I also am an admirer of Snowden's actions in this case, and what those actions have helped to accomplish. But when choosing how to respond on the issue of leaking classified information, I think the government has to look at more than

But let's really get down to plain English. What is the best analogy to use when explaining public key cryptography to an educated, non-technical audience? I've used the door-with-2-locks analogy previously. Is there a clearer ana

Do we care more about student progress or our appearance? We care about both, and we have to. Proposed solutions will have to cater to this reality to have any hope of success. Why can’t we start a movement to walk away from these tests?

This may be the least inspiring, least visionary solutions for one of the tech industry's challenges I've ever read from PG. That's unfortunate. The tech industry's hostility to the basic concepts of training and employe

He says that there is a 1-in-a-million chance you'll get rich. There's 314 million people in the US. Is it statistically true that only 314 Americans will ever get rich?
