Edraak.org launches new platform for school learners, teachers

Edraak.org launches new platform for school learners, teachers
The Jordan Times, 2018/01/29
This article describes an expansion of the Arabic MOOC platform Edraak.

Things Experienced Speakers Wish They’d Known: Tips For First-Time Conference Speakers
Sophie Koonin, Medium, 2018/01/29
This sort of article is usually awful but this one is pretty good. I'm including it here because it suggests "tech folks might also like to try out Reveal.JS, which lets you write fully responsive slides in HTML or Markdown (perfect for code snippets!)." This remined me of things like Jupyter notebooks, which embed code into documents; it doesn't look like Reveal takes you that far, though. More...

What’s behind the Intel design flaw forcing numerous patches?

Bryan Alexander, 2018/01/04
Beyond the Horizon Report, writes Bryan Alexander, "’d like to kick off a process that could lead to a prototype or even a new publication." This of course is not to be confused with the existing Horizon project or report in any way, since these are in bankruptcy court, and through some magical process could be harmed by people talking about what should be done.
