Too bad half the political spectrum wants prisons to be as terrible as possible.

I learned it meant fuck when I was taking Spanish classes in Texas in the 90s.

You'll care if you're trying to sue someone and you want to win.

Except the suits aren't going to be the ones hurt by the company going down in flames.

I think California has privacy laws. At the national level I don't think we have anything except HIPAA, which only covers medical data.

As for why the police thought the evidence was sufficient, it's because they just don't care.

I never said anything about restricting access to information. We're talking about banning phones from classrooms, which I see as no different from not letting kids drive cars.

In the US it's common to give students "word problems" that describe a scenario and ask them to answer a question that requires applying whatever math they're studying at the time. Students hate them and criticize the problems for being unrealistic, but I think they really just hate word problems because because they find them difficult. To me that means they need more word problems so they can actually get used to thinking about how math relates to the real world.

Ever heard of robots? You can't make the real world digital but you can certainly give computers access to the physical world.
