Obviously the situation has it's differences, but the original form of the National Broadband Network[0] here in Australia was, in part, to help nip these kinds of problems in the bud. It was close to a nationwide glass utility, but st

Careful with the strawmen; it was never stated that there is no difference. The point I read was that unfair advantage should be discouraged in all forms, no matter how insidious or subtle. I think it's a very valid point: You don&#x27

In my experience it has been declining in importance. In the past I'd see jobs advertised asking little more than a degree (or equiv. industry experience). Today I still see degrees listed, but often as "preferred" & alwa

I thought it was fun. What can I say, I enjoy pop psychology. Further though, I find it has had a real effect on how I relate to others. Reading of the different MBTI's, particularly how different types communicate, forced me to seek to und

Reiterating the sentiment. Seems great so far, but there are some errors that could create confusion. The good news is the author left his email address, so I dare say he's well aware by now :)

Indeed! So now you've got 30 minutes worth of CO2 hanging around in your blood... Surely that's going to cause some issues? Anyone with some biology smarts able to explain if this would be a problem? That aside, I wonder what the nano-med a

Certainly an interesting microcosm of a type of democracy... I wonder how feasible this kind of model would be for actual policy making.

Braille. Can you imagine the world of potential here for our low-vision friends? Dynamic text for signs (seen through something like Google's glass), down to topographical layout of the ground in front of you for navigation... This could re

This looks great, I hope it goes well! If I may make a suggestion for next time though: please consider finding a place with better wheelchair access. It's very disheartening to see the de facto bias towards able-bods reenforced. Of course,

Good piece, this discussion is needed. It's about disability too. May I briefly weigh in with an anecdote - please take it only for what it's worth: I am a quadriplegic due to a diving accident when I was 13. I know my limitations better th

Being a "customer review" log, I think the sentiment of the comments posted are valid. If the App crashes, you assign a star rating accordingly. Sounds exactly like what one should expect. It's unforgiving out in the wild. It might not be i
