I guess it works because the military lives on quid pro quo and state secrets are secondary. It is like Petraeus trading sex with some random women for US secrets.

I canâ(TM)t imagine that soldiers are authorized to receive gifts like that put our nations security at risk. My watch has full access to my internal internet, even without the phone.

I get it. I have been tricked. But I also never pledged an oath to protect the US.

One reason the AP exam is so popular is because teachers are rewarded with luxury working vacation if they choose to graders

Sometimes the rubric is very defined, other times the rubric can be modified as students responses show some normal variation. What is true is that there are a few parts to each FRQ and students tend to lose points by not attempted each pat, but giving up too quickly.

I suspect that AP CS teachers learned from ChatGPT.

Every year there are truly horrible AP teachers who cry because thier student got every question correct but still only got a 5. This is ok for a history or English teachers, they likely have no math ability, but not for science, math or computers..

For those of us who design good tests and understand the AP exam know that some students will randomly get questions correct, and many tests are designed to have very difficult questions, not only for benchmarking purpose, but also as a discriminator.

The AP exam is certainly designed to finely discriminate between the three levels of qualifications. Any single question is not significant. One year I recall a question that merely tested students ability to solve problems creatively.

This post shows all that is wrong with AP CS education. Worthless

On the other hand conservatives are always armed and will joyfully murder anyone that tries to steal a dollar or if you give a bag of meth to so do.

Likely multiple issues with bad design. First, the modern street light should not be visible from space, except as dim reflected light. Second, it should not leak horizontally either.

On the other hand, in my experience the street lights are not the problem. It is the residential security lights.

In the US wind is in central US and on coasts. Canada though has wind resources throughout the east. I donâ(TM)t know how easy it is to build.

I am imagining some 1970s pick up artist asking a girl if she wants to see his new hi fi stereo.

So they just own all the affordable real estate within a reasonable commuting distance.

Exactly what I was thinking. We are back to the company town, the company store.

Guthrie wrote about waiting driving to California to get a job. He and others had to wait in the company camp. The company was happy to loan money for food.

The laws are much different now. But the risks are real.

They could not get competent local workers.

Yes, we all know you are mad at the Arabs for stealing your water so canâ(TM)t have a pool and garden in the desert? Have you thought of moving.

My dad returned to farming after retirement. If he grew lettuce, he would have made nothing you need to grow real cash crops. Another change is the disappearance of the local grocery store. He was able to negotiate a fair price for produce. The store received fresh picked produce delivered to them. The consumer recieved fresher product than they otherwise would have. Everyone won.

Big box stores needs to convert on location in each city to vertical farming they need to contract to firms like this who can deliver high profit crops year round. Berries, tomatoes, etc.

The leakers now leak innuendo, vague pieces from hard drives, stuff they find in random trash cans.

It depends what easy is. I would say the battery should be reparable by anyone who can safely remove a back cover and the battery should not be soldered in. In one small town where I go regularly there is this guy just sitting there all day repairing phones. He should be able once he has a battery to put it in in five minutes

A private investor is investing in a startup. So who is the startup composing they did not get the money?
