Indeed. Not a fan of 'cloud'-based software or apps, because I know where it leads. Ultimate control over my usage by that corporation, and denial of future access through subscription models. Has happened before, and…
I'm personally against DIE measures. As a white person, it has made me become more of a 'racist' when I never was, and mainly out of resentment, as I get barred out of jobs and opportunities that are taken up by…
Best of times DHTML was fun, doing Flash things without Flash :D
Of course you can. If you made a game, an app, or any software, and have a good portfolio that demonstrates your ability, a college degree becomes less meaningful. Anyone and their dog can get into college nowadays…
FB wants to track all your networks, whether they are onsite or not. Once the databases via your email or other (Cell #) get shared amongst corporations, through agreements, buyouts, or 'hacked leaks' they get access to…
Dude, sometime around 2010-2014, FB was asking users for the email accounts of their friends 'to contact them on their behalf'. I may have the dates wrong, but I remember being pretty pissed at the time, as my so-called…
I can tell you from years of online debate that I have had with individuals, it pretty much boils down constantly to presumption, strawmen and 'so what you are saying is' all day. Nowadays you can't discuss anything…
I'm constantly downgrading video on many sites myself, as I am perfectly content to stream in 720p max for movies, 480p for your average YT video, and even down to 144p for just streaming audio and podcasts. I only need…
They would just let you in, I guess and pass you too, because they wouldn't want to hurt your feelings, or hold you back in any way... after all you deserve equal outcome with everyone else regardless of merit, skill or…
Or many of us are just trying to find out a proper term and qauntify an ideaology that keeps rearing it's ugly head every few months or so using a different buzzword.
If anything I personally would have benefited from leaving the classroom behind and put in an advanced learning class, and away from all the distracting BS like drama, popularity, drinking, partying, fooling around..…
I wouldn't say it would stop anyone.. I just posted the quote to show the intent behind the action, which I find disgusting. The internet has been amazing for me and others to learn anything at anytime - there are no…
Yes, but not at the expense of holding other people back. Trust me, being asked to play 'second fiddle' so that someone else can have the same 'outcome' but without doing the work, is far more discouraging and damaging…
No, the more studious removed themselves to work at their chosen craft, and therefore can't be in two places at once.
"Equity is a noble goal, but it should be obvious that taking away resources from smart teenagers in order to make them more similar to their lower-achieving peers is the height of idiocy."
"The plan closely mirrors California's recent efforts to discourage students who are proficient at math from taking calculus any earlier than their classmates" . This is holding people back, stunting them, in other…
"Education officials don't like that some higher-achieving students are sorted into environments where they are more likely to succeed than their less-gifted peers, and would prefer to keep everyone officially at the…
Sure, it may raise the skill levels of one group and at the cost of another group who is held back because of the pace.
Sacrifices right? While one group goofs off, does the minimum to get by, who for one reason or another are satisfied with mediocre grades... another group is sacrificing these things to develop their skills, it's not…
"equitY = "equal outcome" "inclusive model of education" = "we want to handicap top students" equivalent to participation badges We don't want feelings hurt, and we don't want people to feel that 'they're not good…
Perhaps some introspection is required on your part, as to determine how you have become so quickly and ignorantly triggered. "MOM" has nothing to do with her gender, for if you had read the article that you are…
