Those are some really good ideas. Starbucks was good for us for a bunch of reasons, and also hopefully there are people in the bitcoin community who like their daily Starbucks. Edit - sentence structure

If you need your money back just hit the refund button and if you need to buy something else, you can load more money on to the app. No need to wait.

That anecdote is really helpful. It's good to know that kids already think that technology is going to benefit them in the social zoo of school! I am interested to know if anyone approaches CS from this more holistic point of view that I wa

The problem is that you couched this in teaching kids programming, but I what I really want to teach is computer science. It's really more about answering the "why" question for the kids and showing something that stimulates curiosity. Gran

Completely correct, but is there not something to breaking the typical stereotypes of the major and have an attractive narrative to being someone interested in CS? CS can only benefit from more people trying it out and seeing if it is to th

So much for encouraging people to get college degrees. If they all end up getting the same degree and flooding the market, what was the point? I hoped that the growth would be spread out between many fields, but everyone just piling in and

An infrastructure investment like this one needs to be seen from the perspective of a one time capital expenditure. A savings of $50 billion isn't a one time boost, but a year over year contribution to the economic growth. In this light, it
