The article seems to contradict what I previously read about KIPP [1]. I thought KIPP also heavily emphasized 'emotional intelligence' going so far as to giving their students t-shirts emblazoned with the "Don't eat the marshmallow" slogan.

It will be a good thing for non Koreans too. I tried purchasing tickets on Asiana Airline's website recently. Landing on their home page, I was greeted with a message saying the website was optimized for Internet Explorer. Sure enough, I co

That's correct. In my experience, with such high volume opportunities, most semiconductor suppliers will provide their engineering expertise in doing (or supporting) not only the development but the reliability processes.

Mann is a Media Lab alum. The Media Lab did extensive work on wearable computing a decade ago [1]. Rich DeVaul [2] is another alum who worked extensively on wearable computing there, and is possibly involved in Project Glass. [1] http://ww

There's actually a lot of research money and time put into the field called biomimetics. One of the more publicized examples of this research was Stickybot [1], a gecko-inspired robot that can climb vertical surfaces. Commercial examples in

I appreciated the final words too. I've noticed an increase in the number of people offering advice about how to do things "right", followed by comment streams about why that's wrong, and "right" would be doing things a different way. But w

Doesn't anyone else see how the Kindle Fire is very significant for Google, despite the fact that Google may see no revenue from this product? Google now has a strong partner in its Android patent war, unless Amazon has paid license fees to

It makes me uncomfortable seeing the the phrase "learning to solder" used as an analogy to "learning to code". Soldering is actually a very trivial process and has little to do with learning about circuits. One can build a circuit without h

It reminds me of the .mobi silliness. Why would a TLD, meant for the mobile devices, require one more keystroke, AND for the unfortunate people stuck using old phones with telephone keypads, require hitting 6 twice?

My point is that a lot of engineers I know (irrespective of being introverted or extroverted) would not be comfortable with such a harassing approach. Unless the author used 'look me in the eye' metaphorically as 'be frank with me'.

"I’m going to keep digging until you look me in the eye" Are you sure you want to do that to engineers? There's a joke that goes something like: How do you tell an introverted engineer from an extroverted one? The introverted engineer s

You've mirrored my thoughts, and quite succinctly. However, I feel that it's not the media that is the seed of the manipulation but other geeks (through their blogs or comments on news.yc). Remember, the media lurks on sites like news.yc, p

That's somewhat of a sensationalist comment. What they're doing is actually very positive and different. TOS are generally viewed as complex legal verbiage that shouldn't be touched with a 10m pole. Many startups avoid dealing with the issu
