I think harichinnan meant to reply to shas3's post.

Here's my biggest secret. I almost always use Chome's URL address bar as a text buffer. Not only to make sure what I copied is what I expected, but to remove new-lines, and if it's a terminal command, to allow me to edit the arguments in free-form before pasting into terminal.

Do you guys think one person, working alone, can develop an turing passing AI?

Keys responded directly to that tweet, saying for people to keep saying he is facing 25 years, because it's true.

On the contrary, they don't actually mark it up that much. If anything, Beer has one of the lower mark ups. Bottled water on the other hand...yes.

I think you ARE missing the point. Watching the bytes come over the wire isn't something that they are trying to protect. Just easy cheating in the classroom. They probably received some complains from teachers.

They wanted to keep it working offline, and hints should still be available for students in areas with spotty internet.

It's not Khan Academy responsibility to ensure students don't cheat after all. I mean for all they know the students could have other browsers/computers open.

Why does it matter? I'm tired of seeing people link other discussions. If it's a live active discussion, thats one thing, but a dead discussion from yesterday?....

I think it's more of a case that Yelp paid them to find something and they don't want to turn around and say 'Hey thanks for the money, we didn't find anything' so they stitched this accusation up.

I think you're missing the point.

When most people think of fascial tissue, they think of Kleenex. They call any brand of fascial tissue Kleenex.

IMAX doesn't want people calling any large format theater IMAX. So they over-reach anytime someone mentions the word I assume.

Not justifying the actions, just trying to clear things up. Personally, I think it's ridiculous.

Very cool project. A lot of people active already playing along. Would be nice if we could PM one another that to start a one-on-one convo with someone in a place we're interested in.

I'm seeing a disconnect alright, but it's from the article and your comment. In no way did I interpret that article as saying "the 4-day work week doesn't work."

Although, if you're working on the 5th day, it's not really a four day work week. My Fridays at my regular job are almost as relaxed.
