I also hadn't realized that this was possible. Again, there are reasons for the things you are doing - I understand this. And there are ways to get around your block - but take the feedback. If one person says it here, it means that do

Interesting... Yeah, that is pretty consistent across other platforms too. Has it always been like this? I hadn't noticed this until recently.

I believe you. But I had the same reaction as mkaziz. And was about to comment on this. So I think the takeaway is that people are turned off by this - and you can convince people on HN that you won't abuse it. But not everywhere. And,

Colleges aren't the only ones at fault. They are part of the equation. I'm also saying that the tools available to the student are weak or outdated.

I am moaning about pen and paper. And perhaps the biggest problem with my post is that I have no constructive suggestion. But I am most certainly not saying that the current technology is better: far from it. I agree that writing on black b

Listen, I'm not saying your systems don't work. I'm just saying they are still far from perfect. And still so close to their predecessors. People writing textbooks these day understand the people will read them on computers a

I agree with your point. Institutions have been slow. And will be slow. I'm not complaining about this... I'm more complaining about why nothing has been done outside of institutions. Why haven't private companies created tec
