From Wikipedia,
Following the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie presented to President Donald Trump the possibility of hiring Wray as Comey’s replacement.
So fire the dude you appointed and replace with someone more loyal. Well this will go well /s
As mentioned, about:config, allows you to configure all settings. It provides a minimal UI.
A subset of these settings are also available in the standard settings menu.
Realistically the settings menu can’t contain EVERY setting, at least not giving the current UI. The UI as designed is meant to support the most common options.
Your complaint is that the options you found should be part of the common options.
Mozilla collects telemetry data. So presumably their data doesn’t show them that those settings are so popular that they need to be in the settings menu.
Now that doesn’t mean their data is perfect. Or maybe they’re missing a specific use case. In which case filing a big might be the best option.
The last racing game I played was 10+ years ago, Need for Speed Underground. I really enjoyed it. Would I enjoy this?
It’s not that the deal will only last 60 days, just that they have 60 days to move everyone back and out of the aggressive range.
Realistically it’s just boilerplate language. It’s 60 days to pack up and go home, which is perfectly fair and reasonable.
Of course in reality this might just be a short reprieve. While both sides might be quiet for the next 60ish days (which is good), they might be right back at it for a variety of reasons, including the change in US leadership.
Trump’s team on Friday formally told the GSA that they would not utilize… …government email accounts, phones and computers during the transition.
But her emails?
But still, why would you even have this gigantic set of unused scores in your system?
Someone might be able to answer this better, but that is the system, I’m not sure I can tell you why. I’m guessing it’s meant to roughly mirror how much of the information you (the one being tested) understand/can verify you understood.
So only knowing 50% of the material is considered a failure. (Same for up to 65% of the material in some cases).
In terms of points I understand now what you mean and that is also usually true. Class participation might be 30% of your grade, homework might be 30% of your grade and tests might be 40% of your grade. So 30/30 (participation) + 30/30 (homework) + 5/40 (tests), might result in a barely passing grade of 65/100.
Yeah, we’re in an agree to disagree situation. I don’t think either of us have enough information. I’m not confident failing the class is needed. Obviously this going to court is too far, and I agree with the court le decision, but in terms of punishment I don’t feel failure of the class is needed, given the information available. I’m not against it given a more detailed write up if the incident, but I would need to see a lot more information.
I think we’re at an agree to disagree point, but let’s continue with your proposal.
It they fail a class what’s next? Is there an opportunity to make it up within that year? Is summer school an option? Do they need to repeat their Junior year?
If they can make it up somehow within that year, I’m ok with that. If summer school is on the table, I’m willing to hear that out. If someone needs to repeat their entire Junior year? That seems overly punitive.
I don’t think cheating as a 16-17 year old warrants having to repeat a year. I think depending on what’s involved in summer school and depending on what the student has planned, it could be fair but it might be overkill.
I think a 16-17 year old kid deserves a fair chance to correct the mistake. Maybe I’m being overly generous, maybe he’s a whiny piece of shit. Maybe he’s just a kid who didn’t fully understand the technology he was using. This should be a conversation between parent, teacher and student.
The student was a Junior in high school, 16-17 years old. We don’t need to destroy them to get the message across. Being overly punitive is “an” option, but not one that I would support. Sure if the only options are fail the class or sue the school to overturn the grade, I choose fail the class. However I prefer an option in the middle.
A high school student cheating on a paper is a mistake. High School is the time to make mistakes and allow for corrections. Making that mistake at the College level, that’s a zero. Making that mistake at the Employed level means you get fired.
The parents are completely in the wrong here and are teaching their child the wrong lesson. The parents are making an argument that doesn’t apply to high school students. Hell it arguably doesn’t apply at the College or Employee level, but that’s a conversation for another day.
The school is being lenient to give the student a place to grow from. The school being overly strict and beating down a student helps no one. The school and parents should be in alignment here. A middle ground might have been the ability to redo the assignment.
My only hope is that at this point, after the decision of the court, is that the student understands what they did wrong. I hope the parents do too, but the student is the important one here.
Obviously it’s a different system, so I can’t really compare. If 5 out of 15 is a passing grade one might look at that as you only absorbing 1/3rd of the material. If you only know that little of the material you’re not necessarily ready for the next step.
Obviously in my example 2 tests is just an example. Realistically you might have 10 tests. If you score 80/100 on 9 tests and then a 0 on 1 test, you average low 70s, if you got a 65, you average high 70s. The grade of high 70s is a more accurate representation. However change a single one of those 80/100 to another 0 and now you average mid 60s, possibly failing. Keep those two 0s as a 65 and you stay in the high 70s, which is a more accurate representation. If your two 0s are at the start of the semester, even if you improve you’re in a hole.
As you noted in Germany that final oral exam has a higher weight, possibly the most weight when it comes to your grade. However you also mention doing your homework diligently. What if you didn’t? What if you didn’t initially but turn it around?
It’s a balance. Someone who shows clear drive and puts in the effort should be rewarded. There does have to be a bar somewhere, but it’s not black and white.
So he’s a High School student and as High School students do, they fuck up. Ideally they are given a punishment, given the ability to learn from it, and grow. That’s why they don’t fail the whole course.
As for the 65, there is a thought that if you give a student a 0 then they are thrown into a hole from which they cannot escape. If there were only two assignments for the class and you received a 0 on the first and a 100 on the second you’d receive an average grade of 50 and fail the class. As a result why try on the second assignment if you fail no matter what. If the 0 is a 65 then you can still dig your way out and pass the class.
The goal is to give growing students a chance to recover. It’s a fine line to walk.
Basically this is a rare “good” pick for Trump, terrible for everyone else. This is someone who is arguably qualified for the job and has a track record of making things worse for everyone else.
Not really, she’s just being political.
If you say “I always knew he was a raging narcissist.” then you clearly had a bias against him, so whatever you say next is just a further expansion of that bias.
If you say “I thought he was normal, but I learned more.” then you went in this with an open mind and people are more likely to listen to what you learned.
Since I didn’t see it listed yet, fear of change.
Some folks are just fearful of change.
Rarely is a change proposal black and white. We can show you good data to support the change. We can look at it from a reputable source. We can look at how the change affected others. We can agree it’s most likely a good change.
But sometimes we fear it.
What if we’re wrong?
Five months is a crazy amount of time to hold something. Five months ago Biden was running for President. I’m not against a general rule that limits when a report is released, but people should who who their candidate is.
As a user this is content I would expect to see in this community and if the rules need clarification they should include posts like this.
Reading the notes in https://lemmy.world/post/2536430 (linked in the sidebar),
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
This post certainly relates to gaming, which to me means as currently worded fits rule #1.
All the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed
I’m not against publishing the claims, but I hope it’s clear what was claimed and what was investigated. Additionally what the results of those investigations were.
If MTG claimed something and that investigation went nowhere, I want it to be clear that no information was found. That isn’t to say something didn’t happen, the investigation isn’t perfect, but I want a fully transparent report.
Algorithms are fine when an algorithm is open, clear and optional. The default sort for many apps/UI is “Active”, that’s an algorithm. It may be a simple one, but it’s an algorithm.
Except now they know the individuals using your Internet.
Sure if you live alone they already can easily put that information together. However if you have a partner, a relative and children all living in one house they now know who is in that home.
Plus maybe no one in the house uses Twitter and Aunt Alice the Twitter user came to visit, does she need to reverify? Your ISP knows that now.
ISPs would be gaining a lot of new information.
