Sorry, it's not possible, but the main reason to create a child account is to get around the Google/Facebook requirement -- since you've already surmounted that hurdle, a child account probably wouldn't be of any more use to you.

Right, we retired the four "challenge" badges (I believe they were arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, and trig) in favor of the new "topic" badges which replace what was there previously. I hadn't heard of anyone particularly upset about tho

I don't remember exactly, but it was a few months ago. About a month ago we also launched the ability to create "child" accounts for under-13 users who aren't old enough for Google or Facebook accounts.

As we've seen with Stack Exchange, OpenID is confusing for most users, but good news: you don't need a Google or Facebook account anymore! You can sign up for a Khan Academy account with any email address here: http://www.khanacademy.org/s

I wonder if it's possible to use this as a PCIe-to-Thunderbolt adapter – as far as I can tell, all existing packaged products are at least $500.

My guess is the SSD upgrade would have cost something like $500 and at that point it doesn't make sense to differentiate it from the higher-end model which also includes the new processor.

My guess is it'll still be unreasonably blurry – I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

> The easiest way to defeat this attack is, instead of directly comparing two strings, compare their mappings under a collision-resistant hash function. Is this really the best way to compare strings without giving away timing info?

IIRC they had a blog post about it at some point. You can also add .diff to get a slightly different format.
