With respect to government will make more permits - historically the government has reduced the number available (and does 3% each year by design) when they weren't used due to NG/coal switching (see 2014). If this goes completely nuts, then yes, the government would likely make more but the permits are still funding renewable energy so having it go nuts also spells doom for coal powerplants. It's like having coal powerplants match your investment in utility scale renewable energy:
Hi HN, I'm Evan. I was tired of traditional carbon offsets not impacting the source of carbon emissions so I started this company to enable r/WallStreetBets style pressure on coal power plants' bottom line. You won't get rich, but at least coal power plants won't either.
This looks amazing, nice work. I'd love to use this without a social log-in. Seems unnecessary and you might be losing users(about 80% of our users avoid the social log-ins on our site).
Can you add time estimates for the tests and lessons so I know what I'm getting into?
Do you have plans to support tests in other languages?
Thanks for the feedback! We included the login just so we have a way of helping people track their progress. What do you primarily see as the downsides to providing that option?
Time estimates and additional languages are certainly something we can look into. Which ones would you want supported?
The login is great but I was referring to another option that just uses email rather than Facebook or Google.
I've used python, matlab, and javascript. Python certainly makes the most sense for machine learning but might be nice to also be able to learn a new language at the same time if there's another language that makes sense for machine learning.
Have you thought about an upgraded service to have you review students data manually? Customers might pay a premium to have a human look at it so they don't have to choose between looking at it themselves and trusting your AI.
Good point. There are other proctoring services that offer a human proctor. So, at one level, we would be competing with them.
But, more importantly, we tell our teachers that they should think of AutoProctor as more of a preventive tool. Just knowing that they are being monitored means that students are much less likely to cheat. Teachers tell us that student grades have dropped significantly since they started using AutoProctor. So, at least as of now, it seems to be working.
Another area we would have to worry about with a human reviewing the evidence is the Privacy. For now, only the algorithm and the kid's teachers have access to the data. Opening it up to third-party contractors would mean having to deal with all the issues that brings along.
This seems aimed at coders who have to do the implementation but the people who have to use the product are the Sketch handlers (aka designers). Is that correct?
I have yet to meet a designer that knows code. It's a very rare coder that knows design, is that your intended market?
I wanted to love the value prop here as a founder that just had our first professional design refresh. It's a great price for a lot of inspiration but too busy to use. Quirkiness impresses first but then starts to distract.
As a technical person, I've always wanted a design 101 best practices guide that could help me make better decisions on the fly. I'd definitely pay for an hour course/chapter that solved this problem and I was excited at first when I thought this was going that way!
Took a look and couldn't find an answer to the following: Is there something that differentiates this from many of the other UI kits out there? Many of which are free?
If so, would be good to clearly call that out on your website. Overall the website tells a better story as to why than most other UI kits, but it doesn't state what is different other than "ours is better than doing the colors/style yourself".
This might be a big ask: but can you tie some sort of bias rating in by tracking legislation they sponsored or supported that was tied to a stock they also traded? Maybe with some relationship on time between those events?
Yes, that's definitely on our road map. Think it would be super interesting to see links between stock holdings and legislation (as well as data on lobbying)
