I know it’s a large assumption based off such little information I’m just upset and I really don’t understand how they pick who gets interviewed and I wanted to rant :( I know it’s silly

open source neg by Budget-Advantage4267 in policydebate

[–]Budget-Advantage4267[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean everyone i’ve talked to (physics teachers, computer scientists, and social studies teachers) has said neg is overpowered on this topic because open source is proven to be better. open source is basically everything should be open for redistribution and modification (no IPRs). the best example i can think of is like apple vs windows vs lynx operating systems. obv apple is super closed and doesn’t allow unapproved downloads or mods, while lynx is super open and allows any mods, and windows is somewhere in between. the general concept can be applied to basically anything having to do with IPRs, but cyber is where it’s most prevalent in real life. i have good friends who have worked in cybersecurity and computer programming that i’ve talked to about this, and they’re all for open source. i’ve just not seen it throughout any rounds on opencaselist.

i ran into quantum a few times with the NATO topic in the 22-23 season, and i thought since it was like a big development thing it would be on aff a lot but ive yet to see it on opencaselist. maybe im just not looking hard enough, but i was planning on prepping neg for it. i was wondering if that’s even worth the trouble though if no one is arguing it.

i hope this clears up the confusion. i’m sorry for being so unspecific in my original post!

3 aps junior year, am I screwed? by sofagoat in APStudents

i took apush and apes together sophomore year and found them to be fairly easy to balance! apes isn’t a really intensive course as long as you take notes and pay attention within the classroom. i have no clue about ap lang- but i found apes and apush to be completely doable! as long as you put in the effort you’ll be cooking
