I love the focus on Diversity and Inclusion during this hackathon season. Sam Altman said in a blogpost "People who are not white males will start many of the best companies of the future, and we’d like to fund them," and I think

You can't use facebook messenger programmatically anymore. Also my parents still don't have smart phones and don't want ones. They use mms pretty heavily.

For higher than 30 minutes you really want to look into planes instead of quadcopters. Running 4/6/8 heavy duty motors forces battery life to be an issue. A plane has significantly less than that which lets them go for longer.

I actually really don't like this. I took a look at the source and the images are being loaded from the original sites. For the content creators that pay for hosting with ad revenue you're still hitting their servers and depriving

'“Genius” is the term you should add to your Google searches whenever you’re looking for deeper meaning and context' - I wonder if this is partially a response to the negative press they had due to the whole Rap Genius SEO disaste

Long term that's a terrible move for Nintendo. Sure short term it would raise money but it would lead to Nintendo leaving the console business and becoming more like what Sega is now.

Judging is one of the places that the focus of startup prototyping/learning gets confused. Some judges don't really care about the technical aspect of your project. Boilermake stands out as a great hackathon that had judges emphas

I really like the crowd judging idea of letting hackers do the judging. Science fair style seems to be the way to do it and it solves the problem of getting people to actually leave their booths.
