   I guess was looking at it more like of those that dropped out, how many ended up not succeeding, with the correlation implying that dropping out wasn't the right choice. Agreed that there are quite a few confounding variables though. Any st

   Great insight about autodidacticism - sometimes it's just really hard to (1) even know what to do in the first place and (2) do it without structure or extrinsic motivation. I think in an ideal world, self-study and maintaining an ongoing e

    Hi all. What sparked this post was the release of this year's Forbes 30 Under 30 for Tech. Turns out almost everyone on the list (92.5%, check article for more stats) did NOT drop out, so thought the numbers + anecdotal + personal experienc

    Thanks for the feedback! You raise some very valid points that we actually went back and forth on a bit during the design process. 1) Regarding the inline popups, the overall goal was to educate first time users on how the site works (that

    Thanks for taking a look! Interesting point on the click-to-play setting. Does it wok for you without that settings? As for IE9, do you have Flash installed? If not, HTML5 support is coming soon!
