Wow. You are very passionate about this aren't you? (I'm not being sarcastic, I really admire you for voicing this). I guess I just don't see this practice as unethical because if I look at the whole spectrum of unethical behaviors, this se

Prevents? No. I didn't say that. But being poor usually means you don't have access to the same levels of education. Read the comments in this thread. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=520836

If your intern does work that you charge your client for, then of course it makes sense to compensate him or her. At my unpaid internship, I came in with no programming experience. They basically paired me with sr. programmers so I could le

Unethical is way too harsh. This is NOT class discrimination. If you ask me,judging on the basis of GPA alone is class discrimination. Poor people don't stand a fighting chance. But that's a slightly different argument. Unpaid internships

Actually I know quite a few people in my unpaid internship (programming) who don't have "real" jobs and are not exactly rich either. What they do is learn the trade by day, and go home at night to contract out their work on e-lance or some

I agree to an extent. But what if you just want to learn and you DON'T have skills. I realize most people just teach themselves. Fine. I did that too. But there is a definite benefit to working with teams on programming projects that you

I'm in an unpaid internship right now and I love it. The employer actually hires most of their talent through the unpaid internship program. They get to see if the people who do the internship are really there because they want to learn a

The site is very well designed and put together. I was pretty confused by the landing page though. I should be able to understand your product in 5 seconds and that didn't exactly happen. Also I'm curious to know what problem this solves or

I thought the limiting problem with this type of technology was that the type of algae needed was very expensive to obtain. I'm no bio-nut though.

Wow. There have been SO MANY discussions about the Iphone App pricing "issues." People, users are demanding apps in the $.99 price range. That's it. Until the market shifts, that's what people will buy. No one is "conditioned" to do anyt
