Happened to venture into an extremely bad openair unsanitary drug infested area of Sanjose , apparently in a "Developed so called first world country of tHE USA" where we had a Georgia Tech gettogether.

Ancient India was a global center for science, wealth, and spirituality. Islamic invasions led to destruction of temples, looting, and loss of knowledge. British colonial rule extracted trillions in wealth, caused famines, and suppressed Indian sciences. The Portuguese Goa Inquisition, supported by Francis Xavier, forced conversions and persecuted Hindus. These invasions and colonial policies devastated India's prosperity and cultural heritage.

If you want to go more 2D graphics, CMU CS Academy (Carnegie Mellon U) has some free browser based tools/programs for Python programming with graphics, a lot like Processing if you're familiar with it. I customize most of the lessons though, as it can be a bit basic/repetitive, but it has a sandbox that you can play with

I've used MC:EE with a lot of success with 8th graders for one semester elective, lots of engagement. It utilizes MakeCode which supports, block, JavaScript and Python. The students, even the 'non-coder' ones, love it -- a simple loop to spawn creatures, or using the Agent to build a structure with nested loops is a more engaging that a lot of traditional lessons. By the end of my class, the kids learn all the core stuff (variable, lists, loops, control-flow, some OOP basics, writing their own functions with parameters, etc.) that you're probably aiming for. Not sure of your age levels, but there's enough complexity available that if you have older kids you can definitely adapt it to more challenging projects.
Yes, it's gamification, but that's not always a negative. I use that class as a feeder into our more advanced stuff for high school, and the vast majority of kids who do the MineCraft stuff enroll in our high school classes.
Honestly, it's also a lot of fun to teach with, I mean, it's MineCraft...
I've been teaching for 8+ years, it's not easy so I know jumping into it is a challenge, but stick with it -- focus on the fun, do a lot of project-based learning, and give the kids so more control over the projects they work on, they will be more involved if that have more agency.

Companies like Amazon seem to be betting on the AI taking over theory. It's probably the only explanation that makes sense now, because their reputation among skilled technical people will be permanently damaged by moves like this. It won't suddenly repair itself whenever the pendulum swings back to being an employee's market, if the great AI revolution turns out to be just another hype cycle after all.
Working at a FAANG used to be attractive to a lot of highly skilled technical people and having employment history inside that bubble used to be a positive thing on your resume. I'm not sure how true either of those things is any more. Maybe those who are still there and making premium TC in a big US city are still getting a decent deal out of it. For others, most of those big brands seem to be increasingly unattractive, and having history there seems to be increasingly regarded as neutral or even negative when employers outside that bubble are hiring.
FWIW, I'm a little more optimistic. In the UK, we don't have the kind of pork barrel politics that is endemic to some other western democracies. The ICO are, like many government regulators, under-resourced, but they are basically trying to do a decent job and I think moves like the one we're discussing here today are going in the right direction.
... ruining America and taking the world economy down with it.
Too much Greed. Not enough Dharma.
It gets weirder. Rhapsody had been Sonos' partner streaming service - and Rhapsody is also... I HEART RADIO. Now the whole Napster lot got dumped in the lap of venture capital vultures.
And most people will roll over, or bend over, for this shit - either because they feel they have no choice, or because they're incapable of grasping the implications and consequences.
Which is exactly why it's vital for governments and their regulatory bodies to step in and protect the ordinary citizen who isn't an expert on these things from the abuse that the big companies who are will otherwise commit in the name of profit, just as they already do with financial services, caterers, healthcare providers, and so on.
Then you'd see no air fryers, smart TV's or smart speakers being sold in the UK for a reasonable price.
Fantastic. Then we can go back to having dumb devices that just do their jobs and don't have all the other junk attached competing for the market instead. That worked for a few generations before all the 1984 stuff. I'm betting it will work just fine for generations after it too.
And please spare us the rhetoric about how nothing could possibly be affordable if it doesn't violate our privacy to help pay for itself. The difference in pricing in a competitive market is likely to be pretty small. The only reason they can get away with intruding as much as they do right now is that market competition has failed because everyone is lapping up the free money. I, for one, am glad the ICO has other ideas about how things should be

Hinduism and Hindu Bharat is not a polythestic nor a warmongering tradition as some Christian missionaries and Islamic hatemongers might have you believe. Idols are our symbols for Universal cosmic consciousness. Much like a photograph that reminds us of our loved ones.
Our oldest Vedic Hindu scripture, the Rg Veda, 5000+ years old says that God is the innermost Consciousness within all creatures. People call Him or Her by different names.
Dont believe everything the Christian missionaries or Islamic hatemongers feed you. Our way is worship for the Divine Mother of the Universe, Yoga and peace https://www.perplexity.ai/sear... âïðY(TM)ðYðY--ðY'ðY®ðYðYðYðY
