I wonder where they would be today if they took a monthly or yearly as opposed to a one-time fee. It seems to me like recurring revenue would turn the main problem into keeping users, rather than recruiting them.

Glad to help. Amazing that an off-hand comment can have so much impact on a human being across the globe. I've certainly been on the other side of it several times before.

Not the same type of book, but you could do a lot worse than reading through Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning , by M. A. Lavrent’ev, A. D. Aleksandrov, A. N. Kolmogorov. It's an amazing book which gives a mathematical (bu

What was your opinion back then and what made it change? Thanks for being "open" about being a previous hater by the way.

What about a web app? Whiteboard and video chat works great there, and it's a huge market :) ADDITION: After all, this is what Khan of Khan Academy does (he uses a wacom though, but then it's a end user decision).

This looks great and I would love to use it for both SICP and learning how to draw. I don't mind paying for online services like these. However, I don't have an iPad, but I do have an iphone and an MBA. Where does that leave me an

This thing has been in the wild for two years. What are the odds it hasn't been systematically abused? And what does this imply? To me it sounds kind of like finding out the fence in your backyard was cut open two years ago. Except i

It'd be interesting to hear what you think about Rich Hickey's work on Clojure. Things that surprised you in a good way, and things that you think it got wrong (i.e. things that won't be on the surviving main branch). I'
