That's very well put and I tend to agree with it.

Fundamentally, yes. But practically, I can appreciate schools who find it the least-worst filter to group children into classrooms. Our son's school has weekly mixed-age sessions, but I don't think they can become the norm.

I'm not sure whether you meant that sarcastically. If you did, I'm not at all a supporter of segregated schooling of any kind, be it class, 'abilities' or even neighbourhoods. There's value in kids growing up in a h

Father of a 3.5 year old brought up using tons of "targeted talking" here: our son has a vocabulary and logical comprehension skills that are significantly beyond his peer group. As a result I'd noticed in the past that he pr

While the ticket sizes (overall $2.5M, $50,000 per investment) may not be large, nice early move by Foundry to coopt a potential competitor into a partner. Also, given that AngelList has now got $24M in funding from VCs, and VCs are in turn

It's so heartening to see the scales finally beginning to tilt in favour of free and open-source software after decades. While one reason (for OSes) is of course the much improved UI, installation/upgrade and app availability, I w

So, minus all the lofty goals, this is Google Answers for Africa. I'd be interested to know what Q&A services Africans already use.

How did we reach the point where we suspect a country's privacy regulator of engaging in a publicity stunt (why? what do they gain from publicity?) while ignoring the point they're making - that Google waited for the last day of a

Sure, it's an explanation. But I find no evidence to believe that it is the only explanation. Or even that it is a better explanation than the parent's (that people behave irrationally when presented with anything "free

Sorry, but I found the parent's comment much more insightful, lucid and relevant to the point being discussed (why a large majority always seems to prefer free apps over paid ones) than yours. And the utterly pointless ad hominem attac

I agree. The preference for stable, well-paid, predictable careers is a global phenomenon, and especially in poorer countries. And had this article been nuanced about that (as many earlier articles and posts on this topic have been in the p

The fact that a formal engineering/MBA education isn't a prerequisite for business success is almost a tautology now, especially among software startups. So there is nothing new here. There are some half-truths though: > For so
