Why?

Those are some really good ideas. Starbucks was good for us for a bunch of reasons, and also hopefully there are people in the bitcoin community who like their daily Starbucks. Edi…

Unfortunately we are US only at the moment, but we hope to be able to serve outside the states soon.

If you need your money back just hit the refund button and if you need to buy something else, you can load more money on to the app. No need to wait.

It works great. We've tested a bunch of times. The barista just points you at the scanner.

That anecdote is really helpful. It's good to know that kids already think that technology is going to benefit them in the social zoo of school! I am interested to know if anyone a…

The problem is that you couched this in teaching kids programming, but I what I really want to teach is computer science. It's really more about answering the "why" question for th…

Thanks for the pointers, but the language issue isn't really a concern for me or is getting involved kids who like to game. It's more of how to explain all the other wonderful thin…

I want to help my hometown high school develop a CS course, because I want to give something back and as a fun side project. The main challenge I see is delivering the message that…

Completely correct, but is there not something to breaking the typical stereotypes of the major and have an attractive narrative to being someone interested in CS? CS can only bene…

What's the law school problem? I'm not familiar with it. This link breaks the groupings down into more distinct pieces: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_271.asp

So much for encouraging people to get college degrees. If they all end up getting the same degree and flooding the market, what was the point? I hoped that the growth would be spre…

Was the explosive growth of business degrees what was envisioned when "everyone gets a college education?" It's not that degrees are useless, but that there are too many of them, w…

I just moved out of the DC area, but it is probably one of the fastest growing areas for startups in the country. There is a whole bunch of technical talent there working for the g…

An infrastructure investment like this one needs to be seen from the perspective of a one time capital expenditure. A savings of $50 billion isn't a one time boost, but a year over…

It is funny that for such a strong industry, the proponents for an increase in the nation's technical infrastructure are so quiet compared to the proponents for "green" tech.

Suggesting that the cost of organizing, judging, critiquing, and hosting those papers is basically free is not supported. http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/11/the-economic-c…
