Good question. With my understanding, being that Greplin has access to all private information, they have an incredible amount of power -- in fact more than Google who just has one/two aspect(s) (albeit large ones). Just for the sake of p

I would get seriously excited about this if I could install it on my own server and keep my own index. I'm a bit hesitant giving them access to all my data to all my accounts, in exchange for a small convenience. It is pretty impressive, t

Why do they use nearly the same orange as HN? Isn't that bad for creating their own image?

I wonder if others feel the same way: I think one reason I'm so fascinated by certain abstract mathematical concepts (like this one), in addition to certain theoretical physics concepts that prod at the root of how everything works, is in t

I'm glad this article exists. How can a person honestly argue that another person should have spent their time elsewhere or researched in a different manner? Feynman wrote a lot about how he was forced into researching in certain methods a

I'm not having the best experience. I sent an e-mail TO my new opera e-mail address and it bounced. I sent an e-mail OUT OF my new opera e-mail account and it failed "Bad Request: User [masked] was not found."

Yeah, though I doubt very many people format the card when trying it (the size did look correct beforehand). Though, he did let me try several cards so maybe you're right. He was also selling (very clearly to me anyway) fake iPod Nano devi

Here's my sad Chinese sd card experience. The state of things there depresses me: When I was in Beijing I went to a regular store to buy an SD card for my camera. I asked them to let me try the cards in my camera before purchasing, so I d

I don't understand, why exactly don't they understand any of those things? I would expect them to be exceptional at them.

Yeah I agree that he did gloss over some of the other Khan features. About the method the video talks about -- I bought some audio-only lessons for learning French once by Micheal Thomas that (for me anyway) confirms this method. On the au

Interesting idea. However, the voting metaphor is incorrect here, (as I think you even said). The only thing it really solves is that it determines what learning style is dominant. If there existed an easy or common way of determining mos

2 points: 1. Having quizzes post-video is still different than having a different teaching style. In terms of learning outcomes, the two styles could potentially be equal, however in terms of student motivation/engagement/interest, they a

Apple's money generating machine is on a roll for sure. There's absolutely no reason why Apple couldn't have included most of those features in the initial iPad. I agree that the smart cover is completely genius (especially as a marketing

John Taylor Gatto talks about this particular phenomena in his book "Weapons of Mass Instruction". Just looking at the way our school systems treats teens is enough to come to a full understanding of why teens develop so slowly. Most teen

Thanks for the response. I don't think the reason customers aren't buying isn't because our prices are too high (we somewhat have competition and they're all more expensive), I think it's more of a case where they don't see a need for the

Your last point is exactly what needs to happen. Let me just add that on top of cultural and societal components, there's a massive system (the current school system) that would have to be redesigned as well. The amount of checks and bala
