... shit is funny, I want to be in on the joke.

We need more whistle blowers.

Super powers are aiding each other and snooping on each other and throwing 'false flags' all behind our backs.

That doesn't make it easy for us to make informed decisions.

It's 'Government by the government for the government'.

Let's just do a thought experiment here, OK?

Let's say your mom clicks on a malicious link. Let's say it's a drive-by. You know what that is. The computer can know, too.

Let's say that the computer mentally installs it and the computer predicts the consequences, kinda like looking ahead 1,000 moves ahead in a chess game.

Then, let's pretend that the computer knows that the intention of the operation is to load a keylogger, or it wants to make her computer a node in a botnet, or it wants to communicate with command and controllers "out there," ... or any other activity which YOU know is harmful.

If YOU know it's harmful, the computer can know as well.

That's the future. I'm very surprised it hasn't arrived way before now.

However, you didn't answer the first question: What is it you are going to do to your mom's computer that you can't get a computer to do for itself?

Granting that students have been exposed to math, let's now take advantage of the research tools at hand and contemplate how well Arkansas is doing in math, shall we?

If you are in the business of selling coding educational crap, it would be to your advantage to do so in Arkansas.

Statistically, their educational system sucks.

Mediocrity won't get you any gigs.

Welcome to death if you are on the losing end.

... follow the money.

There are no statistics that indicate a push for coders is a good idea.

Statistically, a negligible number of students could be affected in a positive way, but they have the tools trhey need to start learning from home.

The rest of the effort is just a an appeasement to the tax payers in a state rated 44th overall.

Coding will not save the Arkansas school system.

How does that fit with this?

You just described kids as "consumers."

Who collects from consumers?

CEOs and shareholders.

By your logic, every kid should be exposed to rigorous math, the violin, pharmaceutical sales, Christian evangelism ...

Why choose coding?

... when the problem is corporate greed that supports CEOs and shareholders.

The middle class is collapsing and it's in a panic. They know where the money is going and they want to prepare their kids so they will be able to play on that turf.

There's no money in coding and, only a tiny percentage of kids have a natural aptitude for it.

The money grab supported by Congress, PACs, Big Business, and SCOTUS has reached a critical mass where there are two layers to American society:

1.) The haves
3.) The have-nots

There are no realistic cures, either ... certainly not teaching children to code.

... do some other things first.

Arkansas is ranked 44.

Y'all are missing the whole point regarding the significance of the Manning breach.

Manning had access to information that was too sensitive for his position and rank. He walked in with a Lady Gaga DVD (that's one) and inserted it into a work computer (that's two) and was allowed to copy stuff (that's three) and he walked out with the stuff in digital form (that's four).

Question:

Answer:

So, you're a traveler, coming from one place and going to another, at a particular time and you've made (or not) certain declarations, and this ain't your first rodeo and stuff.

Advertisers don't have that information ... yet.
