CIPA Children's Internet Protection Act
The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires schools and libraries that receive E-rate funding for internet access or internal connections to implement internet safety policies and technology protection measures. These measures must include blocking access to obscene, child pornography, or harmful material. Schools must also adopt policies for monitoring online activities of minors and addressing issues like cyberbullying and privacy. To receive E-rate funding, schools and libraries must certify that their internet safety policies and technology protections are in place.
Acceptable Internet Use In Schools
The document discusses acceptable internet use policies (AUPs) in schools. It notes that while the internet provides educational resources, it also contains unacceptable materials. As such, schools implement AUPs to define appropriate internet access and use. AUPs outline access rules, behavioral guidelines, and consequences for violations. They aim to educate students on responsible online behavior through signed agreements rather than restrictive blocking software. The document provides details on components that should be included in effective AUPs.
Wingate copyright critique portfolio

Cooking up a storm paul haigh
The document discusses using students' mobile devices in schools for learning. It argues that banning devices is ineffective since students already use them outside of school. Instead, schools should create policies allowing responsible device use under teacher supervision. Examples are given of how students at Notre Dame High School use devices for activities like science experiments, language presentations, fieldwork, and research. The policy focuses on banning irresponsible use rather than the devices themselves.
Rachel nachman aup policy project
The document provides an overview of acceptable use policies (AUPs) in schools. It defines an AUP as a legal document that sets standards for responsible computer use. AUPs outline access privileges, rules of online behavior, and consequences for violations. They are designed to educate students on appropriate and inappropriate Internet use, encourage ethical behavior, and protect school networks. AUPs should be clearly written with defined terms and consequences. Montgomery County Public Schools has a county-wide AUP to ensure appropriate and secure use of its computer systems, technology, and electronic information.

Cyberbully Module
Cyberbullying involves inappropriate use of technology to harass, humiliate, or threaten others. It commonly affects students ages 8-15 and can occur through cell phones, emails, social media, and more. Teachers face challenges in addressing cyberbullying, such as determining what constitutes an offense and how to discipline incidents that occur off-campus but impact school. Creating a clear classroom technology policy that defines expectations and consequences can help prevent cyberbullying issues from arising.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Web Filters And Other Evil Doers
- 2. Types of filters. Black list filters These block access to "bad" sites which have been blacklisted. White list filters These are the most restrictive, allowing access only to sites on a list. Keyword/ content list blockers. These check sites for specific keywords and content, and block access if present. Very often, due to the nature of this filter, sites with acceptable content are blocked.
