but the simple method of firing 10% of the worst teachers and reassigning their students to the rest does more to improve schools than anything else.
Most teachers know who the worst of the worst are. Principals know.
If union rules make such an act impossible, keep these 10% worst teachers on payroll and have them sit around watching youtube, but send their students to better teachers.
and anything it sees that's in your favor, they can just discard.
That's how it works currently when it comes to other kinds of evidence, no reason to think Glass data will be any different.
*You* are hearing the same thing over and over again. There are other people who might be seeing this for the first time.
Or am I wrong and the entire ad industry is insane? Everybody at Google is insane?
When you have an important message to convey to the masses, it makes sense to repeat the message until everybody gets it or you reach a saturation point where it might backfire.
Beta sucks btw, but they can keep it as long as I can go into settings and choose the classic skin.
like the cord-cutters who are getting shafted by NBC/cable companies, we Slashdot users are getting boned by Dice with the forced Beta.
Make all the beta skins you want, but allow logged-in users to choose Classic.
The day Classic disappears as an option is the day 90% of slashdot members are gone.
they tried to load Slashdot Beta on the iWatch and it exploded, taking out several hipster Apple testers.
I can't promise we'll implement every suggestion (indeed, many are contradictory), but we absolutely consider them.
You only need to implement ONE suggestion and everyone will be happy. Let people continue to use Classic interface if they choose. That's all you need to do.
Is there even a need for any coding? I thought Slashcode was open source already.
reddit, duh. All the bitcoin pump and dump artists hang out there, it's the worldwide HQ of bitcoin bandwagonism.
Actually I feel the same way about San Francisco. Once every century or so they enjoy a magnitude 9 earthquake. Obviously not the best place to build a densely populated city. Yet after the last magnitude 9 quake, the city leaders and rich elites deliberately downplayed the damage and death toll because they wanted people to come back to the city. They were protecting their wealth, which were tied to the S.F. real estate values.
the glacier will break Mach 1 by 2016 when Hillary is president and Al Gore is secretary of state.
They didn't leave cave paintings or anything that indicates capacity for symbolic reasoning.
Cro-Magnon man on the other hand, left shitloads of evidence like art and jewelry. Those cave painting in France are very extremely well done, probably better drawn than 95% of current human population could do.
as a website maker (I hesitate to use the term developer on slashdot since javascript and php get a lot of hate), I load tons of pages from my own computer -- both my own coded pages and prepackaged stuff like Prestashop ecommerce software and Joomla. And loading pages from localhost is even faster than Google Gigabit fiber internet.
And guess what, it's nice but not life-changing. For example, doing ecommerce admin on a live customer website on the internet via DSL, vs. doing the same thing on my test localhost site. It's faster and less laggy but nothing I would kill for.
The difference between dialup internet and decent cable/DSL was way bigger.
Because the government decreed ActiveX as the standard for banking and other government-related things back in the 90's.
It kinda made sense back then, IE 6 and ActiveX was actually superior to Netscape and Java plug-in (or whatever it was).
The problem is that as time went by, the world moved on, but S.Korea was stuck because everybody was already using ActiveX and they had invested huge amounts of time and money into it. This demonstrates the problem with doing things by government decree. In the US, banks were free to use whatever they damn wanted for their online banking. S.Korea banks had to use ActiveX period.
Sorry, collusion and general douchebaggery is just as much of a leftist Dem characteristic as any other party.
Which party do you think Steve Jobs identified himself with? (hint: it sure as hell ain't the GOP or Tea Party)
If you choose Japanese, you need to install SQR Server 2008.
