What portion of any of the hot online education projects could have been done without the web? For instance, how much of each of them could have been replicated by mailing people DVD/VHS lecture videos and quiz software? If most of it cou

And unlike the vast majority of company executives, this guy actually had comedic chops. Excellent dead-pan and timing.

I am surprised by this view. Most homeless people I've met who would not jump at the chance for a decent place to live are either mentally ill, addicted to something, or both. The other kind, the middle class kid having a time of exploratio

MMS just works by sending an SMS message to the receiving phone with a url pointing to a stored copy of whatever the original message payload was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Messaging_Service#Te...

If I am reading this right, then you can get efficiency gains by attaching methods to an object's prototype rather than defining them directly in a constructor. This way, the method is only created once, and is just reference by all instanc

What I never understood is why an attacker couldn't just mirror the user's actions to the real site and scrape the confidence image or word from there to show on the phishing site. What am I missing?

He says that in poor areas then if not as many kids had to make it to campus that would be a good thing. But I expect in a lot of circumstances that is dead wrong. It's their insane home environments that are the biggest problem for a lot o

That's the reality of the situation when you boil it down. But technically, a mortgage holder did completely buy his home form its previous owner, and does now own it himself. It's true he paid for it with money borrowed from the bank (and

I hate it greatly when people won't say "I don't know", but instead hem and haw and avoid the question or give obtuse answers. Once someone admits they don't know, it's fine, you can work to solve the problem another way. But for that to

That is possible. But I get the feeling they naively stumbled into that outcome by genuinely trying to be decent.

I feel like most often an absence of competition means there's no market to begin with.

I agree. It's abysmal. Each girl has a separate "slide" with a photo and blurb. Hit "next" near the top of the page (even the landing page) to progress through them.

I am surprised at how often neurotic artists and writers seem to think others are like them. It's perfectly fine to feel the way this writer does, but does she realize it is unusual? Or does she assume others feel the same way but are just

That "cover" seems to me to be verging very close back to the keyboard on a normal laptop . This seems to me to be a laptop with a touch screen and floppy, rather than rigid, keyboard.

Three thousand cheers to you. Of all the good things about my generation (early thirties) nothing bothers me more than the trend of never standing up tall in the wind and planting your flag. Always always it seems that people are infinite

I think there should just be a font and border standard that is easily isolated and orc'd. That would make the human readable url and the device scannable URL one in the the same. But I realized something about QR codes. Though they can con

This is the second comment related to a point of trivia about the English language. A lot of words have related noun and verb forms distinguished in speech only by the emphasis being placed at the end in the verb form. Off the top of my hea

At a high level I feel like we should be no more influence by those who say we're right than wrong. In a way, being driven to prove people wrong is being controlled by them. Because sometimes they may be correct, and our best bet would

If you actually are capable, and someone says otherwise, you will ignore them.

Currently, the "dot com/net/org" at the end of a spoken domain name clues the listener in to what they just heard. You think, "oh, a domain name, I'll visit it on my browser." But without that, a new spoken standard may have to be developed

Not the masters in education I have. I heard tales from very old timers about having to take "write on the chalkboard" classes, but that was never even brought up for us. Though frankly, that specifically should be. Maybe not a whole course

I found myself wincing at "pressure produces heat". For the purpose and context of this article, that is probably close enough. Because the subtlety of energy spent increasing pressure being converted to thermal energy is too finicky. But

How on earth were they not salting? There are so many open source auth systems now that get all the basics right. Someone who works at a big company like this and has any insight, please comment. How is this even possible in these days?

I struggled with this idea very much a month or so ago when HN had the post about the guys that claimed to have invented an electric/human powered flapping wing ultralight aircraft. http://techland.time.com/2012/03/21/man-flaps-android-powe

I also live in a small place, but I want my child to have the experience of building and using tools. Fortunately, just a couple blocks from my home is perhaps the most wonderful place I have ever been in my life. http://artisansasylum.com

The emphasis on tests, yes, that is a problem. I agree with you. But of course people see something used poorly and want to get rid of it completely. This happens in many areas, but perhaps nowhere worse than in public education. The tren

What about someone that fought their way out of endemic poverty? For me, I was fortunate my whole life and while I have worked hard for what I've achieved, it is all largely dependent on the love, encouragement, mindset, and financial help
