They may not tell them that directly, but when you consider someone's race in giving aid, aren't you telling them that they are disadvantaged because of their race? We should be focusing on helping someone because they are poor, b

I think racism plays a part, but there are are factors to consider as well, including victimology. The current way we are approaching race in america seems to be part of the problem. We seem to be telling people of certain races that they a

I agree that reducing the latency would be awesome, but is this something the app developer has any control over, or is this just a restriction imposed by the device hardware (or operating system). In the example video you posted, it appear

The quote was made in the context of NFL players. (At least that's how I read it) Still, even though college players aren't paid with money, they still receive compensation (scholarships, financial aid, free tutors, etc). To indic

"Most never made a dime off the game." The article lost credibility for me there. You may think the majority of NFL players don't get paid enough for what they do, but I'm pretty sure no one is playing for free.

Yeah, contrary to their "No Compromises" promise, this does seem significantly inferior to the Apple Watch (resolution doesn't look nearly as good, no touch screen, polish and finish, etc). With the price at nearly half ($199

Telefonica is a global telecommunications company. (I've never seen them in the US, but they are very common in latin america) Not sure what they have to do with a web video chat system.

Looks interesting. It would be nice if they were more specific about what browsers the framework supports though. There's a phrase that you can "Leverage the technology of the future but target today's Evergreen Browsers.&quo

Really? You think we should restrict how people can give their money away? If you are going to go that far, why not restrict how people can spend their money also (because why should rich people, or people in general, be able to decide what

Nice site. A few thoughts: - The city search doesn't work if you specify the state (San Antonio, TX for example). I didn't wait for the autocomplete to load and just pressed enter and it returned no results. - It would be nice if

Interesting concept. I was slightly disturbed, however, watching the video when it showed someone's hand way to close to moving bandsaw [1:49] and miter saw [2:10] blades (what appears to be 1-2 inches away from the blade). If you do u

Right, but you are left with an extra 800 posters, which have already been printed and just have to be shipped. Had you just done a printing run to fulfill the commitment to the backers, you'd be left with more profit from the project

What do you define as creativity then? You could say that the majority of writing is composing sentences with nouns and verbs if you look at it from such a low level. (or that artists are just applying specialized techniques to add to or su

Not sure I agree with this. The article compares extremely low-fidelity wireframes with very high fidelity mockups. You don't have to choose between one or the other. Tools like Balsamiq allow you to create mockups that give a better a

I don't think they are improving shipping speed to compete with online stores, as much as to compete with stores in your community. I think the goal is to make ordering from Amazon almost as quick as getting in your car and going to a

Can you provide a source for this? I've never heard of this before and am curious what legal restriction you are referring to.

Besides the obvious violation of individual rights, I worry about the enormous potential for abuse in these programs that could quickly turn our democracy into a dictatorship. Systems designed to identify terrorists could easily be used to

I might agree with you in other fields, but not in technology. There's no good reason (provided you have the ability to work) to have a 6 month to a year gap in your resume where you have nothing to show. You don't have to start a

I agree that patents should be unique and novel (and that many patents are issued that are not novel). I disagree on the idea that innovation can only happen through expensive R&D and by experts in labs. Such innovation is useful and sh

Probably not. Something like "I've been volunteering down at the hospital" would be much better in those professions. Regardless of your profession, surely you can find something productive to do for 6 months, even if its part-time or witho

Agreed. This is a confusing and very strange way to do pricing. It shouldn't matter what the size of my team is. I should just be able to buy a license for my entire website/application.
