No, it shouldn’t be illegal to encrypt data. It should be legal because the Government shouldn’t have an automatic right to read anyone’s private messages/information at any time. One pro of end-to-end encryption is that data is secured when it travels from a source to its destination. It also offers high flexibility for user in selecting a data to encrypt. Another pro is that we can easily integrate with the existing solution. We can just add an encryption/decryption layer to the existing solution. One problem is that the authentication of users may be an issue. To add to the last point, the lack of user authentication can make it easier for predators to attack children.

One pro of “right to be forgotten” is that you can determine your own online presence. Also, you can remove any data from your past that makes you look bad. Another pro is you can remove personal details that can compromise your personal and financial safety. A con is that your need for removal may be outweighed by the general public’s interest in accessing and viewing your information. Another con is that there can be a lack of transparency surrounding important information about businesses or other people. One last con is that it can be a potential restraint on the media, journalism, and forms of the 1st Amendment. In my opinion, I believe that the “right to be forgotten” should exist in the United States. I feel this way because I don’t people to access all or even parts of the information that I put …show more content…
A non-recurring decimal may have a recurring representation based on how Python stores it. Thus, it may approximate it to the nearest decimal value with a non-recurring binary counterpart. It‘s not an issue to be worried about right now as the value is different by a very miniscule amount. Also, GPA's are usually rounded off to about two decimal places.
We needed to provide an ‘if statement’ to check if the total number of credits is less than 1. If that’s the case, then the GPA will cross 4 (the maximum possible value). If it’s less than 1, we assign the GPA value 0, since it could not be calculated correctly.
We chose an ‘else statement’ in conjunction to the ‘if statement’ in question 2, where the GPA is calculated if total number of credits is less than or equal to 1. We chose this method in order to calculate the GPA

    To oversimplify, matters surrounding privacy can be color coded. There are some issues that are very black and white related to the need to “violate” privacy. However, there are also quite a few gray areas where more research needs to be conducted and statistics gathered to formulate guidelines to determine when it is indeed necessary. Privacy in general needs to be treated in a way that is different from other rights and based on the serious consequences of not revealing facts that would be considered “private”.…

    Throughout time, many colleges and universities have assigned a great deal of weight to standardized test results as a part of the admissions criteria. However, over the past recent years the objective behind standardized testing being a good indicator of college success has been questioned nearly across the board. While college admissions boards have been using standardized testing since the early 1900s to evaluate students’ potential academic performance, questions have arisen as arguments take the approach of eliminating them from the college admissions process or to further their reasoning and come to the agreement that it is indeed a good indicator of future college success. The topic of college admissions criteria is one that…

According to Jean Bonchak and Matt Skrajner, students who take weighted classes are highly proficient in one or more courses, may be able to test out of certain basic courses in their first year of college.

    I am in disbelief that a department who once was or still is part of the education field would be able to base one's performance off of a standardized test when a GPA is able to determine the work ethic of that individual. As I have been told time and time again that the Praxis writing score of 162 for the University of Iowa was set by the state and is more difficult than one may think to change. I do understand this situation. As I sit here staring at my third score from the Praxis Writing test, I wonder what I am to do. Do I retake the exam again in hope that I pass and that there is still enough openings in the elementary education program that I get in?…

    Information could fall into the wrong hands or it could be sold. If the information is sold we don’t know who has the information now. In addition, Facebook or Google should not be able to make money selling information contained in the blogs, messages, and videos that people post about their private lives.
