I've been asking myself for a while what the future of learning / reading / media is, and I can find very few good examples of truly novel thought.

It appears that most of the current ideas revolve about making electronically accessible that which already exists IRL. There are eBook for Books, OpenCourseWare for College Courses, and Khan Academy for High School - but it seems like very few people are trying to fundamentally change the: 1 to N model of school.

I'm most inspired by Bret Victor of http://WorryDream.com and his KillMath and similar visualizations / interaction designs. This seems like the best attempt I've seen thus far for truly novel learning tools that aren't just copies of standard materials.

I wanted to see if anyone else shares this viewpoint and if there are any other resources I should be looking at.

I still think that the most bothersome thing is that there are lots of people, especially in my generation, who grew up with the Internet and with identities tied to ancient AOL e-mail addresses, screen names, Usenet handles or MUD characters that are sometimes both more cherished and more important than their actual name.

What's odd is that my rule for social networks is that if you know my name online, I might want to connect with you. If you know my real name exclusively, I probably wish I didn't even know you.

> We need to make it easier and quicker to get good patents, and much harder or impossible to get bad patents.

The question is, what is a good patent? The way I see it (i) there are too few good patents to outweigh the bad ones, and (ii) it is too difficult to distinguish them at application time. In other words, the patent system just doesn't work, and is basically unfixable. Looks like we should do away with it.

Everybody get over it, preventing anonominity and privacy (as each individual personally feels it), is a fools game. In the long run there will be no (as in absolute zero) acceptance of corporate need to determine appropriate levels of privacy. This is because people are not fools. Facebook is going down because they misunderstood how people feel about privacy, and a poor replacement (privacy wise) will meet the same fate. As the saying goes, you can fool some of the people some of the time yada-yada.... The shame is just in how much they leave on the table by trying to take to much, but nothing new, and on we go.

Perhaps we could define a "good" patent as one that isn't likely to be infringed unknowingly. IMO, whenever someone wins a patent suit without being able to demonstrate willful infringement, an injustice has been done.

Yes, we should do away with the whole patent system. That won't happen, though, so the next best thing to do is to point out the economic costs of allowing people (hence corporations) to own ideas.

> really sexually harass someone - with touching involved

I think your post is mostly fair..however, this particular sentence to me seems to imply that if there is no touching involved it's somehow not "real" sexual harassment, and that's something I would disagree with.

This is overall a very very tricky subject. I think one thing a lot of people lose track of (not saying you are one, just commenting in general) is that it's something that needs to be considered on multiple levels.

There are certain things that are "rude" to do, for example using curse words. If you want to promote an open community where everyone can feel welcome, you probably should have policies against using such words. That doesn't mean that if someone uses those words they are a bad person, or should be arrested, or condemned, or any such thing as that...

However if they are contributing to creating a negative environment for some people, and if you want those people to be a part of the community that needs to be squashed and the person who did it might need to be spoken to or even reprimanded (appropriately).

There's nothing wrong with having sexual feelings, but I think some people have an over-inflated sense of entitlement when it comes to expressing those sexual feelings. Women are constantly being reminded that they are Women, and being constantly reminded that they are viewed (at least to some extent) as sexual objects...when really they just want to feel like any other person and talk tech. It can be not only very exhausting, but insulting and even frightening. Many crimes against women begin with sexual overtures.

So, I don't think it's a lot to ask to leave the attempted pick-ups to places like online dating sites, singles bars, dance clubs, etc...and leave sexual expression in general at home or when you're hanging out with friends and what-not.

I think there certainly are some people who want to lock it down to an impractical level of political correctness, but I think it's more common for someone to make a reasonable suggestion that is met with comments about "men/sexuality being criminalized" (again, not referring to you...just commenting in general).

I agree that it's something that needs to be spelled out more explicitly than "don't be a creep", if only because one of the reasons we have the problem is because some people don't understand or know what that means (and perhaps they shouldn't be expected to).
Please do not present a false choice -
It is not "be sexist, racist, offensive"
OR
"be dry, businesslike with every word sanitized".

Frankly presenters who indulge in this kind of behavior are giving in to the worst kind of intellectual laziness.
If the only way they can get people to pay attention to their "incredibly dry sanitized" presentation is by making sexist/racist/<offensive> slides then that talk has no place in the conference to begin with.

