Philosophers and historians have been discovering that religion got some things right for a long time, not sure anyone can lay claim to that achievement.

Not just the textbook, but the teacher. The current teacher role will be supplementary and act more like a psychologist or counselor in keeping students on track, providing more one-on-one support, encouraging movement and release of physic

What solutions though? Students, especially kids, still need some kick in the butt to actually do the work required to learn. I don't see MOOCs ever accomplishing that unless someone somehow finds a way to make an addictive and legitim

I don't think MOOCS are the solution unless utilized in schools. The role of a school teacher working along with a MOOC would be more motivational and disciplinary, which is what most teachers seem to specialize in anyway. Separate the

Containers are a killer app for me. Having a separate workspace for each project I am working on, or work role, vs personal browsing reduces both clutter and distraction dramatically. I still use Chrome for some things (select boxes seem to

Most animals emerge and decline in cycles. One year rabbits are everywhere, next year foxes are everywhere, next year carrion, etc. Bugs/insects especially have odd cycles that are often not yet fully understood by humans. The danger i

There are certainly benefits for the company but between predominantly revenue-centric attitudes and a lot of poorly trained "senior" engineers I wouldn't trust the majority of companies (outside of Google, Apple, Netflix, an

It's a little dangerous to expect companies to train junior employees well when their focus is on making product/revenue. Generally they would prefer solving immediate problems over developing the craft, so over time most training

There are a few ways to start a software business: 1. Build a tool and start trying to sell it 2. Survey the market and figure out what's missing, then GOTO 1 When starting with 1 you run the risk of making something no one else wants

That's still $150k for doing effectively nothing. That person could choose to supplement their income with a paid job or a business. I'd love to be in that position, as would the vast majority of people in the world.

In addition to blatant racism, I suspect much of it is due to the potential for cultural and spiritual revolution should marijuana (or psychedelics in general) become legal. We can look to the 60's for an example of what can happen whe

Joy is a mental process that has nothing to do with anyone outside of you. The fun is in building, thinking, designing.

I agree. Also, humans are terrible procrastinators. In my experience as a terrible procrastinator, motivation will come only when nothing else could possibly seem more important. By then, the most valuable time and opportunity to solve the

Climate is not consistent across the north. Real estate is particularly tricky because it is so reliant on local conditions, which are completely unpredictable at this point. Maybe refugees drive up demand for real estate in the south, mayb

We already live in that world (or country, at least). Your situation is an outlier, unfortunately. I'd personally rather have those cars be electric than burning fossil fuels, and if anyone can reinvent mass transit and make it availab

They are stingy with equity because it's easy to make a bad hire and then be unable to fix the cap table. I do think there should be a better balance, though, and agree that they can be quite stingy even with those who turn out to be g

Are you happy with the voice? Would you be able to listen to it for 2-3 hours straight or would the computer voice become grating?

Same here. I listen while driving, cleaning, and walking my dogs and am able to focus much better on the content of the book. I went from struggling to finish 3-5 paper books per year to completely finishing 20-30 audiobooks per year. I am

Absolutely. It's like a mirror that helps keep you on one track. I need to be relaxed/stress-free to be in the mood for that, though.

I hope this doesn't sound antagonistic since you're already getting a lot of flak for what seems to be an honest mistake. (I was accept-rejected fwiw). Could you shine some light on what your criteria were for acceptance? I have n

It didn't make me stop exercising, no. I was dealing with some undiagnosed health issues that made my workouts exceptionally unproductive and chose to spend more time writing poetry, painting, and journaling while high instead of conti

Judging by similar forum threads elsewhere, it looks like some who were accepted were initially rejected and many who were rejected were initially accepted.

I think the worst change I made after I began regularly smoking was ceasing my regular workouts. I felt that I was making more intellectual and emotional progress with regular meditation while high than I was with my body during workouts, w

Radar view (or some kind of value-add sensing view) gets consumers to start trusting autonomous systems. And I trust your judgement on the weather API - more generally, windshield wipers should be able to operate themselves :)

I've been enjoying Chevrolet's "adaptive cruise control" and "lane-keep assist". They both have a lot of room for improvement but are a good step into progressive enhancement, as you put it. I've been imag

You can feed a family with vegetables and eggs on less than two acres (some claim 1/4 acre) if you know how.

If you want to lure Feynman back to give more lectures, you roll out the red carpet the first time he comes. That's sales, not culture.
