Thanks! I appreciate it :)
Sorry, that was a typo. Fixed it!
Thanks for pointing it out.
Oh thats a good resource! Thanks
I agree. The defense spending question is a tricky one. The goal though is not to be right or wrong but to encourage people to think about these things.
Thanks! We will be adding more questions soon. Researching and formulating good questions is somewhat of a slow process. We're thinking of either posting 1 question everyday or posting a batch of them every week. We're going to try both approaches to see what works.
I took Steve's course on Udacity, my first time doing any sort of substantial web development. A few weeks later I met him at a YC event, used the Udacity course as an icebreaker and now hes my boss at Hipmunk.
True story.
Every service goes thru the following cycle: New ⇨ Exciting ⇨ Necessity ⇨ Annoyance ⇨ Irrelevant
Twitter skipped necessity for most people, went right to annoyance, heading down quickly to irrelevant.
Yeah, the printed quarterly report is a brilliant feature. I helped the everyday.me team with the design of it, esp around the data visualization bit. Excited to hear how people respond to it.

That shit cray.
I don't know how anyone in the right mind can defend the geeklist guys.. the video is offensive but worse, the response on twitter is subtly threatening and childish. Sad.
So many courses, so little time!
Its amazing to see Sal Khan and Khan Academy getting all the press and attention they're getting. Given they propelled the latest ed-tech revolution... Codecademy, Udacity, Udemy, Coursera, Bloc, and countless other startups owe a lot to Sal for a lot of inspiration.
Exciting times for life-long learners.
Wow, great design. The UI is done so much better than any other education site out there.
pg and dhh need to have a proper one on one debate. I'd love to see that!
I'm glad they decided to nuke the data, but can you really trust them again? This only happened because someone was hacking a project and ended up tracing what Path is doing to his address book and then blogged about it, getting enough attention and momentum to end up forcing Path to take this action.
But can you really trust a company like this in the future?
I think Dave Winer is right. One should treat others data as one would like others to treat their data.

What can Canadians learn from their American cousins to stop this bill?
Is there an API to Chilling Effects? Would love to do some fun things on this dataset.
Khoi Vinh's Ordering Disorder is a good book on grids, and its focused entirely on web design.
Although, nothing beats Brockmann's Grid Systems book mentioned earlier.

I thought he was going to say that cheap devices will be smart as in they will collect our data, etc (so they can monetize) and expensive devices will not (because they're expensive and come with the added advantage of privacy)
"Drop the 'bank.' Just 'Simple'. It's cleaner."
Why do they need to access my DMs if I login via Twitter?

"The old king is dead, long live the king"
interesting song choice by Coldplay.
Right now Ive has the best of both worlds, he has more power than anyone at Apple, and hes not the CEO. The CEO role comes with an extra layer of public scrutiny.
Knowing that Jony Ive has more power than anyone at Apple gives me a certain amount of relief about Apple being on the same trajectory for the next foreseeable future.
Its still a good idea coming from a good place, good luck! And do it in SF Bay Area sometime!
A product is never finished, only shipped.
It should be called Ship Weekend
Accepted! See you there..
If accepted, you can crash at my apartment in the valley for a day. I dont have a big place, but I can easily host 2 people. Will go thru AirBnB I guess.
The design of these books is awful. I wish they would hire a good book designer and revamp the series.
