Within home schooling communities, Singaporean style math has quite a following. Singapore also tends to score quite high on international exams. Basically, they focus on fewer topic more deeply. They also teach from concrete to abstract. I wish American schools would adopt this.

The best AndOTP feature for me is the fact that it integrates with OpenKeyChain thus allowing the use of PGP keys for backups. I also wish there were more apps that use OpenKeyChain. For example something that allowed notetaking.
I think the way to achieve your goal is different. Allow non-sociopaths a fighting chance to compete. If you are parent, and you love your family, it is impossible to put in the hours. Only the broken will rise to the top and work 12 hr days. One way to minimize this is cap working hours.
Wrap it in stunnel if you can. Basically an https wrapper. Stunnel is increasingly useful for all kinds of VPN especially when you are traveling since more and more places are blocking vpn. Https is almost never blocked. Works pretty much every except China.
Yes, but they have been bypassing due process by using 3rd parties instead of going directly to telecoms. And the friendly folks at Palantir et al are only too happy to share.
Verizon has a section of their site to turn off marketing and adjust privacy settings. Notably absent is the ability to turn off location sharing. I emailed the privacy department and they totally dodged my question. I still would like, and think it's important to have, an option to opt out of all location sharing. I don't care if it's for fraud prevention since that is easily abused by companies.

Ease of sharing is precisely why it's so powerful. I can send a link to a shared spreadsheet without the person having to login. Very little friction. Also, being able to co-edit in real time is very powerful. I think libreoffice offline is great, but for 80% of my use cases, gdocs is more convenient and useful. But I'm no longer comfortable with google having so much of my personal and business life.
Noticed this on Monday. After registering for fraud alert, they send an email that has link to http://www.equifax.com/fcra for free credit report. This was getting hijacked. But not if you used https://
One way to solve this problem is to create a data license that allows data sharing for replication use only until some embargo date set by the researcher. This would allow external researchers to immediately replicate published results, but would prohibit them from unfairly benefiting from someone else's hard work.
Emacs provides support for all major databases. You can interactively "send" chunks of sql to the db client, get syntax highlighting, etc. However, this seems better in that it does not rely on db clients. That said, here is a cool write-up of using emacs with postgres: https://truongtx.me/2014/08/23/setup-emacs-as-an-sql-databas...
It would be awesome if financial companies were required to provide free api's along with the full financial history. Currently companies like BOA charge you for automated access to your account and others actively limit Mint, for instance, from retrieving information on behalf of customers.
I like it too, but I had issues when I had to compile packages and other stuff. In particular, its version of qmake can interfere in unpredictable ways.
Babun provides an nice layer over cygwin (preinstalled oh-my-z and other goodies) along with an excellent package manager as well. https://github.com/babun/babun
On the similar note, the NFL app on my android, which was installed without permission and cannot be deleted, sends 10s of megabytes of data to Verizon even though I've never opened it once. What it's sending, I don't know, and it's using up my data plan for no reason.
In theory, your passwords are encrypted locally before they are uploaded. They claim that they are unable to see your passwords. That said, they are right next door to Langley, VA so who knows.
I've played with many of these. And this one is pretty good. One thing that I'd like to see is a "verbal" option in these types of apps. I have trouble "hearing" math and keeping it in my head. I envision an app speaking the problem, then you have to type in the answer. It requires both math and keeping the problem in your head. Lastly, a verbal or speaking option maps to many real world scenarios.
