I'm no businessman, but does anyone else feel this will kill a lot of potential innovation? Not every project pays dividends immediately, and some are worth pursuing even at a long-term loss. (imagine if we all had fiber today and band

I'm really blown away at the quality considering a raspberry pi camera module was used. Based on the green ribbon (as opposed to blue in the previous model) I'm guessing they used the second version of the camera module. This vers

This is at the bottom of the thread right now so I'm going to assume people don't agree with this. However, you're completely right, by continuing to use Facebook you validate their platform and keep feeding them your data. T

Yeah I'm aware it's a joke, which you might have noticed with the three different instances of the word "joke" in my comment. And harmless to you maybe? It's as harmless as a joke about male rapes in prison. It nor

They never claimed such a thing, only that a specific race had to be chosen for the experiment to have a comparison. Also, really funny how you tell people to stop taking offense at words while simultaneously doing that exactly. By your own

It taught me that everyone is a better artist than me. As a consolation, I'm using a Macbook Pro touchpad, touted as the best and even it can't compensate for my lack of artistic skill. Not sure if it would be easier with a mouse

This is fascinating at looking at how people create abstractions for things. Also funny how sometimes people just give up and write words as that's the best way to label whatever they were given to draw. Lastly I'm surprised at ho
