"if the Academy really does want to be "the classroom of the world", then it -should- go into enough detail to build accurate mental models." We have no context about the video here. Is it for 4th graders? High schoolers? For me, element

I think this article is very interesting, if only to get a look at what objections might exist to an educational paradigm similar to KA. If we're serious about fighting for an efficient education system, we must be prepared to answer objec

I think what Produce means to say is that many of our institutions and cultural facets are made up. There is very little natural backing for many of the laws and customs of human society (human rights? ha.) Invoking natural law to make a

I still don't know how they analyze shows airing for the first time. They could recognize voices, but what if an actor opens in two different TV shows?

The fourth guy (TvTak) didn't seem very interested in Paul's idea, which I thought was magnitudes better than his original idea. The idea of being able to signify that you're watching a show could actually be disruptive. ...so who wants to

5 million seems like an incredibly low figure. Just goes to show the power of smart money.

Completely disagree. It's a great article. I'd agree you should change the title, it sounds a little too ridiculous.

This may be the most "socially smooth" way of handling the situation, but be careful about the classic tooting-your-own-horn problem. In some situations, it may be "socially awkward" or egotistical to take a compliment directly to yourself

I was at the shareholder's meeting. Several of the initial questions were about the Sokol incident, and many were hostile toward's Buffet's response (especially his initial press release). Buffet answered every question clearly and confid

He never claimed to refute pkaler's argument, he just added his relevant viewpoint. I personally have taught myself plenty of math, although I agree that my college classes have provided a solid context for me to explore many math concepts

I think the closest you're going to come to a web design degree is a graphic design degree. Some art institutes (KCAI is the only one I'm familiar with) offer a web design track for graphic design majors; I'd look at individual departments

I'm not sure there's a bubble, but if everyone on HN just pretends there is one and we say the word "bubble" a lot in major publications, then maybe we can despeculate technology investments and invest in them ourselves...

You realize that if it were only to recognize speech, other players would have a significant time advantage because they can read the text in probably 1/10th of the time it takes the host to speak the question out loud. "Feeding" Watson th

How is this anything but pure semantics? I still don't know the conceptual difference between Searle's strong AI and weak AI, other a single word change in the definition.
