I have a very vivid recollection of 8th Grade Civics units on personal finance, budgeting, and tax management. In this unit we were awarded a salary through a lottery system and had to learn to live within the means of our salary. Students would pair up and find homes to live in by reviewing ads in the newspaper. We would have to learn to set aside money for savings, groceries, and for fun. We also learned how to invest in the stock market and also filled out the paperwork to file 1040EZ tax returns.

This was all in 8th grade public school in Virginia around 2001. I thought this was normal, and it saddens me to realize the inequality in education across the nation.

I help maintain an open-source project for AWS. The only thanks I need is that you come by the booth at re:Invent and give me a big hug. I'll be the one winking at everyone assuming they remember this comment from HN.

Too bad this data can't be opened for hobbyists to review, in the same manner that hobbyist astronomers assist in discovering new stars.

Nice! I really like Google Glass, the only issue I have with it is the reduced battery life. I wish there were a supported way to replace the battery. Or is there?
