I could see posthaven turning into an API that any site could integrate with so that users knew their data was safe. Depending on the site and type of user data, this type of exportability/backupability could be a real differentiating feat

An additional possibility would be measuring the background knowledge students have and are comfortable with so it can be better matched up with each course. The thing is, all of these speculations bear empirical confirmation. We have to s

Oh, definitely. I think a TA role like this that would help customize delivery, answer questions, and motivate would be great. I'm not sure its happening. But regardless, I think many profs would feel like marketing help of any kind would

This is an interesting approach. I think if they paid more attention to where and when exactly people would engage with content they could increase retention. I also have more time for audio than video and would love lectures of some sort

tl;dr: What's at stake here is the proper roles of ed tech in education. MOOCs are media, only one part of the ecosystem that is developing here, and I think that finding a central role for great educators is key. Coursera and other MOOCs

Guys, I think you're spot on with critiques of the product and the presentation. But the interesting thing about what reasonwell is trying to do here is its scope. He's trying to map human thought. I for one want to try to help the guy i

This is a good and interesting question. Since YCombinator depends on finding Dropbox and AirBnB scale startups, I imagine one of the most important metrics to them is whether they've rejected a business that went on to achieve that scale.

Note that this is the world's least dense material, not the world's lightest. They mention the density measurements but conflate it with weight in the title and elsewhere. Sigh, journalism. Sigh.

This is an interesting approach, and I've had several engaging conversations with OP John Duhring. But I think that MOOCs are media and I'm just not sure that media is the way forward. John's focus on educators is spot on but, unfortunate

Thanks for the quick response. I think, though, that my suggestion was a bad one. It seems you should select the highest rated thread for a a link with mutlitple submissions. For instance, this article shows the more recent thread with li

Thanks for the quick fix. The extension is pretty useful. One thing I'd say is to default to the most recent thread for common sites like google.com. There are often rando 300 day old threads that show up for them.

Very excited to see this coming out. Data provenance interchange will be crucial to all sorts of security stuff, but I think the recursive provenance represented by 'bundles' is the most exciting. It could represent a semantic annotation fr

Also, doesn't pop up on, e.g. this site: http://jshakespeare.com/the-dire-state-of-wordpress/ which is on the front page right now. I was wondering how you knew when to pop out the sidebar. Looks like it's got some blind spots. Great co

I'm not thrilled that it opens a new window when I submit a comment. Ideally it'd handle it in the sidebar.

Transactions like this are the beginning of regulators getting interested in Bitcoin. If the entire transaction was done in Bitcoin instead of Canadian dollars, how could the government tax it? They could I suppose call it a barter and ta

You're right that I conflated the two above but the relevant feature of each is that they're a form of money creation. With a fractional reserve, the amount of money created (through leveraging the reserve) is inversely related to the size

The interesting thing to me is currency's role in providing certainty. In this case, about the total amount of something, and whether what you're encountering is a valid instance of it. Check out some examples and how Bitcoin compares: Go

Excited to see what the Relevance team and others roll out with this. Clojure could really come into its own if a tool set like this picks up steam.

This is a really promising avenue. I can see how bioinformatics techniques could be used to identify passages as if they were genes. So some of the hard problems are solved. But the kind of knowledge that bioinformatics produces is highl