This is exactly the kind of naive attitude that keeps women away - as another poster has linked would you consider any of this acceptable? http://lwn.net/Articles/417952/

My friend works at Google. The interview process is far from efficient, yet the people involved genuinely felt the inefficiency was a good thing, some sort of initiation to test candidates' perseverance.

From first contact to offer letter took about three months. He had four phone interviews, a video chat interview, two email questionnaires, and two recruiters before he met a human being.

Google is also unusually fixated on GPAs. My friend has a BA from UC Berkeley and an MS from another school. Because his undergrad GPA (from 20 years ago!) was not 4.0, the Google hiring managers wanted to know how many hours per week he had worked during his undergrad to account for his 3.5 GPA.

The interview never got to any topics in that book. The interview got only to "what is your favorite programming language" and essentially stopped when I didn't say C++. There wasn't time for me to be "aggressive". I wasn't "aggressive" and was just looking for a job. To me, saying that C++ was my "favorite" programming language could have been a reason for disqualification! C++ plays an important role, but it is tough to have it as a "favorite".

Buy Generic Viagra Online
Erectile dysfunction (ED) or male impotence is a medical condition which is characterized by the inability of men to attain erection or keep erection until climax during sexual intercourse. Usually, this condition occurs as men approach their middle-age. If the medical condition persists for a longer stretch of time in months, then he needs to consult a doctor who may recommend ED medications such as Generic Viagra to overcome impotence. However, it is important to discuss the condition with a physician before buying cheap Generic Viagra online. Generic Viagra 100mg is not an over the counter (OTC) medicine and requires doctor’s prescription.

A story like this gives me the impression that even if you want to clean the floor at Google, you need to know when to mergesort and when to bubblesort[1]. Why does Google find this important? Why do people who will not do programming at all need to know (relatively) low-level software optimizations?

To be sure, if I'd ever apply at Google (which I doubt), I'd probably apply for a programming position and totally expect such questions. I'm asking about the non-programming jobs.

No matter how you try to dress it up, it's simply a matter of (dis)taste. You may not like certain comments, and other people may not like some of your comments.

And "that keeps the women away" ahum, so women are now suddenly a group that need to be protected against bad speech? How is that not sexist? Women are not an uniform group with all the same preferences.

And yes, gross misbehavior is bad. But more happened there than just some bad words at a talk. Some people in public misbehaved and harassed (specific!) women. There should be guidelines against that, not against bad jokes in talks.

I saw your project on reddit - really nicely done. But I can't think of a way to monetize it either.

Maybe make a landing page with some ads?
Yes, absolutely.

We actually wrote a sentence in our paper addressing this: "While there is an under- standing amongst Bitcoin’s technical users that anonymity is not a prominent design goal of the system, we believe that this awareness is not shared throughout the community."

Also, there is a gap between 'might be possible to work from that point' and actually trying to do it; and it is this gap that a lot of Bitcoin users are counting on. The idea is out there that while it might be possible to tie things together in theory, its really not doable in practice.

The discussion mentioned on this blog, and the post its replying to, is an interesting example of the uncertainty that's out there, even among very tech savvy users: http://blogs.forbes.com/timothylee/2011/07/14/advanced-bitco...

So, we knew that Bitcoin didn't try make hard guarantees of anonymity, but we wondered how well analysis would work in practice; and it turned out to be work much better than we expected.

The problem of linking accounts, too, turned out to give us a lot more information than we think most people would have expected.

We aren't trying to claim any more than that - some people will read this and say 'huh, obvious' but we think a large number of people will also be surprised this practically worked - we were.
It all comes down to putting your own variation on something that exists. Then once you put out many variations on that original item, then that original item is now your new creation.

It's a disruptive, unorthodox, mischievous public relations hack. Also a legal and moral hack. Or at least, that's probably how they feel about it. This is the dark side of thinking outside of the established box: sometimes it's not that others don't see the outside of the box: it's that, on average, we don't want anyone to go outside the box in that way.

Great news for the service. I've used it a couple of times (both domestically and abroad) and have an upcoming trip abroad planned with them.

Execution in this realm is key. It has both users and hosts motivated and engaged. The recommendation system allows for visible feedback both on the places and the people looking for places, and for me, this is key.

I won't book a place that doesn't have existing good feedback. In my last international trip, I skipped a more convenient venue that had no comments and the host indicated "if anyone asks, you are a friend" for a couple that had an established good track record a bit farther away. The additional information is very helpful.

I hope the guys prosper.
