Oh thats a good resource! Thanks

for the record I went through all the questions and it is a fun site.

nice work.

Thanks! I appreciate it :)

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.

I like the site for that, but the source for that particular question is a bar chart that really obfuscates how complicated the real answer is.

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.

"How many animal species are headed for extinction?"

The correct answer is almost certainly 100%, but this is not even available as an option. Without any time horizon specified, any value less than 100% is not really meaningful.

Sorry, that was a typo. Fixed it!

Thanks for pointing it out.

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.

What's it like to work with him?

Wait, don't you work at Hipmunk?

The plot thickens...

Without a response, people are going to assume come kind of deception.

Or they'll just assume I'm poking fun at my buddy and fellow Huffman fanboy Moiz.

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.

Darn. You beat me to it.

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!

So many new awesome courses this year. I enrolled in so many of them. No way I'm gonna be able to follow half of them. But it's still worth to try. Since these are easy to follow videos, you can just watch them during your lunch or just before going to sleep anyway. Way much better than watching TV at least. :)

It's kinda frustrating, though. Coursera PGM, for example, takes something like 10h/week.It's too much.

But I'm happy and grateful because it exists; don't get me wrong.

Exciting times.

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.
