Well, that'd be an idea, but it puts the decision cost in the hand of the content creators instead of that of advertisers. They suddenly have to make decisions for what products are appropriate for their audience, or…
The thing about that is that targeting, even with all the personal data advertisers get acess to, is still hard work and never 100% accurate. Also it assumes that most advertisers know how to work the controls, which…
The discussions could likely be put on one page as well, allowing you to reference to the other articles without having to add links to other similar articles or other comment threads. That'd be pretty cool.
Especially since students from a Hauptschule can do their 10th grade and students from a Realschule can get into the Gymnasiale Oberstufe as well as people being aged out of those options being able to do their Abitur…
I've always thought that measuring schools by student academic performance alone is an incredibly lazy way of measuring performance across the board because it doesn't take into account massive differences in the…
I was expelled, or rather "denied re-admission", which means it doesn't go on your academic record but for all intents and purposes is the same thing. I think it was the right call though, it was the wrong place for me.…
i'd second that and add that having a physical book also makes annotating things a lot easier, at least than with my kobo. If I'm going to spend any significant time with a book, i prefer it being a physical copy.
Well, in my case it was absolutely my fault. I angered some of the school administrators and i was academically underperforming. And in retrospect it was the right call. I got thrown into the K12 system in 9th grade…
On a related but no quite note, I've got a personal vendetta against sales pages that think buzzing and zipping jQuery is anywhere near to being a sensible idea. <rantyrant> So from a personal standpoint, if I'm on your…
But then there's a difference in dropping out and being expelled, and as someone who was expelled from highschool, it can seem devastating at the time it happens, even if it has minor impact on your future life. Being…
I think there might be some mixing up of the morality of the situation and the legality of the situation. Were the Snowden leaks against the law? Yes. Were the Snowden leaks immoral? I'd say no, they were an incredibly…
Whilst testing like that seems to be possible for granular facts and most likely is a great way to handle these, what about conceptual understanding? The only "surefire" way I've found to test that in myself is written…
If the idea of school is to teach students to learn, why aren't there courses on learning itself and the framework of things around the act of learning that enables students to efficiently do so? Essentially, why aren't…
No, I'd say that these don't really add anything to the quality of the piece except loss of clarity. Prose isn't poetry, and poetry isn't neccesairily made better by adding obscure wording.
I think being yourself all the time wherever you are is incredibly counterproductive. I don't view myself as perfect, which means there are areas of my own self I want to change, and without me consciously attempting to…
Can you elaborate please?
I'd just bite the bullet and install emacs. You don't need to move all your text editing work there immediately, doing [Alt]-x org-mode in a new buffer and playing around with features such as headlines (type * ) or…
Org-mode can be used without being an emacs geek though. The wife of the friend of mine who first showed me emacs and org uses it as a self-management / note-keeping application, and whilst she might be at least…
Yeah, a video of it in action would be incredible though. The single picture of it isn't quite convincing yet. Reading through articles on it it appears they're on the first iteration of the design though, which…
But stack-everything only has such a vibrant and focused community because community rules have been made as clear as they have. If you go through Jeff Atwoods blog, you'll see that they are making the same…
Isn't Jeff Atwoods working on Discourse right now?
One of the issues I'd see with that is the fact that computer languages have not been around for that long. Natural languages have been taught and used for centuries, Java might be just as lively as Assembly in 20-30…
I second the suggestion to get them to get started with simple hardware stuff. There's nothing nicer than getting your first little robot running. I'd reccomend showing benefit first and then getting them to tinker with…
Personally, I think if you want to kindle interest in people that aren't traditionally considered tech people, the usual course of action goes from user to power user to novice programmer. It goes from using the most…
I'm playing on a server with additional difficulty settings, which means you most likely want a bed closeby if any one player gets stuck somewhere at night (we have monsters form into mobs and being attracted to light…
