What are APIs, anyway? And what is a Personal API? https://words.werd.io/what-is-an-api-bd913f45ff23#.fteulfohq #edtech #apis #opensource #opendata
I've always wondered this. Fun to see it asked by my friend, reported by my friends at KQED, and powered by Hearken. http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/30/how-much-truth-is-there-to-those-speed-enforced-by-aircraft-sign...

Farewell, ThinkUp. I'm sad - but it's clear to me, too, that these kinds of products / models aren't tenable. https://medium.com/@anildash/the-end-of-thinkup-e600bc46cc56#.xa7w65g3u
Children are picking up on Trump's dog whistles and using them to bully. Playgrounds still just a microcosm. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/09/california-primary-trump-rhetoric-school-bully?CMP=sh...
Kimmy Schmidt, Lady Dynamite and Bojack Horseman are all shows about mental health. Curious what Netflix knows about millennial trends.
