Wow.

Seems like Kahn Academy should sue.

And parents should make better choices.
Focusing on teaching students how to test well isn’t necessarily doing them any favors.

That said, yes, our public education is inefficient and has issues that need to be addressed as well.

Oh oh…

Was reminded of the utility of “Text Case” a nice little iOS utility for manipulating text (used it to title case the all caps that the cookbook title was in). Has lots more capability than I’ve explored (calculates hashes, converts to markdown, etc and is automateable in ways I haven’t looked into).

Such a great thing!

This is quite laborious. I have maybe 100 links to click and the press a button for. Clearly they could have made a bulk importer but chose not to and that makes me sad.

Random: Estate planning quotes (OR, USA):

"We operate on a flat fee basis; your fee will depend on what package you end up moving forward with (either will-based or trust-based). For a will-based package, the flat fee is $3000. For a trust-based package, the fee is $5000 plus $101 cost for recording a deed with the county.”

Flat fee is nice, but $3K for two wills - ouch. You know they’re using a template.

Non flat-fee place quotes are $375-450/hr so far (no estimate of hours needed given).

Interesting phone project (and tablet in the video). Too big for Geek but maybe if enough folks bugged these folks about making a smaller one they’s consider it? As a smaller scale manufacturer it seems like they are in a position to service niche markets.

Here’s a link to the phone project:

HIPPA disclosure clauses I haven’t read from a healthcare provider before:

“National security: We may disclose your PHI to authorized federal officials for intelligence, counterintelligence, and other national security activities authorized by law.

‍Protective services for the President and others: We may disclose your PHI to authorized federal officials so they may provide protection to the President, other authorized persons or foreign heads of state or to conduct special investigations.”
