number of states in the south and rural districts, yes it is another story, and it is bad. I suspect this is because teaching is arguably the most stable job in rural areas.
Half the reason to be a teacher is because half the job is having fun. Most curricula is set in stone and requirements are nationally standardized (US and Asia). You more or less get summers off (there are conferences…
