"legitimate government interests" should be enough to scare everyone. It's not for criminals, just like gun control is not about criminals. Think the worst, 'cause it don't get any better!
I think it's fun to create anything, especially if it involves programming by myself, outside of a stupid agile environment with Scrum idiots running around preaching the gospel.
Wealth has nothing to do with poor kids under performing in school. It has to do with not having a father in the house and the proper values being taught.
There's no hungry kids starving and being saved by the Federal School Lunch Program, and there's not any lead paint on the walls of the public housing, and schools have plenty of resources as evidenced by the multi-million dollar budgets the districts have. But leave it up to the Leftist to ride in to the rescue spouting off about the poor being disadvantaged.
There are poor people, but most are just sponging off the welfare system. And these people can get jobs and school loans just like I and others have done. And you know what? Welfare and school loans are there to help these people, and effort has a lot to do with their making it!
It's cool and all, but I was hoping they would find a bunch of gold bars or something. It's kind of a bummer to go through all that and just find some shoes and canned goods... :( Actually, I'd be pretty pissed off.
Seriously, does it even matter? Your ISP knows all, the NSA knows all, the free email service providers know all. There is no privacy. Having said that, I still don't like that they know I look at porn. :)
This is just more bullshit to waste money on. In 8 years of development, I can count on one hand the programmers who showed any interest in programming outside of work, or that have GitHub accounts, or that know what a Binary Tree is. Programming has become, for the most part, Web development and the barrier to entry is so low that anyone can enter it after studying material off the Internet and watching YouTube videos. To be even more controversial, CS is not even needed for most programming today, but only for passing interviews.
100% agree. A basic Udacity course in programming can be very effective in teaching programming. These days all the Necessary educational material is available free off the internet.
