I agree that mathematics in general leads to what you say (instructional techniques aside), but I'm rather arguing that it's not necessarily the mathematical techniques that are the primary thing at fault (however I do agree that it is mass

What I find interesting here is that you focus a lot on mathematics instruction in your comment. In my opinion there's much more that influences learning outcomes and outcomes on test results than math instruction techniques, namely studen

Interesting. Mind if I e-mail you with some questions about schools adopting some of these techniques, and about gifted programs, and homeschooling? I'm hugely interested in all this and you seem to be very informed here.

Amazing. I hope to some day wake up and have a deep conceptual understanding of the relationship between velocity and time in relation to the various bodies at play. I also hope to have an understanding of what it means for a photon to be

Who exactly are you speaking for when you say they are not attractive? A large part of Microsoft's share is in school/org licenses. Another large one is for the unskilled users of computers. I would very much consider Google as a real co

Yeah good question. As I don't have an answer here, let me just present an argument here for the sake of discussion: It's given that governments are fallible just as anything else on this planet, and can become corrupt to a point where int

I don't think I agree with either one of your points. 1. About Mexican officials -- my understanding is that the ambassador did everything right -- unfortunately it cost him his job. Mexican officials were embarrassed, and they rightly sh

I think Robert Greene has some interesting things to say about this ("48 Laws of Power" for example). (I hope I'm properly representing some of his thoughts here) Clearly #1 and #2 are ideal. Clearly #3 is not (however there can be a healt

Interesting. Do you know when that MBA curriculum change happened? Have details on how it is structured now? Have any studies been done on the effectiveness of the program post-restructuring?

That's basically how the small startup I'm working with works. We're a total of 4 people, and at this size, and although we have a founder (or founder and a half), we all basically do what's necessary and everything we can. The founder is

I definitely agree the problem was multifaceted. I also believe the problem runs very deep at the same time. Even if the courses were 10 minutes each like Khan, I doubt the view rate would be increased by much in this case. Also, it is tru

From the "Completeness of Quantum Theory" chapter (on one theory of the determinability of quantum systems): "If an atom has a probability of one half of radioactive decay over an hour, then all that really means is that its wave function

Say you have a field hidden with a div on a low profile, minimum traffic site (100 visitors a week). It's incredibly unlikely and pretty dumb for a bot to be made specifically for that site -- in this case, how could a bot determine whethe

I agree. I think this method is a great idea and is much more foolproof: "You could also use Honeypot Captcha approach: you can create a honeypot form field that should be left blank and then use CSS to hide it from human users, but not bo

Very interesting. Anything having to do with disrupting the current model excites me to no end. Have a few more questions if you don't mind: 1. What's your motivation for doing this? 2. Is there a particular level of education (or type o

Paul, could you explain here or through a private e-mail what your company Matygo is doing and how it is a catalyst? The tagline on the blog is a tease :).

And what are your thoughts on the method?

by aik 15y ago
Cool. I'm curious how you'll implement it? Recently I took an Agile course at work where they had a similar method -- there was a 3 hour video that everyone was supposed to watch before the course. I'd say about 10% of people watched it.

That's great. When you say "this method", could you explain what you mean? How does it have vast implications for your work? In addition, I agree that it will make a great impact in the future. However isn't labeling it as "THE future" i

To answer your question: It may be too early to tell. And I think we all agree that there has to be a trade off between privacy and social life (or convenience). We make it every day. However, at some point trade off has to stop becoming

Beautiful. Thank you. When discussing privacy issues, I've been trying to find a good response to, "As long as you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about." This is the best answer I've seen. It's our responsibility a

I don't fully understand your analogy. How exactly is that situation "backwards in time" if it still is moving forwards? Where could I find more info on this?

And in other news we've supposedly just killed Gadaffi's brother and grandchildren. I don't see that happening anytime soon unfortunately.

This looks very similar to a good part of "The Non-Designer's Design Book" in both structure and content. Cool that it's free. Great book.

The other day there was an article about the importance of motivation in intelligence and success. From my understanding of what this article is, that's a glaring hole in the theory.

Have you done much n-back training? Notice a difference? I've spent a little time and can see how it could help, but haven't spent enough time yet.

Addendum questions I have in addition to the above questions: 1) Do you find it silly or irritating being called a 'great'? 2) Do you find yourself in disagreement with the usage of such a word describing yourself? Are you unable to relate

I agree that is a good point. Perhaps it is a technology that would be better off not existing? Security aside, one of the fears I have isn't necessarily against hackers, but against legal entities making use of the private information ill
