Do you (18f) have any success with redesigning internal government sites, those that require smart cards to access? Some of those are the worst.

I feel like we are going to need smart roads before we can have autonomous vehicles. If the road could talk to the car, the car would be harder to fool or confuse. Maybe.

I'm interested how you record your music. I see on your website that you have a producer. Do you record in a home studio? Pro Logic?

Okay, I don't disagree with your premise. And I was a small time pirate before Spotify and the like. But couldn't you legally copy music between devices without being a pirate? Also, surely nobody tried to have music for an MP3 pl

Interesting that you consider it bullying if an individual abrasively states different viewpoints from the crowd. Is it bullying if the crowd uses similar tactics to silence the individual? Perhaps it depends on whether you agree with the c

Nailed it. Leaving YouTube out of it, if you become extremely popular doing a thing and you have a million or ten millions sets of eyeballs tuning in to watch you do that thing, you will become an advertiser (unless you somehow think it&#x

I wonder if this would have a negative effect on the earlier presents. For instance if you give your child presents over 5 days. Will the first day's gift be old hat by the fifth day? What a first-world problem!

And it can easily be justified by two assumptions: 1. The average under-compensated man had worked there longer or had been under-compensated longer AND/OR 2. The average under-compensated man was in a higher paid role.

I think you're right. E.g.: Google is 70% men. At 100,000 employees: 70,000 Male 30,000 Female If 5% of men are underpaid that's 3,500 men. If 10% of women are underpaid that's 3,000 women. More men are underpaid (3,500 >

I would say one indication that you are not artificial is that you even ask the question. Questioning is extreme higher-order thinking.

Straw man. I never remotely suggested that employment is only based on supply and demand. You're suggesting that it's not.

You are allowing anecdotal evidence to replace statistical analysis. There are lots of people who stay in a job when they could theoretically move up. But overall the labor market is subject to the law of supply and demand. If what you say

Most retail and fast food businesses are running on razor thin margins, especially when the economy starts to weaken. There are a few exceptions. There was a lawsuit in the last few years between Burger King and its franchisees because Burg

Perhaps the problem in that case is the government overstepping it's responsibilities. I firmly believe people should be held responsible for what they say and do but there has to be freedom to say things that are offensive or scary or

I would argue that abstract painting became popular about the time photography become somewhat common. Photographs took up the mantle of depicting reality and painting became more about visual expression of feelings, perhaps.

I know their job is to talk about cities and stuff. But what's the point? The United States is the 4th largest country in the world and the third most populous. Is it any wonder that we have a wide diversity of experiences?

Honestly. I know that a lot of new technology is not quickly adopted by older people. But do we really need technology to save us any more time? Are we really filling the empty time with worthwhile activities?
