I agree with Silver that it's far too big of a question for an AMA. My biggest concern in the short term regarding merit pay is that it is little more than a buzz word. Politicians throw it around as if it's a quick fix and then administrat

One of the provisions of being eligible for federal funding as part of the Race to the Top program is that states implement merit pay. I don't personally believe that will change anything and may place even more emphasis on standardized tes

Where I went to school the nicer schools were in the nicer areas because both the homes and the schools were newer. While the district spent the same amount of money to maintain them all two of the schools I went to were much nicer than sur

The teachers are making the same amount of money regardless of what school they work at. Most school districts have had pay scales based on amount of college education (degrees and credit hours) and longevity in the district. That is starti

School funding often breaks down at the state level not the local level though it varies by state of course. Simply being in a wealthy suburb does not mean that your school has any more funding than a school in a poor area. In fact it's qui

Have plenty of savings and the full support of your spouse. Don't let your new venture consume time to the detriment of your family life. Everything else can be pretty similar.

25Mbit can get chewed through if you have multiple HD streams going at the same time. It depends on your usage habits and number of people in your house from my experience. If I had to guess 50Mbit is probably the point even heavy usage hou

I have 100Mbit down 5Mbit up from Charter. The asynchronous nature of the connection is very irritating and the slow uplink are very irritating. There aren't any services that currently make even 100Mbit necessary though.

What doesn't make sense here is that they can only issue an intercept order on a purchase that's been back ordered three weeks. In that case they should have zero problem changing the shipping address. Google really needs to get on top of t

This is exactly what I was referring to. Two nights a week I take my son to swim lessons at 6pm. Google now will tell me between 13 and 18 minutes before 6pm that it's time to leave as that's all the longer it takes to get there with or wit

There are three values that the header can contain. null - no value set 0 - opted in to tracking 1 - opted out of tracking A 0 or 1 imply intent and null would imply the user has taken no action.

I agree, additionally it's not even really "off" by default. The default in the spec right now is a null value which indicates "we don't know" which is actually accurate until the user makes a choice.

It's not binary, it's ternary. 1 opt out, 0 opt in, null unknown choice. In practice the difference between null and don't track me please are probably non existent. However, in the future if this were to take off it's possible that someone
