Agree. They should keep quiet, and just take it. Just sit there and don't say anything. Don't be another MLK Jr. and turn this into some kind of personal political thing. These fools would turn it into some kind of weird personal

Wait. Are you saying 100,000 years from now, we will not have had robotic cars?

I agree. I enjoy weird quirky books that actually have a narrative and you build projects and learn the syntax while you are doing more interesting stuff. However, I've read many books with tables of contents that look like that, yet t

it's not rude at all. I'm a hardcore male knitter and it will always surprise some people when I show up to a meetup for the first time with my yarn and needles. I'm sure it's not mind-blowing, but it's definitely a

That makes a lot of sense. I read that article too quickly and the quote sounded weird when I read it. But it would make perfect sense if he were talking about what he thinks other people think of physics.

I guess I should be more specific and say statistical mechanics. As a science expert, I have to say the rest is truly boring.

I don't know why you would employ a science adviser who thinks that physics isn't "sexy." It's damn sexy. And anyone who really understands even a small amount of physics will think that physics is "sexy."

Well, if local businesses choose the services that save them a lot of money it'll probably make them more profitable and allow them to grow and hire more people.

I agree. But what can you do? You're a student and want to be a high school history teacher. You might not have what it takes to be a PhD Historian. You might not get a teaching job. Still probably want to get a degree.

i wouldn't call a high school teacher a low paying job. i guess it is compared to software. In the US at least, it sounds very reasonable to go to college to get a history degree if your goal is to become a high school history teacher.

I think that's true for every field. Some people love degrees when they hire though.

But the guy in the article wants to be a High School teacher. It's not like the guy wants to be some historian at some institution. And a college degree is probably something you really want if you want to become a High School teacher.

I've been to a big party in Korea and people left and when someone asked about the people that left, someone said "I think they left." And that was that. But now that I'm reading about Korean culture on this post, I thin

How am I getting you wrong? You said above that "he was not a gifted teacher." You said "his teaching can be highly effective when matched to the proper audience." I disagree. He famously could teach extremely effectivel

The feynman lectures were aimed at the smartest students at caltech to keep them interested in physics. You have to consider who the audience was. If Feynman made a series of lectures for physics 101 where the majority of students had no ph

at the same time, MOOCs haven't even really started yet. Think about the first video games compared to what we have now. Now think about the MOOCs we have now, and imagine what the 8th generation of MOOCs will look like. I can't i

The thing about coming up with a Japanese name is that the names are going to be unfamiliar. Kind of like how I wouldn't be able to memorize 10 Swedish names as easily as I could British names. I'll remember a name like John Carma

totally agree about sharing. I personally would like something like a "follow the leader" option for people just watching. Then you can root for people getting insanely high scores. That would go viral.

I would actually consider only Ruby and Python. Javascript in my opinion will take longer to get up and running because the language syntax and frameworks are not as straightforward to grasp for a complete beginner. Ruby and Python have awe
