This November was my sixth 10 day Vipassana course (first was 12 years ago). I achieved momentary clarity on the 8th day which helped me get rid of some of unnecessary but deep rooted complexes of my mind. I believe that it was possible only because of the continued practice and focus of the past 7 days. If it were two courses of 4 days each with some gap in between, I do not think I would be able to experience what I did. In other words, I feel that my brain needed the 10 consecutive days.

I will be a happy user of the beta

Knewton has done a good job of curating!

Very good work. I am extremely happy for you! I have no clue why some people expect this all to be either open source or free. I have personally invested a lot of money on building an adaptive learning tool (and two years of salary losses). We are not yet live, but when we are, I hope to have some revenue model as well.

What do you guys think of Knewton (The gorilla in adaptive learning)? They claim to be super adaptive but it is hard to tell. I used their product and was not super impressed with the adaptivity.

I have been thinking about using Atom, specially because of the pair programming tool atom pair. Any advice before I jump in ?

Which problem is more important a) Make simple algorithms more accessible to the masses who do not get it even after reading a book. OR b) Make more complex algorithms and programming patters/styles more accessible to the good programmers who want to become excellent programmers ? I would like your opinion and how you define "importance" ( it could be market size, or economic impact in the world, or as some people have argued -- reduces gender inequality in tech)

Hi Jim, What do you think of the role of adaptive learning technology, like that developed by Knewton ?

Let's not forget the commercial aspect. For SaaS business with a subscription model, you end up paying 30% to Apple/Google.

I have always wanted to create a Data Science training course which finds the right dataset to expose the power of the technique in question. I think this dataset will give me a good start. Thank you!

Almost a Haiku, it is.

Yupp.
