"Instead, we need to re-imagine what kind of society we want our children to inherit and what our schools must provide in order to create such a society."

I work in k-12 and let me stop you right there. If you want to change a society then you better start with the parents and not rely on the school to raise your child.

NIC card
thejrk··on Your Uber Driver Can Secretly Report You on the App for Weed
Seems like there may be a market for a new tier of uber. Maybe one were the car standards and passenger expectations aren't as high.

Here it is! That comment that makes you feel old!
thejrk··on NH Library Votes to Reinstate Tor Relay

thejrk··on I have something to hide
I'm curious why the desktop OS matters and why they suggest using linux to thwart NSA surveillance.
thejrk··on Uber Leaving Kansas
I agree with you. It doesn't seem far fetched at all to require that information. I don't use Uber but a lot of points in the bill could easily be built into the app (if it's not already).
thejrk··on Classic Google Maps is gone
run in 'Lite mode' if you are browsing on a potato.

thejrk··on He Said, She Said: How Uber Relied on Data in an Assault Dispute
So.... did he miss the exit?
thejrk··on Gamification of teeth brushing
Getting kids to brush better can be fun and this product seems to hit that point very well. However, from my experience as a parent of an 8yo, phones and tablets around a basin of water for too long spells disaster. I don't want a product that would require me to hover over my kid while he's brushing his teeth.
thejrk··on Keep showering, California. Just lay off the burgers and nuts
I only eat almond fed crickets.

slow clap
thejrk··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies? What do you do when you are not programming?
I turn a small profit by buying broken dirtbikes and fixing them to sell. Working on a machine with my hands and not a keyboard is therapeutic.
thejrk··on Ask HN: Why are you off Facebook?
I hardly use it to keep up with friends anymore. I only find myself on facebook when I'm taking a shit.
thejrk··on Ask HN: Why can I buy a server computer, but not in a rack?
Our colo will unbox and rack new servers that we have shipped to them. They will also configure remote access (usually DRAC) for us. It just costs a one time fee to do it.
