BTW, the same “consistent body of social science evidence” that applies to grades ALSO applies to employee review programs.
When “excellence” is purposely made scarce. “Suppose ... every student in your state met the standards and passed the tests. What would the likely reaction be from politicians, businesspeople, and the media? Would these folks ... say, “Damn, those teachers must be good!”?”
Just posted - the more complete (unabridged) version of my recent NY Times op-ed, "Can Everyone Be Excellent?": alfiekohn.org/article/excell…

Yep. That’s why mandatory encryption backdoors are so bad - other nation states will use them against the very lawmakers that required them. (Looking at you Australia!)

Yes, hard to know if it’s a researcher who overstepped their scope or a criminal trying to double-dip (exploit the vuln, then get paid to report it).
Mostly email.

Good way to get banned from bug bounty programs too. Companies will check the logs to see if bug was exploited by criminals, which will include you if you go out of scope.

Loyalty programs will likely be exempt.

Here's a break-down of the #CCPA amendments that passed CA Senate Judiciary Cmtee last night - for those w/Tuesday night social lives. In order of bill#. Almost all passed - several w/amendments may need to be reconciled w/Assembly versions, one 3-3 tie, & one withdrawn. 1/x

Reminds me of the legal and ethical questions raised by researchers who were able to infiltrate and/or take over botnets. Can they set the devices free? Or only allowed to observe? Is it ethical to do nothing and allow harm?

If lawmakers are opposed to requiring states to follow the almost universally agreed-upon best practices for election security, they should just say that. Suggesting that the jury is still out on what those best practices are is factually inaccurate.

The author is in Serbia and runs a polygraph ‘academy’. He discovered teens smoke marijuana and lie about it (shocker). Not sure if he’s selling the forensic tool or polygraph testing, but neither is appropriate and worse, it normalizes invasive tech in personal relationships.
