Turns out, other people thought WestWorld was good too. Also:

The awards show will be held Sept. 17 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Stephen Colbert will host the ceremony, which will be broadcast by CBS.

Weirdest part is that CBS is still a thing.

Gabe Weatherhead is both a gentleman and scholar:

Hobosigns is a sub-domain of Macdrifter, but it’s hosted through asocialfolder.com. It’s a new secret society created by an internet friend. It’s pretty great. With minimal configuration (and a Dropbox account), I have a totally new site. Posting to the site is super easy. I can do it right from my browser or through Drafts or Workflow for iOS. Basically anything that can access Dropbox can post to the site. The ease of posting is one of the things I like.

The other thing I like about Asocialfolder.com is that it’s not pretending to be an SEO engine or some bull-crap for Millenial over-sharing. It can be a lot of things to different people. I happen to use it as a Tumblr that I own. If you want to over-share your Burning Man adventure, go for it.

FWIW Gabe Weatherhead is no hobo, in fact, he is a great American.

The New York Times is probably violating Betteridge’s Law with this headline.

Natasha Singer for The New York Times:

DreamBox is among the minority of digital learning start-ups that have allowed independent academic researchers to examine and publicly report on their data. Still, the platform’s effectiveness is difficult to gauge.

A report from Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research concluded that DreamBox use correlated with some improved math scores. But, the researchers cautioned, if those students had more effective teachers even without the technology, “then we might be falsely attributing” student achievement gains “to the software, rather than to the teacher.”

Even so, Ms. Woolley-Wilson, DreamBox’s chief executive, described the study as good news, saying it confirmed encouraging reports from teachers. She pointed out that, unlike DreamBox, many other education start-ups lacked research to prove even the most basic assumption: that their apps did not harm students’ educational results.
