PLEASE do your due diligence before considering Waldorf for your kids. I'm not saying that kids cannot have a good experience at a Waldorf school, or that all their educational ideas are bad. Just that once you children have been there

We once rode the Amtrak from Sacramento to Reno, through the snow, with the kids. Figured it would be a fun adventure. On the ride up, we were about an hour behind schedule - no problem. On the way back, we started our day at 8am and didn&#

Accessibility is great, but you really should have a guide supporting you for your first journey. This is very different than being (say) introduced to a computer for the first time. Having an experienced friend/practitioner/thera

For what it’s worth, I searched for an alternative and ended up finding deftform.com on appsumo with an affordable lifetime subscription. I’m very pleased as it replaces a bunch of other apps I was using like Google Forms and hellosign.

I was 100% thinking this. GREAT book. And they, too, shredded books to ingest them into the digital library! I don't recall if it was an attempt to bypass copyright though; in Rainbow's End, it was more technical, as it was easier

Sad thing about Apple is that this was designed by a huge design team and about a million keynote presentations to execs that sounded exactly like this.

Yes, knowing Apple, this has probably been in development for years and seen a million internal iterations.

It may not be overt, but it also seems they are working to justify the hardware with the software.

Only under the capitalistic model without basic income / social services. AI art is really fascinating, but there is something so meaningful about watching art being made by a talented artist. I don't think this will ever go away.

Honestly, much of work under capitalism is meaningless (see: The Office). The optimistic take is that many of those same paper-pushing roles could evolve into far more meaningful work—with the right training and opportunity (also AI). When

Extrapolating from my current experience with AI-assisted work: AI just makes work more meaningful. My output has increased 10x, allowing me to focus on ideas and impact rather than repetitive tasks. Now apply that to entire industries and

A teacher of mine often reminds me that in many cultures—like Japanese and Native American traditions—the role of having an enemy is viewed with a certain respect. Enemies help define us. They challenge us, sharpen us, and push us to grow.

No. This isn't an economic policy. It’s time to stop bending over backwards pretending that Trump’s tariff threats are part of a coherent economic strategy. They’re not. When you drop the economic lens and view tariffs as a political t

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many were given away at deep discounts or for free to help grow "awareness" and make it look more popular than it is.

Such a strange name choice for a startup - my mind completes the name, which evokes the name of their competitor.

To follow that line of thinking, it could be way more profitable for you to take your $180/yr "bonus" and put it into angel investments. If you have decent connections and have a good eye - you'll probably have a much hi

In your view, is that how all businesses should be run as well? Hiring your least qualified friends? Surely, cronyism exists in corporate America, but I'd venture a guess that a company run in this way would fail almost immediately. No

This is a very important conversation to have right now. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing it.

It would be nice if such a ban meant that a small competitor could get a jumpstart. Instead I fear the result is that Meta just gets bigger.

One important function that public school offers to society is protection for children. Teachers are mandatory reporters, and so are many school staff. Parents are not.

Final Update: A Meta employee was able to resolve the ban and restore my account. Thanks all for the visibility and support.

Update: Because they banned everything associated with my account, my developer account has been disabled, which broke a live mobile app. I have no way to restore or fix it because they seem to have blocked my IP from creating new accounts.
