It sounds like you are suggesting teaching children only the things they are interested in and ready for at the time. Compared to teaching on arbitrary set of topics at arbitrary times, you should have big gains in learning efficiency and e

The existing system favors those who are good at hiking in the desert, as well as a few who are good at jumping through a long series of bureaucratic hoops. Even if this improvement is not perfect it should help, but I agree it should be c

The article says the simulations took 60 hours on a "486/DX-33". That brings back memories. Anyone could rerun the simulations on a modern PC by writing about 50 lines of code and 10 minutes of runtime. While it is easy to criticize odd-b

It is impossible to know for certainty if innovation would be faster or slower if patents were not given for software, but I feel it is a key question. You see well known problems discussed, such as prior art being buried in compiled code a

The best argument against software patents is this: Patents exist to encourage and reward innovation and invention, by granting 20-year monopolies on new ideas. Software does not need additional motivation for innovation because there is a

When you combine the super-fast UI with a 10 hr. battery life and a $500 price tag (not to mention a $15 / month data plan without contract), you get "compelling". This ad is focused on speed and capability. Perhaps future ads will put it

I realize some cars have a type of 'black box' already, but it seems that with the potential for software problems, a expanded black box that stores vastly greater amounts of data would make sense. In this case, the computer controls the th

This is a sign that the Apple vs. Microsoft battle is over. Previously, Apple and Google felt the need to cooperate against Microsoft. Apple believes now they have won.

Households around the US burn lots of natural gas for heat. If this project results in a device that can use that same natural gas and generate heat and electricity at the same time and displace polluting coal currently burned for most elec

It doesn't seem unreasonable there might be a bias to the 5th position, it would be the position you just finished paying attention to before clicking if your scan from left to right.

I disagree with the Airbus design philosophy of having the computer override the pilot, so I choose Boeing jets whenever possible, even though overall the safety records are comparable. This is clearly a UI related incident.

One would hope if smart VCs put in $400M over eight years.

An even more clear look would perhaps perceive the event as the collapse and bailout of a massive and complex Ponzi scheme.

The word "the" serves a similar purpose, to reset the vocal tract so the next word can be resolved more easily than if it was following an arbitrary word.

There are a lot of challenges in creating a moon base or Mars base beyond getting stuff into orbit, which is quite routine in the commercial sector. NASA should have no shortage of interesting challenges even if they outsource launch servic

What about spamming copies of real 419 spams, and if anyone responds, send them a explanation and warning about 419 scams?

Why not respond to the scammers automatically? You could put together a library of responses, use machine learning techniques to choose a response based on the spammer's initial email and recent message, and really put a dent in their prod

I believe that is the motivation for the rumored change, to get more bang for the buck. NASA does some great things with planetary probes, etc., but their manned launch systems have always consumed prodigious amounts of money. For example,

It does 95% of the things people usually do with their computer with 5% of the headaches. Shouldn't be a problem. Not to mention 75M people already know exactly how to operate it.

Reduce the fares to nothing. Utility of a system rises dramatically as the frequency of bus/train arrivals drops below about eight minutes so people can just show up without checking the schedule. Tax money goes to build roads and other ca

'officials brushed off Google’s threat, saying that “effective guidance of public opinion on the Internet is an important way of protecting the security of online information” ' Classic doublespeak.

If the tax codes were simplified it would obliterate the revenue of the tax-help businesses. Seriously, that is why it hasn't been simplified.

How annoying. If at the time of purchase you ask the sales clerk how to verify the balance and how soon it can be verified, they would be unlikely to sell you a worthless card.

On the shroud over each light, a number of LED/photodiode pairs should be placed. The LED can be blinked every few seconds. The photodiode will detect significanly more light during the blink if there is snow packed into the shroud. If the

If I read this chart correctly, it says that by eating more green vegetables and fruit, a person will consume significantly more nutrients than a person who does not. This advice is certainly unnecessary for Americans, who generally eat onl
