For a bit I was running these "Personal Website Tours"[0] and had a couple of folks mentioned in this article do one! They're basically just an interview around their websites, how they maintain them, how they originated. It&

Absolutely loved this book, though I thought the best parts of it were the influx of ideas and worldbuilding in the first 3/4ths of Too Like the Lightning. The last quarter seemed to rush to tie together the threads laid down and I fel

Stable coin systems are going to be massively important and there's a ton of different projects trying to make it happen. This [1] is a really solid explanation on how one of them, Dai from MakerDAO, works. [1] https://mediu

I definitely see where you're coming from, but I think the danger there is not necessarily anything to do with the coupling of assessment and learning but the coupling of assessment with the learned, i.e those who possess a skill/

I think the latter is possible, but even without there are options. There's a long-tail of credential consumers beyond traditional employers that holds a ton of value. Community level organizations, digital social networks, even open-s

I don't see the advantage of tying assessments to singular institutions especially ones structured like College Board. What this promotes a bottleneck of what can be communicated to others meaningfully. Currently the SAT can be broadly

It's kinda crazy that assessment has been coupled with instruction for so long, it pretty obviously creates a warped incentive model that stands on some real shaky ground. I think the model also doesn't scale well for assessment,

I don't think this needs to be directly tied to public education. My concern is more that educational startups tend to assume an institutional model (i.e an institutions defines what is being learned, how it's being learned etc et

These all seem to be assuming the institution-teacher-student model of education we have today. Even the "New school models" section is assuming a delivered experience, which has an institutional bent. I think biggest area of disr

Here's[0] an interesting take on a possible way forward to achieve that, very much inline with the recent ICO trend. In general I think the token design space is an extremely interesting one, and seeing how different models lead to dif

I don't think assessments are fundamentally numerical. Assessing is at its core simply about recognizing experience and I think systemized ways to do so would be incredibly valuable, as opposed to an ad-hoc system where everyone builds

by jpereira 10y ago
I think you're exactly right in that the "world APIs" for education are the limiting factor. The major issue is that the assessment process is directly tied to the learning process within a single institution, leading to both

I don't think they're going to roll back transactions but rather build in the functionality to "give token holders the ability to recover their ether".

It looks like the developers are proposing a soft fork to block certain transactions, followed by a hard fork to allow retrieval of funds. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4oiqj7/critical_u.

One could argue that at this point in its history it stands to benefit more from that efficiency than it would from more robust decentralization. When adoption is low it stands to reason centralization would be high, and so it enables them

Doesn't this show an issue with the Distributed Systems on Ethereum, with every script that has to be audited individually, and not with the platform itself? I'm with you on the fact that proper auditing is an absolute must, as th

In my understanding the attack vector was anticipated for the executeProposal() function, but the attacker is using a recursive call of the splitDAO() function. This blog post[1] from the Ethereum Team describes the possible attack. [1] htt

Why does it need to be a fractional hint of a reward? There are numerous way a system like this could be set up to incentivize jurors. As for your second point the proposed solution for that, as mentioned by varav in another comment, is Sch
