This is completely wrong. Self-driving cars don't break Uber - self-driving cars will help Uber reach its full potential. The assertion that Uber is a service that matches riders with drivers is completely wrong. What Uber does is matc

>We are giving choice to those who can afford it and taking it away from those can't. Amen. I'm astounded by the number of people who completely fail to see this very basic point.

They did mention they planned on later opening rounds specifically for foreign founders. But if you are based in the U.S., I think they'd consider you a hispanic founder and thus eligible for the current round, yes? I'm Brazilian

I was a Technology administrator at a k-12 schools before coming to NYU. What you describe are (unfortunately) pretty classic issues that tons of schools (as we did) faced. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about how to start tackl

I'm an NYU student in Education and Digital Design - HIGHLY interested in your problem. Can you describe a bit more about what the issue you are facing is? (what kind of data/how it is accessed/ etc.) With this info people on

Because then you simply can't just walk away. You now have this massive amount you'd like to collect and the client has that over you. So you keep talking to him, he keeps giving you excuses, "maybe if we just get to this mil

Wonderful initiative -- wish this was around when I was in school. Any projects in the works to tie this into Khan Academy's CS offerings? I work at a school which is about to pilot a programming class with 3d animation, but I found th

How widespeard of a belief is this in the teaching community? I happen to completely agree with it, but I've also heard the opposite -- suggestions that dropping kids into professional coding environments would give them the feeling th

WhatsApp has a distinct advantage in the fact that it can rely on lock-in since the app itself is responsible for the connections that are made within it; Once the .99 price-tag comes along, you are faced with paying for it or losing your e

Harvard Accused of Bias Against Asian-American === Harvard Accused of Favoritism towards African-Americans/Latinos/etc. The former just has a sexy title. The latter we've known all along because these schools openly state tha

I think it goes beyond any sort of talent pinch. Any teacher who could teach a calc or pre-calc class certainly would be able to teach a beginning coding class to middle or high-schoolers. The real issue is that the people who come up with

I'm hoping the current frenzy around coding dies a bit, and, after the dust settles, people bother to implement it correctly. Best example I can demonstrate of the ridiculousness that we are in right now: https://www.youtube

Great work implementing this - just the fact that I now know that his kind of realtime image processing is possible in the browser certainly provides lots of fuel for project ideas. Summer hasn't even started but it already got better.

What's the advantage of this over PeerJS? What is your guys' pricing going to look like? Can I deploy this to something with thousands of users already?

Ever since I got into snooker I could never get excited about pool anymore. Snooker feels just so much more cerebral... Feels like Checkers vs. Chess to me. Although I think that for snooker you have to be quite good to really enjoy playing

I've tried using the example URL on his blog with one of my documents, just to see exactly how the information is stored, and I could never get it to send me an actual response with any of my documents. Has anyone had any luck?

My thoughts exactly. I am in charge of Canvas at our school, and we are deploying Google Apps for Ed. next year. Not thinking of using Classroom at all - at least not with the current feature set.

This concern would not make a whole lot of sense for teachers. The matter of fact is that the stability and longevity of this service is far more certain than the typical length of LMS contracts in school districts or the length of time tha
