Students should be encouraged to try to hack the school IT system, and given a reward if they succeed. And in fact there should be a crippled model of the IT system that they can practice on. If you get in with significant privileges you get graded appropriately. Meanwhile the real system is siloed off somewhere and thoroughly backed up.
>> The bleaching of a coral reef is cyclic, it's not a permanent destruction.
Utter bullshit from MacMann as usual.
Recent bleaching events have destroyed coral in many places and it was even mentioned in the summary; "more than 50% of the coral reefs around the world have been lost, mostly over the past 10 years". I've seen it with my own eyes, vast fields of previously healthy coral that is now completely dead and the structures have crumbled to the sea floor. Thousands of years of growth obliterated in a decade. All of the associated wildlife now missing.
>> It would appear they are quite durable and survived very wide swings in changes to their local climate.
An obvious lie.
It's "the second-highest mountain on Earth".

>> they better be making their own plans for replacement parts
And that appears to be the case, the Chinese are merely providing the IP under license.
The EU automakers are "looking to use Chinese intellectual property to roll out new models rapidly". "Chinese automakers sell EV technology in a box". It will be a "licensing and royalty service".
Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 is the premium coding engine in my experience. They charge extra for it and for good reason. I use other cheaper models if I am running low on credits but Claude 4 definitely rules if you value your time.
This is the only thing I've ever seen out of the trump disaster that I agree with. There's a constant stream of drug commercials on daytime TV urging you to "ask your doctor about" some targeted drug for a specific ailment. As if the doctor you are seeing didn't already know about it.
And then a stupefying long list of side effects spoken in quick-talk that are way more serious than the disease. They count on you going to the doctor and insisting on trying it though and he might go along with it just to get you out of his hair. These prescription drug ads should never have been allowed.
I've been using Perplexity for some things recently and it is surprisingly helpful. More like an agent than a simple browser. It lists the sites it has looked at as a result of your query and summarizes the results, it has saved me some time.
Seems like it would be pretty easy to figure out where the jamming is coming from.
I'm just remarking on the parts price for this thing, most of which can probably be bought off the shelf. It looks like the enclosure is being held together with zip ties. Fluffy bunny is just a toy on a stick.
Obviously people will pay $4k/each for the service. For that price something reliably lethal should happen to the snake.
It costs $4k? Wow!
It looks like there's a rod attached to the 'rabbit' that probably jiggles it around some periodically. Probably some kind of motion detector that triggers when the snake climbs up to the pen. A cellphone module that sends the alert (and for that money there better be a photo of the snake). I'm figuring less than $500 in parts.
>> Someone could fork it, but that doesn't solve any security issues.
Someone could fork it and be less likely to decide (or be forcibly persuaded) to inject some subtle vulnerabilities in the future.
Fair enough, how about the median?
https://www.salary.com/researc...
The median pay for a plumber in the US is $64,810. That means half the plumbers make less than $30/hr.
For electricians the median is $61,630.
At $35/hr you are going to be watching every penny, a member of the 'working poor' class.
>> I bet there are some perfectly nice houses in Texas for under $150K.
There are some under $150k, but they aren't "perfectly nice" and they may be in places where you can't even get a job.
Always look over your shoulder because everyone is watching and plotting against you.
