Should We Let Wunderkinds Drop out of High School? - ABC News - http://abcnews.go.com/US...

"Thomas Sohmers, 17, of Hudson, Mass., has been working at a research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since he was 13, developing projects ranging from augmented reality eyewear to laser communications systems. This spring, his mom, Penny Mills, let him drop out of 11th grade. She says she "could see how much of the work he was doing at school wasn't relevant to what he wanted to learn." On Monday, Thomas and his mom learned that he is in esteemed company as a high-school dropout with a knack for computers: David Karp, 26, sold Tumblr, the online blogging forum he created, to Yahoo for $1.1 billion. Examples of tech geniuses who lack college degrees are well-known — Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg among them. But Karp left high school after his freshman year, with his mother's blessing, at the tender age of 14. Critics say dropping out of school to pursue a dream is a terrible idea. Vivek Wadhwa, a fellow at Stanford Law School who teaches and advises...

"Susan Bartell, a psychologist based in Port Washington, N.Y., who works with adolescents and their families, says she frequently encounters parents who are convinced that their kids are extraordinarily gifted. But she cautions that it's "the very rare exception when this decision (to drop out) makes sense." In the case of Karp, she said, "it worked out, but almost always it doesn't —...

"But the tech community may be different from other industries. Degrees are not necessarily seen as a hallmark of achievement and programmers are judged on their ability to type lines of code. You are what you create. What also sets the field apart is that computer programming is not taught at every high school, and even when it is, the most talented students often either "surpass the...

One note that should be made: Unless you're settled into tech, doing your own thing, or not afraid of odd-jobs, there is very little available work for individuals under the age of 18. While helping several of my cousins look for jobs, a lot of them have a minimum age of 18, and comparing that to just a few years ago when I started looking, it was not hard to find offerings without a minimum age, only a few were restricted by age.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
The standards for "genius" seemed to have dropped if you put it into an historical context. David Karp made a blogging tool—sure, Tumblr's nice, but it's not even original. Who is he, the Gutenberg of the digital age? What would real geniuses, like Galileo or Newton or Einstein, think about about a guy who made a "me-too" blogging tool? But because he sold Tumblr for $1.1 billion, he's a genius. It's lame. Stay in school.

Ancient Mayan pyramid in Belize destroyed for road fill [San Jose Mercury News] - http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_2323...
Mike Nencetti liked this
From the article: "A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday. The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico."

I drove by this sign, then looked it up on Google Earth. It looks like the river is 130 feet below the sign level, which would suggest that flood was truly epic.

- Andy Bakun
Reasons why FB bought FF in order of priority (pure speculation on my part): 1. Talent acquisition. 2. Technology acquisition. 3. Possibly patent acquisition. 4. As a test bed for trying out different approaches to how the FB news feed could work. 5. Eliminate part of the social media competition and prevent FF from being acquired by Google or Twitter. Andy, they paid $50 million or so for this place. They're not going to give the code away for free.

I think we can rule out #4
- Greg GuitarBuster
Greg, it certainly didn't pan out that way, but some of the speculation during the time of the purchase asserted that was part of the idea.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
This site obviously has no current use to FB, since it's barely being maintained, so presumably it's mission accomplished and it was worth the $50 million.
