Or ... it could simply be journaling in public. Gasp someone might learn from something you're doing?

One other interesting data point with charter schools (and most opt-in schools) is they (usually) have the ability to kick out misbehavers and not have to deal with as many LD kids. The public schools often have little mitigation with said

"What does this post mean for His portfolio companies? That VCs are sharks and you should find a way to not need them asap?" I think it means that as an entrepeneur in their portfolio, you need to understand your position on cash

"At its core, Weight change is simple input/output math." But I also think that...at its core it's very complex. What if you do all of that input in a single large meal vs 6 smaller meals? That's a BIG difference.

"Spending time" doesn't actually mean you're really present though does it? Not trying to sound harsh, but it's something I've examined a lot in my family relations as well. It reminds me of the dads at the p

While I admire the guys's perseverance, I can't help but have the reaction of "wow that is selfish". If you're working that much (for that long) it sounds like you have very little family life.

What's wrong with 9 to 5ing, learning more, and doing your own thing on your own time for a while. There's NOTHING wrong with that. Don't buy into the romantic notion that you have to give 110% to your startup or it's

"this pragmatism produces elegant solutions" I disagree. I think the pragmatism encourages one to "be clever" and just "get it done". Often this is not elegant.

Thx for making the silver searcher. When I'm dealing with large scale git repos it blows ack/grep, etc away :)

I've seen timeouts in similar situations where the IO was saturated (saving the RDB and writing to AOF at the same time).

Sorry... part of what I was implying is that the top tier VC firms often have a lot more to offer in what would help to build a great company (better talent networks, better advising, better ins with potential customers, etc). That isn&#x27

I would suggest if you're simply looking at VC firms as a means to get financial capital you're ignoring a large amount of what they can do for you.

Agreed. The khan academy and similar solutions are good for pupils who are engaged and will act as their own advocates; however, a significant number don't respond as well to that currently.

Sure...and part of it is that to do things well there's (generally) not a one-size fits all solution. Unfortunately that's what most americans are geared towards. To get a multitude of solutions is typically more costly. Spot on

They need _way_ more socioeconomic support. Social workers, counselors (completely underfunded), administration, and teachers. It _is_ a hard knock life.

OP has a number of interesting points; however, I would suggest he's also _probably_ myopic in his views on education. I think the reason that the post feels all over the board to me is because of the complexity of the situation. The

I think there's a lot more to pedagogy than you're delving into here. It sounds to me like your teachers in question are largely lecturing with a bit of question. There's all kinds of other things such as "differentiat

The usual culprits are scaling and versioning / config mgmt; however, anything can be misused (and there's no one size fits all). I've seen it done well once. Once.

It's essentially a mindset where the developers are also the operations staff and the operations staff are also the developers. This avoids the classical "throw it over the wall" mentality by making the developers live with the pain of the

On the plus side, this will probably only ever happen to you once. Once you've felt the pain, you'll never let it happen again.

It's not plain and simple. The thought, at the time, was that the marketing expenses _can_ be amortized. GAAP doesn't let you do that (there's only certain kinds of marketing expenses you can amortize). Groupon's view was that the market
