It looks like I was wrong to assume that it was tied to the .edu domain name -- I thought notion was using that as a way to avoid pouring resources into verifying eligibility. My wider point is that it's disingenuous to have a bold hea

Really cool to read about the source for the idea and how it developed over time. But it continues to be disappointing that notion’s “free for individual students and educators” plan only applies to colleges with a .edu domain. I find mysel

I love the concept of a best practices checklist for archiving projects, but first read of the checklist items on this list make it seem more like they are targeting WHY the project is being archived, or WHETHER to archive it. I expected so

It would make sense to me if hide my email continued to generate a random iCloud address and it redirected to your custom domain email. I doubt they would create a random email at the custom domain, for exactly this reason.

I have zero experience with CSS; something I've really enjoyed in similar themes that the section being viewed is highlighted in the floating table of contents (so when you scroll down it bolds from one section to the next). Is that so

In the United States one of the HIPAA correlates in the Education space is FERPA (Federal Educational Records Protection Act), but it doesn’t have the same teeth that HIPAA does.

A little off topic but after enjoying the piece (nice tufte style layout, kudos) I was digging around the other posts. Disappointed that I couldn't add an RSS feed for the future!

Do you mean that by saving money people can leave the profession sooner or at least move to a school with more favorable working conditions? If so, maybe you’ve hit on a kernel of truth: we can’t risk paying teachers enough that they’d have

Thanks for sharing! This makes a lot of sense given my own experience -- my workplace is very document centered but the docs are fairly transient and disposable once the decision is made. My takeaway is that there's a high bar of insti

At WWDC apple announced that notes.app is going to support tags in the new version -- I thought that was great because while I don't use it exclusively, it's one more place things tend to accumulate. But I've been thinking a

It’s really interesting to observe the way that we can all read that exchange with different interpretations. I don’t see the conflict you’re pointing to at all— to me, it makes sense that Cook can say users don’t want to navigate multiple

I hadn't thought about that angle before. Is the public interest best served by adding friction to copyright enforcement, or by adding friction to fair use?

Not a lawyer but my inference is that this language establishes that you have foreknowledge that disclosure might interfere with the investigation -- so if you ignore these requests and disclose in a way which appears to adversely impact th

The feature to schedule voice chats really struck me as an example of something that seems so obvious in retrospect. I hope to see more of this innovation around phone-features trickle down to the native iOS phone options.

To paraphrase something I saw on twitter recently: The ad supported industry needs to track users; users don't need the ad supported industry. If the effort to increase user control and privacy continues, sites that can't support

I couldn't agree more with the notion of "the programmer's spreadsheet"; I've often wondered what it would take to get something like R/Python notebooks up and running with some more spreadsheet features.
