It's been like this for a long time. A controversy will feed itself, the actual issues won't as easily be stuck in perpetuity. Even history is taught like this.

Aren't Google's ad monetization practices fairly transparent? You can see all the data collected in the dashboard, you can see how ads are targeted under the ad settings. It seems like people are alluding to Google's data usa

The problem is that we're not talking about a safety net anymore, but a solution for a permanent reduction in the workforce. That's something entirely different, more daunting, and perhaps unsolvable.

You can kind of achieve this in the U.S., at least in my school district, through AP classes or taking equivalent classes at the local junior college to satisfy high school credits. The structure of the school day was still exactly the same

I wonder how early my 2-month-old niece will be able to achieve a high school education. Not that the resources weren't always available, but it's just so accessible now through efforts like Khan (mostly Khan). We could easily hav

The smartest kids I knew were those with very intellectual, but hands off, parents. I always thought it was misguided to advice parents to demand homework be done at a certain time or enforce certain metrics (test scores, volunteer hours, e

What's the disconnect between Google's value and the information they gather. Obviously that's intentional most of the time, but it doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.

The first thing I imagined is a wearable with a clicker for the blind. You say navigate me to ___, and the clicker gives you hot and cold signals (lots of feedback vs. less) as well as maybe a buzzing feedback if you're approaching a h

I'm saying this isn't needed and serious innovation. It's a popularity and standards game. We definitely didn't use carrier pigeons before Whatsapp. IM clients have been ubiquitous for years.

So should facebook absorb every social threat? What would happen if Google's hangouts started to become popular, or another startup?
