Just because it's art does not mean that it isn't stupid.

Come to think of it, I need that printed up on a shirt....

I take it you missed the bonus level, then. Shame.

I went to public school for K-12 and a state school for my undergrad. It's not nearly as bad as some may suggest.

If I knew it was workplace policy, I would be fine with it, because I could work elsewhere if I wasn't.

As someone who has had to deal with plagiarism in courses taught, I am very much in favor of detention on first offenses for failure to cite sources or quote works. It's a serious problem later in life, especially for those in fields where scholarly publication is a key part of work. Plagiarism, accidental or intentional, will get you rejected from publication and (depending on circumstances) could get you fired or open your school/company up to lawsuits.

Untied shoes increase the risk of tripping and falling. Private schools have to worry about the cost of insurance against injury claims, and want to maximize students' ability to attend class (as opposed to being in the infirmary/hospital).

If these are the rules, then they do warrant a detention, by definition. You disagree with these detentions. I disagree with your disagreeing. Regardless of our opinion, these are the rules.

I strongly encourage bans on junk food in schools, and harsh punishment of potential plagiarism. If you want good behavior later, you have to encourage it.

I'd say the lesson is more like "parents are monetarily disincentivized from supporting behavior that results in detention". Detention is not free childcare.

Attendance of non-public schools is not a right. Failure to comply with rules can (and, I would argue, should) result in punishment for failure to obey known policies and rules.

That, plus you wouldn't have to worry so much about a particular "ship" hitting or generating debris.

That isn't what they want to do here. What they want to do is become the prime retailer for a set of products that people start buying at certain stages in their lives. Like how Gillette will send out free razors to people when the turn 18 to try and make them Gillette consumers for their life's supply of shaving products. Target here is trying to predict people who are pregnant and have reached the stage where they are ready to buy the associated baby products and providing incentives for these people to buy the products at Target. Then, the customers will be predisposed to continue buying these products at Target.

They aren't trying to convince them to buy products they don't need, they are trying to convince them to buy a new range of products that they will need or want to buy from a specific retailer.

Sure. The real question is: what is the operating point (detection vs. false alarm, or false positives versus false negatives, or ...)?

I imagine that the cost of mailing out pregnancy coupons, both paper costs and PR, is low enough to tolerate a lot of bad guesses.

You think that text is more precise than voice for communicating ideas?

Riiiiiiiight.....

There's a "lite" version (also v2).

Do you both have rights to them? That's the whole point of the question: who "owns" the intentionally-shared "mutually"-created data?

And all those family photos on the media server connected to the TV...?
