Read the article. This is exactly what NGOs attempt to do right now, figure out exactly which things people need and provide the bare minimum. It doesn't work. The point of the article and paper is that people with choice actually do make g

If there were a better balance of stories in the media then this would be much less of an issue. In the west most of stories about the rest focus on the "barbaric" aspects. FGM, despotic dictators, Islamic extremists. If there was an equal

Based on your link above it appears that you can turn off the "discovery box" in the Disqus settings and have "just comments" if you wish.

In terms of the comparison with SMS, this survey also seems to miss that sexting via text (words) is very different than sexting via snapchat (pictures). I'm sure a much higher percentage of the population is more comfortable with the forme

The tube experience is probably fairly consistent, just that it costs more (except in the cases of delays and closures) so rating the bicycle trip is really the most important thing here. Perhaps "flip a coin" with probabilities proportiona

It's useful to know how to manage this situation when you have zooming enabled as well, as sometimes you want to zoom and pan in the x direction within limits. In this case you might go outside of your bounds with a zoom operation, so trans

Culture is also a big reason. People at Waterloo talk about engineering/CS/whatever non-stop. A colleague of mine went back to do his PhD at Western and his biggest observation was that the kids in the hall weren't talking about what projec

Shipping containers do however make amazing retail shop fronts. They're all over the place here in Northern Ghana. Obviously there is still a ton of room for innovation on the industrial design front and it's great to see your focus on how

Cool! I've also been playing around with d3 lately so great to see some more examples. One suggestion I'd have is to make the centre node something other than the word "English". Even as a native speaker I found it momentarily confusing (is

I'd like to see Kickstarter cap the maximum amount a project can raise at some (low) multiple of the minimum goal. I think projects get into a lot of trouble when they raise 6x or 100x more than they expected. That traction is exciting so p

This used to happen to me all the time on all sorts of pages. I haven't noticed it since upgrading to 12.04 so perhaps it has been fixed. I did find the bug report for it at one point and a workaround is to right-click and open the web insp

The "Angry Birds" don't even get an extra 10k - if your app makes more than 10k you don't get the payout. I think this is an easy win for RIM for sure.

If you're hoping to learn how to code in Python then beware MIT's 6.00x (assuming it is similar to its old MIT OpenCourseware class). The prof take Python and writes it like it is Java, using getters and setters in entirely unidiomatic ways
