Fun little quiz but thought some of the questions got more confusing by trying to keep them as simple as possible. For instance, when it's third and short, selecting pass would allow you to rollout and look for a pass and keep the option for the QB to run for the first down if none of the receivers were open. But a run on a pass call isn't accounted for.
I am going to have fun playing with the data visualizations, thanks for putting that together
Just wanted to throw out a huge congrats to Anthony and company for all the work you've done on the site. It's become my entire new music source over the past 4 years and I'm excited to see where it goes!
Job well done, I'm still waiting for an official Android app though :)
Would be cool if they showed how much traffic was on the bridge, going across the bridge, or if there was an accident by flashing bright to those approaching the bridge so they could avoid it
I'm looking forward to the day when I can have a physical library at home and the exact same digital library on my Kindle wherever I go. I too think the bundle is a major step in the right direction
Thanks Jason for the notes. I too highlight important bits and pieces that I read and type them up later. Having a cliff notes document on each book is useful if I ever need to go back and find some specific detail (I know this seems redundant in that I could just read the kindle version and use the highlight feature but there's something about books in paper form that I can't drop).
Does anyone know of a good website that has similar cliff notes on books? Maybe one where you can read notes by others and contribute your own. Thanks
Agreed, I enjoyed "Believe You Can Change" when it was posted on HN and was happy to find out this article was next in line in his "Raw Nerve" series. Thanks and can't wait for the next one
We've reached the point in scientific discoveries where you can't expect an apple falling on a scientist's head to eventually lead to an explanation (I know this story isn't true). The proposed theory is more complex and therefore requires lots of money. You have no idea what this potential discovery could lead to 10, 20, 50, 200 years down the road. And neither does anybody, it could be a steal. How much is the truth worth (or a glimpse at why things happen)?
By the way, what was the common man's response when Newton first explained gravity? Probably, "Things fall, what more do you need to know"
You're correct, Lyndon and Pete Rive are Musk's cousins.
He has invested a considerable amount of money in SolarCity and oversees the board; both are indispensable as the former allowed SolarCity to scale (which was the main problem with lowering installation costs outside of material procurement) and the latter has provided the Rives guidance when they needed it.
But as Musk has said, his main role at SolarCity is showing up to the board meeting and hearing the great results.
I'm very grateful for Blake Masters taking the time to type up his essays on his class notes for the rest of the world that didn't get to sit in on this class. If he wants to get his name out there more with your typical 4 page/3 bullet points per page/10 point lesson that is on Forbes.com then that's fine.
It's an alright article but don't let that take away from what he did over the last 10 weeks
Completely agree with his review of the course material. It's very informative but also dry. I find myself skipping through the videos since they just read over the slides and underline important topics mostly.
It would be great if Coursera or the professors including tags on the video timeline that corresponded to new topics they discuss during the lecture.
Overall though I've been really happy with the material and thankful for the opportunity to learn through Coursera and Professors Jackson and Shoham. Looking forward to see how Coursera progresses
Seems like Jamie Quint is following the Simon Sinek Why-How-What strategy. Why you should look at this job, how you'll do the job and what you'll get out of it.
I agree that the ideal mix is a combo of the two, highlights at the top and Why-How-What at the bottom
Fascinating article, behavioral economics and decision choice are exploding and I'm interested in seeing how habit formation adds to them. I look forward to the author's book being released later this month
Elon Musk will be one of the most influential people in the world for the next 20-30 years, not just directly from his companies but also from others in the industries he's pushing.
Let's not forget Elon is also Chairman of the Board for SolarCity as well, which is leading the distributed solar PV market.
He's pushing the human race forward in many areas, all at the same time. Pretty remarkable
