I also think it is a fantastic plan. I like you're first point. If a teacher is resourceful enough, than any topic is worth exploring and there is no limit to the breadth or depth of the exploration. Also, any learning activity can be a val

The problem with the type of unschooling you're describing is that children don't have the experience and exposure to make optimal decisions. There is no good reason to be an absent parent. The style of education I'd like to provide is what

It is a good article. I agree that unschooling is probably the most demanding form of education for a parent to undertake. I wouldn't insist everyone do it this way (maybe there.ls a possibility for unschooling tutors?).

This page isn't loading for me, but to answer the question: absolutely. My whole goal of becoming financially independent is based on my desire for two things: the freedom to continue my own 'unschooling', and the ability to invest all of m

I don't plan on ditching Dropbox, but I'm definitely interested in having a similar sort of automatic backup with diffs that I can host myself. This looks like it might be an option. Does anyone else handle this in a different way?

I'll concede that my second and third points skew the conversation away from the issue of addressing homelessness. If the topic were 'personal liberty' than they might have more relevance. I guess the attack on capitalism as being 'evil' br

Hopefully, Khan, and the people he inspires, can work towards a solution to the larger problem in making education accessible to everyone: while the resources for education are readily available to anyone who can get to a public library, t

I don't see how Khan academy is truly 'controversial', but obviously it is threatening enough to the status quo for people to try and frame it in a controversial light. Since learning is my greatest love, school has always been my greatest

Adams doesn't address the issue of quality of practice. Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect. There is a huge advantage to practicing something useful even if you're not very good compared to the best. Like he says, he c

I'm still running CM4 on my G1. Before I buy my next phone a major consideration will be if Cyanogen supports it.

Wow, I'm really surprised to find someone on HN who is against capitalism. Here are a few points for you to consider, they might help you clarify your position on capitalism: 1. What you are probably really against is collusion between big

I hate to judge a book by its cover, but I could've told you that just by looking at his haircut.

I can't speak to the validity of this graph, but my immediate response is to think of all of the other factors that go into getting a job. I know people with the personality and intelligence to get jobs they are unqualified for, quickly ear

I've been thinking about how to make a similar service for watching TV at home. It'd be great if they offered more than just YouTube, but YouTube is the obvious place to start. My plan was to make a web interface to some Selenium scripts an
