I'm hoping someone with technical knowledge of how Privacy Badger works will read this / be able to answer:
With local learning disabled, is there any need for using the Privacy Badger add-on specifically? Would it be possible to distribute the tracker lists which are generated by Badger Sett in a format compatible with uBlock Origin?
I am not that familiar with uBlock Origin's filtering syntax, but from a quick look, it seems like the json could be translated at least to the 'dynamic filtering' rules (accessible only when you enable "I am an advanced user"). Perhaps I'll open an issue.
Someone I know went to a college where the final exam was 100% of the grade, in most courses. You could retake it as many times as you want, but only if you scored below 70% (presumably to limit the amount of retakes). The result was that if people weren't feeling confident on the test day, they would recycle their test (not hand it in), thereby receiving a zero and guaranteeing the ability to retake.
Designing systems of incentives is hard.
That said, several of the mentioned problems seem like they have solutioms.
- Excessive detail: keep both or several sets of instructions. The detailed version is authoritative in the case of a dispute by the student, but as long as they don't dispute, it's fine if they follow the spirit of the instructions.
- Deadlines: Give X "extension tokens" per semester, which allow students to submit one day late, no questions asked. Max 2 tokens per assignment (48h extension). My undergrad CS department did this and it was great.
I would guess the latter would work well for regrades as well. A generous but bounded number of regrade tokens. You could even do something like make unused tokens worth 1 bonus % on the final exam, if you want to further disincentive abuse.
> The detailed version is authoritative in the case of a dispute
I think this means everyone will always refer the detailed version. Especially if this is stated up front. Nobody wants to be fucked if the _do_ legitimately need to dispute.
Oh, when it gets below 60 degrees fahrenheit, or there's a wind. I can probably tolerate working outside as long as it's still sunny down to 50 degrees fahrenheit.
I used freetaxusa last year after using turbotax previously. I found that the experience of using turbotax was more like giving my information to an accountant and having them prepare the forms, while freetaxusa was more like sitting there with an accountant explaining what each box means, while you fill out the forms yourself.
I'd say the turbotax approach was easier to fill out, but freetaxusa was much easier to look up additional information when the guidance fell short; when I wasn't sure how to fill out turbotax's questions, figuring out which box it applied to so I could look up more information was supremely frustrating.
Specifically, I was freelancing the previous two years, and I was looking up information about itemized deductions.

edit: Found that Badger Sett generates a json blob: https://github.com/EFForg/badger-sett/blob/master/results.js...
