If you’re in hiding from the mafia or the FBI, I can definitely understand your concern. How exactly are the rest of us harmed by Pandora letting your friends know what kind of music you like? Is this really the case? I’ve noticed that all these arguments against facebook rely on a common axiom: Privacy is important. However, the answer to the question, “What problems does this raise?” is difficult to find. If you have any inquiries concerning where and how to make use of #kidsontheyard, you can contact us at the internet site. Is it so bad to learn that someone you know just purchased a similar book at Barnes & Noble, or also read an article at CNN? I’ve applied all the math I can, and the only value of x that I can find is: have a more accurate idea of who you are. We all seem to have the idea that if we put a piece of information online, someone will find it and do x with it.
What’s your question ?
The atmospheric river, known as a ‘Pineapple Express’ because it brought warm subtropical moisture across the Pacific from near Hawaii, was melting lower parts of the huge snowpack built in California´s mountains.
I think there are other factors,’ Preston said. ‘There are a lot of children that are facing homelessness that are not attending classes regularly … a lot of these children are coming from poverty-stricken communities.
AG Jason Miyares wrote to Cooper Middle School in McLean after the school sent an email to eighth grade parents asking if they children would benefit from a scheme to help them with college applications. The email, sent around March 1, said the course was only open to black or Hispanic students.
Savvy users can adjust their settings to make less things public, but certain information such as your name, friends, and your interests are public and stay that way. This last part is causing the recent consternation. I recently read a study in which it was found that people can find out a lot of information about you by only looking at your public friends list.
Miyares wrote: ‘Please cease and desist the illegal conduct of soliciting and selecting applicants to the College Partnership Program based on race, color and national origin. This matter is under investigation by the Office of Civil Rights.’
The school then clarified that the course was open to all, and stressed that the website – unlike the email – said only that ‘a typical college prep student’ was black, Hispanic, Native American or economically disadvantaged.
If you don’t want to communicate any more than you did ten years ago, you probably didn’t create an account. Since my generation joined (20, more or less), facebook has changed: likely your boss and grandmother are online, advertisements are targeted to your interests, and most recently, certain information from your profile is sent to other websites when you visit them. First, some background. Most people joined Thefacebook as an easy way to stay in contact with family and friends. People upload photos, talk about themselves, message their friends, and just communicate more than they used to.
The March 1 email said lessons were only available, however, to black or Hispanic students, as well as those with disabilities, language barriers, economic disadvantages or those who were the first in their family to apply.
If someone takes the time to look at my account they will find the best possible representation of me, perhaps even better than actually meeting me. I am introverted and not, in general, a very social person. Anyone with a facebook account can read this note and any part of my profile. On the other hand, my profile is completely public information.
Why should you temper your life to better fit someone else’s expectations? An example often used to prove privacy’s importance is that employers look at the facebook profiles of people they are interviewing. If you aren’t hired on these justifications, I don’t think you would have enjoyed the job anyway. Perhaps he will notice from a picture that you sometimes enjoy an adult beverage. Your potential boss will find out that you like to watch Family Guy, listen to Lady Gaga, play football, and read Science Fiction.
One only has to look at Google, Wikipedia, or yes, facebook to find how access to information is a good thing. At least the Luddites were angry that they were losing their jobs. The accessibility of information has been increasing ever since the invention of the printing press. I’m confident that in a few short years, any information at all will be available to anyone in the world. In fairness, here’s my facebook account Why are you rallying against the expansion of information? Think of these implications!
Across the Central Coast’s Monterey County, more than 8,500 people were under evacuation orders and warnings Saturday, including roughly 1,700 residents – many of them Latino farmworkers – from the unincorporated community of Pajaro.
The National Weather Service on Saturday forecasted an intensified bout of rain and snow Monday through Wednesday, with considerable flooding possible along the state’s central coast, San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys and the southern Sierra Nevada foothills into midweek.
