Because USA, land of the free, and armed.. There is too much violence and tools enabling there, so everyone needs ways to survive. Cams are useful to locate all kind of problems; gun are not the only tool used.. I guess this is the price of liberty.
Because every other country on the planet when faced with the same kind of issue tightened its gun controls in response - Britain had a famous school shooting which immediately led to outlawing all hangun possession by private individuals, there hasn't been a shooting since(despite gun ownership in the UK being actually relatively high, it's pretty common for farmers to have shotguns). In contrast, whenever a school shooting happens in the US(and it's almost 100% every single day of the year now), legislators propose loosening gun restrictions to solve the issue. With some prominent voices saying that well if only teachers were armed, this wouldn't be a problem. And thus, the school shootings in the US not only happen every day, they are such a normal occurance that no one protests at the idea of automated AI cameras scanning students for weapons or schools having metal detectors or armed officers on site, all of which are insane in pretty much every other society. But no, in US you can't solve that - and I have no doubts that we'll have replies to this very comment explaining why US is so special that these same measures couldn't possibly work or worse - how those daily school shootings are a necessary price to pay for freedom of gun ownership and upholding the constitution.
As a parent, I would like more cameras in schools, since students’ abuse gets ignored, and the person fighting back gets more punishment than the instigator.
As a former student/child, who fortunately has grown up in a place where none of the ridiculous restrictions typical for US schools existed, I find extremely sad that there are such places on Earth where the management of a school has decreed that the student was guilty even without possessing any weapon because "was holding his musical instrument like a rifle".
If not even the children can play any more however they want, for fear that automated surveillance would identify them as "pretending to have a weapon", which can result in punishment, I believe that such a society has serious problems for which it certainly did not find the right solution. I would not want for myself or for my children to live in such a place.
As someone who read the actual article, nowhere did it say that the student was decreed guilty. In fact, the police explicitly said "no further action was needed." Unclutch your pearls.
I believe that you have not read carefully either the article or my posting.
I have not said anything about the police.
I have quoted directly from the article exactly what the school management said.
It is the school management who has said that the guilty party in this incident is neither the school nor the surveillance equipment, but the student who "was holding his musical instrument like a rifle". (This does not even take into consideration that there may be legitimate reasons for holding a musical instrument like a rifle, e.g. for checking it for defects or dirt.)
It is also the school management who implied that they will reprimand any student for "pretending to have a weapon".
I do not know how you played as a child, but "pretending to have a weapon" is certainly an exceedingly common behavior, perhaps more so in countries where people would never think about using true weapons.
The post you are responding to is about punishing the victim because teachers are too lazy/cowards to punish the culprits. Cams incentivize them to do the right thing.
Even if the situations are noticed and seen fully, does it cause the schools to not punish the victim? The stories I've heard about zero tolerance policies were that _even when the situation was fully obvious_, victims got punished because they took part in an altercation.
The video evidence is just one piece of the puzzle that is needed to help administrators properly adjudicate conflicts, and to help the public hold the administrators accountable.
If the rot is so deep that even who was right and who was wrong does not matter, then that is a separate issue that members of the public need to sort out with each other.
By removing the defense of plausible deniability for administrators, just like bodycams do for cops and dash cams do for bad drivers.
It should be legally required for daycares to have cameras. Those kids cannot communicate, so there is zero accountability there. And this only becomes a thing because it’s so incredibly cheap to add the accountability.
Obviously, in before times, when it was too expensive, a cost benefit decision has to be made to go with trust only. But now that the cost is trivial, that cost benefit decision has to be revisited.
Java's not gone anywhere, but it's been years since I've interviewed anyone who has made it their language of choice. Developer sentiment for it isn't exactly great.
A decade ago, a good ~80% of applicants chose to use it or C#.
I personally don't have any issues with working with it, but nobody's learning it outside of work.
On the other hand, it is quite easy to learn, so there's that going for it.
Listen throw7, Meta paid almost £30 million in tax in 2023, an effective tax rate of 12%. I'm unsure why numbers for 2024 aren't available but you'll need to speak to legal about that.
If you want to throw7 that all away over some media speculation be my guest. I'll tell the NHS to fund themselves for 11 minutes next year to make up the shortfall.
She already had a decent following and a channel that was several years old, and I assume that played a large part in her initial content pivot success. I assume most of her original followers would be annoyed and eventually unsubscribed, but honestly, I didn't notice her shift for a while (looks like her last legit business content was about six months ago)
I've seen this repeated all over the internet, but it's far from true. CPM/RPM on adult video is way, way, WAY lower than YouTube or other SFW ad networks.
I think the commenter only meant that there is such a thing as RF engineering. But that to be effective, RF engineering would require the local authorities to have some level of control over the region they want to shut down.
Thus, the authorities must not have that control.
I agree with the commenter from a technical perspective. It's extremely easy to cut off SpaceX terminals in some area if you control that area.
I just don't think that's relevant. It's not the local authorities the rest of the world is lining up behind, it's the regional players around Myanmar. The regional players can countenance the local authorities only slightly more than the warlords and gang leaders. What the local authorities want is almost completely irrelevant to the regional players.
Find me an FTP server which integrates with your entire productivity, communication and collaboration suites easily enough that an admin can run a 50k person company off of it and equally Doris from accounts can manage to get some work done.
I hate SharePoint, but i use/administer it every day and it works, mostly.
Exposing it to the internet is a mistake. Why anyone would do that is beyond me.
Why are there cameras in schools? Why are they looking for guns? Why are they using AI to do it?
Could this not all be avoided by not letting kids have guns or am i missing the point?
