A number of measures to help students concentrate are taken during the annual event such as closing the country’s airspace and delaying the opening of the stock market.
That is what thinking of the children really looks like. Here in the US we just make stupid age verification laws for porn sites like it is going to make porn hard for teenagers to get.
The US intelligence apparatus doesn’t do this. The OPM does.
As per your second paragraph and many other comments. I agree. It is hard to avoid it being politicized at any step of the process. Everything interview would have to be recorded. Copies of all reviewed records would need to be kept. Adjudicators would need heavily redacted transcripts of the records and interviews.
I was the same way. IMO, philosophy is WAY underrated. If the takeaway from intro to philosophy courses is ancient Greeks had some strange ideas about atoms and such, that is missing the point. Below is for anyone that has never touched philosophy at all.
Ethics is NOT what the corporate ethics things say about following the rules. Ethics in this context would raise the question of whether always following company rules is the right thing to do? Is right and wrong objective or subjective? Is something right in some contexts but wrong in others? Which system of thought should you be using (consequentialism, virtue, deontological)? I was just following orders when I murdered those people! By our laws it was legal, therefore right! It is a great way to persuade people and make decisions.
Epistemology is absolutely key to critical thinking. How do you determine what you know vs what you merely believe? Can you trust that error message is accurate? Can you trust your memory? Personal experience? It is a great way to build a world class bullshit detector.
Metaphysics gets you to think about things at a more foundational level. Think about a stop sign. Is it a red octogon with stop in white letters? Not everywhere. It could be a cop or crossing guard with their hand out. It could be a red light. It could be a red sign that isn’t an octogon at all. It is a great way to learn to challenge your assumptions about the nature of the world and things.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a take away by some people. The rebuttal:
It is a book about how to write unambiguously and clearly.
Clear writing isn’t useful? Think about arguments about phrases in the Constitution. Clarity would make those problems go away. I could name half a dozen STEM applications of quality writing off the top of my head:
20 year IT veteran here. What are your areas of interest?
Some potential areas:
Strunks Elements of Style should be mandatory reading every year of high school.
Match him right and maybe it could be like The Viper and the Mountain.
Rudy vs Alex
Dozens of other nations: “What they said!”
They get paid 274k…DC is expensive, but anyone that can’t live very comfortably on that is awful with money. Being awful with money will lose you a TS clearance because it makes you susceptible to bribery by spies. I would think it would also be a disqualifier for a SCOTUS judge for the same reason.
I think maintaining a TS clearance should be a requirement for all positions above a certain level in the federal government. Not because they need access to TS information, but to ensure they are at a lower risk of bribery, adversarial interests, and criminal activity. Getting a TS clearance isn’t terribly hard. Just generally have your act together. As long as you aren’t a train wreck, a drug addict, a criminal, an untrustworthy asshat, or have connections to adversaries, you will pass adjudication. TLDR: A TS clearance would ensure high level government employees are minimumly functional humans.
Wow is that an old version of NGINX. Bad sys admin! If you are going to change your server string, have some fun. Set it to “server 1.0. Today’s special is caramel horse apple”
The poor thing is probably mining bit coins and deploying ransomware!
Believe it or not, the woke backlash thing seems to be false:

Anybody that is a fan or even old enough to know who Pink Floyd has seen that 50 year old album cover.
Anyone following them where they would see that post is going to be aware of this.
As much as I hate the anti-woke stuff from the right, it appears this is pure sensationalism.
This means two things. One, they (the right in the US) go on about it so much, people don’t bother fact checking. Two, the left isn’t immune to BS.
Which is blatant incompetence considering there is a very straightforward RFC covering domain names.
Juries have a LOT of discretion regarding damages in civil cases. The damages are what the 12 jurors say it is.
Never eat pears!
I loved his regeneration speech about how to be.
Why would an autistic person need an anti psychotic? I’m not an MD, but that just doesn’t make much sense? Also, in this case, making it worse, I would think this reaction would be in his medical records that they should have reviewed…
TCNs, or third country nationals. People from neither the US or locals.
From my understanding the reason why is the almighty dollar. They don’t get paid nearly as much as our troops and contractors, but still a lot more than they would make at home. There is quite a bit of info about it if you do a quick search.
Also a cinnabon. And a coffee shop called green bean. And a pizza shop. And much more. Sometimes DFACs 1 and 4 gets old.
This is serious. If the USAF sets up shop anywhere we plan on having a presence for a while, there will be some amenities. Even if the base is bombed on a regular basis.
Conservative = my group is better than yours so we deserve power and resources
Tactics:
Scape goating a weak group to sell it to a lower class (E.g. Pre MLK US blacks - poor whites)
Appealing to fear and presenting a protector strong man
Appealing to tradition and good old days (that sucked)
Anti intellectualism
