I was only commenting on the "social is important" aspect, because it's a common misconception that homeschooling has to mean socially isolated. I think that homeschooling isn't a good fit for a great many families today

School is an extraordinarily unnatural social environment in which kids are thrown into a competitive environment with others that are nearly the exact same age. It works for some kids. Others get bullied. Others get anxious. Homeschooled c

From the other comments on this thread and my tiny bit of Snapchat use, I think you're wrong about Snapchat being in the "promotion [over] communication" bucket. As a largely private, ephemeral communication medium, it seems

Indeed, unless enough people get annoyed at the situation and vote for different Congresspeople over the next couple of elections. Might require fixing gerrymandering first though

People don't always work solely for the money. Also, that top tax rate is only in income above $10 million. The money below that threshold is taxed at lower rates. So, they would be keeping more than 27% of their total income

I think the latest episode of ATP has a good take on this in their segment "Why are we so critical of Apple?": http://atp.fm/episodes/155 They have a bunch of gripes, but at the same time there's still a

I don't see enough mention of this, but if you want immutability (to make shouldComponentUpdate easy) icepick is a better choice than Immutable.js for a great many applications: https://github.com/aearly/icepick I

It likely does use webviews, but it seems way lighter than an Electron app. It certainly isn't packaging Chromium given the size.

It's worth noting that 30% of Apple is close to a $70B company, which would probably have $10B in profit. Granted the iPhone helps make all of that other business possible, but even non-iPhone Apple is pretty huge.

Interesting that Apple's net profits last quarter was greater than Alphabet's revenue.

This reminds me a bit of Bee[1] which puts a native Mac interface on top of existing issue trackers (GitHub, JIRA, FogBugz). On the one hand, Bee's approach seems like a win in the short term because people don't have to switch wh

Redux is literally ~100 lines of code (you can check out Dan Abramov's Egghead.io series about it in which he basically rebuilds Redux). I'm among the many people who previously used vanilla flux and prefer what the Redux style br

In a typical jQuery/Backbone kind of app, you've got some data in something like Backbone models and you've got state stored in the DOM. Keeping those two in sync bring complexity in. The React model is simpler (in the non-

I remember what Yahoo! was originally like: a nice, hierarchical categorization of websites. That was great when there were 1,000 websites. Maybe even okay for 10,000. Google quickly became an obviously superior approach. Back when Yahoo! w

Where can someone express their opinions then, if not on their own blogs?

This is someone's blog, not a peer-review journal. And sure, that someone is a researcher and thus you might want to hold them to a peer-reviewed journal standard in their blog posts. Personally, I appreciate the amount of time that cl

I don't buy it. Apple's business is fundamentally selling hardware that is differentiated with software and services and this acquisition would be too large and crazy to pay off for Apple's fundamental business. The Apple Car

There are rumors of new devices coming in the March timeframe (iPad Air 3, new 4-inch iPhone). I wonder if 9.3 is also going to be the release that adds support for those new devices.

Ugh. This article is talking about the scary part of the semi-autonomous systems (like Tesla's) that are available today. I believe that the Google study they're talking about is referring to entirely autonomous vehicles, which

Other commenters seem to be missing a critical point here: tweets continue to have a 140 character display with some sort of "read more" that you click to see the rest. To me, that actually sounds pretty great. One thing that&#x27

Chris Granger's latest experiments with Eve (github.com/witheve) look surprisingly like a semi-structured personal knowledge system. Take a look at the last 15 minutes or so of this video for a demo: https://www.youtube

Following up to my own point: products come and go all the time and it seems like luck that Jerry happened to pick a product that stuck around. It does seem unfortunate to have to risk your outboard brain on luck!

I have had very similar thoughts, but I have to wonder if it turned out to be wrong. Jerry's Brain: http://jerrysbrain.com/ Apparently started in TheBrain in 1997 and now has more than 250K "thoughts". That&#

I think CGP Grey is an interesting counterpoint. I think he said that his YouTube channel is something like #700 in terms of subscribers, so he's not up at the top of the food chain. And yet, he gets paid $13.5k per video: http:/
