I live in SV and my son competes in math and robotics competitions. I have never seen an African American at a competition. Robotics has more caucasians. Still below 50% but Bay Area skews Asian so hard to tell. Elementary School Math co

SF transit is poor partially because they have managed to make car movement so miserable that people feel compelled to use transit. By making all the alternatives worse, you can seem decent. Compared to cities outside the US, it is a mess.

You can win the robot game and it has no bearing on advancement. The key is the 3 interviews. In the robot design interview, the number of points for quality of engineering is low. Most of the points are in the show your work category.

I would have felt better about Ebook pricing if you included the kindle version. I keep my reference books on a kindle with a 2 month battery. My tablets are always out of power when I need them.

I grew up on the Canadian Prairie. The only black people in the entire city were part of the professional football team. At school, the few black kids were tall and very athletic. It may be a stereotype but it was real in my city.

That is a false decision as well as an unlikely result. False Positives are 1000x more likely than actual positives. The more likely result is 100000's innocent Americans are placed on the no-fly list, thousands of innocent non-americ

I have donated even before this. How about Google giving them say $10M to hold some people's feet to the fire?

It would be nice to see raw Python like you have raw PHP. I would expect Django to perform very poorly unless you optimize it's caching.
