@strypey Genre afficionados had many fewer options 30 years ago! But in a way that's good, because it meant The Next Generation got a second season it didn't really deserve, and thus had the long runway it needed to become a great show.

@strypey I generally agree, although different students have different needs, so some can absorb material on their own and others should have that personal experience.

As for Schmidt holding strong opinions about education, my reaction is the same as when Bill Gates does, to remember the scene in Justice League where the Flash asks Batman his superpower, and he responds, "I'm rich."

@trechnex @natecull Disagree, because The First Duty was a great episode.

Well, that's interesting. #bitcoin

@kaikatsu Reddit is a bunch of Stalinists. 🤷‍♂️

@vickysteeves This is what it's like to be an educational technologist and hear academics constantly blithely announce that online learning is substandard.

I'm like, "*Yours* is, maybe, but the mode of instruction has been shown effective by voluminous research done by your colleagues."

@toast .biz should go first. I can't remember ever seeing a legit site using it.

@Alamantus "Most lucrative for our shareholders" doesn't fit in a dropdown. 🤷‍♂️

@sir Why do you feel that way? (Serious question.)

@benjaminnorton Is there any evidence for that other than Maduro saying so?

@salixlucida I was just having a conversation with @ink_slinger wondering why there aren't more cooperatives making competing apps to Uber and AirBnB. Add this to the list!
