It's a small point, but perhaps a relevant one for the trustworthiness of the article and the author: you can pay for a Baltimore bus with a DC metro card. The article confidently states an incorrect fact.

Good OCR with a nice API would be very useful.

I don't think that the code needs a CS student. A programmer, perhaps. But a motivated high school freshman with prior python experience can figure this out, given some time.

Well, yes, when you are making the decision based on someone being from a poor country. There are better measures on which visas could be distributed. I strongly support increasing the number of total visas, but that is separate.

Politicians, by and large, are fairly numerate. Speechwriters rarely care about numbers, and policymakers care not at all.

Trying the demo, loving it so far, just broke it. At http://ektomarch.com/games/SubbaniaDemo/Subquest.html At large scale, pure black. At small scale, normal swaying white dots with small transfer point, upwards arrow. Happened after the

I would like to toss in that I am a beginning programmer: Not nearly good enough to fix the bugs, but I can read code and help comment it, change it to make it stylistically compliant, etc.

Low afro-american/hispanic participation can be explained in large part by lack of high quality education, lack of computers, etc. There is some residual, but nothing like the vast disparity that exists for women despite a lack of acceptabl

I recently was forced to enter a password of not more than 8 characters as part of college applications. I was somewhat flummoxed, because the disposable password I use for applications I want to be able to forget about is nine characters.

You assume a total lack of self interest: A perfect adherence to Kant. I disagree with you about it reflecting a sick society: I think it reflects a real one.

As a rather shameless plug, using DDG allows you to do the exact same thing if you add an exclamation mark without even having to make a custom search engine.

Do you have any examples of excessive conciseness?

So, the core(rich) countries include South Korea, Japan, Western Europe, and the United States. What exactly is the periphery? I don't think that there exists the geographic bias you imply.

Could you expand on the "mere existence of religion?"

I am saying that if the case comes down to a 5-4 decision, the court issues no ruling, and in all respects participants act as if a writ of certiorari had not been granted, except that you extend any relevant deadlines by the amount of time

I would add he is old enough that the appointment would have relatively limited value. In an increasingly politicized court, it might be better for a president to appoint someone with limited intellectual weight who will be a reliable (libe

The supreme court is a court of appeals. If there is not a two person majority, Stare Decisis.

There is a difference between an optional GUI and a mandatory one. I don't see why an optional GUI would hurt R, but I have almost no experience in this area. Would you mind explaining?

As an American in politics, I dearly wish I could get 35% of my countrymen to vote in the elections that most impact their lives.

Important point here: You are not representative. If you are on Hacker News, you have probably been called brilliant at least once. You are almost certainly, given that you don't seem to be a non technical co-founder in a startup, in the to

From a practical approach, the physical world can seem fairly deterministic. If you drop something in a vacuum and nothing hits it, you can say with a great deal of accuracy how long it will take to hit the ground. I don't think that this p

Along with "more taxes, more red tape, more corporate control" one also sees things like environmental regulations. Whether supporting environmental regulations is liberal(I want the right to enjoy my back yard without smog from his car and

This is the probable outcome, unless we do something differently and better. This is why open source matters. This is why I understand someone using the latest GPL. Getting your product out to as many users as possible may be important, but

When you mention the strong differences, are you accounting for the y axis starting at varying locations? Once I realized this, the significance of the results went down significantly.
