Mmm...yeah, I see your point about the 1/year. Hadn't thought about it that way. And most of the annoying 14-year-olds wouldn't be our friends That's definitely the case here. :)

So not only do you have a recipe for cripplingly slow growth, but you also fail to ensure improvement in the quality of submissions. It's not like people are invulnerable to "Dude, c'mon...invite me!" from their friends, hacker or otherwise

Perhaps, in your hurry to condemn, you have misinterpreted. When I can walk out the back door and speak directly to the head of the department in charge of our application programming team, or the guys running the servers, and so on, then I

The flaw I see in that argument is that you have no guarantee of service. Some people (my employer) care about that, and some don't. I'm not saying it's insurmountable. I'm just saying that the idea of a Boeing or a General Motors convertin

What test do you propose, other than self-identification, that would cut across every possible definition of "hacker"?

Not a question I can answer. ;) But I want one because the quality of Blu-ray (or whatever hi-def format) simply beats the snot out of anything I can get via download. So perhaps that's a subjective thing. I'm not ready to kick my physical

Yes, I understand that. I maintain that it doesn't support your argument that our economy is being dragged down. You may argue that it's not growing at the rate you think it would, and I can respond by arguing that the resulting society isn

Despite which, the US economy remains one of the largest and most productive in the free world. Your examples do not support your assertion. According to both the IMF and the World Bank, the world's 10 largest economies in 2006 were, in ord

This is just my perspective as a parent, but I think the underlying premise is just fine, thanks. My daughter will have her entire life to learn how to deal with inequality by simple dint of being American. I don't need a playroom to teach

Please cite your evidence for how we are being "dragged down," and please cite a purely capitalist society that rivals our own (or those of Western Europe). I'm willing to consider evidence, but not an unfounded assertion like this.

It's interesting that the article's core attitude is based on the idea that eliminating inequality is (or should be) the main concern. It would be appropriate at this point to zoom out a bit and remind everyone that we're talking about a

How is it, I wonder, that so many people get bent around the idea of making an economic analysis out of this? We're talking here about a playroom , the very nature and substance of which means that the teachers should be primarily concerne

There have been several posts lately about "stupid" or "unlikely" ideas that make money. I could see this falling into that category. It's an interesting attempt, if not singularly creative.

I don't see that that's what happened at all. Apparently a fair portion of the class was marginalized and basically kept from play. They were either subtly or directly told that they weren't welcome in Legotown. The "smarter" kids learned t
