• A reply on Talk: Steven Levitt on child carseats

  3 days ago: It's a sarcastic hyperbole.

• A comment on Talk: Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley

  May 12 2013: Conformity: that may be true, however, the countries with highly successful education systems all seem to have an even greater conformity in their schools.
  
  I think the real issue is we have only one path for students, and if you don't do well on that path, you pretty much just get dropped. Our school system is like a gauntlet.

• A comment on Talk: Robert Gordon: The death of innovation, the end of growth

  Apr 27 2013: Biotech is probably going to bring us as many or more new inventions as electricity did, so I'm not too worried. It's kind of hard to be pessimistic if you watch enough TED videos

  A comment on Talk: David Pogue: 10 top time-saving tech tips

  Apr 27 2013: They're all good except for the first one. SPACE has inconsistent behavior depending on where the focus is in the browser. For example after watching the video, when I pressed space instead of scrolling down, it switched back to full-screen mode for the video. This problem is only exacerbated by the fact that some pages use javascript to change focus after loading.

  Apr 9 2013: Another problem that I've seen in local elections is one of hiring people to run on the "other side" to split the votes off from your opponent. It seems that having money is just an unstoppable advantage.

  Apr 9 2013: The small contributions mentioned in the talk are vouchers. So it's the same thing as public funding except each person gets to decide where their $5 goes. Everyone gets a voucher, and it can't be used for other things... so except for not being able to use that money on Social Security or whatever, it doesn't affect the poor.

  A comment on Talk: Andy Puddicombe: All it takes is 10 mindful minutes

  Jan 12 2013: "When is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes?"
  
  Just now when I watched this video... zing!

• A comment on Talk: Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS

  Jul 19 2012: I agree--any technology that keeps us from communicating with our spouses or family is worthwhile.
