It might not be just psychobabble though. Amae may seem loosely connected to those non-cognitive skills, but if the author's right about it being widespread and so deeply embedded in society that it's applied everywhere, then I

Really good article. It's interesting that right now, we're trying to make learning easier . Gamification, bite-sized lengths, multi-sensory ... they all have merits but no one in edtech is talking about instilling a habit of gr

Thanks for this. I do like the idea of centralising the generation of electricity. But while I understand the economies of scale aspect, I still think that we may be over-simplifying the whole picture. Sure, we may have greener cars. But wh

One after the other. To put a conspiracy/playful hat on - seriously this is not my serious opinion - could it be that Uber is getting set up? Not necessarily framed but "oops, this just got leaked" set of dominoes. Apparently

Offtopic but I just want to say that I'm really happy to see that YC is becoming more gender-balanced. I've been following the videos on startup school and in the last office hour session, there was at least one female cofounder p

I'm one of those people with loads of ideas stewing at the back of my head. They come and go (out of fashion) but one idea stuck around for more than five years. It's an edtech for children, so by the end of last year, I decided t

Sorry I may have missed something. So how is "sentiment analysis" done? I assume that this will be personalised, rather than the binary good/bad news classification? Congratulations though, I think the concept itself is good

Hmm. I know that propaganda and originality don't go well together, but strangely I've always felt that Chinese cinema got it right. I may be biased as I come from an Asian family. For sure they're different from Western cin

Yeah I remember when Japan was hot (manga/anime) then it was S Korea (Haliu wave), at least in South East Asia. But the soft power war is not so clear cut though. Like Viki streams mostly K-dramas but it's owned by Japanese compan

I believe the same. But what if these tools have too great impact if everything goes south? It happened with dynamites before, now look how jittery we are about nuclear. You can flip this for privacy too. The more governments can spy on eve

Not when I was deeply interested in those jobs, and took my time tailoring the applications to them. I don't usually mass-send my CV, I prefer to shortlist jobs and focus on them. See, I would appreciate at least a note about the outco

I had one recruiter asking me for the exact dates of my past contracts, four times . It took a great deal of patience to repeatedly explain that they are already in the CV, just next to the company name and job title. In the end, I had to

No. For example, the phone can start off as really dumb. It is so dumb that it's also very anti-hack: no third-party apps to access some of your data, no camera or Evernote to record your moments, no GPS to track your location and so o

Wow, congratulations for the Kickstarter! I’m a bit flushed that you’re asking for my opinion, I am no phone expert. But okay, my opinion as a random consumer. I apologise if I’ve misread anything. You say that the phone is human-centric, b
