A few weeks ago I saw dozens of Singaporean kids showing off projects they'd built with the Micro:bit. They learned a good deal, had been very creative, and were clearly interested in learning more. Sounds like a good outcome.

Hear hear! I've been arguing this for several years now, most recently: https://bryanalexander.org/2017/07/07/i-defy-the-world-and-g... . Facebook's algo is deeply messed up.

I poked around a bit and shared some notes here: https://bryanalexander.org/2017/03/19/what-is-lbry-and-what-... LBRY's Twitter team was also very responsive.

"$640k/lifetime is really small." Pretty fine payout for $30K in debt (which is the current average for the 2/3rds of students who own debt).

That's what they tweeted at me. So, good news: the CC-licensed photos are still there. Not so good news: the bug was there for 5 days w/o being noticed or fixed.

Not bad. I like the way he streamlined the text. Dark background... yes, that would be better for a conference room projection. But I prefer the white for my laptop view.

Ah, what a loss. I remember being astonished by Giger's vision in Alien. For years I hunted down posters, calendars, and books, which weren't always available or affordable. Like others here, I relished the Dark Seed game for it

Agreed. American airports generally do a bad job is many areas. The number and access to electrical outlets can be awful. WiFi is usually nonexistent or for-fee and lame. And food is often just sad.

I should have mentioned this, and will revise the post: yes, I was tested, and no, H. Pylori wasn't the culprit. Which is rare.

Good thought, andrew, but it still doesn't work for me. It's hard to wake up from a nap, and I'm dazed - and tired! - afterwards. I've tried this all times of day, and each time it's like being clobbered by a baseball bat.
